All too soon we were hack at school with resolutions galore to do our homework and get lwetter report cards. Of course our good intentions were soon forgotten, lvut it wouldnt he a new year without resolutions. The parties and dances and dates with collegiates were over and M.H.S. seemed tame and routine. To start the new year right, Manhasset went cosmopolitan. M. H.

It was oozing Yuletide spirit, Among the features were Ann McGeeney's Frustrated Christ- mas Worker's Letter to Santa Claus, Liz B1ock's poetic greeting to 75 people in and out of Man- hasset, a history of the Tmrer. and a letter from a Bleary-eyed Frosh asking if there was a Santa Claus. Olifhat a silly question !J And then there were parties-the Honorary Dramatics Club gave a Christmas party to end all Christmas parties the Tuesday before school closed. It was complete with elaborate decorations, re- freshments and 85 people. Jaraslav Drabek and Dagmar Cebe-Haberska spoke to the group about Christmas and the treatre in Europe. The students and faculty members made a round robin record- ing of The Night Before Christmas. The Span- ish Club at its party exchanged dime-store pres- ents. fAfter all, it's the thought, not the cost.J The French Club celebrated Christmas early, on December 8. They went to New York for lunch at the home of a friend of Mrs. Hare. They spoke French fpassez the bread, s'il vous plaitj in be- tween mouthfuls of real French food. They saw Symphonic Pastoralef' a French movie, and en- joyed it thanks to English subtitles. J. V. SOCCER Rau' O11efP. Hallic, J. Rhodes, B. Houseworth, E. Smith, B. Zeckhausen, K.

who represented the Marshall Plan countries, stayed in homes in the Metropolitan area for two-' week periods in order to see and experience the home life in America. Kiki was the guest of Judy Shumway and Nancy Barrow, while Jerry stayed with Derry Kruse. Manhasset students were im- pressed with QIJ how very little real difference there is between American and European teen- agers, Q25 how well they speak English, and QBJ how much more ditiicult their schools are than ours. The whole program benefitted Manhasset. As Jerry remarked, How wonderful it would be if all the nations of the world could get along together as well as their young representatives. ln January the National Honor Society chose twelve seniors as members. Marilyn Craig, Bob Ferguson, Beverly liowle, Maryann Holmes, Don King, Elizabeth Block, Hugh Kitchener, Marjorie Cote, Ann McGeeney, Carolyn Rapp, Glenn Riggs. CAMERA CLUB C. Jennings, D. Payne, T. Beckett, A. Knapp, J. Sturges, B. Siebert. and Ginny Thompson were elected on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. All the students in the top quarter of the senior class were considered, but only 1552 of the class could be admitted. After years of complaints and suggestions and petitions a committee was set up to work on a youth center for Manhasset High School students. The members were Mary Talbott and Larry Ed- wards, freshmen, Marilyn Wittsc'hen and Dick Clark, sophomores, Judy Shumway and Don Bayer. juniors, and Ginny Thompson and Don King, seniors. They decided to start by setting up the youth center in the school with the help of the School Community Association. The committee planned to use the general purpose room with the hope that the youth center might be moved to some other building in Manhasset in the future. HOSTIZSS CLl'l5 Lalflaca, G. Dunne.
