Malden High School - Maldonian Yearbook (Malden, MA)

Founded 101 yea rs ago as a literary and debating society, LlT's main objective this year was to restore its former size and importance in Malden High. The year began with a school-wide campaign for new members. On Halloween night, LIT heard tales of the real Dracula at Northeastern University. LIT faced COG for the traditional Thanksgiving football game at Pine Banks, and won, 24-O. Service projects such as a Thanksgiving basket for the underprivileged and ballot- counting for Junior and Senior class elections were important elements in LlT's revival. LIT hoped to use the local college community and the cultural activities in and around Boston for lectures, play, movies, and musical performances. Dr. Elliot Carlson, adviser, and Rick Mahoney, president, hoped that by expanding the club's membership and diversifying the activities to appeal to most mem- bers, LIT could be rebuilt to its former status as a powerful service organization in Malden High.

A few weeks after the school year had begun, when the fall weather still resem- bled that of summer, Usona called its first meeting. The girls related the adven- tures of their vacations, modeled their new outfits, and planned the events the club would sponsor with the help of lVls. Barbara Clifford, the club advisor, and Shelley Charney, president. The Teacher's International Tea was first on the adgenda. Usona prepared var- ious dishes including an Italian, European, American, and Jewish table. Tea and coffee was served along with the famous Usona punch. In late January, new members were asked to join. For the initiation they each wrote a composition on anything that interested them, and presented the essays to their parents one night in the music room. Afterward refreshments were served in the teacher's lounge. Later, the girls planned to attend a play in Boston 84 in the spring, Usona antici- pated exciting bike hikes, cookouts, and canoe trips. fd, Bottom Row: Nancy Spector, Janet kriteman, Rhonda Sazin, Vice Pres., Shelley Charney, President, 2nd Row: Karen Brown, Denise Comeau, Au- drey Levin, Sandy Appel, Andrea Levin, Top Row: Maureen Ciampa, Rene Levine, Donna Dunphy, Treasurer, Judy Mack, Margaret Woo.
