Arriving at school after dinner one dark Thursday night for their class party, a number of Juniors were startled to observe some hungry editors still at work on Guide Post. There is hal- lowed tradition behind such dedicated labor, going back to the days of 1930 when teacher Harry Hale Smith sponsored a paper which reported an ath- letic party victory in the G.O. elections over the progressive party, which had advocated a school budget. Times have changed, and the Guide Post Mortems column is history, replaced by the looms of Dick and Bob spinning tales of sports and coaches. News stories most interesting to cover were the Co-ordinating Council Boys' service clubs' ad- missions controversy and the appearance of major issues on the local scene, such as Nuc'ear Testing and Housing Intergration. Most provocative item overall: the National Honor Society furor. 21

SER VICE ORGANIZATIONS Recovering from the violent G.O. controversy, which resulted in a much needed re-evaluation of the school's service clubs, these organizations emerged stronger, finer, and more capable than ever of serving the school and the community. Members of Key Club delivered the New York Times, daily ushered at school and community assemblies, and solicited funds for various charities. Two new activities adopted by the club were ad- ministering the lost and found and serving re- freshments at home basketball games. Members of Boys' Alpha Hi-Y served as ushers, hall guides, library aids, and collectors for the March of Dimes. Members of Girls' Hi-Y maintained the school bulletin board, worked in the attendance and main offices, took charge of locker keys, acted as hall guides, sold theater tickets for the PTA, and continued their support of Kyong Su Lie, the Korean child. Over a thousand dollars was col- lected for the Student Aid Fund. Members of TAPI (Teenagers Pitch In) lent their time, energy and enthusiasm to underprivileged children from the Henry’ Street Settlement House in New York City. On Saturday afternoons throughout the year, T.A.P.I. took these children swimming, to a sneak preview movie, to a visit with Santa Claus, to several museum exhibits, and to other points of interest in Manhattan. 22
