CIRCLE Circam of the C rojj The Circle is the Paul D. Schreiber High School chapter of the National Honor Society. It is what its name implies—an honor society from every point of view. Membership is based upon scholarship, service, character, and leadership. Membership in Circle is the highest honor a student can attain in Port High. New members were selected and initiated twice during the year at which times an impressive candle- light ceremony was held. This year a social evening was held monthly with entertaining programs planned by a program chairman. The pause that refreshes was expertly taken care of by a refreshment chair- man. Charles Savini, President, and Carol Driscoll, Vice President, along with Ann Guerry, Secretary, and Florence Nacht, Treasurer, kept the club running ef- ficiently. Mr. Merrill, who had sponsored the Circle since its beginning in Port was the club's adviser until February when he retired. Mr. Kezar was then se- lected by the Circle to replace him. At graduation a silver cup was awarded by the Circle to the high school student who had maintained the highest scholastic average for the year. The Na- tional Honor Society annually awards scholarships to its members. This year ten Circle members competed with members from other branches of the National Honor Society throughout the country. All in all, Circle was bigger and better than ever this year. HONOR STUDY HALL Florence Nacht

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
