Presentation of colors and assured ourselves of iveil-planned assemblies . The assembly period each Friday was something to look forward to; thanks to the fine work of the Assembly Committee and those taking part in the programs, it was never disappointing. This year the Committee chose as its chairman, Sue Gordon, who has worked with Miss Walton and the members of the Committee to produce a broad variety of assem¬ blies. There have been serious programs such as the vocational help panels of Mr. Darling and moving dramas such as the impressive United Nations program. The Chameleons have presented several exceptional pUys; they have also sponsored outside features; it was surely fascinating to watch Mr. Rodman experiment with that make-up of his. The Chorus presented the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas pro¬ grams, both of high quality. Occasionally, the Assembly Committee turned the period over to private groups, independent of school sponsorship. One of the most memorable assemblies produced by independent groups was per¬ haps that offered by the Melody Makers, a student band which performed much to the enjoyment of the audience. As every year, a special feature was the assembly devoted to the Na¬ tional Honor Society. Another traditional program was the Award Assembly, at which many prizes were given out: athletic jackets and trophies, the Har¬ vard Book, the Wellesley Awards, and the Spanish Award. The Assembly Committee has done an outstanding job, not only in presenting fine assemblies, but also in bringing together all the organizations and groups of the school to give them an opportunity to display their achievements before the entire school.

Down the field marched the gaily dressed members of the band, their red capes snapping briskly in the cold air. Their jaunty rhythm was matched by the high-stepping twirlers, whose silver batons flashed up, down, and around with never a missed beat. On the sidelines, nine forms in white and red cheered enthusiastically, suc¬ cessful in their attempt to stimulate the excitement of the crowd. A swarm of banners waved to and fro, proclaiming their owners’ allegiance. Coat collars were turned up to ears; breaths were white on the crisp air as songs and cheers were sounded; feet were pounded on the stands in step with the exhilarating marches of the band. All this a background for an undefeated team! SCHOOL BAND I 1 - «« r n 1 1 v V BAND First Row: D. Battaglia, S. Stover, J. Merrill, J. Gallerani. Second Row: J. Clifton, R. Morse, S. Airems, R.
