student council
The first half of the year was a little on the slow
side for the council, but in January it was revised. Among seme of the projects for the council were
the Christmas gifts, fund raising, Goodwill and
similar endeavors. For the first time the coun¬ cil showed enthusiasm towards other events besides
its own goals and privileges. If this trend in
thought keeps going, Girard will reach new
heights in student government.

MR. HENRY MAZALESKI
The Student Court was not really as powerful a court as it should have been, though there were some eight hundred cases through the year. The court this year revised its rules and functions and made defined punishments. Unfortunately, how¬ ever, the court handled only the smallest misde¬ meanors. For the court to be more effective in the future, it should add faculty members and handle all the discipline as the Judical Board.

student center
Experimentation was the theme of Student Center’s
activities this year. Innovations such as the hot
dog counter and the soda fountain provided the
staff with ideas for future improvement. Due to
several mid-season personnel changes, the center
lacked the organization necessary to make the year
a complete success. We hope that on the basis of
our successes and failures next year’s staff, with
the help of Mrs. Oritt, will make the center an im¬
portant part of Girard’s social life as well as a
"profit-making” organization.

The GIRARD news began the year covering the
M-Day protests with a fervor few would have an¬
ticipated a year ago. Editors Joe Pillo and Fred¬
rick Clayton not only told ir "like it is,” they also
managed to escape the carping scrutiny of censor¬
ship. With an altered lay-out, new balance in re¬
porting, and a continuing Letters to the Editor
controversy, the NEWS aroused the interest of
everone, but most particularly of the Seniors.

If this year’s CORINTHIAN attempted to create an unusual approach to the year book, then, hope¬
fully, the 1971 edition will be a continuation. The
ideas begun by the staff of the 1970 book have
been borrowed, at times enhanced, sometimes sim¬
ply confused, and frequently improved.
Perhaps it is the nature of an annual to reap con¬
fusion; perhaps it is the nature of the staff to en¬ gender that confusion. Nevertheless, with a multi¬
tude of false starts, too many promises, and a fun¬
damental belief that "somebody will do it,’’ the 1970 CORINTHIAN has been completed.
At times, faced with either lethargy or a dearth of material, the staff looked towards the gloomy pro¬ spect of not producing a yearbook or simply pre¬ senting a list of those seniors graduating (and
where they might be found). While such a di¬ rectory may have had a pragmatic approach, it
would not have had that inestimable quality from
which memories are taken.
Since few others seemed interested in the final re¬ sult, it is not so much that the editors should be held responsible for what appears here; rather, it
is to their credit that they completed what is here at all.

The GIRAJRDIAN, as always has been a crea¬
tive outlet for students who wish to demonstrate
their literary skills, and experience the satisfaction
of having their work published. Throughout the
year the magazine staff attempted to extort wor¬
thy short stories and poems from our small student
body. After much hard work the 40-page
girardian became a reality. Thanks must go to
faculty sponser Mr. Michael Wilscn for his valu¬
able advise and assistance.
An organization with one of the most demanding
schedules on campus, the Photography Club is a
major contributor to Girards’ publications. This
year’s Corinthian layout confronted the Club
with a new challenge, that of being able to sup¬
ply the book with enough really good shots of
people, places, and things associated with our
stay at Girard to make an interesting book.
ERIC ENGWALL ED MULLEN
DOUG JESSER KEN SETZER
Quality and quantity began to lag as the publica¬
tions’ demands for pictures increased, and the lack
of supplies, equipment, and effort became evident
as the year progressed. Working right up to the
deadline, the Club managed to get its photos in,
just as the school year expired.

MR. NORM SHERMAN
From late Monday night Dramatic Club meetings
came the ideas for such projects as X-rated movies
and three act, two hour plays (with real girls).
Although these revolutionary attempts never pro¬
gressed to their completed forms, the Dramatic
Club did give its audience several finished produc¬
tions. Late in January the slightly delayed Christ¬
mas Play, The Secret Sharer, was given. The story
of six British sailors aboard a cargo ship in the
Orient found favor with many of the students who
were tired with the usual Friday night thrillers.
The Spring Play, Bury the Dead, was an anti-war
play which hit the Girard stage expressing the
feelings of most of its students. The members of
the club sincerely appreciate the time and effort
Mr. Norman Sherman provided to make rehear¬
sals both enjoyable and productive.

concert band
Blending talent and interest with newer, more pop¬
ular music, the Concert Band this year achieved an
unanticipated degree of recognition. Aside from
the annual concerts, the Band also performed in a
television program in April. The guidance of Mr.
Robert Morrison and the capable leadership of
Captain Anthony Blase were effective in producing
a rewarding and successful year which will leave
a favorable impression on all those who have heard
the Band.

Through the past years the choir constantly
seemed to be plagued with a communications gap
between the director and the choir. This year the
gap was bridged because of the fine personality cf
the new director Mr. William Riley. Mr. Riley’s
constant attempts to improve our Girard Choir
should not go unheralded. The members of the
Choir were willing to give up their free time, and
they worked hard to give better concerts and
performances.

A lack of interest hindered this year’s
broascasts of WGC, but the organization
did function successfully. The efforts of a
few compensated for the lack of interest
by many to produce the entertaining
Monday morning programs. WGC bright¬
ened many a "blue” Monday morning, and
we will regard it as a memorable and
enjoyable facet of our Girard life.

After several years of inactivity, the Ex¬
plorer Post has finally been revived. As a
result of hard work put forth by James
McGrath, Dave Riddle, and Eric DeWalt
many programs have been started. One
fine example of this is the exchange pro¬
gram with a Senior Girl Scout Troop. In
order that the organization may function
successfully, responsibility rests on future
members.

epilogue This book is really the culmination of a year’s planning. This too is a tradition, for the Corinthian is truly an annual, a yearbook which essays to recapture, however selectively, those moments which are history, however lim¬ ited, for those who have pursued knowledge, however fleetingly
For no class have the throes of change so af¬ fected the course of decisions, for no single group has the world become so real, for no generation has the different become so accept¬ able. Girard has offered the Class of 1970 everything or nothing. The Class may turn to erudition (which a few may do) or to fighting ( which some have already done) to seek a certain unspecified, misundersrood idea.
Sometime in the history of each class, someone labels it with an enduring word. The word itself may be mundane, but its application to a class serves to enhance the memorable qualities of both the word and the class. In this case, the word is unique.
The Class of 1970 is unique in its composition, in its attitude and in its talent. The diversity of the first, the unpredicability of the second, and the originality of the third make it truly a singular part of Girard’s history.
Rarely has a class exhibired rhe qualities of rhe Class of 1970; rarely has such a relatively small group left such an indelible impression on so many.
The Class of 1970 leaves Girard with not only the- common knowledge that they may be for¬ gotten, but also with the cognizance that their uniqueness will long be remembered.
