School Activities Promoted By Presidents Success or failure of any undertaking depends upon the organization and unification of the components. The Homeroom Presidents Club was originated to provide the leadership necessary to insure a successful school year. This organization is composed of individual home- room presidents who transact important business dur- ing the homeroom period each morning. In addition to their own projects, members promote all activities sponsored by the various school organizations. The Homeroom Presidents have three major projects of their own. College Night, which took place in Nov- ember, was a time during which many colleges sent representatives to talk to prospective applicants who now attend Norland. A Christmas box program for indigent families was the second major task of the year. Finally, the presidents, with the aid of Mr. Donald Bagley and Mrs. Jessie Chamberlin, sponsored the Career Day Program in the spring. Originated to provide students with a broader knowl- edge of vocational opportunities, Career Day featured representatives from forty-eight professions. To prepare for this important event the presidents conducted an extensive schoolwide advertising campaign. Bill Barnes and JD.
