To cope with its growing obligations and services, the Key Club accepted a larger number of members this year. Together with its customary services of delivering daily papers to home- rooms, ushering at ball games, and operating the foo'ball scoreboard, the Key Club began an active service program in the community. In door-to-door campaigns members solicited funds for the North Shore Child Guidance Association, and the Retarded Child Fund, labored at the North Shore Fair and “adopted,” a needy family for Christmas. Keymen were rewarded for their services by a deluxe steak dinner sponsored by Kiwanis. The Key Club-sponsored scholarship was greatly en- riched through the club’s annual faculty softball game. Boys' Athletic Association, a selective group sponsored by the heads of the boys’ gym department, became a more valu- able aid to the coaches this year than ever before. The club, radically reorganized under the leadership of Henry Meltzer, Paul Slayton, Bruce Gitlin, and Andy Lewin, assisted the coaches in the planning of intramural and interscholastic sports events, promoted sportsmanship, and encouraged participation in ath- letic activities. 27

Weissman, R. Liberth:on, S. Beckerman, D. Bloch, H. Fox. Under the eagle eyes of Mr. Kehrig, and the crafty leader- ship of Mike Kalnick, Alpha Hi-Y selflessly and generously of- fered their time and energy in multitudinous ways. Hi-Y operated the cubicle known as Lost and Found, a spot intimately known to absent-minded students. In memorable fashion the group maintained order at football and basketball games, stood guard over the library, and courageously performed in the Hi-Y-Faculty basketball game. In their eagerness to serve the community, Hi-Yers canvassed G. N. for donations to the North Shore Child Guidance Association and the Retarded Child Fund. They also assisted at the annual North Shore Hospital Fair. An unusual and highly praised innovation was the Hi-Y's paperback book stand. Everyone knows the Hi-Y girl. She is that person for whom you desperately search when you have forgotten your locker key and are ten minutes late for homeroom, the talented courier who delivers messages for the guidance and main offices, the pitchman who sells refreshments at the football games and afternoon snack bar, and the convivial miss who acts as “Hall Hostess. Girls’ Hi-Y, affiliated with the Y. W. C. A., performed other services on a larger scale. It staged a vigorous mint-candy 26 GIRLS' HI-Y: Bottom row, left to right—J. Schulz, W. Shore, S.

TAPI About 500 students who either wanted to render community service, wished to taste the fruits of social work, or just enjoyed being with children became members of TAPI (Teen Agers Pitch In). The members collectively planned and supervised excursions for groups of underprivi- leged children from the Henry Street Settlement House. Sleepy but enthusiastic Great Neck lead- ers and energetic youngsters set out Saturday mornings on trips to various points of interest in and around New York City: the Empire State Building, the Planetarium, the circus and NBC studios. In addition, TAPI adopted a family recommended by a Manhattan newspaper as a Christmas project. Although TAPI was partially supported by the PTA, it received the major portion of its funds from dues and voluntary student contributions. Membership entailed compulsory attendance at all meetings and participation in a specified number of trips. All activities were planned and executed entirely by the students under the supervision of Mr. Price. Although the children were rowdy, the sub- ways were noisy and confusing, and wet feet and weary constitutions often resulted in colds and blisters, members maintained that seeing the smiles on the happy youngsters was ample compensation for their hard work. 23 TAPI goes to Central Park.
