Adler Our student government would be unable to exist if it were not for the work carried on by the Board of Elections. This organization, headed this year by Natalie Kahan as chairman and Judy In- gram as secretary. is responsible for the holding of all school elections. These include all elections pertaining to C.0. oflicers and G.O. and Service League representatives. Perhaps the most popular election of this year was the one that determined the Ml: and Miss Rhythm of the Rockin Rollw dance. Of special interest to seniors is the fact that the Board of Elections holds the election of senior oflicers. 14 The Service League, under the direction of Mrs. llickerton. is an organization composed of those students who render voluntary school service and who handle the service record cards. All students in each section elect a representative to the Service League Council. The Service League Council in turn elects the oflicers of the Service League. This year they are: President. Seymour Mauskopf: Vice-presi- dent. Judy lngramg Secretary, Barbara Ply: C.0. Council Representative, Eleanor Anderson: Student Tribunal Representative. Faith Brofman. At Council meetings any important issues concerning the Service League are discussed and voted upon. The Service Leagueis principal function is to handle the service record cards. on which credit for all school service is entered. These cards are dis- tributed once a term to the students for the collec- tion of service credit. Three awards are offered for various amounts of service credit. Each council representative is responsible for the distribution and collection of the service cards in his section. The Service League is thus one of the school's most im- portant organizations.

Edelman The Silver-Blue party has been in existence since our second term in Flushing High School. It was formed to succeed the dying Red, White and Blue party and it is still growing. There are about two hundred active students in the party and there are many opportunities for them to participate in the work. There is a skit committee, a poster committee, a publicity com- mittee, a platform committee, and a booster com- mittee, each under the direction of a chairman. Finally, the chairman of the Silver-Blue party co- ordinates all these activities into the large show seen by F.H.S. during rally week. The rallies are presented with a main theme which last term was a quiz program combining What,s My Line?,' and Masquerade Party. Over its relatively short time in existence, eight candidates for the various political ofiices have tri- umphed at the polls. In the Fall of 1954, Bob Cook, one of our outstanding seniors. was elected vice- president. Left to Right: First Row: A. Stern, A. Adler, N. Kidd, J. Kahan, Mr. Goldberg, M. Anderson, J. Arkin, J.

Greendonner One of the most popular of all organizations with seniors is the Senior Council. This group, made up of representatives from each senior section, meets, on the average, twice a week to plan senior activities and festivities. With the aid of Mrs. Phalen, topics such as senior dues, the wearing of caps and gowns at graduation, the date and location of the prom, and other interests are discussed. Most of them are then voted upon by the senior sections.

'llhe main governing body of Flushing High Schoolls student body is the 0.0. Assembly. This organization is composed of a representative from each section. 'llllf' 0.0. Assembly has a number of important functions. lt discusses and votes on all important resolutions submitted to it or brought up during meetings. lt also has the job of appropriating money to all activities and subsidiary groups of the C.0. It has the power to change or even scrap the con- stitutions of the various subsidiary organizations. Two members of the 0.0. Assembly are elected by that body to the Student Tribunal. jeffrey Steinfeld and Helen Driscoll were the successful candidates for the Fall term. loc Kicrnan and Linda Destefanis represented the 0.0. Assembly for the Spring term. 0ne of the year's most vital issues, the contro- versy over whether oflicers of the school's organiza- tions should hold oflice for a year or for a term. as they have done in the past. was discussed by the 0.0. Assembly last term in a meeting that included representatives from all school organizations. Many provocative opinions were expressed by both sides, but no vote was taken. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the C.0. Assembly's decision on this matter. Biology Lab Squad Left fo Right: First Row: J. Kahan, M. Slutzky, Miss Binge-r, T. Semon, K. Kaletchitz Second Row: J.

Kiernan The Biology Lab Squad is a vital service organ of the school. Its members assist Miss Binger, the Biology Lab Assistant, in distributing to all the teachers of biology the materials which make classes so much more interesting. Anyone who has ever taken a course in General Science or Biology has benefited from the diligent work of the mem- bers of this squad. We are grateful to them for their service and hope they will continue to be as indus- trious in the years to come. 15 s s Q s
