Joh car pro ds to Fred Craft during the annual service The Student Senate is one of the most important student organi- zations at MHS. It constantly instills in our students a sense of fair play and responsibility which benefits them now and will pay div- idends later in their adult lives. Among the activities of the Student Senate are the discussion of student suggestions and problems, the continuing effort to develop pleasant relationships with our com- munity friends, the sale of Christmas cards to our student body, and the annual Easter trip to the Elizabethtown Crippled Children's Hospital with gifts from our students. The Student Senate has performed its job well this year under the leadership of its president, David Fiahnestock, and with the un- failing guidance of its advisor, Mr. Alfred T. Gibble. n Mellinger makes a sale of Christmas Robert Brown, John Bressler, Dale Clews, Stephen Benevento, and Charles Chase put the finishing touches on Easter baskets for crippled children. ject. 19

The Glee Club's frequent appearances in Sunday morning worship ser- vices always added to the inspirational atmosphere of the service. The real highlights of Glee Club activities this year, however, were the record- ing of a number of its favorite selections and two week-end concert tours. The officers of the Glee Club were James O'Shell, president, Ronald Osborne, manager, Perry Knouse, secretary, Dale Miller, librarian, and Robert Dilts, historian. Lamar Wildermuth served quite capably as the ac- companist. Afner. First Row 11. to r.l: Lamar Wildermuth, Daniel DiTomaso, Walter Brooks.
