The year began with election of officers and necessary committee meetings. We sent two members, John Naffy and Secretary Jim Mecca, to the Fourth Annual Traffic Safety Conference at Buffalo State Teach- ers College. Vincent LoTempio, a mem- ber, attended as President of the Student Council. Problems of teen-age and adult drivers were discussed. A report was made by attending members to the en- tire Safety Committee. Later in the year the Committee pre- sented its safety assembly in which we received our lOth Annual Safety Award. The award was presented to Roger Hig- gins by Dr. Irvin Himmele, our guest speaker. Mr. Kamprath then received the award from Roger on behalf of the school. Dr. Himmele gave a short talk on accidents and their prevention. The as- sembly was concluded with a report on the Traffic Safety Conference by Mr. Na- pier, our advisor. We have had our regular meetings dealing with our school safety problems and the search for ways to reduce our accident rate. Proof of our diligence is the fact that this year's rate is lower than last year's. The Committee also acquired safety posters for all the shops. Shop re- presentatives will insure their rotation during the year. Each shop was provided with six posters. During the year the Committee main- tained its traditional safety engineers in the shops. Thanks are due to the student body for its cooperation in safety meas- ures and especially to our advisers, Mr. Napier and Mr. D'Arcangelo.

Its high level of ser- vice to the school can only be credited to the members who take an active part in teamwork to better the school. Membership in the club is limited to a minority of the student body, young men of a demonstrated sense of respon- sibility approved by the following club officers: President, Joseph Kwasniewski, Vice-President, Richard Croad, Secretary, Leonard Mierczewski, Treasurer, Thomas Kipler, and Sergeant-at-arms, John Woj- cik. The Club's most important service is the supervision of the school cafeteria. Members performing this service are de- pendent upon the cooperation of their fellow students which is usually forth- coming. Other services provided are the management of the auditorium, the pro- vision of occasional help in the office, and escort assistance to the school's visit- ors. The student's efforts are not only helpful to the school but provide him with an opportunity to assume leader- ship, responsibility and to work with people.

Some of the Freshmen and Sophomores who be- gan their participation this year have made exceptional progress and have al- ready taken their places in the Band. Moreover, boys who were new last year have grown in experience and ability and now function as leaders in the Band's endeavors. Especially valuable are three of last year's Freshmen: Edwin Reszel, John Vitello and Larry Cleveland who, along with Salvatore Rinaldo, a Junior have won themselves key positions in the Buffalo All High Band. This is quite exceptional in view of the fact that some of the high schools in the city are not even represented in that organization. We have a special advanced Wood- wind Choir this year which has function- ed as part of, as well as in place of, the Dance Band for special assemblies and other events. This group will again re- present McKinley in this year's Parade of Bands sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Later in May they will be performing music of a more serious na- ture forthe Annual Music Festival of the Buffalo Board of Education. The Spring Variety Show will also feature the Band and its ensembles.
