It seeks representation for every Flying L In the Student Council meetings, decisions are made which chart the year's activity. The Council, being our school government, is our link with the govern- ment of the city. Navigator and EBB TIDE, newspaper and year- book, are our publications that portray life at L H. S. to the outsider. These publications display in their pages the Spirit that prevails on campus. Music has long been man's only universal lan- guage. Being outstanding in the state, the Band and Choruses have shown the Spirit of Lauderdale by their long hours of hard practice, trying to per- fect a selection to be presented to the public. They might be called our singing good-will Ambassadors. The Spirit so vital to Fort Lauderdale High School is found at its height in the Organizations.
