The first party was a gay and joyful Christmas party. Shevlin Hall was decorated with many colorful trimmings. Many frolicsome games were played and much Christmas food was eaten. The second party had no particular theme, although the committee in charge collected old clothes at the door from each ninth grader as a token of admission. The clothes were later given to the European Clothing Drive. This party was held in Shevlin Hall and again the A.V.-O.C. provided the dance music.

Every spring after a week of vigorous campaigning by the candidates, the entire student body elects members to the Senate, the student governing body of the school. Senators, with alternates, include representatives from each class who meet twice weekly to discuss problems and activities of each class. Mr. McCutch-eon acts as adviser. One of the principal duties of the Senate is to grant charters to all clubs and organizations. By doing this, the body attempts to recognize those clubs which are of benefit to the school, and to eliminate those which have no value. As a criterion for guiding their policies, the Senate conducted an inquiry among parents of students to find out the attitude of the parents on sports, plays, and other activities. Again this year the Senate appointed a committee to take charge of all assemblies. The committee, headed by Steve Wolff and Helen Buchta. supervised the various programs which featured movies, local talent, and guest speakers. Noon hour recreation was another concern of the Senate this year. For the idle noon hour time, a successful program was arranged including ping-pong, shuffle board, and gin-rummy. In addition, music was offered for the benefit of dance enthusiasts. The elaborate Victory Bond Drive this year was also under the direction of the Senate. In addition to its more serious functions, the Senate sponsored and guided to completion, two important entertainment events. One of these was the gala Homecoming Dance, one of the outstanding marks on the year’s social calendar. The other Senate sponsored function was the popular U-High-lites. 22
