Grown up at last! Those first, faltering steps into high school life were climaxed with our initiation on October 23. The sophomores could have taken over Cape Canaveral that evening after successfully launching two freshman sputniks. Maryann Morgan and Danny Symonds stayed in orbit for about ten minutes, beeping constantly. Is there a beep trans- lator in the school who can decode their message for us?

SOPHOMORE CLASS “Oh, my aching head!” 4 Everyone contributed ideas toward the success of =) this year’s Freshman Initiation. Our own poet lau- reate takes credit for: Hail, mighty Sophomore, Ruler of the school: |! am but a freshman, Lower than a fool. During our week of glory, the hallowed walls fairly shook with this gem. Next year we suggest there be a guard rail around the stage and we suspect the movement will be headed by Ray Cartier.

STUDENT COUNCIL Ring Committee in Action. What company? What design? What shape? No detention here! After election of officers in October we delved into the tremendous task of forming a lasting organizaticn. Several members at- tended a workshop for Student Councils at Holliston High and received some useful ideas. Our only money-making activity was a Christmas dance. The new year brought sev- eral improvements—one-way stair traffic, a seating arrangement for assemblies, four consecutive lunch bells, a long-awaited con- stitution, and our major accomplishment, the selection of a standard school ring.
