Tragedy Through the National Honor Society, recognition is given to students who have realized the funda- mental obiectives for which a school is instituted. To the Honor Society, education is not excellence in one field but the product of achievement in four dimensions of life: leadership, character, scholarship, and service. The honor accorded to membership in this society lends a serious tone to each induction. For the students and faculty of OHHS, the ceremony of November 22, 1963, will hold special signi- ficance. For at the time students of Oxon Hill re- ceived acknowledgement for leadership, character, scholarship, and service, the President of the United States had been robbed of these same qualities. The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy carved an unfillable hole in the pride of the nation, and sadness and uncertainty encom- passed the American people. The thoughts of an entire school and an entire nation rested on the horror of the event, as in tragedy they were united. First row Z Waters M Ruchwarger S Stornmel K Rasch M Todd D. Bailey, M.

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Seated: treasurer Linda Banister, recording secretary Suzie Rodriguez, corresponding secretary Miriam Ruchwarger, vice president Cathy Boswell, standing: parliamentarian David Chance, president Donald Kester. The Student Council provides liaison between the students and the administration. At the weekly meetings representatives from each homeroom discuss projects and policies concerning school govern- ment. Recommendations are submitted to the administration for dis- cussion and resolution. Decisions are then relayed to the represent- atives, who report to their homerooms. The Student Council sponsors several social and fund-raising activities such as the Sadie Hawkins Dance, held November 27. Under the auspices of Marryin' Sam, many couples were united in holey matrimony. They celebrated with doughnuts, cotton candy, and apple cider from an authentic barrel. A foot-stompin' hootenanny ended the dance. Later in the year, the Student Council organizes the Christmas Dance and the spring Carnival.
