ORGANIZATIONAL STUDENT COUNCIL EXPANDS ROLE One of the outstanding contributions made by the Organizational Student Council this year was the in- valuable assistance it provided in organizing and ad- ministrating Homecoming ,68. This is one example of how the O.S.C. has built school spirit through co- ordinating clubs in a unified effort. The role of the council is by no means limited to club activities. An entirely new project was the Stu- dent Directory, an initiative that will hopefully be con- tinued in the future. Without question the council's most popular effort was the adoption of an orphan from a foreign country. Funds were raised by the council to support the child throughout the year. These firsts have helped S.P.F.H.S. more effectively fulfill its responsibilities not only to the students, but to the community as well. 5 It-t-t was r-rr-really gr-great. R-Rick Tirrell. 167

,f,,,7 w ' REPRESENTATIVE STUDENT COUNCIL ONE OF THE BEST IN NEW JERSEY The Representative Council, composed entirely of students, has involved itself in every facet of school and community life. Its members have worked diligently to organize and establish activi- ties which have made our Student Council one of the best in New Jersey. This yearls plans included a safe driving cam- paign, active support of New Jersey Bond Issues, letters to United States soldiers in Viet Nam, and the building of a Peace Corps school in South America. Besides these service projects the coun- cil sponsored several movies and a computer dance. To strengthen communications between the stu- dents and council, W.S.P.F., a morning radio pro- gram was instituted. An intensive school spirit campaign was initi- ated this year with the formation of a Boys, and Girls' Pep Club, a Homecoming Weekend, and the revision of the Watchung Conference Sportsman- ship Award. .-, zziisnf ' rri. 2- f As Carol Skiba talks on and on and on . . . a new high.

STUDENT COUNCIL SPGNSORS HOMECOMING 1968 This year, in addition to sponsoring the tradi- tional Student Council program, the 1968-69 Stu- dent Council initiated many new activities and events. This year in place of two regularly scheduled canteens, the Council showed two popular movies, To Sir With Love and BTO Kill A Mockingbirdf' They also sponsored a safe driving campaign in which the students washed car windshields and handed out flyers reminding people of the im- portance of safe driving. Fund raising activities were held to support a big name band concert in the outdoor stadium and the building of a Peace Corps School in an underdeveloped nation. Undoubtedly, the most important event spon- sored by this year's Student Council was Home- coming 1968. This year through much planning and hard work the dream of last year became a reality. A parade of club floats, the election of a Homecoming Queen, and a very successful Home- coming Dance culminated weeks of preparation for this outstanding first. The Student Council of 1968-69 has reason to be proud of its accomplishments. They planned activities with all students in mind, to allow them to gain the most from what our school had to offer. It is hopeful that in years to come all activities ini- tiated this year will become an integral part of S.P.F.H.S.
