23 STRONG FUTURE HOPE FRESHMAN NEWS Twenty-three new girls and boys entered Smith Academy last September to begin their Freshman year in high school. They elected as their class officers, Carl Wendoloski, president; Jane Dugal, vice-president: Sylvia Raffa, secretary and Judy Ryan, treasurer. Student council representative is- Fred Belden. Mr. Cassidy was unanimously chosen to act as class advisor. Because all the Frosh boys went out for basket- ball, it was decided to have them make up a sep- arate team. The boys did well in all their games, winning eight and losing six. Mr. Symancyk coached them and their classmates hope that next season some of them will make the Junior Varsity. For playing such fine basketball this year, the class awarded each player a Frosh letter. The girls, too, have a good team. It is hoped by all that next year the girls will make up a second team for Smith Academy. The Freshman Dance was held on April 14th at the Memorial Town Hall, with Ray Black ' s Orchestra furnishing the music for dancing. A wishing well was placed in the center of the floor and pennies were thrown in and wishes made. Colors for decorations were mostly green, white and purple. White letters spelling out FROSH were set against the stage. With all Freshmen do- ing their best to help, the dance was a great success.

Student Council STUDENT COUNCIL On September 9, the Student Council mem- bers met to elect officers for the year. These were: John Barrett, president; Phyllis Kochan, vice president; Bernard Saydlowski, secretary- treasurer. The other members who dedicated their time unselfishly to the Council affairs were Mary Belden, Donald Jandzinski, Fred Belden and Thomas Prucnal. The first matter to be discussed by the Student Council was the magazine campaign, which was sponsored successfully by this group again this year. The proceeds were used for many purposes during the year. A large part of the sum was used to purchase a radio-phonograph combina- tion for the school. This equipment is a decided addition to our many audio-visual aids. Acting on the suggestion of several members of the faculty, the Student Council sponsored a contest to find a name and an emblem for the athletic teams. This undertaking was not success- ful. However, a name may be found by next bas- ketball season. After the last basketball game before Christ- mas, the Council held a party, to which the San- derson Academy basketball team was invited. Re- freshments served during the evening consisted of sandwiches, cocoa and cookies. The Student Council has enjoyed a fairly suc- cessful year, during which many problems have been introduced and solved.
