Of course, you seniors want to know who is going to carry on at the Chelsea Senior High School after you ve left. With a glance at the record of the junior class, this year, in school activities, I do mean carry on. First of all, a peek at their form of government, in¬ stituted some years ago by Mr. Webber, the Junior Council consists of two representatives, a boy and a girl, chosen by each junior home room together with the four class officers who are elected by popular vote, Alan Kiarfaen, President, James Cotter, Vice-President. Helen Dancewicz, Secretary; James Nugent, Treasurer. This democratic form of government offers each stu¬ dent the opportunity to express his own opinion. The earnest enthusiasm and full cooperation of the student body grows out of the fact that the class feels that the representatives elected know their wishes and will ex- As the first illustration of their splendid cooperation in school ac¬ tivities, we refer to the sc-nioi play. Each year, as is the cuslorn the junior class is requested by the graduating class to assist In selling tickets. Everyone, eager to do his part set to work selling tickets — the result - a bigger delegation of juniors at the senior play than ever before. Such an excellent beginning gave way to even greater success. Helping upper classmates is one thing while the entire management ot an affair for your own class is somewhat different and naturally calls for double effort and responsibility, the fact that the Junior Prom turned out to be such a complete success is proof enough of the abilities of the Junior Council. During the course of the entire year this same aft ' tude toward school activities prevailed in the junior class, capable leaders and a cooperative class full M enthusiasm. Looks like they’re really going +c carry or- for dear old C. H. S. in 1943. JUNIOR EXECUTIVES Pane Twenty H»r«e

STUDENT COUNCIL AND CLASS OFFICERS !n every well-organized corporation there are chosen individuals representative of the whole unit. Since our corporation is also systematized, we too, have de¬ vised a plan wherein coordination is successfully car¬ ried out. Our employees desirable of pleasure as well as business have selected two members, a boy and a girl, from each subordinate plant. And as in former years thc-lr trust has been put in very able hands. These council men determine the place, date, time and other necessary arrangements of the various social events sponsored throughout the working year. The council was lead by four class officers. As presi¬ dent there was popular Joseph Evans whose experience a ,; Junior President rendered him capable and trust¬ worthy. Handsome Joseph Van Handorf, who intends to enter the University of New Hampshire, won the coveted seat of Vice President while Eleanor Sis ' Finn, a graduate of Carter Junior High School, made a charming and efficient secretary. As for the finan¬ cial end, this was left in the creditable hands of George Bernstein. This council met in room 222 as often as necessary to carry out their plans. The Senior Prom was one of their first great under¬ takings and if this affair may be used as o criterion theirs will be and in fact was a successful year. All hough the choice of pictures and rings was de¬ cided directly by the entire Bea and Con Corpora tion, the next task, the selection of the senior play director was left lo the council ' s discretion.

Mr. Anderson, Joe Evans, and Miss McMillan SENIOR ADVISERS Tnis was an enjoyable year, but its success was due in no small measure to our directors, Miss MacMillan, and Mr. Anderson. Both are especially qualfled ter their positions, Miss MacMillan, a Radcliffe graduate and Mr. Anderson, a Colby alumnus. Miss MacMillan, a charming and patient board member, directs one of our history plants, while Mr. Anderson, a gray-haired gentleman, is in charge of one of the research laboratories. They have helped and guided us over many a stumbling block. It Is to them v o owe our eternal thanks and gratitude. Last year wc were befuddled Sophomores. This year we ore the Junior class, but a success only because we were aided magnificently by our directors Miss Denning and Mr. Carroll. Miss Denning, whose charming personality has endeared her to us all is a graduate of Regis College and Boston University. Mr. Carroll, an ail around grand person, is a graduate of Boston College. Each of them successfully directs an English plant. Wc offer them our sincere thanks and deep appreciation for their guidance throughout the year. JUNIOR ADVISERS T wenty-tcur
