A spirited and friendly atmosphere existed in Adams House this year, and the students soon adapted themselves to the situation. The first major event of the year was a house assembly. Everyone screamed and clapped along with some music played by talented students and was amused by a skit presented by the faculty. All quietly agreed that none of the teachers would ever have to worry about careers in show business. Next on the agenda was a Holiday Party, which was a big success, even though it was planned entirely by students. The high note of the party was a ballroom dancing exhibition by the old smoothies, Housemaster Foster and Mrs. Chartier. In january Adams House was entertained with Bacon by the always popular Navy Band. The cats were wild over the cool hot jazz, but some complained of the lack of cute sailors. Adams stands at the head of the list of house, not only because it is the only house whose name begins with an A, but also because of the sincerity of those who lead ir: the unbeatable combination of Foster, Chartier, and Russo, Inc. - X ADAMS HOUSE

This former anti-smoking committee has come a long way in expanding to its present scope. Now called the Central Civics Commission, this service arm of the Associates Council is concerned mainly with projects that benefit the School and the student body. For example, conducting school elections, ushering for school events, regulating student parking, and improving school grounds have all been main functions of the Central Civics Commission. The Commission, headed by john Bilezikian, con- sists of each house civics committee chairman, a junior representative from each house, the chairman of the Orange Shield, the vice-president of the Associates, and the faculty advisor, Mr. Gradone. With money floating around the halls of Newton High School, an organization was needed to oversee the expenditure of this vast nebulous sum. The Finance Com- mission aids clubs by determining how much money the student organizations are taking in, why they are making money, or why they are losing money. Our economic situation is so well under control that undoubtedly a member of the Newton High School Finance Commission will be asked to join the Harvard team in Washington. -ug, 'an Roy Reiss.

, BACON HOUSE s ,s o' ' ' . . . . , o .- --- ' 0 . 1---Q Housemaster Swan Bacon House once again proved itself to be the best all-around house this year. The house must be praised for offering the use of its outstanding facilities to the rest of the school. Although there was a charge for admission to the auditorium at times, there was no minimum in the cafeteria, and all health programs in the gyms were given free of charge. A peaceful relationship was maintained with the Main Office. the Principal's Office, the Vice Principals Office, and the College Records Office, all of which are allowed to stay only if they are good. Besides helping the school, Bacon took part in many other worthwhile activities. Among these were the Holiday Party, at which Bacon students met Housemaster Swan, Mr. Mechem, and Mr. Gradoneg a performance by the fabulous Navy Band: and a decision rendered by the renowned NPITSP Committee. This group, try as it did to find traffic problems similar to those enjoyed by other houses, strongly supported Non- Participation In Traffic Squad Programs. With radical thinking like this, the other houses should watch Bacon House carefully. Ty?F- I' Imp' V 5 'Xi K 4. l 4 E.-v FIRST ROXY: Margie Sullivan. Ken? Kopans.
