Dancing to the music of the Suburbans. U HE Snowflake Ball -This was the theme of the i959 Senior Ball which was held on Friday, January 23, from 8 P.M. to midnight, and was thoroughly enioyed by all who at- tended. As the date approached, the many weeks of planning and preparation and timeless energy expended by all those who helped make the dance a most memorable occasion, became a reality under the sponsorship of the Senior Class Advisors, Mrs. Dendy and Mr. Levin, and the art teachers, Miss Fallis and Mr. Chambers. The Co-Chairmen, Linda Sileo and Marion Straka and their ambitious committee transformed the boys' gym into what truly could be termed a winter wonderland. Music was supplied by the Suburbans who played from a wintery bandstand, as the en- chanted couples danced under a ceiling of fall- ing snowflakes. The climax of the evening was the traditional Coronation of the king and queen which put the finishing touch on a most successful dance. Senior Ball wi fw.t.,,q.c.

Senior Executive Council URING September the Seniors elected repre- sentatives from their history classes to rep- resent them. These representatives are known as the Senior Executive Council. The members of the Senior Executive Council are placed in the same homeroom so their iob will be made easier. Among the many things they are expected to do is make a schedule that all the other seniors are satisfied with. ln this schedule are many special events such as Senior-Frosh Day, Old Clothes Day, followed by Dress-Up Day, at which time seniors receive special privileges. To let all the other seniors know of the events coming up, a member of the council is placed in every Ameri- can history class, which all seniors must attend. ln this way elections can take place and class symbols can be chosen. The members of the council take pride in themselves for doing an outstanding iob in mak- ing the school an enioyable and happier place in which to spend half the day. The officers of the council are: President, John Provost, Vice- President, Pamela Bauer, Secretary, Leslie Dick- enson, Treasurer, Eva Mateus. They are well advised by the Senior Class Advisors Mrs. Dendy, Mr. Lawson, and Mr. Leusch. The most outstanding event of the year is the senior ball. This year's theme was chosen from many different choices by the Senior Executive Council. They chose the theme of The Snowflake Ball in January. All who attended the ball real- ized why they chose this name. The senior class is incomplete without a motto, flower, or color. This year they were chosen by all the senior students in the American history classes. They chose Youth Looks Toward the Future for the motto, the white rose as the flower, and white and gold as the color. By next elections many students will want to become members of this council. Not all can but those who are elected will try to do as good a iob as this year's council did. Left to right, Row If Mr. Levin P. Bauer, T. Carni, B. Honecker, L. Catalano, L. Dickenson, R. Esposito.
