Dear Friends of l95O, It is with real regret that I say Goodbye to the class of 1950. I have known many of you intimately through the years, and shall miss the association with you which has always been so pleasant. You have made an enviable record for scholarship, leader- ship and character. I am sure, as you leave us for broader fields ot training and service, that you will maintain these same high standards of character and achievement. My active interest and good wishes go with you, always. Sincerely yours, ...wr G3 MW

12B STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS To promote unity of school spirit, pupil support of activities, and to serve the school in every possible way is the purpose of the Student Council. Active membership consists of one representative from each homeroom, who presents the problems or ques- tions of each homeroom and in turn reports the decisions of the council. Seated Harold Gatewood, president Standing Ianet Smith, vice-president Frank Ba lis, treasurer Carolyn Slirland, secretary, .F-wx Each representative is required to W, serve on one of the standing commit- tees: athletic, social service, club, pro- ject, publicity, social, or lost and found. Part of its regular program consists of attending the meetings of the Phila- delphia Suburban Student Council Association and the New Castle County Student Council Association, where problems common to all the member schools are discussed. The giving of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets occupies a perma- nent place on the calendar. This year, baskets brought cheer and holiday greetings to thirty-three families at Thanksgiving and fourteen families at Christmas. For the needy all over the world, the Council sent one hundred and four Red Cross boxes, Another job of the Council is to maintain a budget. This is done by sponsoring various activities, for ex- ample, the annual sale of Student Association tickets brings in the lar- gest single collection. School dances and various sports are other sources of revenue. These projects could not be carried out if the Council did not have the undi- vided support of the students. Those of us who were members of the Student Council feel that we not only were of service to the school, but that We gained valuable exper- ience necessary in our future lives.
