It,s membership has greatly increased since people found the activities both varied and extremely interesting. Selected films on education were shown each month in addi- tion to having several speakers. Mr. Selinger started the year by speaking on the Mass Media and how it affects our educa- tion. The Student Teachers spoke in December about the col- leges they were attending and the required education courses for teaching. The annual Christmas Party for Head-Start children which the members planned, was held on December 19. The party was a gTeat success for the children and FTA members alike. They organized the Faculty Talent show which was presented for the Seniors in January and revealed many of our teacherst hidden talents. The Forensic Society is not the only debate club in the school. PTA members held their own inner-school debates discussing teaching problems. They started the policy of vis- iting colleges in the surrounding area to see the different methods of teaching in college in comparison to high school teaching. They also worked out an exchange program with neighboring schools, so that those interested could see var- ious types of high school education.

One of the most difficult and sometimes depressing tasks in the school is that of student government. The ulti- mate goal of all Student Council organizations is to work as closely as possible with both administrators and stu- dents for the benefit of everyone in P-W. Its a goal which needless to say has not yet been realized. This is not to say that Student Council was inactive this year. Council got off to a good start by sponsoring the years first pep-rally. For those that remember, a thunder- storm caused an liafter the last minute change, and ev- eryone went back inside. At least give Council credit for knowing to come in out of the rain. This pep-rally was in- dicative of a very rocky October and November. It seemed that Council was always up against one difficulty or another. Towards December, things settled down enough for Council to start getting things done. Besides running bus- es to basketball games and sponsoring dances, Council prepared an extensive report on the study hall situation, and spent a great deal of time trying to improve conditions in the I.M.C. Crusades for student rights and an end t vandalism were also taken up. The most significant thing that Council did was to shift its emphasis away from paper drives and bake sales an toward a greater concern with student policies. It is hope that this will set a precedent for the future. This years Council can best be described as being the initial link in . long chain of increasing liberalization in the schools. Th task of the Council in the following years will be made eas- ier because of this.
