The Student Council of
A. D. Eisenhower Senior High School completed another busy year under the expert
supervision and guidance of Mr. Chris Pappas.
The procedure of determining Council officers was changed this
year from semi-annual to annual elections. This change did not eliminate the week of
campaigning that preceded the voting. After the election and induction of the officers,
the Student Council began a new year of planning and supervising many useful projects.
Council began its work by organizing the "Get - Acquainted
Dance," which was the first important affair of the year. Following this, the plans
for an entirely new project were discussed. Both the Student Council and the student body
met with enthusiasm the prospects of presenting a Thanksgiving Day program which was to
include a parade and the crowning of a queen. The festivities of this day were a success
and shall be included in Council projects for succeeding years.
A relatively new activity for Council was Bundle Day, started
last year as a means to secure clothing which was sent to the needy children in the
mountainous areas of Arkansas. For the second year, the students themselves made Bundle
Day a success with their generous contributions of used clothing.
The exchange either of foreign or of domestic students was
planned and was set to go into effect next year.

Under the expert supervision of Mr. Harold Scheirer, the Spice Business Staff completed another highly successful school year. The staff is an important group which plays an important part in the publishing and the distributing of Spice.
During the fall months the staff arranged the picture appointments for the seniors. Then, while in the winter season, the staff was busy taking subscriptions and securing N.H.S. boosters from Norristown merchants for Spice. Spring and summer did offer very little rest for the hard-working members; the plans for Spice Day had to be laid out, and, most important of all, Spice had to, be distributed to the many subscribers throughout the school.
Following the termination of their many duties, the organization was able to look back on a year filled with success and satisfaction.

Business
Although the readers of Hi-Eye saw only the print, the pictures, and the advertisements when they opened their copies of the newspaper, much work was done behind the scenes by a group rarely praised in black and white. These capable students, working with their sponsor, Mr. Harold Scheirer, comprised the Hi-Eye Staff.
A mainstay of any publication is its financial department. The business of Eisenhower's newspaper concerned the business of Norristown for the merchant greatly aided Hi-Eye by obtaining ads in each issue. The staff had a year-round job in visiting the town's businessmen and seeking advertisements for everything from Coca-Cola to the latest girls' fashions.
Another phase of the business staff's activities rested closer to home. At the beginning of the school year, the staff was feverishly attempting to obtain new subscribers. For its success in this endeavor and all others the Hi-Eye Business Staff merits being highly commended.

Mrs. Kingsley and the class of 1960 as sophomores organized a school magazine. This publication was to include both prose and poetry written by the students of Eisenhower.
Although both the staff and the sponsor were inexperienced, by working diligently the magazine was assembled and issued to the school body for inspection. Because the students and faculty enjoyed the magazine so' much two more issues were published that year. This tri-annual publication has been organized, edited and sold by the sophomore members of N.H.S.

As a prerequisite to becoming a member of the Hi-Eye literary staff one must be a member of the Press Club. This club is open only to Sophomores who have a flair for writing and want to be reporters for Hi-Eye.
During the year the members learn the elementary skills of journalism and practice using these skills. Both Mr. Miller and the editors of Hi-Eye instruct the members in expression through writing.
Those persons who work diligently throughout the year are retained as reporters in their Junior and Senior years. The senior editors of the Hi-Eye Staff are picked from former members of press club.

One of the greatest freedoms in America is that of expression. Here at Eisenhower the 'freedom of expression' through music is emphasized in the band program. Band is offered as a credited course and as a pleasure course, the latter held only after school.
Mr. Holton, the director, and his musicians found that practicing every day is very profitable for the many appearances that they made throughout the year.
Of interest to the entire student body was the Band Assembly held in March of 1960. The group played many varieties of the classics, the populars, and the moderns, the result being: a most enjoyable concert which set the audience's feet to tapping.
During the year, the band sight reads approximately one hundred numbers including those on the All State Band lists. Regardless of the type of band activity, Mr. Holton still maintains the motto "Good music comes first." Because of this motto many of the members complained of the hard work that went into the practice of their music. This 'difficult' practice was justified when the N.H.S. musicians ranked among the best in the state competitions.
Out of the fourteen members who tried out for the All District Band, twelve were accepted. Seven of these received such high ratings that they were selected for the All State Regional Band. On top of all this, Norristown also sent seventeen of its members to the Valley Forge Area Band. Congratulations to a fine assemblage.

The Band room is the center of all vocal music activity at N.H.S.
Students interested in singing may try out for the Junior Choir. This group, which originated in 1930, is led by Mrs. Mary Downey Fluck, a capable artist in her own right. The choir meets daily and students receive credit toward graduation for participation. Entry into the choir is not automatic, for each student must pass a rigorous try-out which determines his musical ability. The audition is based on tests on tonal memory, time discrimination, melodic taste, pitch imagery, rhythmic imagery and sight reading.
The A Cappella Choir may be considered the "pros" in the vocal music department. After meeting definite requirements, a student is accepted and receives class credit. The best vocalists in the school are in the A Cappella Choir.
The Choir together with the Junior Choir and Girls' Chorus participates in the annual Christmas assembly, the Spring Music Festival and other fine programs throughout the year.

The joy and pleasure of reading is fulfilled by the Norristown High School Library. Under the capable direction of its librarians, Miss Rhoda Bowers and Mrs. Mary Balthaser, the library offers to many students several thousand volumes of casual novels, informative literature, and interesting periodicals. In order to assist in the carrying out of the many duties and responsibilities the " Library Club," a very active organization, has been developed. The primary functions of this club are to care for the many presently used books, prepare new books, prepare new books for circulation, sign out books, look after the properties of the library such as plants and furniture. To all who use it the library represents a symbol and opportunity for learning.

What is W3CTG? Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Sorry, but if you guessed any of the above you are well off the track for the mysterious W3CTG is Eisenhower's own radio station. This station, fully licensed by the federal government, is operated by the amateur radio club under the skillful direction of Mr. Dolas, faculty sponsor. This club meets weekly in the old bicycle room which is affectionately called the radio shack.
The hams have managed to reach places which most of us can only dream about. They have contacted such places as Hawaii, Germany, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Like many other fine organizations the radio club buys, maintains, and operates all of its own equipment.
One of the biggest activities of the year for this club is the annual emergency day in June. On this day the club operates continuously for twenty-four hours on their own electricity. Besides this, the club is involved in many other activities: their annual cake sale and the visitation to various industrial concerns are only a few.
These many activities prove conclusively that the amateur radio club is as busy as beavers throughout the year as they promote their club and try to learn more and better ways of being helpful to their community.

Every time you bought a soda at a dance or a basketball program at a game, you contributed to one of the School's worthiest organizations
the Key Club. This money earned by the club was used to help finance and support the football and wrestling camps, and work with the physically handicapped children.
The members are pledged to serve God, their country, school, and community. They work with the adult Kiwanis Club in community welfare drives, and when Norristown Public library has its annual book sale, the Key Club boys help to transport books and do everything possible in making the sale a success. They helped with the Kiwanis annual pancake day this year. These are just a few ways in which they serve their community and bring honor to their High School.
The Club is a branch of the International Key Club and went to the convention for the Pennsylvania Key Club District which was held in Pittsburgh.
New members of Key Club are nominated from every grade by the existing membership and then are elected by the club. The members-elect are subject to the approval of Mr. Kost, the principal, and Mr. Philip Rapp, the faculty sponsor.
The Club was under the capable leadership of their president, Elmer Romeis.
