Responsible students tackle STUDENT COUNCIL The teen-agers ol' today are the citizens ol' tomorrow. This truism is ever-present in our dadsi minds, and they realize that we must be well prepared to take over their jobs as vigilant guard- ians of our democratic institutions. Science and math prepare pupils for tomorrow by presenting to them the orderliness ol' world forces and by instilling in them a valuable curi- osity. Scientilic training in chemistry, physics. and biology and comprehension ol' algebra, geom- etry. and trigonometry help us to discard super- stition and prejudice which hamper international and intranational relations. These subjects train the student to keep his mind open and to search all possible solutions ol' a problem. To deal with misunderstanding and intolerance. people should be able to express themselves. Eng- lish classes pave the way for sell'-expression by 'I luf Svllmil .S'Illl'1' rt'flt'r'I.t ily lI.X1llll lvllxifuavs dt K, .'lI!'lltlII mul R. Hullmi uni! on SIIHIVIIIN S.

ciple of our schools health program. Besides the regular gy m classes which each student is obligated to take. many boys and girls participate in sports activities after school. Our school's program of sports is an enviable one and competes favorably with the best in the country. Previous to after school participation. each student is given a physi- cal check-up. Where any deviation is noticed. the youngster is steered away from participation. lf possible. corrective measures are undertaken. so that he will eventually be able to play: This year a large number of students joined in the interscholastic sports program and were awarded accordingly with varsity or minor-award letters. For fall sports. 83 merited varsity' letters. I76 minor awards. Seventyl-six claimed varsity awards for winter sports while l4l were presented with minor awards. At the spring sports assembly. 95 received varsity' Iettersg ninety' captured minor awards. Another important segment of the gym roster is the intramural sports' program. piloted by' Mr. Black. Students who are unable to participate in interscholastic athletics find an invigorating type of fun playing their favorite sport on intramural teams which perform after school. A competitive team system makes the games interesting and exciting. At the end of the year. those students who have amassed a specified number ol' hours in intramural play. are awarded with special medals in the spring sports' assembly: lt'.tIllI,L' vyvt' l'ffil'lt'llt'j'.

man-sized jobs teaching us how to write and speak clearly and persuasively. Throughout high school English students absorb the rules of grammar and the works of numerous authors. Plays help us to im- prove our speech and our ability to make others understand us. History is invaluable because it enables us to use to advantage the wise actions and mistakes of those who have lived before us. After studying the history of Pennsylvania, America, and the en- tire world, we can recognize the tremendous re- sponsibility involved in doing one's part as a cit- izen. Dad knows that a good education will im- prove our capacity to shoulder the burden of running the world. Knowledge of languages breaks down a barrier between nations. Study of French, Latin, and Spanish not only prepares us for amicable inter- Sl1l'l'unlizlr'4l Ivy the l'Al't'l'IlllIll'.Y lfrmmlulinn Ill-Xflllly. B. Nnrinu, F. Clllllfllllllll. C.
