Meeting every Wednesday morning during the regu- lar activity period the two representatives chosen from each class plan the parties, assemblies, dances and Roundhouse. A few of the many events planned by the student council which have highlighted the year were the Sock Hop and the Coronation Dance. One of its many aims is to keep the sportsmanship and spirit at the high level always associated with New- ton High. The sportsmanship at the games and the enthusiastic co-operation and support the student body exhibited at school functions are attributed to this fine group of energetic workers which compose the student council. Librarians: Ls-ft to right, Shirley Spohn, Janis Unruh, Lola Decker, Roberta Hoffman, Betty Pc-rry and Marilyn Hoclel. Page Twenty-Eight X. i J... udenf.

Appointed by Mrs. Roberts on the basis of scholarship and responsibility, these girls play an important role in the library by finding reference material and books, arranging books on shelves, filing library cards, sending out over-due slips and mending torn books.

Over 316 bags were folded by the Y-Teens for hospitals, and they distributed baskets of fruit and cookies to the Bethel Home for Aged, the Presbyterian Home, and Spangler Nursing Home. Cash, hose, and mittens were sent to the Navajo Indians at Christmas time. The 216 members bought a grocery coupon book for an elderly woman during the Christmas season and contributed money to the Christian Children's Fund, World Fellowship, and Korea.

During the Christmas season the boys deco- rated the balcony above the front door with Christmas trees and lights. Money was also donated to the needy at this time. lli-Y Ul'l'ir'1i':- for this yin: were Koliort Stratton.
