The Traffic Squad - democracy is in action in our school corridors. Between classes and at lunchtime, members of the Traffic Squad are at work protecting the rights and helping to guarantee the safety of all. The rules which this squad enforces are few and simple, and were made by the squad with the approval of the representatives of the entire student body - the Student Council. As years pass, a growing percentage of Old Lyme students appreciate these rules and the squad which enforces them. Thus, by another institution demo- cratic citizenship is improved. The Tramc Court of the Old Lyme High School tries students accused of breaking corridor laws and punishes those found guilty. The officers of the court, however, do not consider this their main duty. They believe their chief purposes are to develop a better understanding of the reasons for government and law, and to further a desire for greater social cooperation in those brought to the court. ' Visitors to the court are impressed with the evidence of these aims. Those Our top orator Career-Day Blues for the year Next? A' 't

STUDENT COUNCIL The activities of the Old Lyme Student Council are evidence of the fact that there is continuing leadership in our school. Leaders of past councils, either by directing or following the desires of the student body, have established many activities which have become traditions in the Old Lyme High School. These include the annual Community Christmas Proiect, the yearly Career Day Program, the Spring Festival, the Twirp Dance, helping with the school political activities, and the establishment and sponsorship of such institutions as the Traffic Squad and the Traitic Court. They have led in the creation of a school emblem and the adoption of a standard school ring. This year's council has continued the spon- sorship of the proiects. However, it has not stopped there. lt has proven that in Old Lyme the spirit of leadership is still strong, and that the desire continues for ever greater cooperation among students and for the improvement of standards. Among the proofs of this are the establishment of a new Code of Conduct for Old Lyme students, and the revision and strengthening of the Stu- dent Government Constitution for the consideration of the entire student body. May the Student Council continue to grow and be an influence in our school and community. RUTH PREST 12
