THE HOPE OF TOMORROW , 3 K WWW Honor Society, Back Row: Road, Samson, Kelsey, Johndrew, Scheffler. Front Row: P. String- ham, Treasurer, Huhtanen, Vice-President, R. Stringham, President, Ferrell, Secretary. Absent: Jones. The auditorium darkens, the piano sounds a formal march, slowly grey-robed figures procede down the aisle, and another Honor Society tapping ceremony is under way. The scholars of the sopho- more and junior classes are about to be recognized. Working with teachers, helping their class- mates, these students are constantly making their presence felt in the school. Throughout the basket- ball season the Honor Society sells refreshments at home games. Money earned is presented to a de- serving senior as a scholarship. Each spring from the Junior class two boys are chosen to represent our school at Boys' State, and in alternate years a delegate is chosen for Girls' State. While these lucky students are at their conferences, they are intimately acquainted with the workings of our state government. After they return home they long remember the friends they gained and the won- derful things they did. 65 Girls' State delegate Kelsey and Boys' State delegates Road and Stringham discuss experiences over their homework.

LEADERS OF THE Tri-County delegates Johndrew, Stringham, Rood, and Harmon go over an agenda with President Lucas cen- ter seated. SCHOOL TODAY G.C.S. student leadership is well organized. Four representatives of each high school class, plus elected officers and Tri-County members solve the problems which frequently arise in our school.

The Tri-County members are not only partici- pants of the Student Council but members of the interschool Student Council from Tompkins, Seneca and Tioga counties. They alternate meeting places and discuss various topics. This year our school is honored to have the Tri-County President, Joanne Lucas, from our school. Student Council: Standing: R. Heffron, E, Samson, Chamberlain, Scheffler, R. Smith, Updike, Court, Rood, Marsh, Rounseville, Webster, Kratochvil. Seated: Dempsey, A. Heffron, Vice-President Harrington, President R.

Editor Rood, Assistant Editor Stringham, and advisor Mrs. Peters quietly go insane together. l don't know what it does, but you set it before you take a picture, says Photographer Seligman to Assistant Campbell. A closer look at these hard-working individua would reveal the bitten nails of ink-spotted finger and many an enshadowed eye. The hours we long, and the jonitors may not have appreciated a those apple cores, but we had a lot of fun.
