“Art for Our Sake’ HO painted the scenery for the Masque production? Who decorated the Wan for the Christmas Prom and the Harvest Hop? Why, the Art Service Club of course! It is one of the most active organizations in Huntington High and under Mr. Link's expert guidance is ready to help any “deserving person” in distress. The biggest job of the year was the scenery needed for the Masque play. But did that daunt our young Rembrandts? No, certainly not. They gathered their trusty paint brushes and tackled the job. As you all know, they were successful. An active, well-run organization, the Art Service Club welcomes all new members, for they manage very capably to mix hard work with a lot of fun . Service With A Smile HESE are the girls who serve us all. They're kept busy with different q eee all year long. Sponsoring the Thanksgiving program, man- aging the Red Cross and Clothing drives—these are just a few of their many projects. Thursday afternoons are busy ones in 308 with Miss Coleman, the sponsor, and President Joyce Baumer outlining some new work or reporting on business completed. The girls you see sitting at the desk in the main hall during the day are Arista members on hall hostess duty. They assist visitors to the school in finding their way about the building. Every year at the beginning of the fall semester new pledges are accepted for Arista. These girls spend the best part of a year on probation before they become full-fledged members. The girls in those crazy outfits we saw tramping through the halls a few months ago were new pledges suffering their informal initiation, Arista stands for Scholarship, Sportsmanship and Service. Its members carry out all three—with a smile!

Huntingtonian O doubt either you or your friends have been accosted by an individual who has immediately showered you with questions concerning your personal and private lives: “What are your likes, dislikes and outside inter- ests?—Have you held any offices?—Do you belong to any clubs?” One soon discovers that this person is neither a curious schoolmate, nor a representative from the Gallup Poll, but just another Huntingtonian member working on senior writeups. Each Huntingtonian member is chosen and appointed to one of three dif- ferent staffs—literary, business or art, all of which have their own innumer- able tasks to perform. These groups are under the sponsorship of Miss Cash- man, Miss Andrews and Mr. Link, respectively. With Pat Mitchell as editor, the weekly Friday afternoon meetings have buzzed with activity and with suggestions for the forthcoming book. We hope you like it!

The Lowdown Un High Lights ATE afternoon in the library is the time and place for most of the Hunting- ton High's journalistic efforts. The noise of the typewriter keys coupled with the chattering of the staff provides a not altogether too business-like “news-room” atmosphere—Questions fly back and forth—such as— Are we running this feature in the next issue?’’—'’What's the count on this headline?” or—'’ Who wrote the story on the last game?” Despite the fact that the Editor-in- Chief runs a definite risk of turning prematurely gray, Dick rises above his difficulties in grand style. Since its founding only two years ago, High Lights has come far towards becoming a topnotch publication. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Lynch and Mr. Badura and with some helpful pointers obtained at a Syracuse press conference, it has improved greatly and become one of the best school papers in the county. Oit Back... Relax... and Listen HE spotlight gleams on Charlie’s trumpet. . . . Peggy tinkles the piano | ea and the drums keep a soft rhythm in the background... . Magical strains of “Embraceable You” fill the auditorium as Bob steps from the cur- tains and tells us to sit back, relax and listen. . . . The show is on! It is often said that two heads are better than one. The 9 O'clock Club be- lieves that eight heads are even better, so all the emcees (Jane Finley, Joan Ann Caffrey, Betty Fillekes, Celia Pagano, Wally Wells, Tom Schafer, Henry Gutersohn, and Bob Gordon) combined their talents, to present something new in entertainment at Huntington High. Who can ever forget the time “R. L. Simpson's Scandals” brought vaude- ville back to Huntington, with. ‘‘Duchess Mahoney”, Yodeler of the Yukon and Darling of the Klondike, and her Flora-Dora Girls? Who could keep a straight face when Bob “Mighty Mouse” Gordon emceed the ‘’Truth or I’m Sorry’ quiz program?
