Karen Handley presides at an informal meeting DEBATING Thirty years ago Mr. Norm Hamley was an acknowledged bril¬ liant orator-rhetorician on the Worcester high school scene. Therefore, it’s incumbent that we should be putting his talents to valuable use. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. As debating ad¬ visor here at school, he has been non-sparing in solidifying on A-l squad. Let’s hope and trust he’ll be rewarded with a sleuth of victories in the Swingin’ Seventies. Paul Johnson Marianna Mahoney Bob Hartman CHINESE CLASS We should certainly regard ourselves blessed for hav¬ ing a mandarin master like Mr. LaPlante in our midst. With his knowledge of this language, it wouldn’t be sur¬ prising if we’ll be sending ambassadors to the court of Peking. Four students who have become partakers of Mr. LaPlante’s oriental fluency are shown at left; namely, Tina Halpin, David Allen, Pat Dronzek, and Linda Desautell.

STUDENT COUNCIL This was the initial year of the LHS Student Council and it was well received by the vast majority of pupils. Advisor Mr. LaPlante steered it along on a sensible, mature course. Rules and regulations govern¬ ing dress, behavior, etcetera, have been spelled out by coun¬ cil members, who were chosen by their homeroom class¬ mates. Thus, it’s only natural that their policies should be binding upon the entire school.

ARROW STAFF Advisor Mr. John King has taken up the newspaper reins and reactivated what has been an off-again, on-again type activity here at school the last several years. It is hoped next year that we shall go to print on at least a bi¬ monthly basis so as to compete favorably with other schools in the area. Too, the sound of the “Award-winning Arrow” has a pleasant ring to it. So, let’s get with it, kids. It’s your best medium of communicating intimately with the student body. Officers
