COUNCIL through these pep rallies to build up a sense of school pride. The council's hospitality committee has provided escorts for visitors and new students entering our school for the first time. Among its many services to the students, the service committee can boast of distributing sports schedules. The Council has trie,d to make the students of Warde more aware of communityactivities through such committees and commissions as finance, community chest, and service. Above all, the council has bravely tried to set up worth- while and lasting traditions to be followed in our school government organizations of the future.

This project was then turned over to the Student Council. This year in Andrew Warde High School, a commission, known as the Student Exchange Commission has worked diligently to obtain enough money to bring a European student to our school for one year. In this way it is hoped that both the American and the European students will have an opportunity to learn nd understand more about one another. With the co-operation of the entire student body, he Exchange Commission has successfully conducted various money-making projects, such as selling newspaper sub- scriptions and Andrew Warde booster buttons, and sponsor- ing a Freshman dance and a Faculty-Student basketball game. Warde's first assembly was sponsored by the Foreign Exchange Commission. A guest speaker from the American Field Service, an American student who had participated in the program, and a Danish exchange student presented an explanation of the foreign exchange student program. Through these efforts next year the Commission will have the pleasure of welcoming to Andrew Warde an ex- change student. 69

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE . . . C. Terebesi, B. Kasvinsky, Mr. Day, D. Altman. CHOOL This year, for the first time, the school council has been composed of both students and faculty. This influential body, establishing and enforcing school rules and students' privileges, has, through committees and commissions, play- ed an active part in the organizing of extra-curricular and social activities. This year's school government sys- tem has provided opportunities for a maximum of students to develop interest, responsibility and leadership abilities. Actively working even before school opened, the coun- cil held a meeting, the purpose of which was to prepare the members to guide and orient other students during the first confusing days of school. An all day School Council work- shop was then held. At that time the initial problems were discussed, and suggested solutions were acted upon. The council has striven to obtain the activities requested by the majority of the students. One of the council's most successful accomplishments has been the basketball can- teens, sponsored by the Social Committee. These canteens operated on a non-profit basis and provided the students with a place to go, amid an informal atmosphere, after games. One important function of the council has been to aid in the promotion of school spirit through pep rallies, and l l Row 1: J. Judd, Secretary: R. Kasvinsky, President: S.
