f. COUNCIL It is doubtful whether the average student realizes the full extent of the services rendered by this behind-the-scenes organization. So, we arc happy to take this oppor- tunity to express our gratitude to these men who are so vitally essential to the well- being of the school. The Conewago Joint School District originated from five separate and independent school districts in 1948. It is composed of representatives from Abbottstown, Cone- wago Independent, East Berlin, Reading, and Paradise. The twenty-five members have always taken a keen interest in all matters pertaining to the student body and school property. Through their untiring efforts the school is always well supplied with all the necessary materials and a competent faculty is secured to keep things running smoothly. OFFICERS Harry R.

CHIEFS From the time the first school bus arrives in the morning until the last one leaves in the afternoon, Mr. Gruver and Mr. Hash are busy mak' ing the school system run smoothly. A large responsibility is placed upon the capable shoulders of these vital men, but they are never t x) occupied with their multitude of duties to lend a hand with a worthwhile project. Students feel free to confide in them as an unfailing source of sound and steadying advice. Their determi' nation to discipline students fairly and with understanding has earned them the appreciation of the entire student body. Although this is Mr. Hash's first year with us, we feel that he already belongs. He, and Mr. Gruver have been wonderful friends to us and a great inspiration to the class of ”52 . % 10

INDIAN Commercial All future secretaries! Be reasonable' How can you expect to perch on the boss’ lap if you don’t know how to pound a typewriter or take at least 40 words per minute? And commercial boys! how arc you going to become a business executive worthy of a secretary? Typing, Shorthand, Jr. Business Training, and Business Mathe- matics cannot be Greek to you! These sub- jects arc the basic essentials of your chosen career. A capable secretary, stenographer, or typist will never lack a position. Every financial wizard on Wall Street would be as helpless as a baby without his office staff. Master the art of composing a tactful and yet friendly business letter. Soon the boss will rely on your ability completely. And then . . . Bingo! You may be the new boss! Or, if your business acumen is strictly mediocre . . . you can always marry the boss’ daughter! Mrs. Mic ley and Mr. Schade English English class! If only it were over! But ... do we stop to think how important that “good-for-noth- ing’’ English is to us? Presenting our thoughts clearly and concisely and being able to speak correctly is a priceless asset in any career for which we may hope. Although we have resisted every step of the way all the efforts of our instructors, still we have been exposed to verbs, predicates, nouns, adjectives, etc. It was a tough fight, but they won! Despite our untiring battle, some of the grammar must have taken root, as our diploma will testify. We have hob-nobbed with Stevenson. Longfellow. Chaucer, and Shakespeare. We have cheered with Walt Whitman and shed a tear over Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
