STUDENT COUNCIL Functioning under the guidance of faculty sponsor Mrs. Graham and financial advisor, Mr. Marshall, the Student Council concentrated on promoting a closer contact between the adminis- tration and the student body. The Council was comprised of one elected representative from each homeroom and the chairmen of the various standing committee. These committees focused the responsibilities of the council on seven distinct areas: Assem- blies, Campus Care, Foreign Exchange, Hospitality, Lost and Found, Public Information, and Ways and Means. At the Council ' s bi-weekly meetings, student problems and school projects were presented, either by representatives or by committee chairmen, for group discussion. After carefully survey- ing the problems, the representatives came to decisions by means of a majority vote. The accomplishments of this organization included a vast campus Improvement program, the showing of two feature length films, a Christmas dance, several assemblies, which were both entertaining and educational, and the ratification of the Council ' s Constitution. This member of the National Association of Student Councils was very successful both in its phase of student governme nt and its special function of bringing the student body closer together.

While the art staff worked out a thenne for the yearbook, members of the business staff diligently solicited ads. The literary group first tackled senior write-ups, a task which required much time and concentration. Throughout the entire year, photographers frequently surprised students and faculty by taking pictures at unexpected moments. Once the theme had been presented, a sense of unity was felt among the four groups. Then combined efforts were channelled toward creating an outstanding edition of the AURORA. Deadlines kept staff members busy at school quite late on several occasions. Once or twice a get-together at someone ' s home was in order to bring yearbook work up to date. Yet the work seemed light in comparison with the fun shared, the new friends made, and the satisfaction felt when those pesky deadlines were met successfully. In April those who had worked on the I960 AURORA and several candidates for next year ' s staff played host to representatives from nearly seventy high schools in FiRST POW L, t — , .:■ :-r:v, M.

Nowhere in the school can one find a busier group performing service to both school and community than the Girls ' Service League. Under the guidance and encouragement of their sponsor, Miss Marea Taylor, the girls had a very active, worthwhile year. In school the Girls ' Service League gained recognition through the useful Buzz Books, the platypus sale, and the Crystal Ball Dance. The biggest undertaking of the year, the Hearts n ' Heaven show and dance, strongly wove together the threads of friendliness, co-operativeness, and harmony. Although only a few activities have been mentioned, the girls ' willingness to render service did not stop within the school limits. In the community their assistance to Care, Red Cross, and the Norristown Home for the Crippled exemplified the girls ' eagerness to render service. Membership consisted of thirty junior and senior girls elected in the fall by classmates and faculty, and fifteen senior members chosen the previous year. Each girl contributed her ability and enthusiasm to form the club so aptly named the Girls ' Service League.
