This year's Student Council. under the sponsorship of Mr. Lyons, has been a very busy group. The Red Feather Community Fund Drive last October found the Council members scouring the senior unit homerooms for loose change, and the March of Dimes Drive in February gave them a chance to gather the change that had collected since October. ln February, the Council decided to find out how other schools solved some of their problems, such as keeping their cafeterias clean, and providing interesting assembly programs for their students. Committees were formed during March to visit these schools. Several ways of raising money were put into effect. For a time, North stickers for books were sold in the cafeteria during lunch periods. and later North Quincy Red Raider decals for automobiles were put on sale. The council also sold plastic coated book covers, but the profits from these were donated to the l95O Nlanet. The Council not only sponsored several projects for the school and the community. but also has found time for two of the year's big social events. The Rolling Raiders, a roller skating party, was held at the Riverveiw Rollerdrome in October. Everyone who Went, Whether or not he could skate, thoroughly enjoyed the affair. ln December, the Council also held one of the year's outstanding dances, Sleighbell Serenade. President, Theodore Reed: Vice-President, Frances Wright: Secretary, Marjorie Thompson: Treasurer, Burton Brown: Adviser, Mr. Lyons. STUDENT COUNCIL x 9 49? ' A J TY-.A li . i

NATIONAL I-IUNOR SOCIETY Z f x G X --U -K Why the special curtains for the stage? Why are the lights out, and what are those four candles? lt all looks so impressive. so solemn. It is impressive: it is solemn. It is the induction ceremony of the National Honor Society, at which new members are received into Chapter 1804 of the national group. One by one the four candles are lighted as four mzmbers of the society aptly present their interpretations of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. For it is his high scholarship in studies, his service to school organiza- tions. his leadership both in class and in outside activities, and his character as observed by his teachers, that determines the student's election to the society. Now that the four candles are lighted, the anxiously awaited moment has arrived. The members-to-be file by the front of the stage each receiving a membership card and the enviable gold lapel pin. Next, in sober concert, the newly elected members. lead by Mr. Collins. repeat the pledge. The address by the guest speaker concludes the program leaving us feeling a little bit dis- satisified with our indifference to school work and best of all a little bit resolved to do better in improving our own character, scholarship, leadership and service. President, Robert Waywood: Vice-President, Marilyn Packert: Secretary, Genevieve O'Nei1: Treasurer, David Cook. 1 Q X, :gum
