FIQDM TI-IE HEAD MASTEIQ N an incautious moment last summer just after my appointment as Head Master was announced, I told a Newsweek reporter that I lamented the intense pres- sures which tended to take some of the joy of life out of our school community. We do not have, and are not likely to have, good-natured pranksf' I said. I thought that this was really quite broad- minded of me in face of my new responsi- bilities but did not realize that every last boy in school would Hnd a p-ersonal mis- sion for himself in the sentiment. I take it all back. There is plenty of room for good- natured pranks in school, and the question now is How many pranks can a I-Iead Master stand per term? The magnificent Beat I-Iilln sign of the old gym roof. Mr. Wicks' Volkswagen in the halls of Upper. The Iigger sign transplanted to the Espla- nade. These events alone would make the year memorable. But there have been other memorable things this year. I think at once of per- sonalities in the Class of 1960. Butler Lampson campaigns for the elimination of classes. David Loveman wins a national award in the Science Talent Search. Don Regan takes pot-shots at the new physics curriculum. Iay and Gary Keller, identical twins, show us what it means to study diligently. Alastair Pullar does not parade frequently enough in his kilts. Dick Win- ickoff wins high regard from everyone for both brains and brawn. Quite aside from pranks and personali- ties the Fifth Form on the whole has seemed to me enthusiastic and coopera- tive in everything that we have done this year. Some of our tasks-like the great stamp-licking-have been above and be- yond the usual call of duty, and we have responded well to the need. But in day-to- day affairs the Form has also been superla- tively good-humored and understanding. It must be difficult to break in a new I-Iead Master, and if I may be a bit subjective I think you have met the challenge suc- c-essfully. Tea in Alumni Study has been a great pleasure to Mrs. McClellan and me, not to speak of Bill and Ann. In spite of occasional blips of shaving cream on 'the Upper House walls and slightly frenetic cries infrequently detected in the dining room, behavior has been gentlemanly. Th-ere is really only one thing I worry about. It seems very curious to me that Mike Eisner's little dog f'Whitey doesn't seem to answer to his name at all. When I call him by his proper name he never responds, but somehow Mike and his co- horts seem to keep him under control, so I suppose itis all right. The heart of our community, of course, lies in the classroom, and this Fifth Form has made a record worthy of the rgoth Anniversary Year. After midy-ear I had the pleasure of announcing that the Fifth Form had earned its highest midyear average in history and would therefore have an extra clay of spring vacation. The class average is only one of several indicators that sug- gest 1960's very strong record. They raised again our College Board verbal scores to a level that wouldhave seemed stratospher- ic as recently as ten years ago. Perform- ance has been similiarly superior in ex- tracurricular activities. D-el I-Iarwich's management of the Concert Club suggests the possibility of his having a career as Eleven

THE STUDENT CDUNCIL .Xifll year thc Student Council has enlarged its participation in the al-- liairs and in the running of the School. The idea ol' placing more responsibility in the hands of the students has met with great success. The Student Council consists of Circle House presidents, presidents of V form houses, and oflicers of the School. lt is verv active in all phases of School life. Dur- ing the football season it helps the Major L Club police football games and or- ganize rallies. The poster contest for the Hill game was initiated by the council. School trips such as this yearls journey to Blair for the Lawrenceville-Blair football game are supervised by the council. Fourtrefz Several years ago the Student Council took over chapel spotting, and it has been doing ll competent and thorough iob since. The council has also recently helped in the raising of money for the School camp and in the clothing drive for the needy. The control of student discipline by thc council in recent years has greatly en- larged its power. Punishments recom- mended by the council for boys who have committed offenses are often approved by the headmaster. As :A spokesman of stu- dent opinion, as a competent administra- tive device, and as a provider of vital services, the Student Council is appreci- ated by students and masters alike.
