GOOD GOVERNME T PROGRA James, Shirley, Robert, Richard, Daniel, joyce, Frank, and Donna, with Mary seated. Student Government Day, established by a procla- mation of the governor of Massachusetts, was held in Boston the second Friday of March. Each second- ary school in the Commonwealth held an election to choose a representative for this occasion. The pur- pose of this state-wide movement is to promote good citizenship and increase students' knowledge of the function and operation of our government. On Thursday, December 10, nine members of the Easthampton High School student body presented their views on important questions of the day at a rally held in the school auditorium. The subjects they discussed were among the many questions to be brought before the Legislative body in Boston on March 12. With Patricia Sniado, chairman of the general committee, presiding, the candidates presented the following topics: Why Taxes Should Be Lowered in Massachusettsn. -Robet Craig Why Bingo Should Not Be Legalized in Massachusetts . -Donna Mitchell Raising the Licensing Age from 16 to 18 . - Frank Skrzyniarz CS Educational Television . -Richard Beebe Youth Training in Firearms . -James Trudeau CC Compulsory School Age Should Not Be Raised to 18 . -Mary Weidhaas S4 Compulsory School Age Should Be Raised to 18 . -Joyce Ingenito Lowering the Voting Age from 21 to 18 . - Shirley Lehr :L Raising the Licensing Age from 16 to 18 , - Daniel Morrison After the rally the students returned to their home rooms and voted for their representative. As a re- sult, Mary Weidhaas was chosen as delegate, and Joyce Ingenito and Robert Craig were elected alter- nates. The tireless efforts of Miss Lou Lyman, the advisor, helped to make this program a success.

The members also provided music for the special Christ- mas assembly, the Christmas programs of the East- hampton public schools, and the Senior Play. Fol- lowing these appearances, they participated in the Spring Concert. One of the highlights of the year was the Western Massachusetts Music Festival held in Pittsfield in May. The band marched in the Memorial Day Parade, and in June they presented the annual Lawn Concert, which was enjoyed by many townspeople. The year's final performances were on Class Night and at the junior and Senior High Graduations. On Class Night, when the em- phasis was on the graduating class, the band played an overture, Fantasia , written and arranged by one of its senior members, Alfred Girard. The addition of an alto and a bass clarinet would complete the woodwind section, in so far as many new instruments have been recently added. In Sep- tember a baritone saxophone will be included. With very few members graduating and new ones expected from the junior group, the band is looking forward to another successful year, made possible by the co- operation of band members and the fine leadership of the director, Mr. Howard C. Barre.
