Iso Elected - the lhlelic ouncil ATHLETIC COUNCIL Pauline Robertson, Lawrence Green, Mr. Eaton, Robert Wallace, Mr. Yonker. The election of the Athletic Council emphasized the fact that fall is an important time in sports -particularly football. It was the athletic coun- cil's job to make the schedules for all the high schools sports, to OK. contracts with other schools, and to provide care for injured players. The council is composed of Mr. Thomas Yonker, faculty managerg Mr. Ralph A. Eaton, principal, and an elected representative from each of the three upper classes. Mr. Eaton served as president of the council this year. james Wzilsli was vice- president. and Pauline Robertson, secretary. CHEIER CLYB OFFICERS .loan Starr, .Iune Brarlhury, Hell-nmaiit Doe, Kathleen Rooniy. There is little publicity given to the activities of the Athletic Council, but the work it does is appre- ciated by every D.H.S. rooter. Early fall was also the time when D.H.S. cheers echoed through the corridors after school as the Cheer Club got going. Nearly every girl in school belongs to the Cheer Club, the purpose of which, naturally enough, is to form an organized cheering section at the school games. The girls pictured on this page were the ollicers of the club. I-lelenmarie Doe was presidentg Joan Starr, vice-presidentg june Bradbury, treasurer, and Kathleen Rooney, secretary. The club earned S145 with its Pigskin Parade dance and used the money to hire buses for out-of- town games. The girls all wore red and gray beanies on these trips and provided an attractive advertisement of Dedham's school spirit. Mrs. York and Mr. O'Neil, who acted as chap- erons on the bus trips, were elected honorary mem- bers of the club. The Cheer Club is still a rather new Dedham High activity. Its leaders won't be satisfied until every pupil here is a member of it.

Leu Downing, In the elections Richard Kohut and Mary Mace Donald won for the fourth time. and I.eo Down- ing was again successful in offering his shoulder to the girl voters. In the most spirited contest- that for class treasurer - Edmund SchiSSel emerged the victor. Then the executive committee, whose picture tops this page. was chosen, and the class organiza- tion got down to the important business of running a senior class. There were two dances to run, a Senior Prom to plan for, and caps and gowns to be selected Rich though the class was from the suc- cessful dances of its first three years. its budget for the fourth year- including Reflections and the Class Banquet-had to be handled carefully. Wfith the able assistance of Mr. Smith, the offi- cers and the executive committee followed a plan of getting things done early. A photography comf mittee got right to work, with the result that Armands was chosen as the class photographer in time to get the football pictures you see farther on in this book. Committees for the Senior Play were selected early enough so that the class was saved some eighty dollars for scenery rental when the boys fixed up their own. l7l As this is written, the executive committee is still working on the final details of the budget. They hope to make the tax charged class members for Refiections and the banquet surprisingly low. Our class officers have run things well. They been enterprising in raising money and cautious in spending it. They deserve our applause. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS liirhziiil Kohui. Leo Downing, Eilnninil Svhissel. Hairy Mat-Donalrl.

You Could'nl Help caring g the Band 4 MAJOR!-ZTTES Marie Raftmy, Janet 'I':1ylor, Kathryn Nihart, Marlt-nv Murray, Anna Mzittozzi, lxIlt't'l- HIM, Pvllllb' Ryan. Natalie Dobson, Mary Kohut, Ialry Nichols. Almost the first day of school it began marching and playing-X periods. after school, and eve- nings. This was an important year for the band, as it carried on the fund-raising campaign begun the year before, and, with Eng days adding to the generous contributions of Dedham organizations, finally had the necessary S1200 for new uniforms. As this was written, the band had made only one public appearance in its new hnery- when it went to the Band Festival at New Bedford-and those who hadnt seen the new uniforms then were looking forward to the Memorial Day parade. when they were to be displayed to the whole Town of Dedham. The drum majorettes proved such an attraction at games that Mr. Beattie was planning to have a whole corps of them ready for next fall. He also was hoping that the new uniforms would induce many more pupils to join the band-free games, free fun, free instruction, all this and credit points, too! The new uniforms were designed by Sylvia Mc- Guire. . Needless to say. this talented girl was a member of the one and only class of 1949. FIRST ROW - 'l'. Vllatson, J. Hampe, E. Hzirju, S. Allen. G.
