Who’s in charge of all those small jobs only talked about when something goes wrong? The Student Council. Who takes care of all those large projects that leave ulcers and grey hairs for all involved ? The Student Council. The informality of meetings and the nonchalance of the president made a relaxed atmosphere in which much was accomplished. Despite such minor (?) calamities as Bill Robbins, swinging emcee of Wea- ver A-Go-Go, numerous date changes for Weaver Night, and hopeful seniors desperately begging for a Senior Reception outside the school system, all ran smoothly. Every Friday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:00, Charlie Friedman, beloved and besneakered Council Presi- dent, sponsored an informal get-together in the club- room, or so it appeared to an innocent bystander. Discussions were spontaneous, and Robert’s Rules lay somewhere forgotten under a pile of dust. Yet, despite outward appearances, the Student Council was a productive and binding force at Weaver. STUDENT COUNCIL (left to right): Eric Spungin, Susan Mayerwitz, Charles Friedman, Susan Kargman, Margie Basch, Mr. Tom Straite, Donald Mastronarde, Robert Gilman, Bruce Fox, Alvin Berkon, Steven Guttenplan, Gary Goldstein and Glenn Fields.

BOYS’ CLUB AND GIRLS’ LEAGUE Through the Boys’ Club, Weaver High School re- wards three worthy seniors with two hundred dollar scholarships. The members of the club are the ad- mirable men who buy Boys’ Club membership cards. This species of Beaver peddles pencils in the halls, and cold drinks on the football field in sub-freezing weather. Brrrrrrrr! As officers of one of the most active clubs, the Girls ' League Executive Board meets every week to plan a calendar of interesting social and school events. The school events started with the installation as- sembly at which the 1965-66 officers were installed. Miss Anita Roche and Miss Marie DeBartolo were also installed as honorary members. For a second event, the Annual Christmas Assembly, in which the choir and the orchestra combined their efforts and presented a variety of religious and secular music, was most successful. On the social calendar, the Girls’ League spon- sored a party for their Room Representatives who worked hard to interest many girls in the activities. A new innovation was the Father-Daughter Spaghetti Supper. The Junior Tea and the Girls’ League Ban- quet concluded the activities for the year.
