The officers this year are Eugene Cohen, president: Edward Stewart, vice-president: Barbara Prouty. secre- tary: and Charles Mitchell, treasurer. The mem- bers include Susan Anderson. Lois Merritt, James Milroy. Anne Nitzsche, Scott Roberts, Gene Cohen and Charles Mitchell, seniors; Jack Kettell, Richard Clapp, Barbara Prouty and Ed- ward Stewart, juniors: Aram Brazilian, Eliza- beth Grassie and Neil Towle, sophomores; and Thomas Whittaker and Gladys Clapp, freshmen. Robert Stewart is the representative from Grade 8 and Anne Gardner from Grade 7. In the Student Council we have several com- mittees to plan for dances, assemblies, and ways of raising money. James Milroy is chairman of the Ways and Means committee; Lois Merritt, chairman of the S. A. Dance committee. Other committees are Special Assemblies committee, Lois Merritt, chairman; Football Rallies, Susan Anderson, chairman; and Attendance committee, Barbara Prouty, chairman. In October the council sold S. H. S. football pins. We sent delegates and representatives to the Student Council convention at Sharon in November. This year the council has particularly stressed the requirement that only students who have earned athletic letters have the honor of wearing them. If people wear unearned letters, it takes the glory and honor away from the students who really earn them. Again as last year the Student Council held a school loyalty week in March for the purpose of fostering school spirit and showing the true meaning of school loyalty. During the week stu- dents wore insignia and entered essay and poster contests. The climax of the week was the S. A. Dance at which a large crowd gathered. The Student Council welcomes any sugges- tions, problems, or questions from the student body.

PRO MERITO Muriel Nichols, ' 51 ' I HE Pro Merito Society held their first meet- ing early in September for the purpose of electing officers. Those chosen to hold office were James Milroy, Imperator; Fannie Whorf, Ductor: Sheila Brigham, Scriba; Harold Mc- Avenia, Praefectus Aerarii. On March 7 a special induction service was held for the purpose of admitting three new members: Barbara Crowell, Mary Fisher, and Muriel Nichols. Entertainment and a social hour followed the ceremony. The entertainment, which everyone enjoyed, was as follows: After two sel- ections by the Dance Kings orchestra, Bertie Jean Walker sang two solos, I See Your Face Before Me and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. Next followed a tap dance by Jackie White. Mike Forlman sang The Lord ' s Prayer and Pat- ricia. He was joined by Anne Nitzsche in Moonlight and Roses. All were accompanied by Lois Merritt. The program ended by two more selections by the Dance Kings. The Pro Merito society has accomplished a great deal since the chapter was organized three years ago. The society is a symbol in itself, which inspires students to qualify for admittance. In May another induction will be held for the qualifying members of the class of 1952.
