The girls were res- ponsible for keeping the books in order and maintaining quiet in the library. In the course of a year many amusing things happened, but the event they are sure to remember for quite a while is the time the letters were re-arranged on the bulletin board so the title Braintree Sprouts ap- peared over the pictures of our football players. Naturally the mistake was ac- cidental. The officers of the staff were Barbara Sellgren, president; Norma Gecrge, vice-president; Virginia Forsythe, secretary; and Joan Adams, treasurer. Practice makes perfect! That is what the future nurses from Braintree High School thought. They gladly donated one after- noon a week to the project of morale lift- ing. The Junior Red Cross girls made unique and charming tray favors to please the veterans, handicapped children, and hospital patients. Delegates went into the Red Cross Chapter House in Boston once a month to compare activities at B. H. S. with the groups from many other high schools. There were always interesting happenings at the Red Cross center. The Junior Red Cross group was always eager to have new girls join as there was plenty of cheering-up to be done, but there was also plenty of fun in doing it. a jl ate nee Alighting naaies L nil ' ll-

PARLEY-VOUS FRANCAIS? Do you speak French? Yes? Then le Circle Francais is just the club for you. With Mile. Richards as interpreter, the meetings were conducted entirely in French right down to the secretary ' s re- port! After the business meetings con- ducted by the officers Alan Millen, Mary McConnell, Mary Lou Soule, Ken Simon- son, and Jean Lindblow, entertainment was presented in the form of French stories and skits put on by the club mem- bers. Probably the main attraction to this club was that it was the only one to serve refreshments at every meeting! (

£ oitsa £ One of the indispensable parts of a foot- ball game is a peppy marching band. We were a little prejudiced, of course, but there didn ' t seem to be any other band quite as good as that of B. H. S. Not only was our band colossal, it was energetic. The drummers have been trying to keep it quiet, but there are rumors that four or five of their drums were broken during the course of the football season. Lead by Mr. Arthur Hauck and his assistant, Mr. Donald Hayward, this forceful group will undoubtedly be the most famous band since Sousa ' s. jj-ot ' J-la tnioniTetJL f Dig Braintree ' s answer to the old Miller dance band. The hot harmonizers claim that Mr. Arthur P. Hauck took the Street band, extracted the musicians, grouped them together, and the result was the most melodious music makers ever. Hauck and the Harmonizers arranged the hits of the day to entertain us whenever called upon. Looking forward we see Alan Millen replacing Freddy Gardner with his alto sax, Dick Klay as Tex Beneke with his tenor sax, Gene Courier as Harry James, Mary Coletti as Ziggy Elman, Dick Tilton as Tommy Dorsey, and Henry Daly as Gene Krupa.
