The blare of trumpets, the sound of clashing cymbals signal the approach of the Brookline High School band, bringing the packed stands at Tech Field to their feet with a mighty roar. This year was marked by a definite increase in the quality and quantity of fhe Band ' s repertoire. Under the baton of Mr. Corley or sfudent leader Dick Jaffe, the Band performed ably at many school events and special functions. The various section leaders of the Band were David Rosenthal, flute and piccolos; Robert Levenson, clar inet; Ralph Wharton, saxophone; Wallace West, French horn; Michael Dukakis, trumpet; Paul Rosenberg, trombone; Bradford Brown, bass; and Gene Farley, drums. One of the primary duties of our school band was to perform af the home football games. Whether striking up the Alma Mater and bringing the Brookline rooters to their feet, or putting on a between-halves exhibition of playing and precision marching, the constant drill of the Band was evident with its every move. No one can deny that all eyes were on the Brookline Band as it marched down Tech Field, and it is almost cer- tain that most of fhe admiring glances were drawn by the shapely and skillful Band Majoreftes, led by Head Majorette Lorraine Merrithew and including Mary Jane Coyne, Beatrice Lacy, Pauline Stoia and Betty Walters. LORRAINE MERRITHEW AND HER PEPPY MAJORETTES SPARK THE GAMES. Our Band often outdid Itself when called upon for outside engagements. The first of these was when they played at the Boston University versus New York University football game at Fenway Park. Spectators, television fans, and press alike had nothing but high praise for the Corleymen presented a full scale concert. Playing a classical program. Later in the year the Bandsmen, for the first time In history, the band exhibited its ability to play widely diversified types of music with ease. Finally the entire ensemble participated in the State Music Festival and in the New England Music Festival where its performance established it as one of the best units in Massachusetts. Thus we hail the 1949 triumphs of our school band and, in doing so, we fully realize that it has set a standard which the aggregations of future years will find difficult to maintain. 22

MEYERS AND JOAN ZUKER AT THE BANKING CENTER OF B.H.S. BANK STAFF Money, money, money. ... I’m surrounded by it! This was the silent groan of each mem- ber of the Bank Staff on busy bank-day morn- ings during the year. The Bank Staff, com- posed of over one hundred and fifty messen- gers and clerks and aided by Mr. Meyers, has performed an admirable job of depositing the savings of B. H. S. and maintaining the high post-war record, which doubled all pre-war accounts. Every other Tuesday throughout the year B .H. S. was the scene of furious but efficient activity as the tellers collected and counted the deposits from their respective homerooms, and the messengers carried the money to banking headquarters where It was counted and recounted by Ruth Suskin, Anne Bernstein, and Raisa Kemler, faculty assistants. The Bank Staff Is one of the most vita! or- ganizations of the school: for as Mr. Meyers has said, The teaching of thrift and of regu- lar sj Sutematlc saving Is necessary In order to participate intelligently In adult life. Bank for your future needs. . . . Bank for your own security. . . . Bank for the pressing demands of your senior year! Faculty Adviser: MR.
