The student Government As- sociation gave us an opportunity to express our opinions on school af- fairs. Throughout the year we had many assemblies. Among them were the winner of the SOO, The Romance of Words, Pitt-Notre Dame Debate, class assemblies, and a Christmas assembly. I al- ways looked forward to them be- cause they were both entertaining and educational. Through the work of the cafe- teria staff, I was provided with a well-balanced meal daily. An extra- special lunch was prepared on hol- idays. Remember that turkey with all the trimmings! Although most of the custodial work was done quietly behind the scenes, we saw the shining results. Believe it or not, we were all students once. These boys are out to win Come on kids, back your team.

The patience and hard work of the competent custodians helped to keep our school clean and beautiful. I remember spending many hours doing research work in our elegant new library. Book reports, supplementary research projects, and the investigative themes for the seniors made it necessary for most students to make frequent use of the li- brary. Miss Naser, the librar- ian, and her student assistants were always ready to help us find the material we wanted among the numerous books and magazines. Gateway's clubs played a very important part in our school life. They were based mainly on our interests and through them our leadership abilities were developed. A wel- come diversion from study, they gave me a chance to broaden my circle of friends and provided me with many social activities. Some clubs broadened our interests and aided us in the decisions of our future plans. The friendly advisors gave us the spirit and encouragement that made all of our clubs successful. I waited impatiently for the time the swimming pool would be open for full use. This year was the first time the stu- dents participated in swimming classes. How could I ever forget the plays that were presented on our modern stage. Diane Pugsley concentrates on the application of the slide rule.
