Everyone has been great.
Just think. Ella Fitzgerald's

from Paris just to do a five

That's all the time we can
give them because Of the
abundance Of talent we've

we'd have a show that'd go

Another View

Northwood has m any,
many delightful features. OF
greatest Importance is
Northwood's fine educational
program, which includes
liable learner" courses. These
wonderful courses are de-
scribed in marvellous 50-page
booklets issued every year.
1t seems, however, that a
mistake has been made:
These booklets could not
possibly be describing courses
at Northwood. Nevertheless,
I derive great pleasure from
these booklets. They are
printed on one side only,
and thus are useful for scrap
paper.
OF course, life is not all
work at Northwood. We have
our clubs, too. Perhaps the
most fascinating is the
wheel Club" Much un-
deserved criticism is heaped
upon this club. After all.
only SECRET fraternities
are forbidden in Maryland
high schools.
And holidays are a time of
splendor at Northwood!
Christmas trees adorn our
school, choirs sing, assem-
blies are held, pictures Of
our Saviour are hung in the
library (Which, incidentally,
has several fine books ex-
planning religious freedom in
America, the school chap
lain blesses the name of our
Lord, and Nativity scenes
decorate the office. Religious
enthusiasm is at a high; all
students are enticed to at
tend an ASSEMBLY, during
which the choir sings praises
to our Saviour.
All, life at Northwood is
indeed wonderful! These
pleasant days will surely live
in the hearts Of North
woodites forever!

On Government

It is definitely the student
governments objective to
achieve an atmosphere of
self-government within the
school However, this defini-
ton Of the student govern
ment's aims and obligations
Is only partly correct. There
are many more goals which a
student government strives to
accomplish.
Summarized, these goals
are: To provide a forum for
the expression of student
opinion; to train leaders and
followers; to teach good
citizenship: to coordinate
student activities; to improve
relations with the admin
istration, the faculty and, the
community, as well as other
schools; to encourage a high
level of pride and enthusiasm
in the school.
A basic point which has
been previously overlooked is
the fact that projects such as
Button Day." Heel and Tie
Day" and many other such
activities are only the means
to achieve our goals and not
the goal itself. No matter
how trivial or how great a
project is, it can only be
called successful if it brings
the school closer to its obiec-
tiveS.
I will agree with the
"Three Dull Grinds' (TEEN.
January u that these prof.
ects in themselves will not
stop the threat of world COM
munism. However, if we
start right at the top with no
training, we will fail miser-
ably. It is projects which, in
part, accomplish this train
ing, whether it is giving
apples to the teachers on the
first day Of school or raising
money for a stadium.

are interested in bettering
international relations, the

ernments in the area sponsor

The student government,
being the representative body

should benefit all factions.
A high school is made up

the student government

This responsibility has

calling themselves the ''in-
telligensia." Claudia Levy
CTEEN, December I'D calls
this situation the struggle
between the "intelligentsia"
and the student government.
What Claudia and many
of her friends fail to realize
is that by just opposing the
student governments ac-
tivities and not working for
any activities that they feel
are important they are de-
feating their own purpose.
The student government does
not wish to struggle with
anyone. 1t only wishes to
enlist the support of all the
school in projects for the
betterment of the school.

She has already had to face
many situations that would stop a

was there to take pictures, Mrs.
Kennedy came down for breakfast

milling through the house, garden
