SENIOR PLAY The senior play, Double Wedding was given at the Town Hall on March 25, and through the expert coaching of Mrs. Hitchens it was a decided suc- cess. The story of this comedy con- cerns the domineering Augusta Col- bert, who throws false hearts attacks to force her husband and children to coincide with her wishes. Had not her husband Georges mother arrived on the scene, Gussie would have had her children married to Folks they don't love, as Grandma put it. The kindly grandma, however, reveals the bluff, the children marry whom they really want, their mother is cured by a distinguished foreign doctor, and all ends in happiness.

This year it was felt that this body was too unwieldy and that up- perclassinen should have more in- fluence than their less experienced colleagues. For these reasons the council was reorganized and now con- tains four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. Thomas llonayne was elected presi- dent and Emily Fraccalire, secretary. ln May three delegates were sent to the Student Council Convention in Dedham. There they listened to ad- dresses, elected oflicers, took part in round table discussions, visited the historic Fairbanks house, and had an opportunity of exchanging ideas with councelors from other schools. It was a most constructive and valuable experience. Throughout the year the student council sought to bring about better relations between students and teach- ers. It was consulted in matters of policy and discipline and gave the student's reaction to these matters. Mr. Anketell and Mr. Donovan show- ed the greatest enthusiasm and pa- tience in helping the council to under- stand more clearly the aims and pur- poses of faculty rulings and actions. Such great cooperation between stu- dents and teachers was displayed that all difficulties and misunderstandings that arose were speedily overcome. Robert Dallahan.
