our good Government! Mr. Crowther was principal of Grove City High School when many of our parents were here, and the ideals of education which aided them are still flourishing today to guide us. But the mere fact that he is such a good sport about the kidding in- spired by his receding hair-line is proof enough that the ideals of edu- cation are not the only ones that thrive under him. In some way or another, usually illustrated by a funny story, he gives us, in his chapel talks, other stars to hitch our Wagons to - - - the star of good sportsmanship, the star of respect for the other fellow, and the glittering constellation of self-control. Through the Student Council. we voice our hopes, needs, wants, and wishes, through the Student Council, our school life is made continually more plea- sant and more profitable. These industrious boys and girls per- form their numerous tasks faith- fully - - - sometimes they plan chapel programs, they take part in hall dutyg they are respon- sible for the good appearance of the corridorsg they discuss and try to remedy all our problems. As one very busy member says, We do everything! Mr. Crowther is their advisorg Welsh, presidentg and Dave Doris Perrine, secretary.

Trying to correlate the school and community is the difficult task for Dr. H. W. Traisber, superintendent, and one which he performs amply well. Ever keeping our welfare in mind, he is on the job from 8 o'clock in the morning until after 5 o'clock in the evening. The fact that he is interested in what We do even after we leave G. C. H. S., and that he is eager to help the grads proves that, with him, the main purpose is to see that we get the breaks - - - And he has shown that no task is too great or too small, so long as it will help prepare us for well-rounded lives. To these people we owe The first Monday night of every month the Board of Edu- cation meets to discuss the many problems that confront every school - - - the problems of appropriations and curricula, of the care of building and grounds, of taxes and school books. In general, their job is to see that Grove City schools main- tain their high standing among the schools of Pennsylvania - - - a job which we students of Grove City High School believe well done. They are Mr. F. H. Elliott. president, Mr. H. L. Brown, Dr. W. J. Campbell, Dr. W. F. Ross- man, Mr. A. M. Winder, Mr. V. H. Fleck, Dr. B. A. Montgom- ery, Mr. N. S. Crill, and Dr. H. W.

Yes, you just want to get out of your seat and start marching down the hall when you hear our band playing. The clear voice of the clarinets, the roll of the durms, the thrill that ushers in the cornets- - - they're all -there. It's that make you want to march music of the G. C. H. S. band. T We can well be proud of our band wherever they might play. We know that they can march, too, for we saw them forming letters on the football field last fall, adding that extra touch which sets off the game. They not only entertain those in the stands, but also pep up the players out on the field. And not only do they march and play like a good band, they even look like a good band. With those trim black coats and white trousers or skirts, set off by the sparkling instruments and the all-white uniforms of the majorettes, they look the best. When this band goes to the contest you can be sure that they will make old G. C. H. S. shine.
