SCENE IN CAFETERIA 0ur Cafeteria iq fafm fagce Under the new management of Mrs. Birdella Harrington our service with a smiley cafeteria has become extremely popular. Both the teachers and boys who buy their lunches have commented on the improvement of the food in the past year. Mr. Coulston also informed me that the purchasing of food in the lunchrooni has greatly increased this year. The cleanliness of the cafeteria has also been greatly praised by all who enter it. Many thanks and much praise is given to the ladies who donate their services throughout the year in order that the boys of Dorchester High may have the Proper things to eat.

Kale Band The school band got off to a bad start this year but progressed slowly through the year. Through the careful supervision of Mr. Dono- van, the band has obtained the necessary boost that it needed and now stands a very good chance of winning top honors in the annual schoolboy parade, this year. The Captain is Peter Davidson who is assisted by Lieutenants, Saul Medoff, Clint Harrington and WValter John- son. Other members of the hand are: Howard Brown. Edward Callahan, Harry Douglas, Charles Edgerly, Robert Finn, Ernest Canem, john Cately, Robert Kral, Iohn and Thomas Pic- 58 RED AND BLACK ard, Frank Quigley, Richard Rain, Edmund Rear- don, Richard Souza, George WVinn, and Robert W'illiams. Drum and Bugle Corps The Drum and Bugle Corps has shaped itself into one of our finest oraganizations this year under the direction of Mr. Donovan. It is not quite as large as last year, but the quality sup- places the lack of quantity. The drum major is Elliott Mogul assisted by Harvey Goldstein, the Captain of the corps, and his assistants, Elliot Cohen and James YValsh. Right- Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, Orchestra

Frederick A. Zajac representing Dorchester High School for Boys is greeted by Mr. T. F. Murray at the Navy Yard on Navy Day . cnce in industry and at the same time is carry- ing on his schooling in subjects such as English, science, history, drawing, and mathematics. Yes. the woodworking course is a good one for a fellow who has the aptitude and manual skill. In all three shops will be found boys from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. And it naturally follows that the upper class boys are working on the more difficult jobs. This acts as an incentive to the lower class boys to work for greater skill so that they may be given such jobs as making a Governor XVinthrop Desk, a Pie-crust table or a Phono-Record Cabinet. But thereis another course that Iid like to mention and that is the upholstery course. It is the only one of its kind that I know of. Here in this shop under Mr. Ernest Oetingeris expert guidance boys are trained in all branches of upholstering from the frame out. The various kinds of wood that are suitable for chairs, couches, or divans are studied. The various operations that go into the making of an up- holstered piece are learned. The pupils get to know materials and coverings, how to tell the good coverings from the shoddy, and how to evaluate the wearing qualities of materials. Naturally the boys learn how to measure, cut, match, and fit coverings after the hidden but essential work of tying springs and adjusting padding is done. Yes, a boy who takes the upholstery course has a good trade to follow. Ile is also a handy fellow around the house. I know one boy who did over his motheris parlor set. Ilels been a hero at home ever since. The boys must work carefully for they are frequently using coverings of value. In fact. as much as 81535.00 was spent this year for just one job consisting of a davenport and two chairs, which points out the necessity of careful cut- ting. The Cooperative course at Dorchester is a good one. I hope that more boys may come to realize as I have that what we can learn and do at school is like money in the bank. RED AND BLACK 57
