SENIOR EXECUTI CE COUNCIL giued ow ffm Aedf in acfiuified How about something different for an ac- tivity this year'? Why don't we rent a ferry boat for a moonlight excursion? Let's have a good ole square dance! Couldn't we have a skating party? What's wrong with a hay- ride '? These are just a few typical examples of suggestions offered the executive council when planning the senior activity. Everyone wanted something new and different, so the council really had a tough time trying to plan some- thing that would interest all tastes and still be original. After many meetings and much strain on the council members, they finally came up with a really top activity-a Carnival Hop!! The Carnival, complete with fortune teller, kissing booth, penny pitch, trick photographer, dart games, cake contest and others was com- bined with a dance and held in the high school. Probably the most unforgettable part of the evening, was the program at intermission, con- sisting of the famous Ragtime Charlie Delp, that talented Four-Maldehydes Quartet, and those terrific, exciting dancing dolls. After the Carnival Hop was over, the execu- tive council, with Stuart Warner as president, Gene Miller, vice president, Sue Beall, Secre- tary, and Lois Weixel, treasurer, plus home- room representatives Bobby Lamneck, Helen Williams, Audrey Anton, Doris Ford, Jim Burke, Ken Rall, Lucille Seethaler, and Carol Hefren, settled down to making arrangements for the dinner dance, the senior class play, and other events. lt's really tough to plan activities that satisfy 250 seniors, and we thank the executive coun- cil for doing such a good job of it this year. First Row-Jim Burke, Lois Weixel, Gene Miller, Stuart Warner, Sue Beall, Ken Rall. Second Row-Roberta Lamneck, Carol Hefren, Lucille Seethaler, Miss Grob, Mr. Caruso, Miss Rucker, Helen Williams, Audrey Anton, Doris Ford. l

We are proud of your many and varied achievements both in your academic work and in activities. We are proud of the school spirit manifested both on the field and in the stands, in victory and in defeat. This second year under the joint agreement has served to further cement the relationship already existing between Ross Township and West View Borough. The two districts working together make it possible to be assured that the same high standards of achievement built up through the years will be maintained. An enrollment of the size needed to offer a well- rounded curriculum is also assured. All members of this Board join with your school administrators, faculty, and friends in wishing for you the necessary courage and desire to face life bravely, for a willingness to play the game honestly and fairly. Above all, it is our fervent hope that each and every one of you will be devoted to the cause of democracy and a love of country that will make you in- telligent citizens of whom we can continue to be proud.

As a bridge between the administration and the students, the West View council has functioned smoothly and efficiently. Much of the credit is due to President Dave Roy and Vice-president Norman Brenneis assisted by an able cabinet. Faculty guidance was supplied by Mrs. A. Hartmann, Mr. Jordan, and Mr. Metz. Our council has always been noted for its numerous accomplishments. In September the Council sparked a maga- zine campaign that netted almost 9'p1,l00. Some of this sum was used to buy a new clock and scoreboard for the gymnasium. A lion's share of the profits was earmarked for special as- semblies starring such attractions as: Jack Rank interpreting Shakespeare, the Dorelle Trio, Captain Art Hook lecturing on Alaska, D. K. Ernst the hypnotist, and other educational programs. Three delegates, led by Treasurer Stuart Warner, attended the State Student Council Convention at Coatesville, Pa., where West View was voted the privilege of sending a representative for the second consecutive year to the national convention to be held the second week in June at Denver, Colorado. This student will be Norman Brenneis.
