An unexpectedly large turnout afforded an abundant supply of voices. We began the year looking ahead to a busy program including a Fall Con- cert, the operetta Oklahoma, and the annual spring Independent School Concert. All of these called for a great deal of hard work. On Friday, December 6, the Glee Club traveled to the House in the Pines School and sang the Faure Requiem and several other selections, with Bill Adams singing the two solos. After the concert there was a dance which was enjoyed by all. The participating schools were B8cN, Rivers, Roxbury Latin, and House in the Pines. During the first week in November the casting was done for Oklahoma The principals of the cast were Don Emery, Art Mason, and Pete Smith. The girls' parts were filled by three girls from Buckingham. The acting chorus was chosen from members of the B8zN and Buckingham Glee Clubs, and the supporting chorus consisted of the remainder of the two Glee Clubs. Per- formances were given on March 7 and 8. This was a rather unusual undertaking for a secondary school but the results were excellent, due largely to the fine direc- tion of Mr. Phillips. The Glee Club concluded the year by singing at graduation. Certainly this school year will be remem- bered as a highlight in the musical history of the school. Dramatics Club This year saw a break in tradition, as the Dramatics Club production was a modern comedy, written in the 1920's by the French playwrite jean Anouilh, entitled Thieves Carnival. The play is very light, and very funny. Even though the play was confined to a one nighter due to the Harvard-Yale game the next day, the general concensus of opinion was that it was well worth giving. The plot is basically the story of three noble, de- dicated, masterfully incompetent crooks, played per- suasively Q . . . and why not, with type-casting?j by Oliver Banks, Richard Craven, and Willis johnson. Banks played the leader, Peterbono, Craven his co- partner Hector, and johnson, an apprentice in the trade. After a typically successful morning of pick- pocketing, fthe haul included two cigarette lighters, of which they already had 703, out of which only a couple worked, and a cheap watch which one of the thieves had stolen from one of the other thieves, plus several cents in loose changej. The three crooks meet up with a tremendously wealthy heiress, Lady Huff, played by Dotia Friedrichs, and Lord Edgard, played by Doug Wax. Witlu them are their two nieces, Eva and Juliette, played by Marina Leven and Joanna Zacharias respec- tively. The thieves rush offstage, and return dressed up as Spanish grandees. Lady Hurf immediately recognizes them for what they are, but, being unutterably bored, she races up to Peterbono, flings her arms around him, and pretends to recognize him as a lover she had many years ago. She invites the crooks to her house. What follows includes robbery, intrigue, and romance- ending in the unmasking of Hector and Peterbono, and the elopement of Gustave, the apprentice crook with juliette.

Student Council ln this, the third year of the council form, the Browne and Nichols student government reached a high level of efficiency. In the past, many of the meetings called were prevented from transacting business because at- tendance totalled less than a quorum. However, all meetings called this year have been amply attended, demonstrating a definite increase in student interest in the council. Business has been executed quickly and decisively at these meetings, under the able guidance of our president, ,lon Narcus. Besides the usual Food Acts, tax legislation, etc., a few unusual measures were adopted hy the council. Not the least of these was a proposal which suggested limiting senior homework assignments on College Board weekends. The unanimous vote of the council, and the sound reasoning supporting the measure, seemed to have no effect on the illogical faculty, however, and Mr. Pratt vetoed the hill. Although the fact that jon Narcus was selected stu- dent governor of Massachusetts is not directly con- cerned with the Student Council's activities, we feel that this event is worthy of mention. jon delivered a superb speech tbetter than those ot many professional politiciansp on March fourteenth, which was heard by the student body on two television sets in the study hall. All in all, BRN student government this year has been characterized by an increase in volume and effective- ness of business done, and above all by a great improve- lfroul Row: left to right, Moscow, lllatchford, Narcus, NVoodard linicry. link Row: lcft to right: llazlcy, Adams.

The Black Key The Black Key was established four years ago for the purpose of building and maintaining an atmosphere of school spirit and hospitality. It has the responsibility of meeting and welcoming new students, guests, parents, speakers, and visiting teams. In addition it ushers at various school functions. These include the dramatic presentations in the fall and winter, the Pops Concert, and the closing exercises. It also helps preside at the school dances and the Sportman's Show. The membership of this organization consisted of Bill Adams, president, Donald Emery, secretary, the four student government ollicers, jon Narcus, Charles Wfood- ard, .Ieremy Moskow, and Parker Blatchford, and the presidents of classes 10, ll, 12. Elections are held each spring for the members ot the following year. Identified by the lapel pin bearing the Black Key, the organization hopes to have created a strong en- thusiasm, with the help and cooperation of all the stu- dents, for all the school activities.
