Activities Today at M.H.S. in preparation for fu¬ ture roles as adults, we are given many op¬ portunities to display our leadership ability in any of several fields. In clubs we try our hand at running an organization , and parti¬ cipate for our group in interclub activities. Through sports we develop keenness, quick judgment, and alertness — all necessary characteristics of a leader. By taking key roles in class activities we show that when given the opportunity and proper guid¬ ance, we can effectively assume any and all leadership responsibilities. POSITIONS ON SPORT TEAMS cannot be disre- ability to act quickly and decisively, are prerequisites qarded when discussing the experiences which in- not only for leadership in the field of sports but also fluence our ability as leaders.

TODAY, as future leac ers . . . We Assume Key Roles in Class and Extra-curricular ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITIES, such as the Interclub Bowl, provide people. The manner in which we fulfill our club duties is a good indication opportunities to test our ability to handle situations and get along with of the way in which we will fulfill our adult responsibilities. PUBLIC SPEAKING, not only in contests but also at assemblies, helps us develop the poise and self-expression we will need as future leaders. KEY ROLES, such as the chairmanship of a class activity or a lead in the Senior Play, place a heavy responsibility upon the student. However, the careful guidance of interested teachers enables us to meet our tasks, and accomplish them with the best possible results. 12

TODAY—As ServantSNof Our Community and Our School . . . We Respond to the Needs of the People around BY ENTERTAINING OTHERS through organizations such as area, as well as for the students in the high school, we bring Choral Arts, which performs for church and civic groups in this enjoyment and beauty into the lives of the people around us. Learning to be of service to the com¬ munity, the school, and each other is the fourth area in which we must grow. The students of Malden High School tradi¬ tionally stand ready to help anyone when¬ ever called upon to do so. The service may be one of several, Christmas carols by Choral Art in Malden Square, a charity basketball game in which faculty and students participate, or simply the weekly fall parades by the band which brighten everyone’s day. In any case, the students of Malden High try to fill the needs of the people around us. BY RAISING MONEY for worthy charities through the collection of money and used clothing, and a charity basketball game presented for the benefit of the March of Dimes, we join in the fight against poverty and disease. 14
