Wise Acres Producing Wise Acres was hectic and fun! Helene Zimmerman, our editor, will long be remembered for her hard work. As the staff hustled with art work, literary contributions, photographs, advertisements, and the general work of compiling and organizing material, a spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm grew among us. We, the staff, hope that our spirit has given you a better yearbook. Student Council Margie Martin, president of Student Council; Jill Mehlin, president of the senior class; Helene Zimmerman, representative of the senior class; Monica Moran, president of the freshman class; and Beth Higgins, representative of the freshman class, have comprised our governing body this year. These middle men between students and administration have listened to our problems and have done their best to solve them while keeping in mind the welfare of all. Music Club Under Betsy Gruber’s direction, this year’s Music Club tackled its object of developing greater music appreciation by listening to records of classical music and show tunes and by organizing an extensive library of good records for the school. In addition, the club widened its musical horizons by attending many community concerts in the Philadelphia area. 20

Glee Club Our Glee Club, directed by Miss Shirk, gave us a beautiful Christmas recital and some joyous singing at the spring concert, plus adding to the merriment of May Day. With the wheels kept smoothly running by president Jill Mehlin, Glee Club’s talented singers provided fine entertainment to the not-so-talented segment of the student body. The Harvester Thanks to our contributing editors; to the artistic abilities of Judy Hirtle; to Margie Martin’s critical eye; to the perseverance of our all-night typists, Molly Jackson and Helene Zimmerman; and, last but not least, to the office staff, we managed to roll off several good issues of The Harvester. Social Service Making Christmas decorations to cheer hospital patients and planting window boxes in Philadelphia were two of the worthwhile activities planned for Social Service Club members by their president, Dottie Thomas. Members prepared baskets bulging with food for needy families both at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Each contained a frozen turkey purchased with money earned at the riotous clothing auction sponsored by the club. 21
