ARISTA Arista is derived from the Greek word Hariston meaning high- est in quality. But it stands for much more than its meaning indicates. Arista symbolizes honor, scholarship, service cre- dit, and most important of all, citizenship and character. Belonging to Arista is a great advantage. When you get older and apply for college entrance, entrance boards will give more consideration if Arista is listed as one of your accomplishments. ' At least a ninety in all pre- pared subjects at the end of the fourth marking period is a pre- requisite. An Arista candidate must likewise make Honor Roll the first marking period of the following year. HAH in conduct and at least a good in character traits is also essential. The Arista Senate decides the worthiness of Arista candidates. The present Arista Senate has as its able members Miss Rudolph, Mr. Elovzin, Miss Mahoney, Miss Tiernan, Mrs. Friesner, and Mr. Costello. Theodore Weiss VISUAL AIDS SQQAD The Visual Aids Squad is supervised by Mr. Jackelow. The members of this squad do an ex- cellent job operating the six- teen millimeter sound, film- strip slide, and oblique project- ors. During auditorium programs, they operate spotlights. They perform a great service to our school. SERVICE SQUAD The Guard Force is the most important, largest and probably the most efficient squad of the school. It is run like a mili- tary force. Mr. Cassuto the gen- eral or supervisor, gives instru- ctions to the captains, Dominick Nicoletti, Terry Davis Coak Cannon John Casazza, and Cedrick Simons, who, in turn, give orders to the lieutenants. The lieutenant gives instructions to the guards in his squad. Then the guards carry out these instructions. Each squad has a certain duty to perform. There about fifty guards on the force, each per- forming his own special job every day of the week. If a guard does not do his job well, he is dismissed from the service. If a student fails to cooperate in preventing accidents he is given detention. The main difference between a military force and the Walt Whitman Guard Force is that the purpose of the Guard Force is to prevent accid- ents before they happen, on the stairway, in the halls, and in the yard. A guard has certain obligations He must be on post at 8:20 A.M. and again at 12:20 P.M. He is constantly aware of safety pre- cautions Every guard at Walt Whitman is proud of his position and thank- ful that help his he can do something to school. The Walt Whitman Guard Force is therefore highly respected by other students. By guilding up leadership, respon- sibility, and dependability, the Guard Force has become a vital force in school life.
