THE HI-LIGHTER COCRDINATES WARDE'S LITERARY TALENT. The primary functions of the Hi-Lighter, Warde's literary magazine, are to stimulate student interest in writing and to increase an appreciation of litera- ture among Wardites. The magazine serves the school community by publishing students' creative articles, which take the form of poems, essays, crossword puzzles, short stories, or clever jokes. This year the members of the staff also .sponsored a short story contest and actively participated in an article exchange with literary magazines through- out the country. The process of producing a Hi-Lighter is very complex and interesting. After gathering the final material, Editor-in-Chief Marjorie Rosenman, As- sociate Editors Edie Canning and Ina Huston, and the Review Board spend seemingly endless hours sorting, editing, coordinating, and typing pages, in order to present to the student body two pro- fessionally printed, literary issues.

If the Warde Weekly were to deviate from its regular policy and plagiarize a slogan, probably the most appropriate one would be All the news that's fit to printf' In addition to reports of all school news, regular features in this two-page publication include Warde Window,', interviews with a se- lected outstanding senior: Wardites in the News , Along Alumni Alleywg Club Caper, a calendar of events for the following week and a third page, Sports Roundup, which appears once each sea- son. This year members of the Weekly distributed a questionnaire to determine L'Who Is Warde's Hero?,' and placed pamphlets about dating, cour- tesy, and driving, in the library. The Editor-in- Chief, assisted by a newly formed Associate Board of Editors, also undertook the publication of This Is Andrew Wardef' a college-catalogue style pam- phlet for the benefit of high-schoolers.

A unique hybrid of a newspaper and literary pe- riodical, the Crimson Crier is a monthly publica- tion catering to the needs and desires of the student body. The paper appeals to diversified tastes by re- porting current events both in and out of school, by presenting book and play reviews, and by fea- turing sports and humor articles. One of the high- lights of the Crier is an occasional interview with a distinguished member of our own or a neighbor- ing community, such as John Hersey of Southport. The Eagle's Eye, which reports the latest goings- on at Warde and features an outstanding Wardite 127 every other issue, appears as a regular attraction. The Letters to the Editorv column gives students an opportunity to voice their complaints and praises, thus helping the newspaper to achieve its goal as a voice of student opinion. As the result of the research and writing done by the reporters, the corrections and suggestions made by the staff and editors, and the aid given by the three advisors, the students of Andrew Warde receive a readable, stim- ulating newspaper, a truly representative symbol of Andrew Warde's intellectual and literary accomp- lishment.

SCHOOL COUNCIL GIVES STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR OWN OPINIONS. The School Council, the student governing body of Andrew Warde, is an outstanding example of democracy in action. Representatives from the soph- omore, junior, and senior classes of each house,and a group of voting faculty members, appointed by the Headmaster, comprise its membership. Through these members, all Wardites have a voice in govern- ing their school and in planning its activities. The Council endeavors to promote the general welfare of the student body, to provide activities which will offer an opportunity for school-wide participation, to make the students conscious of democracy and good citizenship, to be of service to the community, and to promote open expression of both student and faculty opinions. Council members and volunteers from the stu- dent body comprise the functioning branches of Council, the committees and commissions. Each of these groups, although stemming off the main trunk of Council, has an individual purpose: the Election Commission conducts elections of class oflicers and Council members, the Public Relations Commission publicizes all Council events both in the school and in the community, the Hospitality Committee, sta- tioned in the Student Council Office, guides visitors through the school, the Social Committee plans all dances and social events, and the Snack-Bar Com- mittee serves as a medium between the students and starvation. The Club Commission charters various clubs according to student interest, the Canteen Commission assists volunteer organizations in spon- soring informal, non-profit social gatherings for Wardites, the Student Exchange Commission spon- sors a foreign exchange student and helps send one or more members of the junior class abroad, the Assembly Commission presents a variety of educa- tional and entertaining assemblies and sponsors spirit-boosting pep rallies before important athletic events, the Constitution Committee considers changes in the school constitution or its by-laws in order to keep these documents timely and practical, the Eagle's Nest Commission conducts an annual drive to collect money for various charitable or- ganizations, the Service Committee performs help- ful functions such as distributing the New York Times to individual students, and the Handbook Commission provides a booklet of information to the freshmen and new students. The chief activities of the entire Council this year were a fall workshop held at Camp Jewett in Cole- brook, Connecticut, in which the program for the year was scheduled, decoration of the school Christmas tree, and the sponsorship of the Kick- Off Dance, the Record Hop, and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Through its cooperative and diligent efforts toward the improvement of Warde, School Coun- cil', has become synonymous with service.
