Its main purposes sre to raise money to pay the fees of officialsat all interscholas-tlc games, to purchase necessary incidental athletic equipment, and to conduct social and athletic programs. The main event sponsored by the Council during the 1939-40 administration was the Sport Dance. The floor show at this event was one of the best ever sponsored in the high school. A series of movies, including Abraham Lincoln, Timber War, and selected short subjects, was presented throughout the year. The organization has cooperated with the Student Council by purchasing ping-pong sets and records to carry out the familiar nocohour program. The Council , made up of five boys and five girls from the high school grades, is under the guidance of two faculty members. Blue crew hats, bearing the gold initials of the Newington Athletic Council, have been adopted as a symbol of membership in the organization.
