Girl ' League Girls' League, an organization to which every girl on campus belongs, has been very active this year under the leadership of Bonnie Thomson and Judy Phillips, the first and second semester presidents. A New Girls' Tea began the year by wel- coming the girls new to our school. Working along with Boys' League, the girls sold pro- grams at all of the home football games. The annual fashion show was held at an as- sembly in December, the clothes being furn- ished by Joel's and modeled by Monarchs. The highlight of the Girls' League season was the annual Backwards Dance. Ending the year was a Big and Little Sister Party, to which the incoming freshmen of next year were invited. With the help of Miss Ruth Beresford, over- all and 5th period advisor, and Mrs. Jose- phine Yarborough, 4th period advisor, the organization was very successful this year.

Morningside's first campus magazine, a proa- uct of the newly formed Creative Writing club, became a reality this year. Named Euglena to symbolize the beginning of MHS literary publica- tions, the magazine was a ioint effort with Ingle- wood High School. Euglena was printed late in May, with copies selling for 25 cents each. The two high schools combined to sell 500 copies, many of them to students and teachers. Arrangements were also made to sell a limited number of copies at local book stores. The magazine, 24 pages long, in- cluded poetry, short stories, art work and essays. Euglena was composed of material written main- ly by seniors, but some underclassmen also con- tributed. Responsible for the magazine's publica- tion were Mel Mandel, editor in chief, Marty Garcia, manuscript chairman, and Miss Pam French, advisor. n 4 t ,Al

While increasing its size and ornateness to the greatest level ever, the i960 Sceptre, l72 pages strong, retained its nominal cost to students and faculty at SA. The many improvements incorporated into this Sceptre were due to a large extent to the financial assistance of House of Representatives, who spon- sored a surfing movie for the student body that took in several hundred dollars which was ap- plied onthe annual. One of the improvements, a padded cover, was again employed after a lapse of one year. For the first time in school history, an originally- designed cover was drafted by an MHS artist, Bob Wright, who also designed the individual division pages. Unity within the sections was strengthened by the use of a running theme throughout the book. Veteran staffers such as Ron Jacobs, Mel Man- del, Olenda Carter, Tom Barnes and Connie Delany worked with a host of newcomers and the staff advisor, Dick Wynne, to produce a superior Sceptre. ln another change from last year, the photography was done almost entirely -by pro- fessional photographers. Regular classroom meetings provided time to complete much of the work, but special meetings after school, on weekends and during vacations sometimes became necessary to meet the frequent deadlines. Utilizing a record budget, the annual staff had enough money left over to publish a 12-page summer supplement which was free to all Sceptre buyers.
