Leaders The Leaders ' Club is comprised of athletically minded girls who have been elected by their own gym classes. In addition to determining the girls sports awards, they arrange the schedule for the intermural basketball competition. At the after¬ school contests, members from classes other than those playing act as referees and scorekeepers. The aims are to develop initiative, skill, respon¬ sibility and sportsmanship as well as to promote class spirit. The Senior Patrol members were appointed to posts after the joint recommendations of Mr. Sisson and a committee from the senior class. Charged with establishing the example for under¬ classmen, they are responsible for setting and maintaining order, not only between periods and in the cafeteria, but also during fire and air raid drills.

For services rendered and honors achieved, the National Honor Society key is affixed. (Noble, Larson, Mr. Sis¬ son, Root, Parmalee, Ineson, Dunai). We, the People, Speak... Now this is our ideal (Donnelly, Edmonds, Mr. Mac.). On Parents ' Night the Student Council, through a public meeting, attempted to explain its organization, responsibilities, and functions. On this occasion it made available to other groups the opportunity to explain their purposes and value to the students. (Here, Secretary Hill reads the minutes of a previous meeting). Honor, Honoris, f. Being a school, it is fitting that SHS should recognize its leaders in achievement, character, service, and student activities. The National Honor Society, Sigma Chapter, is open to students who maintain a B average during the first three years of high school, and also show a controlled mature nature in leadership, character, and service throughout. Selection is made on the basis of record and the recommendations of the faculty. Of our group, only Pat Noble was selected when a Junior. The Student Council is designed to be the sounding board and intermediary between the students and the administration. Composed of class presidents, club leaders, and home room representatives, the group is free to criticise, suggest, plan, and act in the solution of problems confronting the school and pupils. But its strength is derived from the calibre of the representatives selected by the students and therefore is only as effective as they are responsible.

Salve, sum mater tamilias. Dedicated to the study and ' feel of Roman customs, time and effort is expended in drama, painting, poetry. (Edmonds, Sullivan, Noble, Gallant). At our previous meeting ... Convening twice monthly, the group discusses administration, then turns to a project, game, study of ancient Rome, and . . . refreshments. Finis Cornual Opus Arma virumque cano . . . I cry for arms and a man ... not a very good translation but perhaps the reason for so many girls in this most active group with a most active (and popu¬ lar) leader, Mrs. Morse. Chcrchez la Connaissaoce Le cercle achieves extente cordiale with La Belle France through films, records, books, and art to provide the opportunity to use the romance language conversationally. An elaborate French meal, from soupe I ' onione to champagne (grape juice, vintage 1951), closes the year ' s program. Bon jour, Ma ' m ' selle, c ' est Paris parle . . . c ' est Avril en Paris ... the language of international diplomacy, Breton fishers and Norman peasants, luxury in Riviera sunshine, tha left bank and Notre Dame, Cognac, the champagne coun¬ try, and Kennett, Parmalee, Larson, Spulik, Reed, Pomeroy, Kuras, L.
