Since fhe beginning of fhe Sfudenf Fund fhree years ago, fhis organizafion has ...ii-Gw1v1Nfif'1'1.fi f 2 B B' ' .- :tw , , J A-sr A n ww: gf. STUDENT FUND ORGANIZATION proved ifs worfh in raising money fhrough sfudenf funcfions for improvemenfs abouf fhe Academy. This year, fhe organizafion became acfive in early Ocfober and sponsored five evenfs fhroughouf fhe school year. The hrsf of fhese and new fo fhe Academy fhis year was fhe magazine selling campaign which was sponsored fhrough fhe Middle and Upper Schools in early Ocfober. Sfudenf supporf was fhe vifal mainsfay needed for fhe success of suoh an underfaking. Wifh fhis problem in mind, fhe execufive com- miffee appoinfed a spear-heading group fo capfain each of fhe forms. This sysfem proved highly successful, for fhe sfudenfs in fhe fwo weeks of fhe drive whole-hearfedly ioined in fhe solicifing, and collecfed 56700, S2400 of which was profif for fhe sfu- denfs. The Sfudenf Fund also handled fhe fickef sales for fhe Domino Club's produc- fion of The Hasfy Hearf: a large porfion of fhe proceeds wenf fo fhe Sfudenf Fund. The annual Talenf Show was acclaimed by many as fhe besf given since ifs begin- ning fhree years ago. The performance was enfifled Norfh Pacific and in line wifh fhis fheme, fhe show was performed on an imaginary boaf. Masfer of ceremonies, Admiral Bill Beaffy, was more fhan half fhe show in infroducing and doing his various magical fricks befween fhe acfs. One of fhe highlighfs of fhe show was a fake-off on a masfers' meefing. Few of fhose presenf will forgef fhe frue-fo-life anfics of Mr. Balsley as done by Hal Hamilfon or fhe serious manner in which Sandy l-laslam por- frayed his fafher. Anofher feafure of fhe show was an excellenf panfomime acf by several iuniors. The success of fhe evening was due, in large measure, fo fhe efforfs of Mr. Ridgway, who firelessly rehearsed fhe acfs. The money raised from fhe show exceeded S500 and swelled fhe freasury over fhe S3000 mark. ln lafe March fhe biennial Bazaar fook place. The Sfudenf Fund, wifh Faculfy Advisors Mr. Sargenf and Mr. Drexel, began planning as eary as January, buf fhe arfices, however, were for fhe mosf parf collecfed in fhe fwo weeks preceding fhe Bazaar. Boofhs were obfained from a local church and were decorafed wifh con- siderable color by Paul Roebling and his assisfanfs. Probably fhe mosf popular boofhs were fhe sporfs shop, record sfand and whife elephanf deparfmenf. The refreshmenf commiffee did an excepfional job, much fo fhe pleasure of fhe hungry sfudenfs. The various games were sef up in fhe squash courfs and proved fo be very successful in fhis sifuafion. Mr. Fraserand his golfers insfifufed a hole-in-one confesf wifh a sef of golf clubs fo be awarded fo fhe man who sank fhe ball in fhe cup. Nobody puf fhe whife sphere in fhe cup, buf several drives came wifhin inches of fhe pin. A dozen golf balls was fhe reward for being closesf fo fhe hole and was awarded fo Ned Vare. On fhe lasf day of fhe fhree-day show a dinner was held in fhe dining room followed by fhe climax of fhe affair, fhe aucfion. The fiffy-odd arficles ranged from bicycles and aufomobile accessories fo a ham and a crafe of oranges. In fhe fhree days of fhe Bazaar, over Sl7OO worfh of maferial was sold. This, added fo fhe freas- ury, raised fhe fofal fo 54700. The Annual Academy Concerf was fhe lasf evenf of fhe year, occurring in fhe middle of April. The money raised from fhis evenf pushed fhe fofal over fhe S5000 mark for a record fofal collecfed in one year by fhe sfudenfs. Parf of fhe fund was immediafely expended on improvemenfs. Some was puf fowards a wresfling maf. Shower room improvemenfs were insfalled during fhe spring vacafion, while renovafing fhe +rainer's room was leff fo fhe summer monfhs. The success of each evenf depended wholly upon cooperafive sfudenf help, and fhe sfudenfs can well be proud of fhe achievemenfs fhaf were fhe fruif of fheir efforfs.
