Student council President lisa Bertini organized the trip for both members and nonmembers <strong>of</strong> student council. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Al Matthews, James Pulvino, Mrs. Ida Margolis and some <strong>of</strong> the students' parents. The 52 in attendance left <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> on a chartered bus at 8:30 a.m. for New York and they arrived home about 8:30 that evening. Before the show, the students separated into groups with their chaperones and dined at various EDITORIAL restaurants. They then met at the Shubert Theatre for Joseph Papp's "A Chorus line." The show was a musical that was based upon the experiences and lives <strong>of</strong> dancers on Broadway. The scene was an audition for a Broadway chorus line which included many musical numbers. The characters tried out for the chorus line and also told <strong>of</strong> their experiences in dancing. The show was about three hours long. The group then headed home after an enjoyable day. Mr. Matthews, student council adviser, commented, "Everyone had a super time despite the bad weather. As representatives <strong>of</strong> OCHS the students conducted them-, Tim Morris adjusts a selves very well.'I Schiebein. During the school year, class <strong>of</strong>ficers are elected Dy the students. The <strong>of</strong>fices are president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and sometimes historian. The elections for these <strong>of</strong>fices seem to end up more as a popularity contest rather than an election for <strong>of</strong>ficers. It does not seem fair that some students win because they have a lot <strong>of</strong> friends to vote for them when there are those who will really work hard. Sometimes a person will run for <strong>of</strong>fice lust for the title and because it will look good on their school records. Many tunes these students do not come to the meetings or help their class in any way, yet they were elected by their class to hold an <strong>of</strong>fice. It's not surprising to see the students who did not win the election — who are doing twice as much work as the student who won the election over him. There really aren 't many ways to solve this problem. The faculty cannot be asked to decide the election because the students should have the right to choose their class <strong>of</strong>ficers. The only thing that can be done is to request that the students vote for the person who they believe would work for the class and try to do a good job while in <strong>of</strong>fice. They should remember that an election is not a popularity contest but an important aspect <strong>of</strong> student government. An <strong>of</strong>ficer is in <strong>of</strong>fice for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the class and if the students want their class to be successful, they should remember this during the elections.

Fathoming disco rituals By ERICA BASTOW Going to the disco on weekends has become one <strong>of</strong> America's favorite pasttlines. Dancing has become quite a social must, but no one really the comedy <strong>of</strong> it aB. Goto a disco some night and simply sit down and observe everyone else. It's enough to make you start laughing in stitches. There are so many people who come to the disco as fairly normal, level-headed persons, but after a few minutes <strong>of</strong> the flashing lights and music, they quite <strong>of</strong>ten become sex-crazed maniacs whose only object is to pick up chicks-studs. The methods are really quite comical to watch and any psychologist would have a grand time studying nun's driving animal instincts. This is the subject to be discussed — the disco scene, particularly the various methods people use to catch the interest <strong>of</strong> the opposite sex. The first, and perhaps the most common method <strong>of</strong> maUng a score at the disco is the "can I buy you another drink?" routine.

The prospective date comes up to you, introduces himself, tiU down and says something like "there are so many better places than this to go, you want to find some?" or the ever popular "let's get away from all these phonies and go over to my pad."
