Under the leadership of an all girl regime the council worked on revisions of the dress code which proved to be im- mensely popular with students and faculty alike. However, not all of the Student Council ' s activities were governmental. A Christmas semi-formal and other functions which added interest to the student ' s life were sponsored by the Council. The story told by Student Council proved to be very special, indeed. It gave students a chance to practice a true democracy and to participate in a government fashioned in the image of that of our country. Chess Club was another addition to the club pro- gram after a lengthy absence. Chessnuts, both expert and beginner, joined this club to learn and practice this great strategic game. Of all the organizations in the school, none com- manded more respect and had more rigid entrance requirements than the National Honor Society. Membership in this academic organization was main- tained by a select few who proved outstanding aca- demic achievement and who met the standards of the society. These included character, leadership, scholar- ship and service. Headed by Richard Leiby as president, Mike Dei- bert as vice-president, Sarah Henrich as secretary and Kurt Lebo as treasurer, the Honor Society sponsored many activities. The most important activity of the society was the selling of candy; the profit from which was used to provide a scholarship for two deserving seniors. Honor Society told a story of deserving students, who, through their own efforts, obtained an honor held in the highest esteem of students and faculty . 23 Clubs

These clubs, proved most valuable to the students who participated in them. F.F.A., or Future Farmers of America, provided for interested boys a chance to learn advanced tech- niques in farming and to apply them on the school grounds. The new conservation area located behind the school was completely run and kept by F.F.A. Yearly activities included entering swine in the Har- risburg Farm Show where Brandywine entrants an- nually brought top awards. Future Homemakers of America, otherwise known as F.H.A., prepared talented girls for a future in home economics or for becoming successful house- wives. F.H.A., like F.F.A. andF.B.L.A., is a nation- wide organization and each year girls from the Bran- dywine chapter were pitted against hundreds of other girls. The honors reaped by F.H.A. could be seen in the showcase in the lobby. F.B.L.A., or Future Business Leaders of America, encouraged interested business students to pursue a career in the most vital part of the American society. 24 Clubs
