It pleasantly amusing to recall the occasion when we were first herded together by Miss McGhee on the spac¬ ious marble floor of Founder’s Hall as awkward sophomores to meet Mr. Keenan, our dance instructor. His warm per¬ sonality put us at ease and his dancing skills astonished us. Under his firm and enthusiastic teaching we became reason¬ ably graceful and proficient at the Charleston, the box step, the Calypso, and the other steps. Finally, we were pre¬ sented” and exhibited our skills at our first social affair, the Sophomore Coke Party. Since then we have become increasingly assured and mature in Hum social life. We are grateful to our hosts and hostesses Miss Juliet E. Stacks, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony M. Stys, and Dr. James D. White, for their help in making all this possible. We particularly thank Miss Miriam McGhee for the time and energy which she has devoted to making our extra” social occasions a source of good pleasure. In the kind of world where social graces are as essential to eventual success as the skills and hard work we have had, we have been fortunate to have benefited from the advice and teaching of Miss McGhee. We shall learn that she has successfully taught the Girardian to be a gen¬ tleman. i 22 y

Wagner was the sponsor in that first year 1961 and Mr. John Trimble is the sponsor of 1965-1966. Both men have seen their protegees make outstanding contributions to the organization. It offers a realistic and unique opportunity for students to hear national leaders discuss the problems of Vietnam, NATO, Foreign affairs, in brief the struggles and affairs in our world today. It is a project of the represenatives’ study here in Girard into the international arena. Members regularly attend the monthly meetings. Thomas Bennett served very capably on the Steering Committee. Morris Goldberg was a table discussion leader. Thomas Stocker, Douglas Burleigh, Allen Fisher, Jeffrey Scholl, David Arinsberg, Philip Dempsey, Lester Smiejan, and Edward Zink served as delegates to the Model U.N. General As¬ sembly. David Semple and Thomas Stocker attended the press conference with the top ABC News Correspondents. The Girard representatives are grateful to Mr. Trimble for his effective sponsor¬ ship of this worthwhile activity. In a world in which allegiances change overnight, where the names of new coun¬ tries are unknown to many, the World Affairs Council serves the purpose of lead- in our students to a better understanding of world citizenship. «{21 y

To institute the modernization of the facilities new counters were purchased. In the past there had been a kind of work-it-out policy with no changes made during the year. This was abruptly shattered when Manager Morris Goldberg implemented a Midyear reorganization which he felt to be necessary for greater efficiency. Of course, Founder’s Day and the two Mothers’ Days were high spots in the Center’s year. But it is the day-to-day student buying—ice cream, candy, soda and cookies, which makes the store worthwhile. The operation of the Center is one of the most responsible and demanding activities in Girard. The hours of work are seldom known and the recognition given is far less than the work contributed. The profits also have more meaning to the student body than the students generally realize. The expenses of the dances held during the year and particularly the Canteen dances are paid for by the Center. The Class of 1966 is grateful to Mr. George Dunkle who for many years has contributed his energy and time to make the Hummers’ lives a bit pleasanter through the Student Center offerings. Recently ahtletic and science equipment has been under¬ written by the store. Of course a percentage of the profits goes back into equipment and furnishings for the Center. Finally, students benefit by earning money monthly. i 23 J.
