We choose to liken nautical life to our own ship-Old Trail. You and I, the students, are passengers. Our facultyserves as crew - and a capable one at that. We passengers are, following tradition, poor sailors at first. But as time goes on, and we have many experiences behind us, we think only of the thrill of the voyage and of its destination. Our first-class passengers are reaching shore now, the Seniors will soon be off on a new adventure in college. Yet it is not time that goes, but we ourselves. Without the class of 1954 our school will seem quite a different place. But even as the Seniors' places are filled by the following class, they will still be moving onward, somewhere, in a new ship. Therefore sail on, Old Trail! May those who steer your course find success-and, through success, contentment. Dear Seniors: As you leave the portals of Old Trail School to go forth and enter the doors of the college you have chosen, may you keep uppermost in your thoughts that you are ever learning to make a life tirst, and secondly to make a living. As President Eisenhower so aptly phrased this in speaking at Defiance College in October 1953, Our heritage of the American way-is our most precious posses- sion. What we do individually to conserve it, to strengthen it, to enrich it is the only true measure of our devotion to it. More than this, it is the only true measure of the claims we can have on posterity's memory. The wealth we may accumulate, the public prestige we may enjoy, the social position we may attain are all meaningless in the long vista of time unless all are made to serve the cause of human dignity and freedom. I would like you to think of your life as a diamond. If there are only four sides to it there will not be much light or beauty reflected there. The more sides cut in a diamond the more glorious brilliance is seen in it. So with life- the more sides you cultivate as art, music, literature, service, religion, the more radiance and beauty will be given off to others. At Old Trail we have tried to have you share in many experiences to broaden your outlook, enrich your background, and help you to better express yourself. College will lead you further in these experiences. Be the type of person who holds onto the things from the past which are good but always reaches forward to the future for that which is better. There is always room to grow where' ever you may be and we at Old Trail have only helped you plant your seeds which will now begin to grow in an ever continuing process to aid you in making the kind of a life most beneficial to you and mankind. Success in your undertaking! Atfectionately, MISS RUTH A.

Most of us don't save tour-year old calendars, but there are some things which none of us can forget. Take for example, Seniors, your Freshman year. lireshies are always silly, scared, and skinny. You broke no rules there. But what Freshies! You eyed the eligible males at Reserve with superior contempt, and they eyed you with just plain con' tempt. But you managed to bear each other at dancing school. At Candlelight, most of you were off- key, of course, but you still grinned proudly at Mother and Dad during the recessional. Big Sisters were wonderful, but if they were going to make you shine their shoes, they could at least have paid for the shoe polish. May Day and Graduation came so fast that you couldnt believe that the Seniors were leaving. Some day I'll be a Senior, you said. You were so surprised to have passed Freshman year that you didn't know how to behave as Soph- omores. But the Sophomore Prom threw you into a spin, leaving no time for day-dreaming. You were sure no one would come, and then said you knew it all the time when the Quonset was packed. The Home-Nursing course showed you how to avoid Latin on test days. But the Geometry projects were so fun that you waited until after fifth period to complain of subacute bacterial endocarditisf' A few of you were in Glee Club now, and would smile condescendingly on your less fortunate class- mates, not knowing that the music director was smiling condescendingly on you. But oh to be Seniors! ln junior year, source themes, the Yearbook, the prom, and -w oh yes -- schoolwork, kept you busy every minute that you weren't using your new drivers' licenses. You thought more seriously about col- leges now, the main requisites being a school at least six hundred miles from home, and nine boys to every girl. During the trip to Columbus, you noticed several mistakes which Governor Lausche had made, but you were too considerate to embarrass him by pointing them out. Although your journalistic experience had heretofore been limited to Rex Morgan, M.D. , you counted columns in the news- papers faithfully every night while Mother washed the dinner dishes. Source themes were the hub of your wheel of existence, and you were more than a little scornful of those who had never heard of an lbid., much less an op. cit. The year was over before you knew it. At last, the culmination of your most fervent hopes and dreams - Senior year! Now that you had reached it, you felt a little like a four-year old dressed in her mother's old clothes. It seemed only last week that you were tucking your curl-forbidden heads under little green caps. But there you were. So you dived energetically into the task of being school leaders. The Masked Ball was fun, especially the costumes. But the bouffant net-and-fluff affairs which you wore to the Charity Ball were far more practical. Anyhow, you liked a dreamy waltz better than a chorus line. For Androcles and the Lion, you took to grease paint like veterans, and it took to you like glue. Candlelight will always be remem- bered, if not for the sentiment, then because it was the first time in four years that you stayed in step. The last semester went quickly, except for the two decades you spent one Saturday on College Boards. So now you're leaving behind you four years of your life. Perhaps when you and that creep you had to drag to the junior Prom are sitting around the tire reminiscing, you won't remember these years at all. But it's doubtful. For you won't be able to forget your years at Old Trail any more than we, the ones who remain, will be able to forget you. Barbara Haddad, Editor-in-Chief 14 NANCY AHRENDT llNancl1 PCUIIIL' ml. you g11y,r. ' Moderation, the noblest gift ot' heaven. Euripides J A bright smile, laughter, and you'll tind Nancy Ahrendt, better known as Nano One of her strong likes is being with the kids. Maybe this is why her lit4e's ambition is to teach kindergarten, tirst, second, or third grades. She hopes to attend either Ohio Wesleytiri, or Westerrx College for XXfomen. Listed among Nanc's many likes are little sister Polly, Old Trail, Florida, vacation, music, going for rides in a convertible with Suzy. Dislikes? just vege- tables and colds. Nanc this year was the Secretary ot' the Film Com- mittee. In previous years she was captain of the Freshman Hockey Team, captain of the Sophomore Volley-ball Team, also in her Sophomore year captain of the Baseball and then captain of the junior Hockey Team. Although she was busy in her school activities it didn't end there. She likes going on walks, playing with Skeeter and playing records Cher favorites are Slaughter on Tenth Avenue and Charlie My Boy j. We'll miss you next year, Nanc, but best of luck! I-ley, anyone for bridge ? Wfhenever there are a few free moments, you will hear this cry from judy Baer. ll' you haven't already guessed it judy's favor- ite pastiine is playing bridge. judy has been a wonderful leader, which is evi- dent in the record which she has established. In her lfreshman year she was Student Council Representa- tive, Sophomore and junior year she was the Secre- tary of her class. Also in her junior year she was Assistant Editor ol' the Yearbook. Finally, in her Senior year she was elected President of the class. judy belonged to the Modern Dance, Drama and Glee Clubs. She was Vice-President of the Glee Club in her junior year. She has been on either the varsity A or B team in every sport since her Sophomore year. She also was President of G.A.A. judy's likes are: littles, O.T.S., convertibles Qtront seatij, stuffed animals, weekends tot' which she has a goodly numberj, all food, and Garner's. Her dis- likes are few. One is falling asleep in the middle ol' a movie tc-specially when sl1e's on a datelj. The other dislikes are dishonesty and hypocrisy. judy would like to become a chemical engineer and would like to get her education at Duke, Williziiii and Mary, Denison, or Ohio Wesleyain. Best ot' luck in the future, judy. JUDITH ELLEN BAER I lJudy! 1 Anyone for bridge 9 The only reward of virtue is vir- tue, the only way to have a friend is to be one. - Emerson JUDITH HELENA BEAR lIJudyil You know wha! I mean He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. Old Testament The O.'l'.S. Glee Club really missed the boat when it failed to elect our judy to its ranks. Here is one girl who, although her vocal chords are not adept at singing, can talk on the phone with almost no etfortl Dont let her constant chatter fool you, however. judy has held many offices in her four years at Old 'l'rail. She was Business Manager of the Yearbook and chairman of Orchestra and Programs for the junior Prom in her junior year. ln her Senior year she was class Vice-President and Secretary-'l'reasurer of the Student Council. judy's likes are many and varied. She is one of the many Seniors who have succumbed to that dread affliction known as bridge. Because of You heads her hit parade. Sweet rolls and french fried shrimp are her idea of a good dinner. However, tea is not her favorite beverage. Other likes include weekends, Buchtel, her Little Sis, dancing, Lincoln convertibles, and blue eyes. However, she dislikes exams twho doesn't!j, trains, hypocrites, and colored socks. 'ludy is looking forward to college either at Welles- ley, Michigan, or Northwestern. Then she wants to get married and raise a family. We certainly hope that you don't have a party line, Judy! That industrious-looking girl busily writing away in study hall could very well be Susan Davis. Susan, our favorite intellectual, has been an active member of her class since she came to Old Trail her Fresh- man year. She was Vice-President of her class, Secretary- Treasurer of the Lunchroom Committee, and Varsity B hockey member in her Freshman year. As a Sophomore she was Chairman of the Prom, Chair- man of the Lunchroom Committee, and on Varsity hockey, basketball, and baseball teams. The following year she was Editor of the Yearbook and on all varsi- ties. This year she has been on the Student Council as Senior representative, and on all the varsities again. Witll such a full schedule, she managed Dramatics and Modern Dance, and making Cum Laude on the side! Susan is easily satisfied-she likes training her dog, Bonnie, and being with her little sister. She likes dancing and considerate boys. However, she dislikes writing letters. But she does like to get letters- perhaps from these same considerate boys! Other favorites are iced tea and Forever and Ever. Sloppy dressing, cold rooms, and impudence to adults are pet peeves. Swarthmore and Cornell are her college choices, where she wants to study to be a bio-chemist. We hope that you keep up that versatility, Susan, which made you so valuable to Old Trail! SUSAN HUNT DAVIS Now wbaff the mailer? Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. New Testament CHRISTY ANN FIRESTONE Christy Oh Great There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one's ability. -La Rochefoucauld The better half of the Bear-Firestone duet is Christy Firestone, although she does not have sing- ing listed among her likes. Christy was Secretary-Treasurer of G.A.A. in her Freshman year, on Council the last half of her junior year and of her Senior year. She was Vice- President of the junior class and when Maureen Miles left she became President. She was Art Editor of the Yearbook and Chairman of the Decoration Committee for the junior Prom. Her likes are horses, art classes, hillbilly music, traveling falso her favorite pastimej, ballet lessons - she belongs to the Modern Dance Club at school - fishing, Camden, South Carolina, bridge, and her little sister, Sue. Christy's dislikes are few in com- parison. They include: cold weather, cats, milk, ivy, and sidewalks. Her hobbies are riding and drawing. Christy hopes to make a vocation of drawing and she wants to start learning about it at Sweet Briar. We know you will be a success, Christy, and our best wishes are with you. Octet practice at noon. Glee Club special re- hearsal. These orders come from Sonya Haddad, the most musically minded student in Old Trail. She is not just musically minded, but she is quite talented in the lield. She has been the accompanist for the Modern Dance Club for two years, member of the Glee Club for three years, and Octet for two. Music, although her strongest like, is not the only one, Others are Senator Taft, George Gershwin, A.B,, deep discussions, Marilyn and Marilynn, underdogs, unusual people, carrots, and frustrating bridge part- ners. Her dislikes are getting up in the morning, being called Sawnya, wearing hats, Irish tenors, and hypocrites. Sawnya was Secretary of her Freshman class. Through her next three years she held many offices. She was Circulation Manager of the Tmflile in her lfreshie year. In her Sophomore year she was white- team sub-Captain, Publicity Manager of the Prom and Librarian ol' the Glee Club. In the junior year she was Circulation Manager of the Yearbook and Publicity Manager for the Prom. lfinally in her Sen- ior year she was Business Manager for the Senior Play and she was chosen to read the Christmas Story from Luke for Candlelight. Sonya's ambition in life is to travel around the world and to do some work in composition and con- ducting, but lirst she wants to attend Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester. We know she will make the grade. SONYA JANE HADDAD Sane l had a dream lar! night - For there is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion. -Sir Thomas Browne SANDRA HARRIS nsandyn That mce.v my molar! It is easier to influence people through kindness than through force. gAesop .5 .gl si . K s i fi To be well-liked you needn't be a chatter-box. Liv- ing proof of this is Sandy Harris, who came to us from Buchtel two years ago. Her pleasant manner and helpfulness fitted right in. As you might expect. insincerity and noisy people top Sandy's list of dislikes. These are well-balanced by the many things she enjoys. She likes chili at Garner's, riding with Marcia, convertibles, short-cuts to school, the family, Florida, and her Little Sisters. You may have seen her riding around in a beautiful white Buick! At Buchtel Sandy was in Y-Teens and the Dramatic Club. Here at Old Trail she was a very capable Assistant Editor of The Trailitef' Shes looking forward to college at Tufts, Syracuse, or Flora Stone Mather, after which she would like to be a primary school teacher. We know that Sandy, will be as well-liked where- ever she goes as she has been here with us. 9 1 You see a slim, lovely, Ll.lfli-ll.lll'CLl girl and you lind jill Hastings. This thin girl's pet peeve is people who are constantly on diets and don't need to be. jill's favorite pastime is Princeton weekends. Her tavorite hobby is writing letters. tGuess where tolj jill has many more favorites. This long list is headed by piggy banks Qno capitalj, and following tlose are her little sister, Delray, lflorida, being with people, and football games. Her dislikes are three in number, bad, worse and worst and the dislikes are titkle girls, sport cars, and oysters frawj. jill was treasurer of the Senior tlass and Business Manager of the Senior Play. ln her Freshman, Soph- omore, and junior years she was a member of the Decoration Committee. She was alternate-thairman, secretary-treasurer, and chairman, respectively. In her Senior year she was chairman of the Finance Com- mittee. jill has also been a member ot' the Spanish Club. Her interest in languages is going further than the Spanish Club though. As a vocation, jill is going to be a Bilingual Private Secretary. She hopes to attend Middlebury. May the rest of your life be prosperous! -I JILL HASTINGS Treme11don r v--- all that's best of clark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes. - Byron SUE HENDERSON llsuzyli I almost flipped. A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. -Anonymous Do you remember stories about men falling in love with blonde nurses? Sue He-nderson's life ambi- tion is to be a nurse and as you know she has the most beautiful blond hair in the school. Also to help this along, her hobby is collecting dolls fand she didn't specify whether she meant men or chinaj. She would like to attend either Westerri Reserve University or the University of Cincinnati to get her degree in nursing. Sue's likes include, Hudson, cashmere sweaters, Garner's food Qshrimp, fried onions, and chipped ham sandwichesj, also Saturday nights, Sophie, and her little sister, Barb. Sue's dislikes are pretty normal ones for Old Trail girls. They are Mondays and get- ting up in the morning. Her pet peeve is people who don't say thank you. She was on the Varsity B team in hockey this year. Although this seems to be her only athletic accom- plishment, Sue has helped to run the Decoration and Film Committees. She served on the Film Committee in her Freshman and Sophomore years and acted as secretary of it in her Freshie year. In her junior and Senior years she was on the Decoration Committee. She was elected Chairman of it in her Senior year. Sue, we wish you loads of happiness and success in your future. 5 'l'he easiest way to describe Barb is by pointing her out as the girl with the duck. For when she came to Old Trail from Kitthener, Ontario, she had one of the duckiest dunk-tails you'd ever hope to see! Al- though she has been with us for only a year, Barb has adjusted perfectly, and been a lively member Of the student body. At Kitthener she was a eheerleader, played basket- ball, and was Student Clountil President. She was also art editor ol' the yearbook. At Old Trail she has kept up her heavy activities sthedule. She was Vire- l'resident ol' the G.A.A. this year as well as Wllite team taptain, Stage Manager ot the tlass play, on the hotkey team, and in Dramatits. Being very easy to please, Barb likes l2bbtide, Cornell house parties, and Nanty lliteh. lt's surpris4 ing that she didn't adopt the vogue of wearing a big flornell start' to sthool after one particularly dreamy weekend! She also is an additt ot' fattening foods, whith are readily supplied by that haven lor athing appetites, Garner's. ller only dislike, whieh is under- standable, is play rehearsals until 10:00. liarlfs hobby is sketthingg she was a member of the Poster Club at Kittheuer. She would like to at- tend Vlfilliam and Mary and then be a commercial artist. Ciood lutk, Harb! BARBARA LYNN f-Barb HOLCOMB lr tba! 1'igbl?

This is Karen Kennedy and her pet peeve is people who talk slowly! Karen has been a very able leader in her four years at O.'I'.S. She was President of her Sophomore Class and Secretary ol her Senior Class. Karen has been a member of the Clee Club for three years. In her junior year she was secretary- treasurer ot' the Club, in her Senior year she was elected president of it.

Karen's likes include A.li., Dragnet, Sir Laurence Olivier, jessica, history and politics, also playing with Geolf. Her dislikes are geography, cats, lfridays, and Irish Tenors. She was on the Green Team tbaseballj in her lfreshman year, in her Sophomore year also. ln her junior year she was on the li Volleyball Team. Karen would like to be a teacher ot' history or political science. She wants to go to either Wellesley or XX'heaton. NXfhatex'er your choice may be we wish you good liortune. Ann is one of the few Student Council presidents who never needed the famous No-Doze pills! Her good management and sound judgment made the '53-'54 school year run smoothly without a hitch. She has had other offices in her four years at Old Trail. Among them are Freshman class president, Chairman of the junior Prom, and Assistant co-editor of the Yearbook. This year the Seniors entrusted Ann with Ending suitable costumes for their play-even a Tarzan suit! One of the pastimes which Ann enjoys is eating. Naturally then, among her likes, you would expect to find food and you do-coffee ice cream. Her fav- orite song is Night and Day. Other likes include her little sister, Karen, stulfed animals, dimples, and peanuts. She is a fan of hill-billy music, probably because of her attachment to the sunny south. Cats and cocoanuts are her only dislikes, but- she'll have to learn to like the latter if she cver expects to ful- fill her ambition of going to Hawaii! She hopes to attend either Denison or Williani and Mary. We wish you all the success in the world, Ann, and we hope you keelp your pleasant temperament through the days ahea .

Aesop lf there is more laughter than usual coming from English IV, Sally Shively is likely to be the cause of it. Sally has been the court jester of the class of '54 ever since the girls were lfreshies! Her ready wit has provided a break in even the longest classes. One of her likes is to have lots of fun, which she usually does. Other likes are animals, clothes, lots of food, and Judy and Patty. In spite of her love for joking, Sally has been active in committees and clubs during her four years at Old Trail. She was junior class Treasurer, and Co- Photography Editor ot' the Yearbook. She was also in French Club and Glee Club. Sally's usual pastimes are eating and separating the men from the boys! However, she doesn't like boys who try to get serious. Nor does she like raw oysters or nasty people. Although she likes practically any other food, she is partial to broiled steaks smoth- ered in butter and onions. Mmmm! She likes photog- raphy, and is always up on the latest dance steps. Her only peeve is impatient people. Sally wants to be either a bacteriologist or a de- partment store buyer. This will follow study at either Denison or Michigan State. Keep your ready humor, Sally, and you're sure to be a success!

She plans to take a six-year course in music' at Ober- lin Conservatory of Music. Her three years as ac- companist for the Glee Club have well prepared her for this. In Freshman year Rose was on the l.unchroom Committee. She was in the Modern Dance Club and Newspaper Committee in Sophomore year, when she also joined the Glee Club. She continued these activi- ties in junior year. Rose has been in charge of volun- ters for the Art Institute and is a member of the Young Akron Artists Club. This keeps her up on her favorite hobby, oil painting. Rose has been very active at her church, as a mem- ber of the choir, Sunday School accompanist, and participant in the young peoples group. She also spends a great deal of time listening to records, cook- ing, and sewing. Dancing, her two little sisters, school, and Miss Courtney are high on her list of likes. Rose also has a leaning towards dill pickles, math, and Californians. Compared with all of these many likes, we find only three peeves - noise, bossy people, and sacrilegious people. With so many activities behind you, Rose, you're sure to be a success in your chosen career ot' musical education l The fad of wearing stoles caught up to Julie this year, and she was often seen wrapped up in a huge Princeton scarf. Does this mean something, julie??? We remember you as one of the fortunate few at- tending a house party in the fall, but that was at Cornell! julie is always doing something unusual today without having told you yesterday she was planning to do it. However, she has proved herself very de- pendable in many committees and class offices. She has been Treasurer of her Sophomore class, Vice- President of the Finance Committee, Secretary of the Film Committee, and Chairman of the Film Com- mittee. As for extra-curriculars, she has been a mem- ber of the French Club, Glee Club, and Modern Dance. You may remember her as a bewitching Madame Butterfly in one of the Modern Dance productions l julie's hobby is working with crippled children. She hopes to become a physical therapist after gradu- ation from Bradford. Another pastime is eating chipped ham at Gamers Her favorite composition is Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. Other likes are Candlelight, A.B., cats, Cornellt ?j, music, Cuz, chemistry, Toscanini, and the Masked Ball. Her only dislikes are geography, Monday mornings, bebop, and leaving Old Trail. We are as sorry to see you leave Old Trail, julie, as you are to leave it. JULIANNE WILSON Julie Yau make me .rn-0-0-0 m.1d. ' There is a garden in her face, Where roses and white lilies grow. -Campion LESLIE JANE YODER lllesll Oh joy! Smiling always with a never fad- ing serenity ot countenance. -Isaac Barron Who made the goal? Les did, of course. Who is this athletic girl? None other than Leslie jane Yoder. Les has participated in sports since her Freshman year, but hockey and basketball seem to rate Hrst. She has been on either the A or B varsity team of hockey or basketball since her Sophomore year. In her junior year she was a member of Student Council. Les was Chairman of Awards and Inter- mural Manager of G.A.A. in her Sophomore and junior years respectively. In her junior year she was co-photography Editor of the Yearbook and in her Senior year she was Property and Stage Manager of the Senior Play. Also in her Senior year she was elected as a Candlelighter. Leslie's likes are many. Among them are any kind of goodies, shrimp, her little sister, long vacations, getting mail, old cars that rattle, dreamy music, and sneezing. Her dislikes are saying good bye, stones in her shoes, gnats and thousand leggers, and study- ing for exams during vacations. Leslie has two pet peeves. They are crooked pic- tures on walls and slow walkers in crowded depart- ment stores. Leslie is undecided in her vocation and her college choice but whatever it is we know she will be a success.

With picnic baskets packed full and two school station wagons loaded to the top, the fifth grade started their annual trip to Schoenbrunn in October to begin their study of pioneers around which their year's work centers in geography, history, reading, and art. Other highlights of fifth grade life were their swimming program for both boys and girls at the Y.W.C.A.g their Art Museum trip and Seiberling Rubber Company visit to study their own city, their outstanding performance of the play, The Proud Princess, which was performed for both Upper School and Lower School Assemblies and parents to earn money for the Assembly Room drapes. Near the end of the year fifth and sixth grades always take a three-day train trip together to some outstand- ing place of interest as the Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to see an industrial city. All such trips add much to the experience of living together in fifth grade. 54 5 5 Ax, ms..

New experiences for our fourth grade this year include learning cursive writing and writing in ink, taking part in our first Candlelight Service, and attending our first Childrenls Concert. In the fall, we each made a science notebook. We drew pictures of different classes of animals and gave a description of their structure. For the all-school Thanksgiving Assembly, we each told part of the story of the first Thanksgiving. At Christmas time, we made all the ornaments for our tree as well as painting a plate as a gift for our parents. In February, we planned an assembly program Celebrating Lincoln's birthday. We told about his life and acted out stories about him. During the year, we drew several maps which showed the early we were studying. In the spring we presented a play which we had written ourselves. 55 5 Ffa ,Lt MT i .

As a correlation with their reading of Tortor and Tristan in French they made some puppets and presented an original puppet show. 56 Dr ,. - ,.,. K -X ' if 'X W' A as ,.y. ,il , , .,.Q' .1 . Lb cn.

If you visited our room during the year, you might have seen us making plaster casts of leaves. We collected many kinds and learned their names. After they were painted and shellacked, they made colorful paperweights and wall plaques. Perhaps you saw our mural, Down the River Road, or one of the experiments we made when we studied the weather. You might have been surprised to see us playing games in French, composing a song for Music, or wrapping the handsome wooden trays we made in Shop for Christmas presents. Or you might have seen our play about Indians and cowboys called The Lucky Stone. Perhaps you saw us working in committees to plan our model community with its homes and stores, the fire department, airport, and radio-'I'V station. These projects were all important aspects of our work in the Second Grade. 57 1 9 . it E S, ,, ,.,.,f 9ll+5e- ' I ht 5 'J-1 1 y Qc f l, .K s, ,S'?,,l DN V 4 K 1 , . W xsaiilmis.

Free time is used in creative work such as block-building, painting, playing in the sand, and playing house. 58 C-Q we .5-lf,i MORNING KINDERGARTEN Seated: Billy Lame, Stephen Landerfeld, Bobby Nield, Eddy Bahcox, Martha Poole, Billy Lambert, Bobby Brubaker, Pam Walker, Hank Rosenfeld, Philip Haas, Chris Walker, Tinya Hall, Peggy Sceitzinger, Joey Hutchinson, Walt Silver, Chris Calvin.

The committees, each one a porthole that looks out into a vast area, each of an entirely different field, give the students a sense of sharing together our demo- cratic standards, of participating in the high ideals of the school, and a greater sense of responsibility. At the beginning of the school year, each upper schcol student is placed on the committee of her choice. Each committee has a facultv advisor and a chairman who is elected by the committee, The committees are allowed to set up their own standards and laws while the Student Council promotes the activities and keeps the commit- tees all working together and for each other. The work of each committee is to organize and be responsible for a specific activity. Thus, each girl realizes the important part she plays in our school through her active participation on her own committee. VX A Q! 12,7 STUDENT COUNCIL Seated: Miss Courtney, Ann Rowley, Judy Bear.
