prepares us for life adjustment An employer values a man or woman to whom he can give a job and then forget it, knowing that it will be done well. In life, responsibility is not only a challenge: it is an absolute in- gredient for success. In school each adolescent shoulders responsi- bility in different ways. Although some may cringe at the thought of homework, class as- signments, as a rule, are shirked by only a small percentage of our school's teen-agers. As Stu- dent Council representatives, responsible stu- dents from all grades take part in school gov- ernment and help run our school as efficiently as possible. Also, who can overlook the fact that our assembly programs are planned and run almost entirely by students? I he financial end of many school projects are handled by student business managers. More than $20,000 passes through the hands of L-A's student money handlers: treasurers of clubs, associations, classes; and publications' business manager. Cashiers in the cafeteria, at the “milk bar,” or behind the School Store counter also claim their share of financial contributions. With the guidance of an experienced staff of teachers and advisers, our students learn to face life problems instead of running away from them. Confronted daily with new challenges, they' are developing into more trustworthy, independent, and imaginative jx;rsonalities. Inspecting the new club charter are I). Connor, . . Rosenbaum. S.

LAHIAN received the All-American Award for its fifteenth year and snared the coveted Columbia Medalist Award for its eleventh. It also earned a first place rat- ing from the Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Association.
