THIRD ANNUAL CITZENSHIP DAY On November 27, 1956, the students of L.M.H.S. held their Third Annual Citizenship Day, whoso purpose was to study the Crisis in Education. Our keynote speaker Mr. John J. Scanlon, Deputy Director of Research of the Ford Foundation, delivered a most enlightening address on the crisis in education. The program was divided into two sections, morning and after- noon. During the morning assembly, a panel consisting of seven members from the armed services, the arts, education and former students, discussed the topic Is education meeting the needs of a changing and complex society? In the second assembly a panel of three members recommended possible courses for student action upon problems which crystallized during the day's discussions. The success of the day can only be measured by the impression made upon the student body itself. Credit is due to the faculty for their cooperation, and especially to Mr. Pezzullo and Mr. Braunhut for their encouragement and help.

Therefore, the Senior Carnival, held in October, was a tremendous success. Shaving balloons, hitting and missing targets and getting married were all a part of the fun had by the many in at- tendance. Bill Schoolman and his band provided the music for the dancing and the dance contests. The lucky winners of the games and contests went home with pleasant keep- sakes. The profits of the Senior Carnival went towards the expense of Echoes. I SENIOR INFORMALS SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL With the help of Mr. Rowan and Mr. Kaye, and under the able leadership of Thomas Sanders, George Lukemire, Arleen Gleason, Ellen Scheffler and Maryanne Romano the Senior Class Council accomplished much this year. Their first successful undertaking was the Senior Carnival, which provided funds for the Echoes. In February this group organized a much enjoyed skating party. The Senior Council also organized the popular class trip to Washington, D. C, as well as the senior prom, Almost Paradise, both of which brought the year to an exciting and profitable close. G. O.
