THE MA 1939 ke Blue Book The Blue Book became an integral part of our Leominster High School in 1937. During the school year ’38-’39, this new organization developed under the student editorship of Robert Bothwell, William Gettens, Vincent Longo, and the faculty supervision of Miss Marie Concordia. Once initial inertia was overcome, the Blue Book speeded on toward perfecting the machinery necessary to present last minute news to the student body. This weekly has also served as an outlet for student opinions, a promulgating ground for student articles. If the Blue Book staff has made your high school career a little fuller, perhaps a little happier, it is satisfied; the purpose has been accomplished.

1939 The Magnet S taft The ‘““Magnet’’, under the able supervision of Miss Mary E. Colley, and Miss Mary Johnson, enjoyed a pleasant and prosperous year. Besides being a member of the Central Massachusetts Interscholastic Press Association (C. M. I. P. A.), the ““Magnet’’ has the added distinction of having its editor, Miss Margaret Pickford, the president of this organization. Some of the members of the ““Magnet’’ went to the meeting of the C. M. I. P. A. in Winchendon last November and to the spring meeting in Athol this May. At Christmas, the “Magnet”? held an exclusive Christmas party for its members and con- tributors in the school gymnasium. A large factor in the success of the ‘““Magnet’’ were the members, who co-operated in every way possible. Those on the Executive Board are: Margaret Pickford—’39 Theodore Cote—’40 Salvatore Novelli—’39 Dzvid Bassett—’40 Kathryn Welch—’39 Wallace Cunningham—’39 Antoinette Lanza—’39 Richard Arnold—’40 Marjorie Killelea—’39 Gloria Kay—’39 Rose Steinmetz—’39 Rodrigo Caffoni—’39 Clarice Mercier—’39 30

Oyrenestrn This year the Senior High Orchestra has thirty members. In connection with the glee clubs they took part in the ““Music of Many Lands” assembly. They played for the Interclass Play Contest and gave a very fine musical setting for the Senior Class Play, ‘““Macbeth.” In the joint concert with Fitchburg they played an interesting arrangement of Rachmaninofi’s Prelude in C Minor, and also the ever popular Rio Rita. And, as usual, they marched the Seniors in (and out) at the graduation exercises.
