Student Council Sitting: George Taylor, Galen Book, Miss Reimensnyder, Rhea Miller, Marlene Umbrell. Standing: Betty Lou Piper. The first of the year we reorganized the Student Council with two representa- tives from each class: one from Fannett Township and one from Metal Township. The Student Council meets the last Tuesday of every month. The Student Council is selling ice cream and chocolate milk at lunch time to raise money for the benefit of the school. The Student Council purchased the four plays for the Dramatic Club, which were given in the assembly. We are now buying feature movies for the student body, and, with the aid of the PTA, have acquired indoor game equipment such as: Touring, Table Tennis, Canasta, Five Hundred, Sorry, Rook, Meet the President, Finance, Pit, and Rubber Horseshoes. Officers of the council are: President ........... --- Lewis Shearer Vice-President --- ..... George Taylor Secretary ...... .... B etty Lou Piper Treasurer -- -- Marlene Umbrell Page 29

Year Book taff Joe Burd, Mary Ann Park, Lyle Adams, Mrs. Shoop, Wayne Campbell, Nancy McAllen, Mary Morton. We have finished the Fifth Volume of the Tuscaroran. This is the second year we have joined forces in making our Year Book a success. It is an honor to be on the staff, even though there is plenty of work required of each individual. It is also a privilege because, after our edition is turned over to the Printing Press, we, the staff, have the privilege of touring the Craft Press Building and learning exactly how the year book is put together. We sincerely hope that you enjoy our year book, The Tuscaroran of 1954. Those on the staff are: Editor ............ ...................... L ewis Shearer Assistant Editors --- ....

Shoop There is an old saying that if you do not progress you must retrogress - that is, go backwards. That means we must look to the future, for if we do not, we will be looking to the past. That saying is just as true as it ever was. In almost every field we can be proud of the progress we have made. Look at the progress we have made in aviation. The Wright Bros. started flying under a hundred miles an hour. Now we are flying faster than sound, with any point on the earth just a few hours away. In medicine the same is true. We have progressed from the time where a shot of brandy was the cure for almost everything, to the miracle drugs of today. In education, we have made remarkable progress also. We have progressed from the Little Red Schoolhouse, with all eight grades in one room, to our large consoli- dated schools with their many windows and attractive colors. The school no more teaches the three R's, but has other classes to broaden the students' knowledge. In our valley, we have progressed with the rest of the world. We have come from the Little Red Schoolhouse of our grandfather's day, to the time when we are looking forward to a high school combining both townships. just as the little red schoolhouse was adequate for our ancestors, so are our present schools adequate for today. , But what of tomorrow? Will present needs be suitable for tomorrow, or will progress bring something new? If we are to progress, we must look to the future. Lewis Shearer Page 28

This year, our Dramatic Club is also our Speech Club. With this advantage, we expect to produce a very good play later on this year. In the Fall, the Speech Class gave a choral reading at a Parent-Teacher meeting, and at Christmas, an Assembly program in the Senior High School. This program consisted of singing, appropriate poems, and presenting three one-act plays. The first play, Herbieis Christmas Present, presented the amusing problems of a newly- adolescent boy trying to give his girl a suitable present in spite of his sisters' schemes. The second, Christmas Bazaar, was warmly human. The third, A Merry Christmas, was taken from Little Women, and gave a pleasant picture of an old- fashioned Christmas. Page 30
