Shakespeare Club One of the school's newest organiza- tions, the Shakespeare Club, is designed for those students interested in serious drama. Under the direction of Mrs. May Sheehan, its purpose is to help students gain understanding and appreciation of one of the worldis greatest playwrights. In accordance with this goal, the club annually participates in a Shakespeare festival held at Hofstra University. This year the club presented a scene from Romeo and fuliet. A trip to Stratford, Connecticut, in the fall also provided an opportunity to see Shakespearian plays as they are presented professionally. Better student-school relationship is the aim of the Stu dent Council. Consisting of representatives from each homeroom, it strives towards good student behavior and government. Because of its efficient organization, our Stu- dent Council has become a member of the Nassau League of Student Government. A service organization, the Student Council, under the advisership of Mr. Anthony Moreno and Mr. Joseph Mat- thews, supports such activities as the Adopt A Familyl' program at Christmas, the G.O. Store, a fund raising car wash, and W.I.S.E. A suggestion box is made available for those students having practical and creative ideas concern- ing their school government.
