PORT WEEKLY STAFF This year the Port Weekly enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in its twenty-eight years of existence. Twenty-nine editions were published to serve its public, the student body, faithfully. Eeveral new features were introduced; for instance, the Mystery Baby, Player of the Week, and various other innovations. Much credit for these improvements should be given to the editor-in-chief, Nancy Pickett; the associate editors, Barry Wood, Joan Houghton, Martha Sykes, and Anne Guerry; and to the competent seventy-six member staff, supervised by Mr. Macintosh. Special recognition should be given to Barbara Brind- ley, who kept our society news up to date with her column. Sergeant Week-End's adven- tures in Port. Staff editors, Anne Loveland, Marlene Kiupel, Nancy Cunningham, Charles Lewis, and Peter Krayeski also rate cheers for their efficiency. Highlights of the year included the successful Artist Colony Ball; special issues; the dedication of the January 29 issue to our retired principal, Mr. William F. Merrill; and the attendance at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference by several staff mem- bers. One of the most active clubs in school, the Port Weekly is a five day job for all its workers. On Monday assignments are given out, and the layout is completed; Tuesday, Staff meetings are held; Wednesday, the fourth period, instruction on the fundamentals of high school journalism is given to all staff members; Thursday, the paper is proof read at the printer's in Glen Cove; and on Friday assignments are handed in, dummies started; then the cycle is repeated. The student body too, deserves a vote of thanks for without its untiring co-operation, this year's Port Weekly volume would not have been such a success. Nancy Pickett 14

GENERAL ORGANIZATION STEERING COMMITTEE Student Cdouncil If you have a suggestion for school improvement, take it to the Student Council of Port High for this is the student's form of representative government in which everyone has a chance to participate. This year it accomplished many of its aims under the business- like leadership of Fred Drews, the President. Genie Jacoby, as secretary, provided the homerooms with a report on each meeting of the council so that every student would be able to keep up to date on the pro- ceedings of each meeting. An important branch of the Council is the Steering Committee, which consists of the G. O. officers and two representatives from each class. This committee plans the council programs and discusses school prob- lems. Many entertaining assemblies were planned by Leonard Utz, Vice President. He also assisted Fred Drews with his executive duties. Our treasurer, Charlie Lewis, who handles the G. O. finances, sold a great number of G. O. tickets at the beginning of this year. The most important activity of the Council, aside from the successful Christmas dance, was the annual Spring Carnival. The proceeds from this furnish funds for the scholarships awarded at graduation. All these projects could not have been accomplished so suc- cessfully without the helpful advice of Mr. Hendrick- son. Cherry McClure Jane Protzman
