Key Club This year the ranks of the Key Club were swelled to a membership of twenty-five, which is the max- imum for a school of our size. The first important activity of the club was the UNICEF drive. Every boy in the organization did his part to make a suc- cess of this project for the relief of needy children in all lands. Also the club sponsored several re- cord hops which were enjoyable and successful fi- nancially. Key Club officers for the year were Lawrence Schiner, president; Frank DeVincentis, vice presi- dent; Richard Meagher, treasurer; and Stephen Young, secretary. Jared Fitzgerald was elected lieutenant-governor of District 11 Key Club. Mr. Elliott Small was again the adviser.

Student Council Officers The Student Council continues as a strong and active organization under the guidance of the faculty adviser, Mr. Stuart Crapser. This fall, copies of the Scituate High School Handbook, which was prepared by the 1955-56 Council, were distributed to students for the first time. One of the biggest projects of the Council for the current year was the purchasing and awarding of jackets to sen- iors who qualified for their letters in athletics. The officers of the Student Council for 1956- 1957 were David Buckley, president; Jared Fitz- Gerald, vice president; Veronica Leone, secretary; and Nancy Oliver, treasurer. The fall convention at Norton, Massachusetts was attended by four senior and two junior delegates. Other representatives attended the spring convention at Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
