20 Activity period on Tuesday mornings is one of the busiest hours of the L.H.S. school week. Walking down a deserted corridor, one may glance into any classroom and see students pursuing their various interests, whether these interests be in sociology, science, music, gymnastics, home economics, or the yearbook. The addition of new organizations this year to an already large number makes it possible for every student to participate in activities of special interest to him. Whether he is a member ofvan organization whose purpose is to interest him in a par- ticular vocation, or to have an enjoyable time skating, he finds that in a group of individuals who share his special interest, his Organization serves him by providing new friendships, new knowledge, and new experiences. These add dimension to his personality; they are an integral part of the process of mental growth.

22 MAGNET EDITORIAL STAFF FRANCENE NASH: Editor Many hours of work by many people are represented in this 60th edition of the Magnet. The editorial staff tried to portray the year 1963-1964 as it was for the students of L.H.S.: a year of transition, a year of growth, a year of newness of all things. The newly appointed staff started plan- ning the 1964 Magnet in June, 1963, with their advisor, Mrs. Judith Angelini. Photog- raphy, copywriting, and layout work hastened, fell behind and hastened again as the staff met three deadlines. They coped with incle- ment weather on days when outdoor photo- graphs were scheduled, reluctant seniors who ° were not available for photographs, and a critical deadline date which fell just after mid-year exams. In April the staff breathed a welcome sigh of relief when the final pages of copy were submitted to the pub- lishers. The finished book represents a tangible part of Leominster High School and records her first year in a new location. More than a memory book, to her editorial staff, the 1964 Magnet represents visible evidence of the ef- forts of a fortunate group of students who have learned much in this shared experience.
