SURVEYORS Even WONDER who had the tremendous job of taking care of assemblies-the dates, programs, seating, and division of group one and two? XVell, it's our own Student Council under the direction of Miss Katherine Megibben. Every semester elections are held for the officers. Then representatives from homerooms and clubs are chosen. Meeting every week, the Student Council has published the student handbook and visitor cards, and has supervised fire drills, a ping pong tournament, cafeteria and campus cleanups, intramural sports activi- ties, and the receiving of Student Council pins. Being a member of the National and Southern Associations of Student Councils, delegates at- tended the Dade County Student' Council Federation Meeting on March 15. 76 + Top: the first semesteris officers and cabinet, seated left to right: Bertha Moore, secretary of treasury, Nell Champion, chaplain, Barbara Fos- gate, secretary of publicity, jackie Cieger, re- cording secretary, Anne Ellis, corresponding secretary.

THEY RATE - WITH HONORS ONE OF Tl-IE HIGHEST HONORS that can be bestowed upon a Ponceite is to be tapped into the National Honor Society, and later be initiated. Students warranting membership must have an eighty-seven average, be passed by the vote of the faculty and members of the club, and be outstanding in leadership, scholarship, character, and service. The N.H.S. pin, the keystone with the flaming torch, symbolizes these qualities. Founded in 1927 at Ponce and meeting twice a semester, this branch of the club has Principal H. N. Rath and Mrs. Edith Mason as sponsors. ln the upper picture left to right 'first row: McQuaide, Denning, Vance, Meyers, Ellis, Mitchell, Geiger, Sullivan, Mixson, Shaver, XVeiland, Virrick.
