Mr. Bates and Co. Murivian Business Staff As the “Proper Bostonian” was strolling along the third floor cor- ridor one afternoon, he heard the clamor of voices along with the jingling sound of money. He peeked into the noisy room, and was as- tonished to see many girls handling piles of money to two managers and a teacher, whom he recognized as Mr. Bates. Mr. Bostonian asked one of the girls just what it was all about. “You mean that you don’t know about the Murivian!” she exclaimed. Of course he knew about the Murivian. As a matter of fact he had just reserved a copy of the 1952 edition. The girl explained that his dollar down-payment was among the thousands of dollars that he had just been looking at. This money would go toward publishing a wonderful yearbook. Very much impressed, he thanked the girl and ran off to tell his friends to hurry and reserve their copies of the Murivian.

I ' crky pliolosrapliers Murivian Editorial Staff One can easily see, on wandering into Room 121 any day after school, from September to May, how a prize winning yearbook is pro- duced. For the past eight years, the Editorial Staff of the Murivian has produced a first place yearbook. Slowly but surely, the copy, lit- erary, art, and photography divisions assemble their material. Thus the busy Murivianites combine their efforts to produce the annual year- book. By working together as a cooperative enterprise, the staff is able to put out this famed book. The effort that is demonstrated in the compiling of the Murivian makes the staff appreciate more fully the importance of their positions. When the book is finally finished and the last statistic has been compiled, the last draft corrected, the last lay- out designed, and the last photograph developed, everyone from the Editor-in-Chief, down to the last junior apprentice, can truly look back and say, “It ' s a good job well done.” The copy staff The topineii — Elsa and Mr. Coe ROW 1: Jacobson, Banks, Gorfinkle, Chin, Robinson, Borkum, Kahn.

School Committee The School Committee, which dedicates itself to the betterment of education in the Brookline Public Schools, gives us innovations which help to keep BHS among the top secondary schools in the country. They were the power behind the North Wing, which has benefited every student in innumerable ways. This year they have sanctioned, among other things, an auto-driver course which has already proved itself to be a great success. By maintaining high standarck and faith in the ability of youth, the School Committee has given us a stimulus for which we are grateful.
