Under the leadership of Mr. Norman Sherman, our new faculty advisor, whom we would like to thank for a fine job, WGC inaugurated many changes this year. Instead of the old organizational structure of one small writing staff turning out the script each week, we had three head writer-announcers and three writ¬ ing staffs. This served a twofold purpose: first, it gave more students a chance to participate in the produc¬ tion of the show; secondly, it lessened the amount of rushing that had to be done, because each staff had three weeks to write and produce a program. This system resulted in better quality shows. We brightened Monday back-to-school feelings with a brand new feature this year, a serial drama¬ tizing the adventures and misadventures of the aver¬ age Girardian, Harvey Hummer.” Harvey’s adventures were always good for a laugh. We also kept the best of the old features, such as the traditional Christmas poem and the Room and Joke of the Week. We presented editorials on issues pertaining both to Girard and to the out¬ side world, reflecting the Girardian view of issues of common interest. Our three staff heads were James Verna, Martin Keeley, and Randy Bujcs, all of whom are to be commended on a fine job of producing the shows. A show is made or broken by the announcers, however, and we had more shows made than broken by our announcing staff. Our announcers were Potter, Clayton, Verna, Martin, Fizel, Olivo, Dundon, Powell, Ross, Hep¬ perly, Schueck, Keeley, Maleno, Daubaras, Bujcs, Stranzl, Bonanzino, and Linton. We also had many other contributing writers and announcers, too numerous to mention here. -! 13 1“

Garabedian The National Honor Society is an organization for young men and women in senior high school who excel to a high degree in Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. You may rest assured that the Girard College Honor Society maintains these standards at a high level. The boys who have been elected to the honor society at Girard have a reputation of such high status that every underclassmen should look up to them. The Girard Honor Society boys are exceptional from the way they lead the students to the way they lead the school in scholar¬ ship. At Girard, service to the school is the major role in the Society’s life. This past year tours of the campus were given to such clubs as the Kiwanis, with honor society boys serving as guides. These same boys also worked as waiters for luncheons given in Founder’s Hall and the D S. The beginning of the senior year saw the boys devoting their free Friday evenings to supervi¬ sion of a study hall in order that boys who made the honor roll and who go home early Saturday mornings instead of going to study, would have a chance to keep up their weekend school work. The National Honor Society student is not an average student; he is the student who goes all out in everything he does, from the sports field to the classroom. Not everyone can be a member of the National Honor Society, although membership should be the goal for every senior high school student. In making this society your ultimate goal in your final two years of high school, you will probably better your school, ycur class, and certainly yourself. The officers this past year have been Stephen Bonitatibus, President; Anthony Bononzino, Vice President; Anthony Tangi, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Albert Schoell served the Society ably as its Faculty Sponsor. -I 12 ]

Love, J. Maleno, W. Powell, L. Martin, J. Ferry The purpose of the English Honors Club has been to give Senior English students a chance to learn more about English literature and ultimately progress those students in finding a reality in what they have read. Mr. Patrick Brown has been fulfilling the pur¬ pose of this club with enthusiasm. He has given to us tremendous knowledge about the plays we have read which awards us, as new readers of many of these plays, an understanding far greater than we could have developed. Prometheus Bound” by Aeschylus, Oedipus the King” by Sophocles, King Lear” by Shakespeare, Ghosts” by Ibsen, and Miss Julie” by Strindberg are ony a few of the plays we have read and analyzed. Our in-depth discussions have revealed to us much of the reality which is present in our world, such as hate, sex, hypocrisy, cruelty, and kindness. This year’s English Honors Club has pro ed a definite success in its quest to develop intellectually thinking students. One reason for this lies in the fact we have had a faculty sponsor dedicated to giving students a chance to develop their thinking abilities in reading; but more important, our faculty sponsor contributed his own time in making Senior English students a little more involved in literature. We appreciatively thank Mr. Brown for all his support and guidance throughout this year’s program of the English Honors Club. It is the hope of the present members of the English Honors Club that Mr. Brown will con¬ tinue next year this greatly needed English Club he has instituted; for it offers to those stu¬ dents who participate in the club a sense of individuality in thinking and ultimately promotes them to seek greater intellectual pursuit because of the new knowledge they have acquired in the English Honors Club.
