Student Council Plans Social Activities and Helps With Noon Program Selected by the student body to represent them in planning and super- vising school activities, the Student Council, composed of twenty-eight mem- bers, meets each Monday during the eighth period. The Council held dances — both mod- ern and square — at Hallowe’en, Thanks- giving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and a Spring Hop during the past year; managed the noon-activities program; chose various assemblies; and supervised the refreshment stand during the football season. Each month the Council selects the “Boy of the Month” to represent the school as a guest at a Lions Club dinner meeting. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Felver are the Council advisers. 1.

Games and Dancing Featured in Noon Activity Program Kin ■ rr , 'T'lffir m l- At noon students enjoy reading in our well-equipped library Boys sharpen up for coming ping-pong tournament Dancers jitterbug to the music of the Stardreamers At the beginning of the second year of noon- activities the student cry was “More games! More games! And so each Monday, Tuesday, and Thurs- day noon the game-minded students enjoy ping-pong, checkers, quoits, and cards in the bandroom and basketball in the gym. For those not wishing to participate in games, the library is open for reading. For students interested in dancing, our own Lehigh Valley Playboys provide the music for squaie dancing on Wednesday; our Stardreamers, for modern dancing on Friday. The noon-activities are shared by both out-of- town and town students and are in charge of Mr. Hughes. A rebound is taken after a basketball shot is missed 19

Guidance Program Includes Conferences, Tests, and Office Visitation At the present time each of the senior high school classes has its own guidance counselor: the seniors, Mrs. McGonigle; the juniors, Mr. Hughes; and the sophomores, Mr. Felver. Throughout the year students who have problems or difficulties may interview the guidance counselors for help. Frequently these interviews enable students to im- prove their weak and develop their strong points. As a special service to the students, the Nazareth Rotary Club is instrumental in securing speakers for vocational con- ferences in the areas of student choice. Scheduled during school time, these con- ferences cover the nature, preparation, and advantages of various vocations. Besides these career conferences, students are given an opportunity to take Vocational Aptitude Tests ad- ministered by a vocational counselor from the State Employment office at Easton, Pa. Through the cooperation of four local business sponsors — Penn Dixie and Lone Star Cement Companies and Nazareth National Bank and Trust Company and the Second National Bank — each of the fifty- seven senior commercial students has had an opportunity to observe the operation of business in an office. Before proceeding with the office visitation program, each businessgroup took the students to lunch.
