This year the team is losing sever- al of its members: June Gleason, Virginia Hall, Betty Howes and Jean- ette Porter, but the team is eagerly awaiting next season. The girls wish to extend their thanks to their coach Miss Martha Harris and their manager Miss Alyce Joseph. The girls also have field hockey. They were presented with 24 hockey sticks by the American Field Associ- ation. Practice was begun this spring so they will be ready for the games which begin in the fall.

It is comprised of twelve members of which four are seniors, three jun- iors, two sophomores, one freshman, and a representative from each of the junior high classes. The students selected to serve on this council must have leadership, ability, and be in the upper third of their class in scholarship rating. This year the council sponsored the athletic program which consisted of basketball, baseball, badminton, and field hockey. We also held a dance, sponsored the tri-town and inter-class plays, established the mer- it system and introduced a chapter of the National Honor Society to the school. The council and other mem- bers of the student body helped to make up a handbook of the rules and regulations of the school. The council sponsored the first an- nual fiield day for boys and girls on May 26th. Although in existence but two years, the Student Council has suc- cessfully reflected the student point of view in school functions and has introduced many new activities that have benefited Norwell High.
