WI had a very busy week.
Preparations for the Sno-Ball,
the annual Christmas dance,
are underway, and various
drives for charity are being
held.
Wednesday, Sidney Sulkin,
associate editor for the Chang
ing Times magazine spoke at a
banquet held by members of
Quill and Scroll honorary liter
airy society, to induct new
members.
Mr.. Sulkin spoke on "The
Value of Failure" a subject that
this reporter is sure encouraged
many students, and enlightened
their perspective.
Listeners chung hypnotically
to their tables, for a subject
such as Value in Failure" is
rare indeed. Needless to say,
some students We're particularly
attentive, especially since report
cards were given out on Tues
day.
Mr.. Sulkin pointed out that
students should not feel that
they can't go into the field they
wish because diagnostic tests
indicate they would not succeed,
but they should try anyway.
Even if they should fail, this
would be a great more bene-
fetal than not having tried at
all.
The Sno-Ball was held Satur-
day with Lee Maxfield's orches-
ira providing the music. The
names of nine princesses and a
queen were revealed at the
dance, result of final voting
in homeroorns on Friday.
