nn SL. Student Service Corps and Before our new building opened the Student Service Corps under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Clark and lVlr. Vernard Fegley had spent many hours lamiliarizing themselves with our new plant. Their tireless service during Dedication Services will be remembered by many of the 15,000 visitors who had guided tours. But beyond that, visitors throughout the year were pleasantly and cour- teously shown the building by representatives of the Student Service Corps. No Radio City Guides ever did a more faithful job. .

Government Begins at School World history shows time and time again that good government under ca- pable leadership is the center ol our social circle. Such is the case here at Abington. The school's social lile was centered about our Student Council which represented the students ol Abington in outside affairs as well as affairs and events within the school. As the first student council in the new school's history, this student council had the responsibility ol handling and solving many of the problems and events tangent to opening a new building. Under the guidance ol Miss Clark and the leadership ol Sarah Murray. president: Lloyd Bobb, vice president: Barbara Po- lansky. recording secretary: Indy Goss, corresponding secretary: Fred Iohnston, treasurerg and Iohn Clement, sergeant-at arms, this year's Student Council did a superb job, at the same time emulating the standards ol past councils. No one will forget Student Council Open Houses, to mention one ol their achievements. These gave students a chance to socialize in a manner not possible in the classroom or busy school activities! IAC Dance, Spirit Committee, Dog House. Snack Barg School Store are just some of their numerous projects. Our Student Council is certainly worthy ol merit and it is hoped that luture Councils will maintain the tradition and ideals of good student government. tabovej The Executive Committee of the Student Council left to right, Back Row: V.
