Students are kept busy throughout the year, not only by scholastic tasks, but also by the many organizations that meet before and after school. These organizations provide students with a variety of activities from which to choose. This variety of clubs attempts to satisfy each individual's interests and talents. They help students to be welI-rounded as well as giving them a'chance to meet other students. Outside involvement. in an organization is just as important to a studentts character as is classroom learning. Many things learned by involvement and experience can direct a student's life in future years. Student Council and Girls' Council consist of students representing all grade levels. The main goal of these organizations is to serve the student and to make school life easier. Student Council worked on the dress code along with Girlsl Council. Giris' Council held two fashion shows, one in the fall and another in the spring. Both clubs undertook projects which helped the com- munity as well as the students. ' National Honor Society is limited to juniors and seniors who are chosen by faculty members in recognition of their outstanding scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The group had monthly meetings and presented the induction . ceremony in February. , This year the language clubs combined forces to make money. The latin, French, and Spanish clubs sold light bulbs, candy and candles in order to make money for their planned activities. All three clubs planned a party in the spring, along with other individual activities , throughout the year. Future Teachers of America, a long established organization at Norwood High School, sets its goals at introducing students to the field of teaching. A Halloween party, Christmas caroling, a spring banquet, a picnic and a Career Day are some of the activities which F.T.A. performed. Debate Club, another organization for all grade levels, is a club whose function is to research the affirmative and negative arguments of a national debate topic. This year the - debaters discussed judicial form. Although the fre- quency of interscholastic debate tournaments has sub- sided in this area, the club members united in homeroom 114 had little trouble creating controversy among themselves. , Projectionists, office, library, counselors' olfice, cafeteria, and clinic workers all spent this year serving the school in various ways. The proiectionists were responsible for distributing and operating the audio- visual aids equipment throughout the school. The office, counselors' office, clinic and library workers mainly ran errands. They also watched the offices and clinic when the secretaries were away. The switchboard t workers operated the switchboard andassisted the secretary with odd jobs. Llobs are made easier and accomplished quicker because of the services of these students. The publications stalls had a busy but successful year. The Mirror saw several changes take place in its operation including a new method of printing and an organized stall whose goals are to enhance creativity and efficiency.
