While it was created to give recog- nition to the outstanding literary works of the school, it also serves as a school newspaper, reporting and reflecting school life. The formation of the new art depart- ment provides those interested in photog- raphy or drawing with an opportunity to contribute their talent. The Chameleon sponsored a widely-publicized literary con- test based on the quotation from john Donne, No man is an island ..., which was won by Miphi Brooks. Much of the credit for the Chame- leon's excellence this past year has been due to the guidance of Miss Mendenhall, our faculty advisor, and the efiicient lead- ership of Marge Reynolds.

Another facet of the Music Department is the Choir, a small group of girls particularly interested in music who meet faithfully once a Week with Miss Loring. The Choir has worked on a repertoire of 16th Century songs. The Ensemble meets with Mr. Brown once a week. A special vote of thanks should go to Miss Loring, for her inspiring leadership, and to Connie, for her amazing efficiency. Separately, both choruses had a full schedule of entertainment. The Flats sang with Groton in November, Andover in February and closed their choral season by entertaining Brooks in April. The Sharps performed with the Bel- mont Hill Glee Club in january, and were hostesses to Exeter in March. In addition, each chorus gave a separate Christmas Concert in the Middlesex Chapel, singing the Bach B Minor Mass, our major accomplishment of the year. J ABBERWO-CKS V. White, C. Adams, C. Wells, A.

Olde English theme which transformed the gym into a quaint English village, complete with ye olde shoppes laden with the goods prepared by the students, faculty and friends of the school. The Fair was a definite financial triumph, as well as a lot of fun, for we made 351,275.38 This money has been divided among a number of charitable organizations chosen by the school. .fifizazy Qommiftaa The Library Committee is not an associ- ation of bookworms. The only resemblance it bears to same is that its members may frequently be found hiding in, or behind, books, trying to avoid someone who wants work done. It is headed by two people who are just the right size for this-Ansti Greene and Fran Behr. Aside from this it maintains a small police force of people who peer over one's shoulder, ostensibly to see if one is hoarding a library book, and do inscrutable things with hiero- glyphics inside other books. This, being its second year of existance, the Library Committee hasn't been too vociferous about its proceedings. However, upon bearding the lions in their den, we find them full of plans and ideas, so it looks like we may find ourselves with an organ- ized library system before long, under the able guidance of Miss Young. 5 510505 Gund Service Fund is the school organization which directs all charitable drives and services. This year we have collected everything from students ffor volunteer visiting aidj to tin cans of foodg from clothes for Hungarian relief to money, The most important function of the Service Fund is to organize and present, with the help of the school, an annual Fair, which this year was held before Christmas.
