SMITH. MRS. JARRATT The two committees from the upper and lower schools have been closely related this year. Their cooperation was most effective in maintaining a high standard of entertainment in Bradley Hall. Dr. Overholt’s talk on smoking helped make us more aware of the physical dangers involved. Mr. MacManus's Irish folk talcs, narrated in his flowing brogue, held our attention, and after hearing him, many of us purchased his books. One of the most interesting assemblies was a demonstration of glass blotting in which many exquisite figurines were created before our eyes.

SOCIAL WELFARE Chairman: BETSY PALMER Faculty Advisor: MADAME FOUREL, MISS GILLESPIE Beyond the traditional projects close to home, such as the U.N.I.C.E.F. and the Red Cross drives, the Social Welfare Committee has aided charities as far away as Asia and Europe. The Committee sponsored an orphan. Pauline Weathers, at the Jolley Home Orphanage, and received enthusiastic financial support for this project from the student body. The students paid a dollar each for the privilege of wearing Bermuda shorts to school, and the proceeds from Bermuda Day paid for Pauline's tuition at the orphanage. Beaver helped spread the Christmas Spirit by singing carols at various institutions, and by sending two hundred stockings filled with small gifts to the Tewksbury State Hospital. During the year the Social Welfare Committee has aided more than twelve organizations. The committee is a small group representing the student body, and it has done a noteworthy job during the past year. First Row: Gyorgy. Holloway, Hamlin, Miss Gillespie, Mme. Fourel, Palmer. Perry, Teel. Second Row: Brog-gini, Weed. Broughton. Wright, Horn, Otis, Hayden, Barletta, Bagg. Wightman. Jolley, Wahn. Third Row: Sawyer.

LUNCHEON COMMITTEE Chairman EDITH BRADLEY Faculty Advisors MRS. KLEPPNER MRS. PERRY AH through fifth period vapors arise And visions of lunchtime dance fore our eyes. One o'clock bell ... we rush for the doors. Down to the lunchroom a hungry mob pours. The Luncheon Committee offers a box. We each pick a ticket, and none of us talks (Before grace.) Th Luncheon Committee is simply 'top drawer' And the food is so good we clamor for more. Our favorites are roast beef and lamb and spaghetti. Ice cream and pudding and apple brown betty. In addition to running the dining room well. Dodie and Company cookies did sell. Instead of our candy canes money we gave In the hope that in India a life we could save. Aware of accomplishments day after day, We acknowledge their service and gratefully say Thank you. First Row: Morrison, Wittenborg, Mrs. Klcppncr. Mrs. Perry. Bradley, Gardiner, Ziegler.
