The Junior Red Cross has had a busy year. On November 9, the club spon- sored a waist-line dance to earn money. Because of the success of the dance many boxes of school sup- plies were sent to needy children overseas. Checker b o a r d s and games were made and sent to the Veteran's Hospital. Later, the Red Cross and the Future Nurses's visited a hospital to observe the work accomplished by the Red Cross. In December the group held a fund drive. The drive was a huge success as the JUNIOR RED CROSS quota exceeded that of pre- vious years. In February, a Sweet- hearts dance was held for the 7th and 8th grades. This dance was another attempt to raise funds for the Red Cross. NATIONAL I-IONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society experienced a re- warding year. The group operated the bookstore as a service to the students and also computed averages which aided the teachers. The group, in an attempt to further cultural interests in our school, sponsored a trip to Klein- hans for an evening of George Gershwin's music. For the benefit of those attending the concert, the Honor Society prepared two classes. The pur- pose of the instruction was to acquaint the stu- dents with Gershwin's background and the back- ground of the pieces performed. Under the di- rection of Mr. Sylves, the group plans to initiate other cultural interests. In the spring an impressive induction ceremony was held for new members. Being an active member of the group pro- vided the student with rewarding experiences and improvement in the fields expressed in the car- dinal principles: Character, Leadership, Scholar- ship, and Service.

The profit received this year was 31,386 Functioning in its purpose of benefiting Star- point and the student body, the Student Council planned and carried out projects of interest and importance to all. A contest for the design for our school flag was held. Six of the best designs were chosen and submitted to the Board of Education, which made the final decision. As a service to the students, the group oper- ated the clothing store where gym clothes and other Starpoint clothing could be purchased. A1- so the Student Council sponsored a variety of paid assemblies throughout the year. An improvement was made on the annual Skit Day this year. All the skits centered around one idea or theme. The contest was carried out in two assemblies: one for the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades and another for the 7th, Sth, and 9th grades. One winner was picked from the con- tending classes. Among its other activities, the Student Council bought advertising space in the yearbook. The Student Council will continue to grow in importance as a governing body only through a deeper respect from the student body. STARTIMES STAFF The Startimes, the school newspaper, has been edited for five years. During this time it has provided the school with a monthly ac- count of important events and has added a touch of humor to the everyday hap- penings. The newspaper staff worked very hard on a spe- cial Senior Issue which was published the second week of June. This issue con- tained an exclusive inter- view with each member of the Class of 1963. It gave the Seniors an opportunity to discuss their hopes and plans for the future. One of the main attractions of this issue was the section includ- ing candid photos of Sen- iors. The Startimes has been valuable in acquainting all the students with their school and their fellow stu- dents.
