It's easy to see how a student must study to achieve such merit in this grueling competition.

However, there are still many co- educational schools, and, because of the scattered rural population in some areas, many boarding schools. One of the maj» r differences be- tween our school systems is the method of student government. In a New Zealand school the faculty will .select responsible students from the senior class to help them in the general supervisii ii of the .school, especially in the matters of discipline. These •’I’refecls”, as they are called, arc parallel to your Student and E.xecutive Counceillors but with more authority and power.

It contains sport stories, gossip columns, club news, feature stories, and of course, editorials. Its purpose is to inform both the school and the community of interesting and important events in our school. This page in the County Leader is compiled and edited by a staff of twenty-five students. They work at the County Leader office in an atmosphere which in-stills a love of the newspaper in their blood while giving them valuable experience. OCTAGON The literary magazine was given a new name and a new advisor this year. The new name is The Octagon, and the new advisor is Mrs. Mildred Stevenson. The purpose of the magazine is to stimulate interest in creative writing and to serve as an outlet for those who possess talent in written and artistic endeavors. ROW — K. Libby, C. Wright, K.

LIBRARY AIDS Because our library is of value to both the students and the faculty of Marple-Newtown Senior High, the service rendered by the library aides is of great impor- tance. This group of girls has relinquished their study hall periods in order to help in the library. Their pay is merely self-satisfaction, not a material gain. By shelving books, covering and stamping new books and magazines, attending to the check out desk and per- forming other time consuming tasks, the girls allow Mrs. Murphy to attend to the more pressing jobs of a busy librarian. Not only are the library aides serving our school, they are helping themselves. They become familiar with the functions and arrangement of the library as well as the duties of the librarian. This will prove most useful in the future - especially if the future encom- passes college or a career in library science. The library assistants are a valuable asset to our school and are to be commended for the diligence, persistence and willingness with which they serve the faculty and student body. Sunner, and J.
