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.

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.

ORCHESTRA The Orchestra at Harrlton was one of the activities which contributed to the excellent reputation of the school. It was given as a subject five times a week. The students had the opportunity of performing several times during the year in such functions as the Harriton Christmas Concert, the Annual Spring Concert, and various exchange programs with other schools. The String Orchestra, a chamber group, was composed of the string section of the Symphony Orchestra. This aggregation performed at dinners, luncheons, and meetings. The experience of participating in such an organization helped the students to perfect their potentialities and to broaden their taste to include the finest in music. Individual and small group performances were given by the better musicians throughout the year. There was a soloist at each concert given by the Orchestra, and sometimes a duet or trio was inserted in the program. Every student was offered the opportunity of competing for a position in the South Eastern District Orchestra. This organization was composed of students from high schools throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania. Harriton students took an active part in the competition and many of them were successful. The music played included compositions from both the classical and the con- temporary periods. With this variety, the students gained a broad concept and appreciation of the music of the world. BAND The Band, a popular and versatile group, also sponsored by Mr. Freeh, was seen this year at such varied functions as football games, basketball rallies, and formal concerts. During the first few months of school, the Band was a military organization which drilled daily to develop precision and discipline in marching. For the remainder of the year, it became a concert band, emphasizing the better selections of available music, in order to improve individual technique and ability. Like the Orchestra, the Concert Band met five times a week but unlike the Orchestra, accepted boys only. It performed in the Annual Spring Concert and In exchange programs with other schools. Membership in the Southeastern District Band was open to anyone who was successful in the competition. Several Harriton boys were part of the group this year.
