These are only a few of the ques- tions which the World Affairs Club asks during its Wednesday meetings. Assisted by their advisor, Mr. Lockwood, they answer these and many other questions. The club is based on the purpose of promoting interest and knowledge of world events and their significance. The World Affairs Club runs various activi- ties during the year. These activities range from debates and discussions to films and opinion surveys. The club also runs fund-raising projects for the benefit of the local American Field Service chapter, such as the 1066 Dance, commemorating the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. W V PPK

STUDENT COUNCIL One of the most vital organizations at North Reading is the Student Council. Meeting on Thursday afternoons, they represent the opportunity for the student body to express their views and take action upon issues which concern them. Meetings are often extended to nearly four o’clock, to allow for debate and dis- cussion upon such problems as student re presentation. Projects for the year are planned, such as the annual student-faculty game, and committees are formed to investigate such ideas as the establishment of a student court. The Student Council, advised by Mr. Mannheim, has a great responsibility and a great effect upon the student life, and most important, it is a kind of “exercise in democracy” for the students, preparing us to become more active participants in our governments. “How many times do 1 have to tell you — you’re out of order?”

MATH CLUB Reflecting the vital interest in mathematics of many students. Math Club provides them with an op- portunity to compete with the top math students of other local high schools in monthly math meets. At meets, the tensions of individual and team rival- ries build throughout the six separate contests, in subjects ranging from Algebra I to Trigonometry. A good performance under such conditions is, at best, difficult, yet, under Mr. Markham’s able coaching, North Reading’s Math Club has performed consist- ently well. 28
