STUDENT COUNCIL President Vice President Administrative Assistant Secretary Treasurer Advisors Mary Jean Manker Janice Giamarino Glenn Freedman Phyllis DiGiovanni Henry Fader ----- Mr. Kahn Mrs. Huebsch In order for a community to function efficiently, there must be a capable government present to accom- plish the desired objectives and to coordinate the ac- tivities undertaken. In this way our school is like our community: it is our Student Council that must do the work efficiently in order to keep our miniature community, the student body, united and satisfied, so that each member may contribute his best. The first item on this year’s agenda was the sale of G. O.-Class cards, the proceeds of which were used to support the school’s major governing body. Novem- ber was the month of the Inaugural Ball, which brought a night-club atmosphere to the gymnasium and Dress Down Day to the seniors. The following months saw such Student Council activities as Alumni Day, and the spring play, “Showboat.” May brought with it the Student Council Fair, which contained booths operated by the various clubs. Yet, the real function of any governing body is to formulate and maintain an organized political system, as exemplified by the annual Student Council elections. This year the Student Council has made important strides in promoting a greater exercise of student democracy. Yet, as in a community, its future effective- ness is dependent upon the cooperation and support of its citizens. 18

A freshman reaching out for informa- tion. Yet, after four years of study, no one student is able to fully experience the range or depth of courses offered at Farmingdale. However, classes would remain rooms, and the curriculum, only a list of subjects, if it were not for the spark and interest added by a dedicated faculty. These individuals provide a liv- ing curriculum by giving their students much more than o rote knowledge, by encouraging them to think freely.
