Committees 19 5 7-19 5 8 There are five ofhcially recognized committees at Browne and Nichols, they vary widely in size, impor- tance, and activity. Undoubtedly, the most important is the Senior Council. Then come the Dance, Library, and Ring Committees. Last, and definitely least, is the Freedom-thru-Friendship Committee. The duties of the Senior Council consist of running study halls and handling any disciplinary problems con- cerning the students. The group has done an excellent job this year, due largely to the wonderful leadership of its chairman, Charlie Woodard. The other members this year were Bill Adams, john Shapiro, Bill Edwards, Don Emery, and john Van de Graaff. The Dance Committee is in charge of organizing and running the three dances which the school puts on each year. These boys perform the tedious, unglamorous work that must be done if any dance is to be a success. The chairman this year was John Van de Graaff, with Bill Adams as his assistant. The Library Committee supervises the libraryg its chairman was Jerry Moskow for the first part of the year, and then Dick Boonisar. The latter has done a particularly fine job. Since the school ring became standardized a few years ago, only one boy has been needed to serve on the Ring Committee each year. Charlie Woodard was the chosen one this year. We close with another one man committee: the Freedom-thru-Friendship Committeeg the man is none other than Lee Bloom. For further information, get in touch with Lee. Spectator - Torch The school year of 1957-58 has been one of change and improvement for the Spectator. A new pictorial cover was introduced together with a change in the masthead, the latter being a move to conserve space for more literary and sports articles. Personal contributions to the Spectator were many and varied. Art editor Bill Adams contributed many fine drawings to illustrate the stories. In the field of photography, Doug Wax and Ambrose Spencer worked long and hard to meet fast approaching press dead- lines. jon Narcus did an excellent job of organizing the sports coverage and together with Pete Slocum, Doug jackson, and john Van de Graaff wrote many of the articles. Mat Rubin, the business manager of both the Spectator and the Torch. and his assistants Mike Altman and jerry Tishler, were outstanding financial providers. Circulation was handled by Rick Butler and Bill Edwards. In the literary department, Lloyd Gup- till and Donald McCloskey consistently submitted in- teresting stories. I-lolgar Andresen should be com- plimented for his most interesting article on The Exv periences of an Exchange Student in the United States. The members of the Torch staFf were also busy dur- ing the year. Much of the photography was the hard work of Doug Wax and of Ambrose Spencer. Bill Adams provided invaluable assistance in his capacities as managing editor and art editor. The junior editors, Roger Brown, Bill Collins, and Truman Bewley, all put in a great deal of work, and have contributed much to this yearbook. The staffs of both the Spectator and the Torch have the objective of providing valuable contribution to school life. It is hoped that they have fulfilled this Front Row: left to right: Emery, Shapiro, Edwards, Woodard, Van de Graaff, Adams, Narcus.

However, far from being lost, the 1957 football season was a very valuable one in many ways. The team was composed largely of sopho- mores and juniors, most of whom had little or no pre- vious game experience. These boys, now seasoned by a year's playing, will be returning next year to form a strong, experienced team. The squad centered around the veteran nucleus of co-captains Art Cunningham and Iohn Shapiro, half- back Chuck Bailey, end Art Mason, tackle Doug lack- son, center Parky Blatchford and guard Rick Butler. Those new to BSLN varsity football were 'gSkip,' Sy- monds. Don McCloskey, Steve Caplan, Pete Slocum, Bob Boraks, Paul Keavy, Art Schoepfer, Mike Altman, Bob Mignone, Charlie Andresen, lim Massonovich and Bob Coyne. On Saturday, September twenty-eighth, the BsrN team tried its wings against Middlesex. In spite of two touchdowns scored by Cunningham and Mason, our team lost, 19-14. The following week, the team rolled into Ports- mouth Priory. Although twice getting inside the Priory 10 yard line, B8cN was unable to score, and were victims of long breakaway touchdown runs- score 19-0. ln this game, unfortunately, Simonds in- jured his leg, disabling him for the rest of the season. BSLN hit the Win columnl' on Saturday, October twelfth. After falling behind 7-6 in the first half, the team came back to beat Noble 5: Greenough, 12-7, an enormous boost to sagging morale. The touchdowns were scored by quarterback Pete Slocum and left half- back Art Cunningham.
