Working closely with various organizations, the administration, and the faculty, the Student Council manages operations common to both. There are few school-wide projects which are not under its supervision. The student representatives, are re- sponsible for voicing the opinions and ideas of the homeroom students they represent, and report to them the decisions and projects of the Council. As part of its calendar the organization planned and directed the activities of Homecoming Week, promoted Spirit Week, supervised the memorable two weeks of Operation Amigo, and conducted an Americanism Week in February. As a service to incoming sophomores, the Student Council presented guide books which contain imperative information about the traditions and cus- toms of Norland. Besides operating the supply store, the Council main- tained the convenient Jtautostore , the many supply machines located throughout the school. Thus, for another year the Student Council has dem- onstrated the advantages of capable, responsible government under the direction of Mr. Milberg.

With Pen In Hand, Thor Reporters Edit News iiTHORSday is the cry heard each month as another issue of the Thor is eagerly received by Nor- land students. Behind each edition is the Thor staff. The goal of the staff is the publishing of an accu- rate and interesting newspaper, fulfllling the princi- ples of good journalism as well as entertaining the readers. Each month a rigorous schedule of compil- ing the news, organizing, selecting and writing the material, preparing layouts, counting copy, proof- reading, and typing the completed work is followed. The paper is then printed and distributed to the individual homeroom sections. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Massey, the Thor featured forthcoming school events, sports news, and other student activities. Students were the focal point of the newspaper, as articles presented information about school policy and news pertaining to the stu- dents. Special issues were published on holidays and the final edition was devoted to the coverage of traditional events which characterize the completion of the school year. Requisites for membership of the Thor staff in clude previous journalistic experience, sponsor ap- proval, time to devote to the publication, and a genuine desire to write for the newspaper. mum mxmnmdi .. . i e... .mi m Keeping the student body posted on the progress of Nor- landis teams is the duty of Sports Editor, Mark Abramson.
