• Hi-Y The Girls’ Hi-Y, under the leadership of Miss Cook, has completed another successful year. In fulfillment of its duties, Hi-Yers have been seen all year dashing around serving tea to Freshman girls and their mothers, collecting and distributing Thanksgiving baskets, selling Red Cross Pins at Christmas, taking care of several destitute families, sponsoring an assembly, and hiring buses to take students to away” football games. Of all those who dashed around, President F.lea-nor Buck did the most dashing and behind her trailed the other officers, Treas., B. Decker, Sec., A. Brumbaugh, Vice-President, Betty Dallam. • Student Council The Student Council is an active and vital organization at L.H.S. The officers are elected in the spring previous to the year they are to serve, and in the fall as soon as school is in full swing, each Home Room elects a representative to this body. It is his duty to attend the meetings which are held before school every two weeks and to report the discussion and problems to his Home Room. In this way the entire student body has a finger in the pie.” From the Home Rooms, problems are brought to the light and solved. This year the Student Council has tackled the problem of congested halls, so each morning and HI-Y First row, left to right: |. Rrotsker, F. Lc Blanc, K. Mac Queen, N. Stone, J. Patterson, S.

MUSIC TO A WORTHY CLIMAX • industrial Arts and Home Economics That those at the bottom often rise to the top is certainly true, for in the basement of L.H.S. future engineers and industrialists labor under the direction of Mr. Tammcryn, with an M.E., a B.S. and M.S. in Education from the U. of P. and R.P.I. Assisted by Mr. Hersh, B.S., Millers-ville State Teachers College, Mr. Tammeryn, from the metal and wood shops and drafting and surveying departments, sends out boys who have both the theoretical knowledge and the practical experience necessary for college and industry. Farther down the hall, Miss Stevens. B.S., William Smith College, may be found instructing the girls, and some of the fellows, too, in the delicate art of preparing delicacies. Going upstairs, we find future home-bodies being capably guided by Mrs. Stephens, director of Sewing and Consumer Education for girls. Thus, these departments offer needed practical experience. • Music, Art, Library, Office Through the combined efforts of Miss Davis, Miss Sheafer, and Mr. Corbin, the pursuit of art, reading, and music is undertaken by many of the students. Miss Davis, with a B.S. in Art Education from Penn State, is the spirit behind school art decorations and the stage crew. Our librarian. Miss Sheafer, A.B. from Dickinson and B.L.S. from Columbia, is custodian of our fine and very complete library. Lansdowne’s musical reputation is the result of the tireless effort of Mr. Corbin, director of orchestra, band, and chorus. He has a B.S.M., M.C.M., and an M.M.Ed. from Oberlin College, St. Olaf, and Northwestern Schools of Music. But climaxing and coordinating all, is the office, presided over by Mrs. Woods, secretary to the principal, personal adviser for the entire school, and general manager, without whom the wheels of progress” would barely rotate.

An assembly program is sponsored by this organization, in addition to its principal function of acting as a medium between the administrative and student bodies. • The National Honor Society A high spot in the school year for seventeen Seniors and nine Juniors is election to the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society. In an impressive service those chosen arc welcomed by Dr. Ewan, Mr. Abbott, and the nine black-gowned members who were elected when they were Juniors. Election to the society is based upon the four principles: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. Students, to be elected, must have made outstanding records in their school life in all four of these principles; thus one-sided development is discouraged and well-rounded personalities are encouraged. By character is meant honesty, ambition, industry, and a spirit of democracy. By service is meant unselfish devotion of time and effort in the support of school activities. Leadership means the ability to inspire others to honest living and industry in school activities, while scholarship symbolizes ability to work well and a sincere desire to acquire an education. The Society sponsors the Honors Banquet and the Fathers’ and Sons’ Banquet, and occasionally manages the school’s refreshment stand. 17
