Seated: Edward Moskowitz, Faculty; CLUB COUNCIL The function of the Club Council was to co-ordinate all the activities of the more than forty clubs at Rhodes. Under the advisorship of Miss Torrusio, the Council did just that this year. Composed of one representative from every club, the Council elects an Executive Board. This select group (whose picture is seen above) works closely with the Faculty nd Administration to help all clubs at Rhodes develop their programs to the highest degree possible. Another function of the Council is the formation of new clubs. This we ve — year's addition to the club picture at Rhodes was the Fencing Club, which, thanks largely to the developmental work done by the Council, was a rollicking success. The Council held food sales and other fund-raising functions in order to give the clubs a tre asury from which funds could be drawn for expenses in the line of the clubs’ activities. The Council sponsored guest speakers at school, as well as films of general interest to the student body. A great deal of debate took place over the proper function of a body such as the Council. Internal reorganization was decided upon, and the Council plans to do just that next year. With this new organizational plan, plus plans for a revival of the old traditional Club Council Carnival, 1966 appears to be a challenging and exciting year for the Council. 70

RHODES TER Faced with nine months in which to produce a finished product, the staff of the Yearbook felt complacent in the cushion of time. Nine months later, the frenzy was as pronounced as if there were a deadline only one day away. The planning sessions early in the year were the forum for a host of novel, perhaps revolutionary, ideas. The idea to move the club pictures outdoors to complement the theme of the book was accepted as a fine way to enliven this large section. The result obviously justifies the extra effort. Hysteria, a touch of which is deposited in every human at birth, was brought to the surface in great measure as the deadline neared. The proverbial shortage of pictures and copy did not afflict the staff this year as writers Jeffrey Weiss and William Mandel and photographers Russell Reif and Michael Messinger labored full-time for nine months. The only problem was the co-ordination of the literally hundreds of pictures and the more than twenty thousand words of copy. A guiding light amidst this turmoil was Mrs. Joanna Nicholson. She gave of her private time and effort to help the editors turn out this Yearbook. The tribulations that were faced were minor when compared to the satisfaction one feels when he sees the fruit of his labors bound up in a pure white cover. The staff feels that the year of work was worth the sustained effort, despite the continued minor annoyances of loss of material, cramped working conditions, lack of a staff room, and a dearth of time in which to meet. The effort that goes into a publication the size of the Rhodester, which is actually small as yearbooks go, is enormous. Long hours and little sleep are the price you pay-to se e your name in twelve point type on the staff page; however, the staff is unanimous in its agreement that the pride of a job well done nullifies all hardships. 69
