FRESHMAN NIGHT BRINGS 200 PARENTS TO SCHOOL SPRING VALLEY, ILL., NOV. 9-The 1-Try Club's biggest event this year was sponsoring Freshman Night. The members of the 1-Try Club have three points set up as their goal—Service, Self-Improvement, and Scholarship. This year the club sponsored Freshman Parent Night as its service to the school. The evening commenced with the freshmen showing their parents around the school buildings. A program was then held in the new au- ditorium with 1-Try President, Ed Ziel, in charge. During the program Mr. C. A. Sharpe and Mr. C. Keyser gave short talks on the important phases of school life. Miss Eileen Connolly, club sponsor, presented freshman members active in school affairs. Later, a social time for parents, students, and faculty members was held in the study hall. Committees and sponsor worked hard to make Freshman Parent Night a successful event. Page 14 Seniors work hard on the Illinois Tests. ILLINOIS TESTING PROGRAM AN AID TO STUDENTS SPRING VALLEY, OCT. 29—The juniors spent the day in the study hall taking tests which are presented by the University of Illinois. The seniors took the same tests on October 26. The purpose of these tests is to determine the general ability of the students so that they thmselves and their parents are better able to make decisions as to future education. The tests of the non-language and language materials give the school an indication of the students' general academic ability for continuing their education. These records serve as a guide to those students who enter the University of Illinois and other colleges. Miss Edna M. Thompson and Miss Noralyn Baily assisted Mr. C. A. Sharpe in administering the tests. Juniors begin to work again after a period of rest.

BOARD GUIDES PROGRESS, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT The interests, enthusiasm, and efforts of our Board of Education continues to bring about growth, development and progress for the youth attending Hall Township High and Vocational School. Mrs. Joan Halm, our secretary, who knows and works efficiently with every teacher and student in the system, is the key to our smoothly-functioning school. Page 18 Mrs. Joan Halm, Secretary PRINCIPAL PROMOTES HIGH STANDARDS A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS As members of this year's graduating class you are about to “close the book as far as your high school education is concerned. Each of you has grown during your high school days to different levels of physical development; likewise each has grown by knowledge gained during the past four years to different levels of intellectual development. Your educational cup has been filled directly proportional to the efforts and energy put forth in your desire to attain knowledge. The question you now ask yourself is, Did I make the most of my high school days in order to succeed in the endeavors I need to undertake? If the answer is Yes , then you feel more assured of the future and can meet life's problems better. If the answer is No , then you will need to make the most of every opportunity. It will be necessary for you to equip yourself further in order to face life's competition and thereby become assured that you can meet the future to the best of your ability. C. A. SHARPE, Principal. C. A. SHARPE, Principal ASSISTANT UNDERSTANDS STUDENT PROBLEMS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Hall High students need to dream and converse; but as exemplified by the struggling defeated few, this should not be a non-intermittent policy. Hall High offers unlimited parcels of knowledge and so extensive that no single pupil can hope to acquire all. Why do some accomplish so much and some so little? It seems that the basic answer to this important question rests with the student; with his ability to select and master each set of facts each day. This can be done best by efficient concentration and hard work without interference or interruption in the assigned study periods. The variation in W Cn the application of this last formula, M = ——— eventually will give you those who can and those who can't. CHARLES KEYSER, Assistant Principal.

As freshmen we were a bit hesitant and inexperienced. We were like little sight-seers; everything was new and different. Would we make good? The answer meant much to us. Our officers for 1951-52 were Rich May, President; Pete McLean, Vice-President; Jim Curley, Treasurer; and Sally Norris, Secretary. Miss Eileen Connolly was our class sponsor. When we were sophomores, we were better acquainted with the routine, teachers, and school as a whole. During our sophomore year we began to participate in various clubs and activities. Sponsoring the Sadie Hawkins Dance was our most important event this year. We elected Rich May, President; Rich Centner, Vice-President; Joanne Greener, Treasurer; and Sharon Buffo, Secretary. Mr. Vincent Urbanek was our class sponsor. As juniors we became very active in extra- curricular activities. How important we felt as upper-classmen! Among our main events this year were the Junior-Senior Prom, Come Rain or Shine, the junior class play, and the sponsoring of a senior farewell hop. This year we also began to work on the HALL TIMES and the HALL LIGHT. Our officers were Ed Ziel, President; Rich Salmon, Vice-President; Mary Jane Magnani, Treasurer; and Mary Theresa Grivetti, Secretary. As juniors, we had Mr. John Roach as our class sponsor. This year as seniors we became leaders and scholars. A great many of our classmates took part in clubs and organizations, music, athletics, dramatics, and publications. Our senior play, Gramercy Ghost proved to be a big success. Our officers for this year were Lynn Filippini, President; George Pistona, Vice-President; Janet Panizzi, Secretary; and Ray Sebastian, Treasurer. Our class sponsor was Miss Edna M. Thompson. Now, with our accomplishments made at Hall High, we are ready to prove our worth to our parents, teachers, and friends.

Girls may join G. A. A. as a freshman by participating in athletic activities and by earning a minimum of twenty-five points. State awards are given for such activities as basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, and bowling. With the cooperation of G. A. A. members, activities such as hikes, weiner roasts, several play days, a hop, and the annual Mother-Daughter Night were made successful. The Christmas dance, Silver Bells, was the main event sponsored by the club this year. G. A. A. OFFICERS AND SPONSOR Sally Norris, President; June Pomatto, Vice-President; Miss Shirley Donnelly, Sponsor; Mary Therese Grivetti, Point Secretary, Connie Piano, Secretary. Representing the G. A. A. at Conference Point Camp in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, were June Pomatto and Sally Norris. Miss Shirley Donnelly is our G. A. A. sponsor. Initiation Day! Freshmen girls scour the walls in the girls' locker room. A class in life-saving practices new method. Tumbling is another form of P. E. fun. CHEERLEADERS Both varsity and frosh-soph cheerleaders, coached by Miss Shirley Donnelly, were selected at a special election by the student body. They lead our students at pep sessions and at football and basketball games. Their fine sportsmanship and leadership are an asset to Hall High. FROSH-SOPH CHEERLEADERS: Virginia Bruda, Mary Ellen Manning, Janice Weissenburger, Captain. G. A. A. girls bowled every Monday and Thursday nights after school at the Spring Valley Bowling Alley. A number of girls showed outstanding promise. SEASON'S RECORD Coach Nesti and Assistant John Roach, discuss important strategy with Co-Captains Dick Beecham and Bill Prokup. Hall 6 Normal Opponent 0 0 Mendota 26 0 DeKalb 26 13 Princeton 33 0 Ottawa 26 12 Dixon 7 7 Sterling 40 0 Ottawa-Marquette 24 13 St. Bede 13 RED DEVILS SHOW FIGHTING SPIRIT You can't win 'em all! This time-worn cliche is especially appropriate after this past season. After the many winning teams in the past, with which Coach Richard Nesti has built up a brilliant reputation, the team this year had a rather poor season, despite the supreme efforts and hard work of the team and coaching staff. And a losing team amongst many winning ones might be a good lesson in the long run, since losing is part of the game, too. The football banquet was held on November 16 in the old auditorium for all football players, coaches, cheerleaders and their sponsor. The F. H. A. prepared and served the meal. ROW ONE: Jim Shaw, Bill Yanish, Ron Price, Manford Kirby, Ray Sebastian, Russ Martinkus, Joe Riva, Ron Barto, Gerald Flaherty. ROW TWO: Jim Ziegler, Lynn Filippini, Bob Canova, Mike Grivetti, John Camarlo, Ray Sandrolini, Richard Mautino, Roger Rheeling, John Stephanitis, Charles Mercier. ROW THREE: Coach Nesti, Mike Ray, Terry Rave, Al Fusinatto, Ted Bochnik, Wayne Booker, Gerald Sweezey, Tom Schweickert, Bob Pozzi, Pat Donovan, Dick Beecham, Bill Prokup, Assistant John Roach. Beecham scores for Hall in Dixon game. VARSITY GAMES EXCITING HALL 6—NORMAL 0 The Hall Redmen successfully opened their 1954 campaign by defeating the Normal Ironmen, 6-0, at Normal. Hall scored the game's only touchdown on a 57-yard march, with Co-Captain Dick Beecham crashing over from the 10-yard stripe. The extra point attempt was no good. Late in the last period Normal made its only scoring threat and drove down to Hall's 12-inch line. HALL O-MENDOTA 26 The Red Devils lost their first game of the season against the big and rough Mendota Trojans, 26-0, at Mendota, September 24. The Redmen, in the first period, once drove down to the Mendota 8-yard line, but a fumble gave the ball to the Trojans, and from that point on they were in charge of the game. The biggest nemisis to Hall was Ray Jauch, who scored 3 touchdowns, one on a 64-yard run with an intercepted pass. HALL 0—DEKALB 26 The DeKalb Barbs, with Ken Miller leading the way, defeated Coach Nesti's men at DeKalb, October 1, by a score of 26-0. Miller scored all the T. D.'s for the Barbs in a brilliant exhibition. The Redmen never seriously threatened, and Hall's only bright spot was Bill Prokup, their great center, who time after time broke through to nail the Barb ball-carriers in the backfield. HALL 13—PRINCETON 33 The Princeton Tigers' long runs subdued the Hall Redmen by a score of 33-13 at Princeton, October 8.The Red Devils actually outgained Princeton, 259 yards to 231, but Lewis Flinn's long runs simply outdistanced Hall. Hall's scores were also produced on long runs. Al Fusiinatto took the second half kickoff, and with good blocking, went 75 yards to the tally. Dick Beecham's try for the extra point was partially blocked. Late in the fourth quarter, Wayne Booker took the ball from scrimmage, broke through the line, and outraced the secondary to go 74 yards to the goal line. This time Beecham's kick was good. HALL 0-OTTAWA 26 On the wet, cold night of Hall's Homecoming, Ottawa reversed its last year's homecoming defeat by convincingly defeating the Redmen with the third 26-0 score in five games. Trailing by only 7-0 at the half, the Red Devils faded in the second half as a result of two long plays going for touchdowns, and the Pirates added a clincher in the last few minutes. HALL 12—DIXON 7 The Hall Red Devils assured themselves a position other than the cellar in N. C. play, October 22, by virtue of 12-7 win over the Dixon Dukes. Hall opened the scoring in the first period on an 88-yard march, with the key play being a 46-yard pass play from Beecham to Terry Rave. Beecham drove in for the tally from the three, but failed in his P. A. T. attempt. Dixon retaliated with a march of their own, with Perry scoring from 5-yards out, and the placement was good, leaving Hall in arrears 7-6, at the half. Late in the fourth quarter Hall scored the clincher on another long march, capped by Beecham's pass to Lynn Filippini for the score. HALL 7-STERLING 40 Leading the vaunted Sterling Warriors for 25 minutes, the Red Devils threw a king-sized scare into the N. C. champions, before a series of bad breaks, along with Sterling's overpowering physical odds, opened the flood gates for Coach Nesti's men. Hall scored first on a pass from Beecham to Mercier, and Dick also booted the extra point. At the end of the half. Hall was still holding on to a 7-6 lead. Finally, from late in the third to the end of the game. Sterling showed why it was champion with the benefit of breaks. HALL 0—MARQUETTE 24 Holding the Crusaders to a 6-0 score at halftime. Hall collapsed in the second half and lost 24-0. The second half was all Ottawa. The last score of the game came on a long drive. HALL 13—ST. BEDE 13 In the last game of the season Hall and St. Bede battled to a 13-13 tie, on November 12. Hall led at the half but St. Bede came back after intermission to tie the game. The first time Hall had the ball they scored on a long drive, with a pass to Booker, putting the ball on the one, where Beecham went over. Barto drop-kicked the point. In the second period. Hall had a first down deep in the Bedan territory, and Beecham passed to Mautino for the score. Barto's conversion failed. A blocked punt set up St. Bede's score, with Link finally scoring. The P. A. T. failed and Hall held its 7 point lead until late in the last period, when a Bedan recovered Kirby's fumbled punt on Hall's 32. They carried to the goal, and made the extra point on a line plunge, to end the scoring. Page 45 ROW ONE: Roger Rheeling, Charles Mercier, Joe Riva, Raymond Sebastian, Russell Martinkus, Ronald Bar to. ROW TWO: James Shaw, Lynn Filippini, Pat Donovan, Wayne Booker, Robert Pozzi, Terry Rave. RED DEVILS OF 1954-1955 ROGER RHEELING, Senior Halfback, 163 lbs., 5' 7 Monk'' held down one of the halfback spots on the varsity. Small, yet good on offense, he should be good material for some small college. CHARLES MERCIER, Senior End, 160 lbs., 5' 11 Duck did a good job at end, playing best on defense. He played his best in the St. Bede game. JOE RIVA, Senior Reserve Halfback and Fullback 160 lbs., 5' 7 Smuts didn't see much action, but when he was given the call to duty, he fought hard and well for hte Red Devils. RAYMOND SEBASTIAN, Senior Quarterback, 135 lbs., 5' 5 Kid Drawers , the smallest man on the Red Devil squad, was a hard fighter. Ray did a very good job at quarterback all season. Bill Prokup BILL PROKUP, Co-Captain Senior Center, Fullback 5' 11 Bill's outstanding play, and his ability as a line backer were instrumental in his being selected on the All-Conference First Team and on the Honorable Mention of the All-State squad. Congenial Prokup should make good college material. RUSSELL MARTINKUS, Senior Roserve Halfback, 136 lbs., 5' 6 As a reserve, Droopy Drawers did not see too much action. He played mostly on defense and tackled well. RONALD BARTO, Senior Halfback, 132 lbs., 5' 6 Herk saw football action for the first time this year. Our extra-point specialist didn't play in many games, but we shall remember that he drop-kicked the extra point to tie the St. Bede game. JAMES SHAW, Senior Reserve End, 145 lbs., 5' 8 As a reserve end and utility man, Hawk gave his all for the Red Devils. Jim attended every practice, and he was a hard worker. LYNN FILIPPINI, Senior End, 150 lbs., 5' 10 Sad Eyes played hard and well all season. His outstanding work was as an offensive end. PATRICK DONOVAN, Senior Center and Guard, 195 lbs., 5' 11 Punchy played god ball at center, guard, and as an occasional tackle, when he had the chance to play. Injured in the Hall-Ottawa Marquette game, he was out for the season. WAYNE BOOKER, Junior Halfback, Fullback, 173 lbs., 5' 11 Wayne was the fastest man and leading ground gainer with a 5.69 yard average. He was best in the Princeton game. Wayne should be tops next year. ROBERT POZZI, Junior Tackle, 197 lbs, 5' 11 .Bob played first string all season. He was hard to move in the forward wall. We expect great things from him next year. TERRY RAVE, Junior End, 155 lbs., 5' 11 One of the Red Devils' outstanding ends this year, Terry was an excellent blocker, and opponents found it hard to get around his end on defense. He should be great next year. ROW ONE: Ray Sandrolini, John Camarlo, Gerald Sweezey, Bob Canova, Tom Schweickert, Rich Mautino. ROW TWO: Pete DeBernardi, Manford Kirby, Ray Muzzarelli, Mike Grivetti, Mike Ray, Gerald Flaherty. WORK HARD FOR THE TEAM RAY SANDROLINI, Junior Guard, 155 lbs., 5' 5 Ray formed half of a guard combination with John Camarlo. This watch-charm guard's specialties are his low, hard tackles and his shattering body blocks. He also played well as defensive halfback. We expect great things from him next season. JOHN CAMARLO, Junior Guard, 155 lbs., 5' 8 Although Goose is not too big, he packed plenty of trouble for the opposition. He also did a good job as defensive halfback. He should be a main-stay next year, if he is eligible. GERALD SWEEZEY, Sophomore Tackle, 250 lbs., 5' 10 Sweezey, the biggest man on the team, was the spearhead of the defensive line, and was a hard tackier. He should be terrific in his next two years. BOB CANOVA, Junior Guard, 187 lbs., 5' 8 Peppy played in the line, doing most of his work on defense. Next year he should be outstanding. TOM SCHWEICKERT, Junior Reserve End, 134 lbs., 5' 10 A reserve end, Ozzie showed great ability in that position. We expect great things from Tom next year. RICHARD MAUTINO, Junior End, 175 lbs., 5' 11 Mule played end the last part of the season. A good pass-catcher, he will be an asset to the team next year. PETE DeBERNARDI, Junior Tackle, 185 lbs., 5' 10 Pete, a reserve tackle, was a good worker. Pete could easily be a first-stringer next year. MANFORD KIRBY, Junior Halfback, 150 lbs., 5' 6 Manny played halfback, and saw considerable action on the team. He left school to join the Navy, and the Red Devils will miss an outstanding backfieldman next fall. RAY MUZZARELLI, Junior Halfback and Guard, 148 lbs., 5' 8 Muzzy played reserve halfback and guard and served as the squad's entertainer and tension-breaker. He should be a definite help next year. MIKE GRIVETTI, Junior Guard and Center 165 lbs., 5' 10 Mike reported for every practice and did his job well. He will be back next season and should be outstanding. MIKE RAY, Junior end, 150 lbs. 5' 11 Mike, at reserve end, never missed a practice session. Next year we expect to see considerable action from him. GERALD FLAHERTY, Junior Halfback and end, 150 lbs., 5' 10 Jerry held down both spots as a reserve, showing remarkable ability. He should be first-string material next fall. DICK BEECHAM, Co-Captain, Senior Fullback, Center and Quarterback, 195 lbs., 5' 10 Dick, who could play fullback, center, or quarterback, was used mainly at the fullback spot. He was on the All-Conference Second Team and was on the Honorable Mention of the All State squad. Dick should make good in college sports.

FROSH-SOPH WIN TWO HALL O-MENDOTA 13 Opening the season, the Frosh-Soph were stopped by a shifty Mendota team. Coach Ben's boys were over-confident because of a win over Mendota as freshmen. Mendota scored in the first and third periods, while Hall's closest threat ended on the fifteen yard stripe. FUTURE RED DEVIL STARS—Allen Overton, John Piccatto, Coach Fred Bencriscutto, Jim Sobin, Carlo Sandrolini. HALL 0—DeKALB 14 The Frosh-Soph lost their second game as DeKalb scored in the first and third periods. Hall scored in the fourth period but was called back as a lineman was overly anxious. Overton, Vysocky, and Destri starred on offense. HALL 12—PRINCETON 0 A 71-yard touchdown run by Vysocky and a 22-yard touchdown run by Overton in the third decided the game. The Hall line held like a stone wall. Podobinski and Martinkus both intercepted passes. HALL O-OTTAWA 32 A third defeat was suffered as Ottawa's brilliant offense dominated the game. Hall's only threat ended with a fumble on the 15-yard line. HALL 6—DIXON 13 The Frosh-Soph were stopped by Dixon after holding a 6-0 lead at the half. This score came when Jim Sobin caught a pass and raced to score from the thirty. HALL 0-STERLING 28 The Hall Forsh-Soph were thoroughly beaten by a big Sterling team at Sterling. Hall lost the ball on a fumble on Sterling's 3-yard line. HALL 31 —OTTAWA-MARQUETTE 0 In the final game of the season, the Frosh-Soph scored an easy victory over Ottawa-Marquette. Al Overton was the big offensive gun with three touchdowns. Vysocky and Lusietto also scored. The Hall line was very strong. Page 49 Frosh-Soph Starting Line-up. Freshman Starting Line-up FRESHMEN WIN ONE HALL 0—LA SALLE-PERU 0 The Hall freshmen started their season at home against L-P. It was a hard-fought battle, neither team being able to score. Hall was on defense the greater part of the game. L-P recovered a fumbled punt in the last minutes, but Hall held them until the end. HALL 6—MENDOTA 19 Mendota struck through the air twice and ran another to defeat the Hall freshmen 19-6 under the lights of the Hall gridiron. Hall's only score came in the second quarter when Jim Jablonski returned a punt 70 yards for the touchdown. Later they threatened twice, but were unable to score. HALL O-STREATOR 7 Hall held Streator four times within the two yard line, but they were unable to score and dropped their game 7-0. Jim Jablonski ran 75 yards to the one yard line, but Streator held them on downs. HALL 27—ST. BEDE 0 In their third home game, the Hall Freshmen walloped St. Bede 27 to 0. Besides playing good offensive ball, they were good on defense, never allowing the St. Bede Cubs to cross midfield until the last quarter. Jablonski scored twice on runs of 30 and 45 yards. Ken Baum scored on a quarterback sneak, and Dan Podobinski tallied on a ten yard sprint. Ossola took passes for the three extra points. Everey man on the squad had a chance to play in this game. HALL 12—PRINCETON 26 The Hall High freshmen football squad closed its season at Princeton, suffering a 26 to 12 loss. Hall took the lead 6-9 the first quarter, but trailed 13-6 at the half. Jim Jablonski scored again in the second half to account for both of Hall's touchdowns. Princeton scored twice, making the final score 26-12. Coach Jack Samlin instructs the boys.

VARSITY BASKETBALL PROVIDES THRILLS The Hall Red Devils finished the season with a 4 win—22 loss record after playing a hard schedule of games. Coach Fred Bencriscutto's boys, despite a disadvantage in height, showed good fighting spirit and provided the fans with a number of thrilling exhibitions. Four varsity regulars will be lost through graduation, and the remaining experienced players, two of them sophomores, should form a good nucleus for next year's team. On April 15, a banquet was given at the Dairy Bar by Mrs. Dom Sabatini for the basketball teams, the football teams, the coaches, and the cheerleaders and their sponsor.

Despite his 5' 10 , he seemed always to be on top in the scoring. He led the squad with 378 points for a 141 2 points per game average. His free throw percentage was second best on the squad with one point behind Irv Batten. Rich received tribute in the Morris Holiday Tournament by being chosen on the All-Tournament team. In the holiday tournament he had the best average—20 points per game. IRVING BATTEN Irv, our 5' 11 senior forward was second highest scorer on the varsity with a 242 point record. He was an expert at the jump shot from the side and was one of the most improved players on the team. Irv captured the Bankers Free Throw Award this year. TOM BALLARD Tom saw his first year of action this year as a junior and showed remarkable improvement through the season. A center with 167 points to his credit, Ballard specialized in the left-handed hook shot. Tom is potentially a good basketball player, and he should do some outstanding work next year. RICHARD HAGEN Dick, who played with the frosh team last season, made a fine showing as a varsity player this year. The young sophomore scored 152 points this season with a free throw average of .57. A fine dribbler, Dick helped the team with his outstanding floorwork and passing more than by scoring. Coach Ben has great hopes for this Mighty Mite for next year. BILL PROKUP Bill, a 5' 11 senior center, also played forward. A very hard worker and an excellent rebounder, he was a great help to the team. Bill scored 78 points for the team. PAT DONOVAN Pat, a 5' 11 senior, played forward on the squad. His hard work as a team member and his outstanding rebounding made him a reliable substitute. Pat, one of those conscientious workers who never missed a practice, scored 48 points. PLAYERS GERALD RATAJCZAK One of the youngest boys on the squad, Mooney showed improvement throughout the season. At 5' 11 , he is strong under the boards on offense and defense, and does equally well on his shooting from out. Coach Ben has high hopes for this sophomore next year. RICHARD MAUTINO Scoring 170 points for third place honors, Rich proved his ability as a good set shot and jump shot player. Rich, 5' 11 , is a good rebounder. A junior, we expect a lot from him next year. WAYNE BOOKER Wayne, a 5' 10 junior, was substitute forward this year. A good worker, whose specialties are the hook shot and a two-handed jump shot, Wayne should do outstanding work next year. MIKE GRIVETTI Mike, a junior guard, saw limited action but showed great potentiality on defense and offense. He proved very quick on defense, and Coach Ben hopes to use Mike a great deal next year. Mike scored 23 points this season. RAY SANDROLINI Ray, a junior guard, who did not see too much action this season. He has speed, agility, and a good drive-in shot. We should see a lot of Ray next season. DENNIS CLEARY Dennis, a 5' 6 junior, is another boy who saw limited action as a substitute guard. He has a good two-hand set shot and is very clever both on defense and offense. We hope to see him in action next year. JIM SOBIN Jim was a reserve player brought up to the varsity from the frosh-soph ranks. He saw action with the frosh-soph, scoring 56 points, and he has potentiality which we hope comes out next season in his junior year.

FROSH-SOPH PLAY SPIRITED GAMES Coach Harold Raymond's Frosh-Soph team suffered a winless season due to lack of height and inexperience. The boys had plenty of spirit and tried hard, and many of the games proved exciting. Frank Podobinski led the squad in scoring with 129 points. Jim Jablonski with 12 points was second, and Ronald Bird was third with 84. Freshman Joe Kolupke had 78 for fourth place.

STUDENT COUNCIL HAS SUCCESSFUL YEAR Directing their activities for the general welfare of the students at Hall, the Student Council with Mr. Anton Demichelis as sponsor had a busy year. One of the main activities through the year was sponsoring the special assemblies. President Ed Ziel had charge of these. The different bouquets of flowers in the office were made possible by the Student Council. Members aided the Honorary Activity Club with the clothing drive early in spring. Pencils were sold throughout the year; and during the Christmas season, the organization was responsible for decorating the large Christmas tree in the main hall. The most important activity of the second semester was sponsoring a very successful Student Government day. The student body elected Ed Ziel as principal for the day; Irv Batten, assistant principal; and Mary Therese Grivetti, secretary. Teachers for the classes were selected by the Student Council from a list of juniors and seniors who indicated a desire to teach on that day. Once again the Student Council has completed another year of successful work and are handing down their duties to the new Council of fifty-six. OFFICERS Ed Ziel, President Stanley Kujawa, Vice-President Joan Pistono, Secretary Mr. Anton Demichelis, Sponsor Ed Ziel and Stan Kujawa decorate the Christmas tree. Page 73 I-TRY STRESSES LEADERSHIP, SCHOLARSHIP, SERVICE The 1-Try Club, one of the outstanding organizations at Hall, is composed of a group of students who rank high in scholarship. A student, in order to be a member, must have a B average and nothing less than a C each successive year. At the end of each semester, awards are granted to members for outstanding achievement in scholarship. These awards are divided into three classes: Summa Cum Laude—Straight A in four or more subjects; Cum Laude—four A's and nothing less than a B; Rite—three A's and nothing less than a B. The club meets once each month with class groups providing the programs for members. As a service to the school, members of the 1-Try sponsored a Freshman Parent Night. Two hundred parents were present for the event. Miss Eileen Connolly, sponsor, aided the leaders in maintaining the high standards of this group.

In order to become a member of the Music Club a student must have obtained six points in special musical fields. Old and new members have spent a busy year in club activities. Besides having two MUSIC CLUB formal initiations, the club sponsored a Co-Rec night with Dramatic Arts Club. The purchase of a Hi-Fi phonograph was the club's main project.

YEAR The club's main event was a supper which was held for members and apprentice members at The Maples on March 30. Thirty members attended the supper.
