A rumor started around the school to the effect that the execu- tive board was working on an entirely new system of punishment. After several weeks the plan was presented to the students in their advisers meet- ings. The project turned out to be a system of demerits, which would replace the old point sys- tem. Each girl received a list of proposed offenses and number of demerits for each. After a few revisions and much discussion, the students ac- cepted the new demerit system on a trial basis. The executive board has begun another new policy this year. ln answer to complaints from the students that they knew too little about Stu- dent Government, the executive board put several ideas into practice. There is now a suggestion box in each study hall, the minutes of the executive board meetings are posted, and each class has Nicky Benz, retiring first semester President of the Student Government, hands the gavel to Caco Myers. Every Monday noon the Executive Board has a luncheon meeting in the home economics room. personally visited one executive board meeting. A whole Student Government meeting was open to complaints, and the executive board went into action on them in its next meeting. One of the main complaints has been that there is not enough school spirit at Summit. To remedy this situation the executive board decided to spon- sor a treasure hunt and talent show. When some- one found the treasure on the first day, they hid another, and everyone started hunting again. The second treasure was not found until the last day of the week. The talent show was a great success. Talented girls from all classes auditioned, and about six of the best groups performed in Friday convocation. Prizes were given for the best talent. These examples give some evidence of Summit's progressive Student Government, something to be proud of. SOCIAL COMMITTEE The members of this organization are not per- manent, the chairman of the committee chooses them for individual events. At the beginning of the year some girls are chosen to help the new girls feel at home. The chairman appoints four girls to eat lunch with each college representative who visits Summit. One of the Social Committee's largest jobs is organizing the Christmas and Spring dances. A committee is chosen to manage the technicalities of each dance. All the Social func- tions must be cleared through the chairman of this Committee. The Social Committee has undergone two changes this year. The first was that G.A.A. took over the arrangements for the playdays. The second was that a new job was appropriated to the committee: the planning of Friday convoca- tions and Thursday morning assemblies. The Assembly Committee, a branch of the Social Com- mittee, was formed so that it could take over this duty. Chairmen of Social and Assembly Com- mittees: Mary Dosdall, Kirkie Fobes, Liz Freidman, Judy Blake, Marlene Heger.

Absent, Vicki Mac' farlane, Carol Bratnober, Isabel Hoskins. SERVICE COMMITTEE Because of its good organization and continued successes this year, the Service Committee has taken a step upward on the ladder of importance. Representatives from each class have taken part in all projects. Running the Service Fund drive is the first function of the committee. This drive was carefully planned and was introduced in a special assembly. Posters and reminder signs, designed to encourage giving, were displayed throughout the school. Since this was the main campaign put on in Summit, it was especially important that the pledges be adequate. Christmas was a special time for service to others. Sixty-six Red Cross boxes were filled for Eu- ropean children. During vacation many groups of girls went to Ancker Hospital at various times to decorate, distribute mail, or do any odd jobs that might be helpful. Our singing at Gillette Hospital brought cheer to many sick children. The Red Cross drive and the Service Fund dance were executed very well. i l l i l POLICY COMMITTEE This year the Policy Committee has become increasingly important with the installation of the demerit system. The vice-president of the Stu- dent's Association heads this committee, which is composed of the tallies, the monitors, the lunch- room chairman, and a member at large from each of the four upper classes. The duties pertain, on the most part, to the maintenance of good con- duct and order among the students. The demerit system provides punishment for most violations, however, unique breaches of conduct are dealt with separately. This takes up much time: first the committee convenes to discuss the offense involved, next each member thinks about it for a day, finally the committee meets again to decide the number of demerits to be given. This system has proved successful and very practical. The chairmen, Ann Luyten and Mary Dosdall, are to be commended, TALLIES The tallies are the proctors of the study hall. When a tally is on duty in the study hall, she must make sure that no one has forgotten to sign out. She uses an official list of the girls that should be in the study hall, checking this list with the girls actually there and those signed out. If someone is missing, the tally must find out where she is. In addition to this job, these girls have other equally important duties: they are in charge of keeping quiet lines to and from assembly, and they are members of the policy committee. The senior tally is in charge of uniforms. She holds inspections and takes excuses from students who are out of uniform. lnspection days come unan- nounced since each girl is expected to be in cor- rect uniform at all times.

But before it could attain this high position, its members had to put in many hours of hard work. The purpose of the Library Committee is to relieve Mrs. Carlson either when she is teaching algebra or when she is busy doing other work. She has taught these girls the many technicalities of keeping the library rec- ords and signing out books. Each girl has at least one period a week in which she takes over the library for Mrs. Carlson. At this time she is in complete charge, even to discipline. The girls on the Library Committee are care- fully chosen, their two main qualifications being dependability and interest. Summit can be proud to have girls interested in library work. USHER CLUB Courtesy is the password for the Usher Club. Under Mrs. Carlson's supervision the members learn the most polite way to hand a guest his pro- gram and show him to a seat, to hush noisy chil- dren, and to usher a late comer to his seat without much commotion. There is a definite technique to use in handing out programs. The usher must use diplomacy in asking a guest to share his program, tact in re- fusing to supply them to children for use as air- planes. The programs are not the only problem the ushers worry about. Often they must try to seat most guests in one section of the gym and leave the other seats free, Artful management is needed in such situations. The members of the club have provided quick and efficient ushering for all events. Ushers: Seated, Nicky Benz, Chairman Marlene l-leger, Sandy Platt, Joyce Adams. Standing, Mary Putnam, Bonnie Mairs, Midge l-lamm, Nancy Earl. Library Committee: Front row: Barbara Roy, Mary Putnam, Felicity Vaughan, Sharon Brown, Polly Cross. Second row: Emily Otis, Joannie Shapiro, Barbara Welch, Chairman Midge Hamm, Bea Strand, Joan Wooldridge, Nancy Monick, Lollie Benz, Molly Spilhaus, Gogo Stoms. SCHOOL POLICE Summit's school police force is a very active group. Marty Andrews is the captain of this organization, which includes dependable girls from the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Each school morning at 8:10 two alert young women holding large, red flags stand at the intersection of Lex- ington and Goodrich, one on each side of Lexing- ton. When a girl wants to cross the street, she must wait until there is a break in the stream of traffic. Then the cautious police girls will lower their previously furled flags so she may safely go across. These girls have had careful preparation for their responsibility. At the beginning of the year a St. Paul Police officer initiated them, instructed them in the care of flags, and taught them pre- cautions to take while on the corner. G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association has done much philanthropic work this year. At Christmas the club sponsored and organized a very successful party for children from the Capitol Community Center. Moreover, this organization, with the help of non-members, supervised the noon hour recre- ation for the primary and elementary school. G.A.A. points determine membership in the association and the awarding of letters. The points are earned in several ways: participation in play- days, high grades in gym, class team member- ship, varsity membership, participation in the ten- nis tournament and noon hour supervision. G.A.A. has also taken over the Civil Defense program. We have had two successful air raid drills, each class found its assigned place quickly and with a minimum amount of noise. However, as yet no one has inconvenienced us by dropping a bomb on the school.

FLAME BOARD Since much planning of the yearbook was done dur- ing the summer, the FLAME board got ahead of most other student organizations, Many hours were spent in laying out these pages and organizing the material in this book before school even started. Soon after Sep- tember llth the Executive Beard approved the staff and work on the FLAME got under way officially. As a money-raising project, the FLAME board spon- sored a dance, the Political Party, Two meetings were spent in planning and preparations. Profit-wise it turned out to be very successful. This year eight girls from the junior and senior class- es went to Chicago to the national high school press conference. For two days there were classes. All the Summit girls attended these classes and learned many useful things about yearbook editing. This was a new experience for the FLAME board girls. The FLAME has been a member of the National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation for a few years, but this was the first time we were a participating member! This year more girls ac- tually took part in the collecting of material for the FLAME than ever before. Students from the seventh grade to the twelfth grade felt they had a part in the editing of the yearbook. To show the staff just what printing processes would go into their yearbook, a trip through Webb Publishing Company was planned and executed. 46 5 .

SMALL CHORUS At the beginning of the yeor Mrs. Bolstad held tryouts for the Small Chorus. She chose thirty of the best singers from the freshman through senior classes to sing in this group. Mrs. Bolstad and the girls first worked on the songs for the Thanks- giving program. For this occasion, the Small Chorus's first performance, they song Mendels- sohn's Lift Thine Eyes. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas were a time for hard work, because they sang several numbers at the Christmas program. Next the Small Chorus pere formed at the Joint Concert, They are expected to sing at the Arts Assembly and for the Baccaf laureate service. All in oll, these girls have learned much this year and have hcid fun doing it. Eront row: Sally Katz, Nicky Benz, Mary Lange, Nancy Monick, Andy Russell, Anne Duvall.

But before she is able to operate Summit's various machines, she must have a broad background in the field of me- chanics. The new member is usually admitted to the Projection Club when she is in junior high. She begins by learning how to manipulate one of the simplest machines. With the help of an older member, she works on this one until she has mastered all its intricacies. She continues in this way until she can operate smoothly a majority of the machines. Now she can be called on by a teacher or a speaker. Projection Club: Front row: Bonnie Mairs, Mary Hoskins, Lollie Benz, President Sandy Platt, Joan Wooldridge, Joyce Adams.

MODERN DANCE CLUB The members of the Modern Dance Club spent their first club meeting working on basic dance steps. They soon had to begin work on the Lincoln program. Mrs. Robinson simplified and shortened the process by putting each girl in only three or four dances. Still, it was a long procedure to learn, practice, and memorize the dances. Re- hearsals often lasted very late. After rehearsing for a week with the Choral Readers, the Modern Dance Club put on the Lincoln program, which was a great success. The girls danced to songs that grew up during LincoIn's life and are associ- ated with the Civil War. Some of them were Battle Hymn of the Republic, Maryland, Auld Lang Syne, and Dixie The Choral Readers provided accompaniment. CHORAL READERS lnterest in a choral reading group grew when the speech class was preparing The Littlest An- gel for presentation at the International lnstitute. This was the first official choral reading given by Summit girls. lt was well liked and caused a burst of enthusiasm from the students. By the time tryouts for a club were under way, many wanted to try out. The Choral Readers' recital came on February l3 at the Lincoln program. For this memorial as- sembly the dancers were accompanied by the Choral Readers. Between dances they interpreted some of Lincoln's letters and speeches. Very effective, was the way that most of the audience reacted to this program. lt was a good beginning for a strong choral reading club at Summit. DRAMA CLUB Under Mrs. Robinson's supervision Drama Club has become very active. The method for obtaining membership helped to make this so. Tryouts were held after school. A memorized monologue taken from a play or a prepared speech on some crew job was the requirement for trying out. Since work was necessary in preparing for tryouts, only the girls who were really interested did so. So much talent was revealed that the club is now very large. The plays come under the heading of drama even though this year they didn't have much to do with the Drama Club proper. On the night of November 2lst and 22nd, J. M. Barrie's Dear Brutus was presented by Summit and S.P.A. at the Saint Paul Academy. Our Town was the play chos- en to be given this spring at Summit. Mary Lange and Felicity Vaughan won the girls' prize for all around cooperation. Choral Readers: Front row: Mary Dosdall, Vicki Churchill, Brenda Raudenbush, Lollie Benz.

FIELD HOCKEY Field hockey is the sport for which the young ladies of the Summit School squeeze into shorts and overlapping shirts, don Centurion-like shin- guards, and carry heavy sticks for offense and de- fense. ln maroon, green, and white ranks they file onto the playing field and line up facing each other in the first line and agmen novissimum or rear. The object of the fight that ensues is to swat a hard ball into the goal of the opponent. The dis- abling of the opponent for the gaining of this end is prohibited, but the missile is often caught in the abdomens of valiant goalies, and ankles are some- times hit by the curved sticks. Though this sport may sound a little barbaric, Summit is nevertheless a highly civilized school. The The civil wars came out 5-O, juniors over fresh- men, l-O, seniors over sophomores. The exciting play-off found the seniors ever victorious with the whopping score of 4-O over the juniors. The troops then were sent off to St. Mary's Hall to match sticks against foreign armies. The scores were as follows: freshmen-sophomore, O-2, junior, O-2, senior, O-l, all in favor of St. Mary's. Northrop came over to battle Summit within her own boundaries. Summit's sophomores won 3-O but Northrop's juniors beat Summit's 2-O. The seniors tied, O-O. So ended a not so victorious season. seniors rest between halves of the senior-junior game. The juniors plan second half strategy. 56 The freshmen have a rousing game. VGLLEYBALL Volleyball is perhaps the least serious of the sports at Summit. Each sport has its own characteristic: seri- ous, intense, or sociable, but volleyball is amusing. ln- evitably, when a class gathers in the gymnasium and is divided by a high net, laughter bubbles in every throat. The wild serves that bounce off heads, off the ceiling, or go backwards evoke humorous remarks. Gerry tries a spike. 57 Fast plays and good spikes are followed by laugh- ter and chatter. lt is both a relaxed and intense game, relaxed in that the players are not thinking so much about the score and more about the fun, intense in the anticipation of each serve and return. Another attribute of volleyball is that girls of many ages enjoy playing it. At recess and at lunch several girls from the seventh through twelfth grades gather in the gym to practice serves and spikes. Often they have games, mixing the grades on both teams. The intramural games this year showed which class takes volleyball the most seriously. The seniors really embarrassed the sophomores to the tune of 59-9. The freshmen led the juniors, 36-28. The play-off came out 28-l4, the seniors putting the freshmen in their proper places. Pugs ond Ellen try hord for ci jump boll. BASKETBALL The high hoop ond big brown boll hold o certoin foscinotion for Summit students. During the bosket- boll seoson girls from oll grodes gother in the gym for practice ond gomes. The sport is token rother seriously in most closses, the offense makes up ploys while the defense works on line guording. Although bosketboll is primorily o sport for toll men, the situotion hos been reversed ot Summit. Some of the best ond most spectoculor ployers ore oround five foot three. ln the sophomore-junior gome, l4-ll for the sophomores, three mighty mites on the offense upset the juniors, procticolly running through their legs. The seniors, hoving good ployers both toll ond short, becit the freshmen 42-ll despite the lotter's teom spirit ond pre-gome rolly. The seniors triumphed in the ploy-off, 34-l2 over the sophomores. At Northrop the bottle wos not only teom ogoinst tecim, but system clgoinst system. The line guording toctics seemed to hove on edge over the mon-to-mon defense.

TENNIS ln the spring tennis competes with sunbathing for the most popular lunch period occupation. Some girls combine the two. Others would rather watch. Spectator-sunbathers sit on the hills in advantageous first balcony positions, watching real enthusiasts, who play before school, at re- cess, lunch, gym period, after school, and on Saturdays and Sundays. The girls in the elemen- tary school compete with the high school girls for the courts. The number entering the tourna- ments, in both the senior and junior high, was exceptional. Interest in tennis is brought about through the new sports program in the grades and the im- proved program in the high school. At the be- ginning of the season, each class took a test, and the girls were classified in beginners or ad- vanced groups according to their results. Gunny teaches each group for half a period, while the girls in the other group work on their game. This plan is working quite well. The finals have not been played yet, conse- quently no winners can be given. Last year's champion in the singles was Ann Luyten, in the doubles, Ann Luyten and Laura Floan. These sen- iors and several of the underclassmen played last summer in the Rochester Invitational. Many play regularly at the Tennis Club during the summer. The girls who play tennis have found it to be a very sociable sport. They have made new friends and have learned to be good sports. Not only that, they have good tans without extra effort. Tennis instruction has proved very helpful this year. Lou Opstad and Judy Parish practice. Under the drinking fountain in the locker room is a favorite place to put on tennis shoes. Class basketball games often prove to be very lively.

During the first two weeks of school there was meeting atter meeting to decide the theme, the skits, and the parties of the Freshman Daze. Then each senior drew tor her own little sister. ln a meeting with the fresh- men, the president ot the senior class explained to them exactly what they were to do on Thursday and Friday. During Friday convocation the freshmen pre- sented theirqskits. That evening the seniors treated their little sisters to a tasty and enjoyable progressive dinner party. Two weeks later the freshmen invited the seniors to a pow-wow and slumber party. The pow- wow was fun, the seniors loved the slumber party even though slumber was lacking. 64 The juniors portray the witches of Macbeth in their prize-winning HALLCWEEN PARTY The theme for the Halloween Party, held on October 3lst, was advertisements. On Friday after- noon the seniors decorated the gym with witches, pumpkins, and black cats cut out of advertisements. They had a hard time choosing the most appropri- ately dressed contestant, but, finally, when only a few of the best were left in the grand march, they voted to give first prize to Ruthie Putnam, Mr, Peanut. The juniors won first prize in the skit division with a skit of the Macbeth witches foretelling the election outcome. skit Ruthie Putnam accepts first prize for her Mr. Peanut costume. Everyone enjoys the skits. 65 Tony Baer, president of the Teen-Age Re- publican Club, decorates the gym with I Like Ike balloons.

POLITICAL PARTY With November 4th drawing near, the FLAME board chose the presidential election as the theme of the FLAME dance. After racking their brains for a week, the board finally decided to name the yearbook sponsored festivity Political Party . Dec- orations-campaign posters, signs, red, white, blue balloons, and leaflets-adorned the gym making it look like a miniature convention hall. Ike, Stevenson, Anderson, and Freeman were the best represented when couples came wearing every imagin- able type of political propaganda. The president of the Teen- Age Republican Club was an honored guest. Music was provided by Walt Chapin and his Krazy Kats. Although the Eisenhower group slightly outnumbered the Stevenson faction, no real enemies were made, and, with relative peace between Republicans and Democrats, the dance ended- quite a success.

Up- turned umbrellas brimming over with multi- colored spring flowers adorned the walls of the gym. Even though the weather outside was frightful for April, inside the springy decora- tions ond cotton dresses were delightful. There was a large turnout, which contrasted greatly with the profit, Only Sl l.OO was added to the service fund when the dance was over. The success of this dance and that of the Political Party recommend the new policy Miss Benjamin initiated this year. When she an- nounced that the students could give only two dances beside the traditional Spring and Christ- mas dances, she met with many protests. How- ever, all the students now realize the reasons back of this new idea, and all see the impor- tance of having only two informal dances, the proceeds of which go to some worthwhile proj- Some smoothies dancing ects.

I CHRISTMAS DANCE Giant candy canes, red, white, and pink streamers, and the music of Harry Stroeble's band set the mood for the Christmas Dance. Laughter and gaiety prevailed, especially when two banjo players added an extra touch of enter- tainment at intermission time. For the first time the alumnae of the last four years were formally invited. We were all pleased to see many of them there. This gala affair proved to be one of the best dances ever given in the Summit gym. It will be well remembered by everyone. Betty Hilton and her date redecorate o Christmas tree.
