The student council has rounded out one of its better years in the line of school spirit. Backed by a group of officers willing to go so far as to rig themselves up in the dress of the opposite sex and parade before the spectators at a half-time period during one of our basket bail games. This year is one of which the student council may be proud. Whether the so-called style show could be called a draw- ing card or not, it at least proved the council's school spirit, and certainly was not a flop. The P.A. system sounded their encouraging call for at- tendance to all sporting events throughout the year and certainly the call was heard, because it produced the big- gest and peppiest pep rally this school has ever experi- enced. Participation by every home room evidenced the full cooperation of the Student Council. Two fine editions of School Spirit by the Student Council no doubt had the intended effect on the student body. The homecoming week's success was largely due to the student council's spirited drive. And as the spring brought back baseball they were at it again and many found out for the first time that this great American pastime was also another one of Pensa- cola High School's outstanding competition firsts. r Student Council's Pep Rally pays off in boosting School Spirit as stu- dents cheer Tigers to 14-0 victory in Tiger Stadium.

Homerooms representatives to the Student Council listen to fellow members give reports on various committee projects of the council. Sprydon Sakelis, the Student Council's adopted, foster child is a Greek high school boy of fourteen, living in Knossas, Greece. He is one of the student council's most prized projects. The past council's adopted child became eighteen last year and was no longer eligible for this program. It became this councils job to select a new foster child from the rec- ommendation of Foster Parents Inc. Sprydon needed no long discussion or arguments on his side. He is of a fatherless home supported solely by the small government pension and by renting part of the home given them at his father's death in the revolution. He is one of a family of three children of which one brother is away from home and the other attends a Greek Orthodox Seminary. An interesting note in the home life of the Sakelis family is the extent to which this humble home shelters not only the two boys and their mother as well as the renters but also his Grandmother and two Aunts. He supports the house on about twenty dollars monthly income. Pensacola High provides for his essentials, nine dollars a month plus clothes, and vitamin enriched foods for his own improved living. The money comes from the charity drive which had a goal this year of $2200.00. Sprydon will welcome more pen-pals and your Student Council Representative will be glad to furnish his full address.

Honor Society Aim: To Foster Fourfold Development Plan NATIONALI— HONOR -SOCIETT , I Stanley Adams, John Bennett, Ann Berkshire, Marilyn Berry, Ingrid Black, Nancy Bogess, Bobby Boyett, Morris Bird, Sandra Cheatham, Jane Colt, Joe Eldridge, Mary Lou Esders, Nora Eskin, Arnold Eskin, Gwynn Floyd, Jeanne Freeman, Dorothy Ann Gilmore, Martha Green. The National Honor Society is founded on the principle that true education creates a well-rounded personality in the development of the character of the individual and in his relations to those around him. Therefore, students who are building in their school life this fourfold foundation of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, are hon- ored by membership in the National Honor Society. A special faculty committee selects the members at Pensacola High School. In nominating the candidates, the committee ascertains that the student is of good character, that he has at least a B average, that he properly displays leadership abilities at school and at home, and that he is a member of two school-sponsored clubs. Only ten per cent of the seniors can become members. Upon induction, each student elig- ible for membership pledges to build a strong character in himself and others, to further the advancement of schol- arship, to carry aloft the torch of leadership, and to serve his school, his community, and his country in the interests of humanity. John Bennett, President; Druwando Woolam, Vice President; Susan Jacobson, Secretary; and Ann Berkshire, Treasurer, pose for a picture.
