Considering the inexperience of the members it functioned quite well. Among the activities the Student Council sponsored were: Christmas and Thanksgiving assemblies. Student Council meeting at an assembly. Trip to Cleveland Indian Baseball game. Set up the social calendar for the year. Administered aptitude tests to the Juniors and Seniors. Had a polio drive. They also set up a permanent method of selecting cheerleaders. The Council is a member of the NASC which stands for National Association of Student Council.

Assemblies Our assemblies were quite enjoyable. We had a Visual Education assembly at least once a week, at which Mr. Celbar and his boys showed us movies on some every interesting subjects. The band was al- ways there to help us along and accompany us at the Pep Rallies and Assemblies. The Student Council was very active this year by bringing in a few speakers. One of them was Detective Ted O'Conner who spoke to us about Juvenile crimes and cases. Two weeks after his engagement here at Lowellville High School he suffered a severe heart attack, so the Student Council in appreciation for his talk to us, sent him flowers. On October 6, Miss Angelillo had Grace Phelan, the world's famous speed typist and former world's amateur typing champion come here to give us a demonstration on the Do's and Don'ts of typing. During the Polio Drive the Student Council once again had a speaker, John Fanto, who gave a very heart-warming talk on Polio, which I am sure opened the eyes and ears of many of our students to the dreadful disease of Polio. In February, Mr. Haines's Public Speaking class put on a skit in which each student did a Monologue. This was enjoyed by the Student Body. Our assemblies consisted of the Turkey Raffle, the Christmas Pro- gram, the Easter Program and also our pep rallies in which the cheer- leaders did their best to make them as enjoyable as possible. Last, but not least, we had our annual Senior Day assembly which will be remembered for many years to come.
