Hun ers Anonym us ' I I I S l 1 1 G.A.C. PROVIDES YEAR ROUND INTRAMURALS The Girls' Athletic Council, G.A.C., has had a busy year in their world of sports. The council, under the direction of Miss Birkins and Miss Pan- tano, sponsored all intramural sports from tennis and flag football to co-ed gymnastics and volley- ball. Sports activities were scheduled throughout but additional projects were planned such nnual sock-hop and the alumni crash in for past members of G.A.C. and the Club. The girls and advisors culminated the presentation of physical fitness skill awards at their annual banquet. 'WMV Sli L GIRLS TAKE THE LEAD Working as an arm of the girls' physical education department, the Girls' Leaders Club performs many services for S.P.F.H.S. The members' main purpose is to assist gym teachers in directing classes, conducting make-up gym classes, giving and correcting written and skill tests, and assisting at events sponsored by the physical education department. Besides their service activities, the Leaders Club held its annual progressive dinner and auction which helped to raise money for the club. As a culmination to a great year, the Girls' Leaders Club, under the guidance of Miss Wilber and in cooperation with the Girls' Athletic Council, sponsored the annual Awards Dessert in June.

STAGE CREW TAKES BIG ROLE IN SCHOOL PRODUCTIONS The Stage crew plays an important role in all assemblies and dramatic productions held at our school. Under the leadership of the officers and faculty advisor, Mr. Davidson, the stage crew is responsible for all lighting and sound effects necessary on the stage. The Junior and Senior Class Produc- tions are their greatest responsibilities and Without the hard-working Stage Crew, the success of these annual productions would not be possible.

PROJECTION SQUAD SERVES SCHOOL The Projection Squad, alias the AV Squad, has served our school from the day we bought our first filmstrip to the present. Each succes- sive year demands more services, and each successive year produces a better squad. This year's squad was one of the finest and most highly trained Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School has seen. This is due mainly to Mr. Smith, the AV Coordinator, Mrs. Thayer, his secretary, and the able assistance of the club officers.

Help I'm stuck! Ellen Bright. GYNINASTS CREATE ORIGINAL ROUTINES The uneven parallel bars, the ropes, the rings and the horse may look forbidding to a sophomore gym class, but to the Gymnastics Club, they are a unique and satisfying form of physical recreation. Under the skillful coach- ing of Miss Wilber and Mr. Formichella, many of the talented gymnasts at S.P.F.H.S. have participated in this extracurricular activity, per- fecting basic skills and creating original rou- tines on the gymnastic equipment, MODERN DANCE DISPLAYS UNIQUE ART FORM Every Monday night when the school has stood darkened for hours, the gym lights flash on and centered on the floor are 30 figures, spinning, leaping, contracting, and extending -this is Modern Dance. But Modern Dance is not only the outward movementsg it is the inward feelings that motivate these movements as well. For 11 years the group has met to give any interested and eligible students a taste of this art form. The club is sponsored by G.A.C. and advised by Miss Birkins. In May of each year they share their inter- est with fellow students by performing in an assembly. When they have performed their dances and the audience has understood and appreciated them . . . then they have reached their goal! Debbie Brower comes in for a hard landing
