But size makes no difference, as all are active with traditional and novel projects. As leader and mediator between administration and students, the Student Council sponsors homecoming every year and schedules entertain- ing assemblies. Broadway musical “South Pacific was pre- sented before a full house by the Drama Club. Debate Club stole a place in the field of entertain- ment, too, by presenting the morning announce- ments. Drill Team underwent thorough changes brought about by their new sponsor, Lloyd K. DeWar. And flag girls were newly outfitted in bright blue cordorouy. Hearts swelled with generosity as Science Club members conducted the Hearts Drive, with the hope of saving a few hearts by their efforts.
