HE Student Council organization operates under officers elected by the school at large and representatives elected by their re- spective homerooms. Due partially tothe diligent efforts of President Bernard Berlin and Miss Cora S. Neely, the sponsor, the council has had a most successful year. The homerooms have become more closely united as well as truly represented. Projects and major problems were well handled by the Research Committee, which was under the guidance of Franklin Schryer. Preston Parr, as chairman of the Assembly Committee, obtained programs that were of interest and enjoyment to all throughout the year. A new problem presented itself in the form of recording dances. With the belief that admission prices were too high for some of the students, and that recording dances were not very popular, the Activities Committee under Jack Dugan had a hard problem to solve. However, when the Football dance proved profitable, it was found possible to give another dance with orchestra with admission free. The few recording dances given at intervals during the year were pronounced successful. Student Council, with homeroom cooperation, did its part this year toward collecting money for the United Campaign. A sub- stantial sum was contributed and donated, Officers of Council were: President, Bernard Berlin, Vice- President, Franklin Schryer, Secretary, Anita Kelleyj Treasurer, Russell Conover, Corresponding Secretary, Myrna Kroll.

al program. of Cheltenham to have some sort of combined music This year their dream came true in the form of what was called the Music Festival. lt was made possible through the combined efforts of all the musical organizations in the school. It proved to be such a social and musical success that plans for a similar program were made for the coming year. It will, no doubt, be an annual event at Cheltenham. Participating units in this festival were Band, Orchestra, Boys' Double Quartet, Girls' Double Quartet, String Ensemble, Mixed Chorus and the Brass Quartet. Features of the evening were the musical enactment of an old- fashioned country melodrama by the band with solo work by Donald Straka, and the presentation of Hiawatha, by a combined boys' and girls' chorus with a long and well presented solo by James Sefton. The conductors of the musical were Messrs. Walker D. Taylor and W. Clair Hower. The string Ensemble, commonly known as the Little Sym- phony, played at several special occasions during the school year. Under the leadership of Margaret Delp, the group met during and The were entirely without spon- after schoo sorship. , I hours to rehearse. y ORCHESTRA Nineteen

Returning from a vacation, Miss Christine Straub led the So- ciety in many school activities. With these activities, the members of the group endeavored to live up to the qualities they were subject to in their election. New members were admitted into the society on April sixth. Other activities for the year included the sponsoring of All- Vocotional Day and All-College Day, during which, conferences, led by recognized leaders in their respective fields, were held for the students interested in various phases of the occupational world.
