Since then, its members and its committees have really worked to make the student council an organization for the school to be proud of. Among its achievements have been the teenage canteen, the open house, and the raising of a suffi- cient sum of money to support an Italian orphan. The council is composed of two elected represen- tatives from each homeroom and four officers elected by the entire school after a week of hectic campaign- ing. lt meets every Monday afternoon in Mr. Gra- ham's room, the eighth period. The council at the beginning of this year immediately formed seven major committees. The committees and their accom- plishments are as follows: The Open House Committee secured the use of the school every Saturday night through petitions to the Board of Education. This committee worked with the Recreation Commission and planned things so well that not a drop of available space in the school was wasted during Open House. There was swimming in the pool, sports in the gym, dancing and refreshments in the cafeteria, ping-pong in the lower halls and games in the first floor rooms. The Assembly Committee gave P.H.S. a well balanced assembly program for the year. The many assemblies included paid Broadway talent, scien- tific demonstrations, group singing and short skits put on by the students. The Student-Faculty Committee fostered better relationships between students and teachers. Some projects of the committee were the revision of the Honor Roll system and the obtaining of an insignia for the Debate Team. The Dance Committee planned and supervised numerous dances during the year. This committee not only added to the social life of P.H.S., but also showed that successful dances are not a rarity. The Television Committee obtained a Television Set for the school. This set was used in both Open House and during the school day. Many a student's knowledge of world affairs was broadened by watching the United Nations meetings. and many a sports fan was thrilled by the telecasts of the major league baseball games. The Constitution Committee offered many sug- gestions for the bettennent of the Student Govern- mental system, and a plan for the revision of the school treasury. The Senior Week Committee organized a week of fun and frolic for the Seniors. This was the first year that Senior Week was attempted and the re- sults indicate that a Senior Week will be held in P.H.S. for years to come. The Council also has been represented at the meetings of the Westchester County Association of Student Councils. This year's officers are: President, Bernard Yudowitzp Vice-president, Christine Iohnsoni Secre- tary, Patricia Buchanan: Treasurer, Caroline Craig. The advisor of the council is Mr. Graham. 1.11.

I Speak for Democracy The Four Winners at Peekskill r On November 10, 1950, the Sectional elimi- nations of the I Speak for Democracy Contest were held for the second year at P.H.S. This national contest is sponsored by the National Iunior Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from thirteen schools in the Peekskill Area par- ticipated. From the thirteen speakers, four were chosen as finalists who later spoke over W.L.N.A. The four were Richard Tasjian of Mahopac, Edward Gorman of North Tarrytown, William Tyler of Washington Irving, and Iohn Graulich of Peekskill. Of these four, Iohn Graulich was chosen as the winning speaker. A recording of Iohn's speech was made and sent to Buffalo to be entered in the New York State contest. When the champion of New York State was announced, it was, for the second straight year, none other than Iohn Graulich. As a reward for his accomplishment he traveled to Buffalo, received a General Electric Tele- vision set, and was guest speaker at a dinner held there. From Buffalo, Iohn's recording traveled to Washington, D. C., where it was entered in the National contest. The nation was divided into thirteen sections and once again Iohn came out on top in his section and was declared one of the thirteen finalists in the entire United States and its territories. Thus to Mr. Albert Swank, Iohn's speaking instructor, goes credit for another name on the long list of champions he has coached. The Directors Off to the Alleys
