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.

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

Without the contribution of the members of the Photography Club in time, energy, and the resulting production, there would be no Corinthian, and the News would be much less inter¬ esting. Their work has been invaluable, and certainly in rhe years to come these pictures will bring the Hum and our classmates clear in our minds. Our yearbook in almost unique in the fact that the writing, the photogaphy, the layout, and the printing are all done by yearbook staff members within the College. Certainly this is an accomplishment of which we can all be proud. The photography is, of course, no small part of this. The officers of the Club were: President, Thomas Stocker; Vice-President, Thomas Davies; Secretary Treasurer, James Gallagher. They developed a well organized activity and a new spirit of accomplishment which improved the reader’s interest in our publications. They have earned our praises. The Club, on behalf of the Class of ’66, sincerely thanks Mr. Perley Pease for the time and work he so generously gave to the members. His expert advice on many phases of photography has stimulated the work of this organization. This is an activity which becomes an increasing benefit to the members sand which will probably be carried ton through life. Shutterbugs are everywhere;at tevery age and the present Club members will always be among them.
