RQ: M 5. Girl ' Lea lt's been a Woman's World at MHS, according to Mrs. Lois Stegen, girls' vice principal. The Girls' League has played an important role in sponsoring varied activi- ties adding to the memories of this fun-filled year. Under the leadership of first semester officers Irene Hinsche, presidenty Barbara Leonard, vice president, Geri Schreier, recording secretary: Marcia Schreier, cor- responding secretaryy Janet Willner, treasurer, Bonnie Thompson, historian, and Kay Earnest as Big Sister, Girls' League had a full semester of activities beginning with the New Girls' Tea in the fall. Soon afterwards came a candy cane sale, annual fashion show and a conference at North High. The spring elections showed Paula Born, president, Geri Schreier, vice president, Nancy Eberle, recording sec- retary, Sandi Bergman, corresponding secretary, Valerie Venger, treasurerg Gail Achtenberg, historian, and Sara Schuman, Big Sister. This was also a busy semester. After installations, of- ficers attended a district conference at Beverly Hills High School. The Backwards Dance, Carousel, caused a stir throughout the school. Girls started working and the boys started running, but not too fast. Several sales followed and the activities for the year ended with the Big and Little Sister Party. Helpful advice was given throughout the year by the sponsors, Miss Marcia Biorkman and Miss Ruth Beresford. ii Zlgfpilrip- ..,. 4 sw -f ' ry , T i Ti , of y , ig,, sg .

The only pictures taken by photographers outside of school were the ID pictures, faculty and senior pictures, the portraits of the two sports courts, and less than a half a dozen miscellaneous pictures. We of the Sceptre staff feel that we are one of the few schools in the Los Angeles area that have such extensive student photography. Though the Sceptre staff has met once a day throughout the year, many meet- ings after school and during week ends and vacations were necessary to turn out an annual of this calibre. With the large budget of this year's annual the staff was not only able to turn out the largest annual in MHS history, but was also able to supply the Monarchs with a no-cost summer supplement, to be issued in mid-summer. Nine MHS Lion's Roar and Sceptre staffers represented Morningside High School this past school year in the Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. ' Membership in the Society is reserved for high-achievement, high-scholarship iournali-sts who have proven their abilties over a period of time to their staff advisor. The members who received this honor were Jack Achtenberg, Tom Barnes, Mol Mandel, Gregg Peterson, Lenda Carter, Mike Beltramo, Dick Douglas, Ron Jacobs, and Hal Solomon. Although the members were initiated late in the year, they had time to present to the school a Current Events Test to find the effect of news publications on the high school population. Plans for the future include social events, school service, and fund raising for iournalistic scholarships.
