working on plans to improve the quality of enter- tainment in M. H, S. The Girls' Athletic Council, a very important committee to at least half ot' us, got under way quickly by electing Rita Schmorr its head, and all its other members at the very beginning of the fall season. The G. A. C. takes charge of girls' sports and plans the girls' sports night, which in itself is a very important job. Ann McGeeney's proctor squad elected their new members early and soon, en masse, they made their first appearance at strategic posts through- out the classic halls. In addition to the annual capers of the innocent QU freshmen and some upperclassmen who had forgotten the ancient rules over the summer, the proctors themselves had a little ditliculty concerning the ringing of the period bells in the corridors. tlt seemed that some proctors, who were isolated at their posts and couldn't hear the bells ring, remained stolidly at attention until rescue squads could reach them and tell them of the change of periods.j Soon, however, the trouble ceased and the now veteran proctor squad was standing squarely on their feet between all periods, and the school began to look its impressive best. The 7'flIl'FI' staff, the people who put out this book, made headlines as early as Cctober seventh, when Derry Kruse was elected editor-in-chief.

the benefit of those who were at last growing weary of Pappass The congress also juggled the number of buses to away football games with great enthusiasm, and in many other ways managed to keep busy for forty minutes a week and still leave great piles of motions on the table. The new Cub staff under Elizabeth Block started off with a bang, their first issue comming out tyet, Vllllllllfllg!'I'Cl11CITTl5CI'?J on October sev- enth. The Cub had a few carry'-over features from last year like Can You Imagine. . Life ls but a Song, and Bill Braznell's very popular column, Out of This Worlcl g but there were new ones too, like News in Brief, and Club News, which all went to make the Cub a more informative and easily readable paper. The various Cub departments started the year off very' enthusiastically. The editorial staff, headed by 4 . 1. 5 .Yu A john Moghtader, surprised M. H. S. by coming out with a few sizzling opinions on school otliters, and published many letters to the editor. especially after an article called My Hero was printed in the Cub's second issue. A real innovation in this y'ear's Cub Reporter was a sports column writen by Bob lferguson and Alice Cleaver, who liked to see their names in the paper, too. On the XVarpath, as the col- umn was called, included everything from discus- sions of athletic events to complaints about locker room conditions, and was widely read by Man- hasset's sports-minded Cub subscribers. ln the entertainment world, Don Guder and his assistant Judy Shumway, heads of the Assembly Committee, were busy scheduling school assembly programs, while the Assembly Preview and the Assembly Reading Committees were simultaneously G.

Cleaver assistant editor, and Don King assistant business manager. Ginny Thompson took the im- portant post of head of the senior section fthe part of this book which is devoted to the indi- vidual seniorj, Bill Braznell headed the art com- mittee, Anne Fincke, the typing committeeg and Evelyn Kelly, the photography committee. Prob- ably what made most of us Tnzcer-conscious throughout the fall was the picture-taking by Mr. Terzian, the 7'nzz'er photographer. We all remem- ber the class, club, and committee pictures, and the seniors remember best, of course, the individ- ual portraits taken in the boys' corrective room-- real professional stuff, what with the lights and poses and so forth. The clubs we all enjoyed so much started early in the year, and there were many new additions to the already long list of activities. Mr. Wulff started a projection club for those interested, and the boys who applied were taught how to handle GERMAN CLUB M, H. S.'s projection equipment without putting on upside-down slides or running the Erpi class- room films without turning on that fascinating music. A French seminar with Madam Hare at the helm was also started for the students who liked francais beaucoupf' The English Club, after chopping its enrollment down to a workable size, commenced its program of study on modern literature and drama. To help satisfy the curiosity of Manhasset scien- tists, Doc Bishop organized a Chemistry Club this year which executed several fascinating experi- ments, including one in hydrogenation. In answer to the requests of other students, Dr. Vassilliw began a club for the reading, writing, and dis- secting of Greek every Thursday morning during the activity period. Then too, Miss Norian's plans to start a new shorthand club were greeted en- thusiastically with lifty female applicants. Another new activity was the Hostess Club Committee. Run' One-M. Lang, B.
