GIRLS' TRACK It is becoming a tradition for the Leetsdale girls' track teams to bring home more ribbons than the boys from the annual Allegheny County Meet. At the time o the printing of this yearbook this year's records were not available The group pictured above consists of the Junior and senior high girls who entered last year and trained for participation this year. Miss Marjorie Smiley has coached the team. BOYS' TRACK This is the first year that Leetsdale has attempted to produce a complete track team. The previous teams have never failed to bring back a portion of the ribbons, but with a complete team it is hoped this share of ribbons will increase. Mr. Waugaman and Mr. Gutow- ski have trained the boys. Because of the early publication of this book, the results of the County Track Meet could not be published. ' -

OFFICERS President ------------- Mary Jane Solito Vice President ------------- Joseph Bena Secretary -------------- Catherine Kelly Sponsor -------------- Mr. Alfred Cree se The Senior Council is the student representative group, elected by senior high school members. It acts in the capacity of a legislative body and gives the students some ex- pression in the life of the school. Through the student council,innovations or adverse conditions may be brought to the attention of the administration. Council members, when they determine the policy to be followed on certain questions, do not give reign to their personal opinions. Their actions in all circumstances have been determined by the opin- ions prevalent in the group they represent. The Senior Council coordinates the policy of the administration and the desires of the student body. It has become an institution in the school. Its operation is based on the highest ideals of democracy. The work of this year's student council was unusual in that it sponsored our first Student Day. It conducted the election of teachers and administrators. with Bill Merdes as principal and Florence Weber as secretary, Student Day fulfilled the best expectations of all. Mary Jane Solito, president of council, has done much to give the Senior Council its present record of performance. Among the functions of council this year were the sale of school insignia, regulating of booing at basketball games, collection of tickets at ball games, supervision of merit parade selection, conduction of social hours, and of course, the introduction of Student Day.
