Melvin Reynolds converses with Senior Class color committee Chairman, Linda Russell — one of the many duties of the office which places him in the Senate. Senators Strive to Create A United, Efficient SCA There will be a Senate meeting Monday afternoon in the SCA room to draw up the Aims and Objectives. All class officers and the President of the Executive Honor Council please be present.” A frequent message in the daily bulletin this year was a call to duty for the Senators of the SCA. Their efficient execution of their many duties enabled the SCA to continue functioning properly. One of the first actions of the Senate was performed in the spring of 1964, shortly after class elections, when the Senate met to approve the newly appointed SCA Cabinet. When the new school year started in September, they met again to appoint a Board of Elections, to revise the SCA Aims and Objectives, and to approve other presidential appointments. These meetings were presided over by Brenda Winall, SCA vice- president, and supplemented by the guidance of Mrs. Kostyal, SCA sponsor. Throughout the year, the main objective of the Senate was to promote unity among the classes; and, in doing so, to organize a more effective SCA. Special emphasis, however, was placed on co-operation among the classes in raising their contributions to the SCA Scholarship Fund. Barbara Rountrey, a Senate member, dis- cusses the effect of the Aims and Objectives on the Junior Class with Don Owen and Susan Tilson. The Senate included: Standing (l-r ) — Wayne Godfrey, Michael Lambert, Mark Chesson, Sue Willis, Melvin Reynolds, . Linda Graham, Frank Coleman, and Brenda Winall. Seated (counter-clockwise) — Sharon Wiseman, Emmy Gibbons, Barbara Rountrey, Jo Saunders, Sandi Bryant, Leslie Stallings, and Bonnie Brown.

GCA Federation Promotes Relations Between Schools Just wait till we play you in football and basketball, then j you’ll see who has the best school.” This was a familiar cry at many of the monthly Federation I meetings this past year. Even though remarks such as this were j frequently made, and Newport News kept attempting to disband | the whole Federation, the group did occasionally manage to ac- | complish its purpose of bettering relations between schools. Under Lee Byers’ leadership, many programs were changed, j The seven delegates from the members schools of Ferguson, Hamp- I ton, Newport News, York, Kecoughtan, and Warwick were evenly ; divided and placed on committees where the majority of the busi- 1 ness was conducted. The three committees were: Weeks, Projects, and Programs. The Weeks Committee made suggestions for weeks to be spon- sored and conducted by each school at the same time. Those chosen were: Leadership Training, Know Your S.C.A., American- ism, and Brotherhood. As its service project, the Federation gave parties for the children’s ward in two local hospitals during Christmas. War- wick was responsible for purchasing the gifts for the children at Mary Immaculate Hospital. Other projects and programs were an invitation for St. Vincent’s Catholic High School to join Federation, and two exchange days sponsored by Kecoughtan and York. Federation members are: Row 1 — Billy Dunn, Frank Coleman, Melvin Reynolds. Row 2 — Carol Spencer, Kathy Scott, Ann McEnerney, Carol Lee Barlow, Anne Rodriguez, Mary Pat Tull, Brenda Winall, Nicki Robins. Frank Coleman and Betty Wall discuss Leadership Training Week, one of five weeks sponsored by Peninsula Federation. Warwick ' s contribution to the Federation’s Christmas Project was gifts to the children ' s ward at Mary Immaculate Hospital.

Representative Congress Influences School Policy Congress members collect money from Variety Show tickets Congress will now come to order . . The House of Representatives consisted of nearly all the mem- bers of Congress. Those included in this body were the homeroom presidents, the cabinet chairmen, members of the Executive Honor Council, and all club representatives, totaling approximately 120 members. The House of Representatives was more active this year than any previous year, selling Variety Show tickets, transacting all SCA business concerning appropriations, electing delegates when necessary, and reporting all business and activities to their re- spective homeroom or club. It seemed amazing at times when Congress was always full and ready to begin at 8:25, but perhaps it was due to the record kept in the cafeteria of weekly Congress attendance. Of course, there were always a few shifty characters who drifted into Congress about 8:50, signed the roll, and somehow drifted back out again. For the most part, however, students readily participated in the many facets of leadership and group activities possible through the Warwick High SCA. The House of Representatives was made up of: Row 1 — Barbara Rountrey, Judy Prizio, Brenda King, Mary Margaret Plummer, Diana Moody, Faye Dickinson, Linda Graham, Mary Lee Dawson, Betty Wall, Carol Spencer. Row 2 — Anna Robertson, Suzanne Morgan, Melinda Lewis, Penny Cherry, Jeannie Albertson, Johnny Atkins, Carol Lee Barlow, Nicki Robins, Vicki Mooza, Holly Vose. Row 3 — Susan Stutz, Steve Moore, Larry Ackiss, Bobby Tankard, Mike Chesson, Frances Herring, Ricky Wilkinson, John Allen, Dennis George. Row 4 — Carol Freda, Kathy Barkley, Diana Hack, Brenda Franklin, John Onderdonk, Brenda Smith, Linda Brooks, Frances Gilman, Lynn Elliot. Row 5 — Pam Mal- lory, Judy Wright, Greg Stevens, Peter Coleman, Kenny Harris, Debbie Russell, Becky Olson, Linda Suddith, Anna Markley. Row 6 — Linda Branch, Barbara Hamlett, Barbara Eastman, Brenda Eastman, Cathy D Errico, Kay Verser, Elizabeth Fife, Jean Williams, Everett Hogg. Row 7 — David Klich, Scott Crane, Frank Bobbitt, Steve Burnette, Randy Tanner, Anne Rodriguez, Ronnie Phillips. Row 8 — Carlton Morgan, Charles Williams, David Beals, Marvin Napier, Skipper Bottom.
