STUDENT COUNCIL general organization The purpose of the G. O. is to better the school as a whole and the students as individuals. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Hendrickson, and President Joe Easano, Veep Wally Hyde, Secretary Betty Nicholson, and Treas- urer Jim McNamara, the G. O. has become a clearing house for Senior High problems. Its first important task of the year, successfully com- pleted by a financial committee, headed by Jim McNamara, was the selling of the G. O. tickets. Its next job was the planning of the annual pep rally before the first football game of the year. Because of premature celebrations, the rally was held in the auditorium this year. Many council members attended the meetings of the Nassau League of Student Councils. The representatives returned enthusiastic about exchanging ideas and opinions with students from other schools. They reported to the Council those they considered applicable to Port. As the G. O. found itself with many new topics to dis- cuss, but with little time in which to do so, a steering com- mittee was formed. This consisted of the four G. O. officers and several other outstanding students. They met daily during fourth period and attacked the more pressing issues: the changing of the G. O. ticket to include more and better activities; the changing of our electoral system to eliminate the popularity contest; and the arousing of student interest and participation in the various clubs and school activities. The steering committee brought a summary of their ideas to the G. O., and the Student Council acted upon its sug- gestions. The G. O. also worked with Red Domino, the Athletic Department, The Port Weekly, and the Music Department in their activities. Among the important, successful projects given by the G. O. were the Christmas Dance and the President s Ball. MICHAEL McGRADY » y Ted Ko ✓ 10
