Student Council

Student Council began the school year with a dance in October. December brought our Christmas dance, ALL BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAS, featuring the Majestics. March 24 started off Spirit Week when Ron Sloan spoke about spirit. Elections were held May!.

Student Council wishes to establish a better relationship between students and faculty and to involve more students in the school activities. To achieve the interests of the students there must be a coordination of school activities to increase school spirit and to create unity.

A happy line-up the 1969-70 officers: Valerie, Sylvia, Chris and Paula.

Officers: S~eri Battigaglia Secretary; Sylvia Scarpelli, Treasurer; Paula Heizer; Vice-President; Peggy Locke, President; representatIves and moderator, S. Carol, look ahead to a new year.

A rare moment of unity taken out of the usual library business: eighteen devoted members.

Ever since the entry of Sister Marie Clare as the school librarian, our library not only has a new look, but more books as well.

The library club, eighteen strong, aids SMC in shelving books, cleaning and keeping records. They actually changed the atmosphere of the library and its status in the school.

The Library Club

The Lab Squad

Under Mrs. DiGiacomo's direction the freshmen biology lab squad kept the lab clean, learned where specimens, biological equipment, and chemicals were placed, conducted experiments and ran film projectors.

Lab agents of the biology world: Pam Wise, Sue Angi, Rhonda Miller, Barb Sparaco, and Jill Mumahan .

National Business Honor Society

This year twelve juniors were accepted as probationary members in the National Business Honor Society due to their scholastic ability and academic courses.

They must also maintain an average containing only one C. The officers this year were: Julie Wahlrab, President; Debbie Schafer, Vice President; Mary Leopold, Secretary; and Sue Borgert, Treasurer.

Marianne Dorsten received Probationary Membership in the National Business Honor Society.

Festival Rallies Competitive school spirit involves the students in the annual Homecoming Festival. Sophomore Vicki Hoefler was again high seller in the school. The seniors lagged during the drive, but tradition triumphed and the seniors came out on top.

"The others don't have a ghost of a chance."

"They found Marina a date!"

Senior Class Trip Twenty-five seniors experienced a once-in-alife-time chance-the Senior Trip to Washington, D.C. They will always remember New York's crowded streets, and Washington's beautiful historical monuments, as well as bedlam on the train, feathery pillow fights, and night life BEFORE 10 p.m.

New York City from the Empire State Building.

Oh, NO! It can't be, Paul Newman!

"I'm forever blowing bubbles."

Leaders of the past influence the leaders of tomorrow.

HDistant Shores" The 1969 Prom

/:

Over one hundred couples danced to the soft music of the Imperials on April 11. Juniors turned the gym into a Polynesian island; palm trees accented the gym along with brightly colored flowers and seashells while Tiki-god, George, towered over all. Mary Jean D'Amico's escort provided the highlight of the evening as he gallantly rushed to the rescue just as a palm tree was about to smash her.

"Oh, Rocky,"

Queen Mary Jean D'Amico surrounded by her royal court and their escorts.

Graduation May 25 terminated four years of mental anguish for the sixty-nine seniors who graduated this year.

"Isn't this exciting, Mary Jean?"

"Free at last ... Free at last . .. Thank God Almighty, we're free at last."
