Council Receives More Responsibilit Growing yearly in experience and purpose, the Student Council acts as an intermediary between the faculty and the student body. Elected representatives convey suggestions, projects, and planned endeavors to their faculty advisor prior to formal approval and supervision. This democratic process has several distinct advantages, not the least of which is the formation of future civic and social leaders. Council members are learning, through observation and participation, the intricacies of parliamentary procedure, free election and intelligent organization. The Council, conducting after school meet- ings, consists of four officers and sixteen members-six seniors, six juniors and four sophomores. One of its most serious respon- sibilities is sponsoring the monitor system to keep order in the halls. Besides the annual Junior Dinner Dance and the Senior Ball, seasonal dances are sponsored throughout the year with various committees being formed to ensure their success. A symposium on the Catholic press was presented by senior council members at a meeting of the PTA. These projects encourage student initiative and responsibility. Gradually, as the students grow intellectu- ally and civically, the student governing body is given a greater responsibility in school decisions and functions. Junior Council members: Timothy Carey, Joseph Yost, Joseph Murphy, Mary McCafferty, Charles Devine, and Dennis Korrot.

National Honor Society Backs Worthy Activities The National Honor Society is now in its second year of existence at Holy Cross. To be eligible for membership to this society, students must be outstanding not only in their scholastic work but also in the fields of leadership, character and service. At present there is a total enrollment of thirty-three seniors and twenty-one juniors in this society. V Besides the honor that is bestowed on them during their remaining high school years, membership in this society is an influential factor in the student's admission into college or other fields of occupation. As a project for this year, the NHS col- lected used stamps, Christmas cards, and religious articles to be sent to the missions. Also, funds from the treasury financed books which were shipped to Africa. Senior members of N.H.S.: First Row-Annette Hughes, Suzanne Lorusso, Teresa Ault, Joanne Cuzzupe, Joanne De Nobile, Delores Repitcky, Eileen Martin, Anne Hausl, Christine Salciunas, Carol Yetko, Patricia Montone, Helen Podraza, and Cheryl Reiss.
