The curtain rose: the students who filled the auditorium gazed reverently at the Alpha Pi initiates seated on the stage. They saw their friends and classmates receiving the pins and pendants which denote one of the highest honors at B.H.S., membership in the Honorary Society. Such was the scene this year when several proud and happy students gained ad- mittance to the society. Alpha Pi connotes excellence and leader- ship, especially in the case of President Ralph Wharton, who had twenty-three and three quarters points. This is the highest point total received by any B.H.S. student since nineteen- hundred and thirty-nine. More than eight per cent of this year ' s senior class have become members of Alpha Pi. To gain admittance to the society, you must have a well-balanced record of extra- curricular and scholastic achievements which add up to the required number of points, eight In your junior year, and ten by the middle of your senior year. The purpose of this organi- zation Is to recognize scholarship and leader- ship, thereby stimulating ambition for these achievements.

AERO CLUB ROW I : Church, Yarchln, Simmons, Queen, Knudsen, Singleton. ROW 2: Mr. Warren, Dodge, Goldman, O ' Brien, Rosenberg, Flack, Kugell, Harrison, Erskine. AERO (CLUB Off we go, into the wide, blue yonder, rid- ing high into the sky. . . . In a tew years, some fliers from the Aero Club may sing this song as members of the United States Air Corps, but this year they have been busy on the con- struction angle of aviation. Under the able leadership of the faculty adviser, Mr. Warren, and the president, Marshall Simmons, the Aero Club has considered the problems and possi- bilities of such interesting fields as aerody- namics, rockets, and jet-propulsion. However, the main goal of the club is to teach students the construction and flying of model airplanes. The Aero Club went to the Logan Interna- tional Airport in East Boston, where they ob- served planes and facilities. That day they had a special treat, for the whole club was taken up in one of. the planes on a flight ar- ranged with the airport officials. Some of the finished producfs of the mem- bers were on view in the cases outside room 331. There you could have seen the fine work done by the air-minded of Brookline High, and appreciated their interesting hobby. Faculty Adviser: MR.

ART CLUE A great artist can paint a great picture on a small canvas. . . Among the artists demon- strating the truth of this quotation are the members of the B.H.S. Art Club, who have shown their artistic ability on many occasions during the year, notably Barbara Tabachnik, winner of the National Rexteen Compact De- sign Contest. With talent and enthusiasm these gay young artists, led by their president, Rhoda Stone, met weekly with Mrs. Woodberry to dabble in oils, charcoal, or pastels. Throughout the year the club members made several trips to artists’ studios where they had the opportunity of watching artists at work and attending lec- tures and demonstrations. This year the an- nual Art Contest was open to every student who wished to participate, and the judges in- cluded not only the members of the Art De- partment but also the seniors who were com- peting for the Lincoln Medal. By affording a source of expression for those B.H.S. who are Interested in Art, the Art Club has fulfilled its purpose of giving students who do not take Art the chance to become fa- miliar with It and to enjoy it.
