THE SASSAMQN LITERARY STAFF For the literary staff of the Sassamon, the year 19584959 has been one of great activity Each staff. in its oin held has tried to make the Sassamon a truly representative publication, a newspaper of which the entire school could feel a pan. We End in each of the Smimon newspapers published this year, not only the work of the students who have been elected t o be reporters and editors, but contributors from the faculty and the general student body. Miss Patricia Hope of the English department served once again as the advisor to the Satsimun. Nancy Hunt was the editor-in-chief and Mary Pierce was the assistant editor. Karen Moore news editor made sure that her reporters were always on hand at newsworthy events. From the Science Fair to the Coed gym, not a “scoop” was missed. The features staff under the direction of Karen Ruge!!, features editor, was in charge of keeping the students happy. The feature pages were fiHed with jokes, quotes and picture . A dose and accurate coverage of Olympic 1 ' games and matches was kept by James Bradford ' s sports staff. The scores of both girls ' and boys ' athletic events were recorded faithfully on the famous back page of the SitMunoa. Celia Biagetti ' s literary staff supplied the fiction from the pens of Natkk High s most notable literary talent. Ideas from other schools appeared in Dianne Dixon ' s lively ex¬ change column. Of course where would the Sassamon have been without the art staff, the typing staff, and Jonathan Padover (nicknamed Patient John¬ nie” ) staff photographer. When the Sassam ascot Contest was held, the industrial arts depart¬ ment made a bright red box and stand to serve as a receptacle for entries. It was neatly lettered by rhe art department and later, served to receive contributions for the Quips and Queries Yankee Trader, and general suggestions. The Sassamastui contest was won by Richard Harris room A 162 The principle which the Sassamon has tried to apply to itself this year was best summed up by Nancy Hunt in an early editorial. The Sassamon of 19584939 has tried to be a sounding board of student opinion wi th something for everyone. THE BUSINESS STAFF OF THE SASSAMON The Business Staff of the Sutsmom, our school newspaper, is com cable to the stage hands of a play. Without it the paper could never published. The staff is composed mainly of three divisions: first, the managerial: second, advertisement, and third, subscriptions. The manager ' s respon¬ sibility with the help of his assistant is to sec that the work is done properly and on time; and to see rhat things run smoothly. Heading the advertisement division of the staff is a very important job. It is that person s responsibility to see that all rhe merchants of Natick hape been solicited for support of the paper .and to see that the bills are issued and the money received from the advertisers Next on our list is the subscrip¬ tions division. The person heading this committee must sec that every pupil of Natick High has been approached and urged to buy a subscrip¬ tion to our school newspaper. The work of both divisions is done by all the members of the staff and is assigned by the head. The business staff can boast of the fine work it has done this year through advertisements and subscription It had record-breaking figures in both instances — advertisers numbering 105 and subscriptions amounting to 629. Work for this staff begins almost immediately with the opening of school. Advertisements, which help give the financial support to the paper must be obtained rypedup, and placed on sheets of paper ready to go to the printer. Also subscriptions must be obtained from the students. All this work has to be completed before the first issue goes out in October, From then on, the run is slowed down to a walk. However the bills must be put out and the money received. Each month the ads ate set up on sheets of paper to go to the primer; and when the paper returns from the printer, it is the duty of the business staff to fold the papers, and to distribute them to the subscribers Then, too. compli¬ mentary papers are sent out by (his staff to every advertiser. This year football buttons were sold and help was given toward the preparation of the Sadie Hawkins Dance which is put on by the Summon Under the able assistance of Mr. Murphy and Mr. Anderson, the Simmon Business Staff has concluded a very enjoyable and successful year,

The Senior Play, Dear Ruth, was the first big problem to be dis cussed. It was decided that the price was to be one dollar per person. The senior class presented the cast members with silver pins and tie clasps for their hard work. The play was a success, and a profit was made. Near to l c decided were preparations for the Christmas Cotillion, with Nat Walsh ' s orchestra. The decoration committee, under Joyce Burt, transformed the cafeteria into a fairyland palace for the dance. For the first time a Yulctidc Queen, Marilyn Mitchell, was chosen by the chaperones. The established price for the yearbook was 12AO for seniors and teachers; $3 00 for underclassmen The final choice for the size was medium. Last year ' s executive board elected Luring as a photographer for our class pictures. The pictures were taken the first week in January, and proofs were returned a week later. Actual pictures were received the first week in March. The remaining part of the year was spent discussing plans for Senior Week activities and the class reunion. This may seem early to plan a reunion, but many of our classmates won t see each other from graduation day until the reunion. JUNIOR EXECUIVE BOARD Front row: T, Roskey, S. Fgan, P.
