We are living in an epoch of change, a time in which the people are moved to stir the embers of their discontent so that the blaze of action and the smoke of reaction flame and billow across the pages of our newspapers The press is, perhaps, the institution of modern civilization which best serves to record the events, thoughts, and progress of our time. A school yearbook should contain not only memories of the school year, but also memories of the year as a whole : the events of the world and the interests of youth. The Class of 1961 selects the newspaper as the theme of its yearbook. It is our hope to capture in this volume not only the spirit which pervades the many facets of our school life, but also the savor and vitality of the era in which we live. We hope that you, with us, will enjoy reading our record, THE TIMES.

SERVICE COMMITIEE
At carnival time the school turns out to help the Service Committee in its annual project, to finance the German exchange program
This active organization runs the Community Chest Drive which the students support generously. This year the campaign included the United Fund, CARE, The American Friends ' Service Committee, and the Cancer Fund The Committee also supported UNICEF, entertained children from the Overbrook School for the Blind , gave parties for underprivileged children, sponsored the annual clothing drive , and gave a dance in cooperation with the Student Council. With the help of Mr Emerson, and under the leadership of Douglas Kadel, President, the Service Committee endeavors to be of service in every way possible
HONOR COMMITTEE
The Honor Committee has undergone many changes this year. Last spring it was voted that the Honor Committee was to function under the auspices of the Student Council. This meant that a Constitution for the Honor Committee had to be written. The Constitution is now a part of the Constitution of the Student Council.
We have worked on severa l things this year such as raising the general attitude towards honor in the school, working on campus clean-up, and sending out questionnaires about the honor systems in other schools. Besides this we have worked on an exchange program with Penn Charter School. Scott Davis and Allen Reishtein went to Penn Charter for part of a day and discussed their honor system. Two boys from Penn Charter then came here on the same basis; it was a very profitable experience.
The Honor Committee's main intention for this year has been to establish the Honor Committee as a respected school institution, and pave the way for its future

The staff of the 1961 yearbook has worked hard to make The Times an accurate and meaningful record. The production has been a rewarding experience in cooperation.
We would like to give particular thanks to members of the class who helped type copy: Pat Upham, Libby Mayer, Pat Willis, Barbara Lane, and Debbie Stine, and to Allen Reishfein who helped with the paste-ups.
Our sincere thanks also to David Hardman, who while not a senior, gave his talent and much of his time to take and process pictures for us.
We are very proud of our product, and we hope that it will afford you as much enjoyment in reading it as it has us in preparing it.

DRAMA
This year the Drama Class was a comparatively small group of students interested in acting. Under the able direction of Mr. Burgess they studied types of comedy and practiced various exercises for achieving different moods . The most amusing was one requiring a student to talk about a given subject in a given situation but speaking only the alphabet.
Early in the year the class presented scenes from Anastasia, The Taming of the Shrew , and The Member of the Wedding and later, The Old Lady Shows Her Medals and Sorry , Wrong Number.

CHORUS
Every Monday and Thursday morning, about a hundred members of the Senior High are found in the Rex Gym. They were practicing for Bach's Christmas Oratorio, "Wonderful Town," or their appearance at the Academy of Music on April 23, 1961. The performances were very successful, thanks to the interest and cooperation of the members and the fine direction and leadership of Mr. Krine Westhoven, Jr .
We were very fortunate to have three able pianists to help us through the difficult parts. They were sophomore, Sue Ann, Hart, and juniors, Mary Poynter and David Volkhausen.
BOYS' GLEE CLUB
On Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday mornings unearthly noise issues from the music studio Contrary to the popular belief, there are no caged animals there, only caged ones who call themselves the Boys' Glee Club. These senior high boys are under the fine direction of Mr. Krine Westhaven, Jr. Their most important performance was participation in the Christmas program. Mr. Westhaven's boys have been doing many college songs, including such old favorites as "Far Above Cayuga's Waters", "Anchors Aweigh", "Night and Day", and "Strike Up the Band".
