Under the gavel of Ann Rosenberger and the guidance of Mr. John Adzigian, the first ‘‘House of Representatives’’ has been an ac- tive service in our new school. This year the House gave approval to the organization of the new Camera Club and to the National Honor Society faculty stu- dent basketball game. Also approved were the selling of coke and candy by the Junior Class at the basket- ball games and the selling of ‘“Lexington Beanies’ by the Senior Class. In accordance with its policy to give advice or financial backing to any organization seek- ing help, the Council agreed to back the National Honor Society’s tentative handbook with thirty dollars. The Council has been a part of other services to the school and to various welfare organizations. It ran the March of Dimes Drive in the school and the first aid kit drive for U. N. Week. In addition, this active group organized a Better School Committee to help the students shoulder the responsibility for our new school, and the Lunchroom, Football, Election, and Pep Rally Committees. Another beneficial action of this year’s Council has been the awarding of field hockey pins to the un- defeated Girls’ Field Hockey Varsity Squad. Next year the House will sponsor a foreign ‘student at Lexington High School. Our House of Representatives worked hard this year and did a good job keeping Lexington High School running moothly. The character and success of this Student Council could only reflect the coopera- tion and helpful spirit of the student body as a whole.

Polley ON THE SPOT NEWS The Spotlight, our school paper, was managed by Miss Bujnievicz and Editor- in-chief Carolyn Culler, who was aided by her assistant Joyce Herbold. For their profitable activities this year, Spotlight supplied the school with those bright blue and gold book covers that were so popular and sold Christmas corsages to the student body before the holiday season. The Spotlight was a true source of amusement and one of the major factors which helped to bind the student body closer together in their work and fun. It was a friendly and sometimes gossipy piece of literature, almost like that of a really small country town newspaper, where one practically felt that he was talking with his friend about the major accomplishments and events of the year. Special credit should go to Business Manager Patty Wildes and her typists for their tireless work in helping to put out this paper. Also most faithful and hardworking were Roger Collins, Bob DeSimone, and Arlene Fury, who did their work well. All these workers headed by their capable editors and advisors deserved the praise they received for their efforts in putting forth such an enjoyable school paper. au Dear Editor: ‘My point of view . .

FUUR-STAR STUDENTS The 1953-1954 Lexington Chapter of the National Honor Society has been composed of eight students and was under the direction of their faculty advisor Miss Constance C. Murray. When these students found themselves eligible because they were in the upper third of their class, they proceeded to fill out application forms giving their names, class, and leadership points which were determined by their activities and leadership responsibilities. They were then rated for service and character by every teacher acquainted with them. A faculty committee repre- senting all the school departments then added up all their ratings and leadership points (by a numerical system), and since they came out with the highest ratings, these eight students were elected members of the Society. Chosen for their outstanding qualities of leadership, character, service, and scholarship these people have proved their ability by serving the school in many ways. They have formed a group of students commonly known as the ‘‘Guest Greeters’’, who act as hosts and hostesses at two of the school’s main entrances and keep a record of all visiting guests. At the beginning of school they presented each member of the school body with a copy of a tentative handbook which was compiled and assembled entirely by members of the Society with the help of a few typists. This handbook was a great success since it acquainted many of the new and old students in our new school with new policies, teachers, and activities. In order to finance a permanent handbook, the members have been hold- ing pencil sales at school and have also sponsored a student-faculty basketball game which proved enjoy- able not only to the students but also to the faculty.
