Directed by Mr. Day Lee who was assisted by President Richard Gebhardr and composed of 53622 of the school the Second Cen- tury Committee acts as the school s hospitality commit- tee at major school functions. This year these events included Parents Day the Father and Son Dinner and Alumni Day. On these occasions the duties performed were: helping with registration and parking serving refreshments and cleaning up. The Second Century Committee also assumes the responsibility of showing prospective students around the school. It is behind the scenes in their club s office however that the members perform their most important duty. This consists of mailing school literature such as The Alumni Newr to the parents Alumni and friends of the school. The previous director Mr. Charles Coit also assisted in the public relations- field which is close- ly connected with the Second Century Committee.
