gli? QI'ClfLgQ CHIC! BAL? The Orange and Blue progressed this year, under increased efficiency to new and higher goals. Under Editor Bob Batchelder, ten five-column news issues were pub- lished, the Literary Board continued to put out its three issues, and the Review Issue speaks for itself. The Newspaper received a First Place rating in the Columbia Inter- scholastic Press Association contest. With the five-column paper to contend with, we found that a larger staff was more satisfactory than the previous small board, and consequently, the O 81 B is now the second largest organization in school. A nucleus of men, however, had the jobs of writing headlines and reading proofs, among them Harry Fitzgibbons, Bill Boy- den, Jerry Fiske and Blackie Chapman. The Lit Board coasted to a certain ex- tent each term until the time arrived for a new issue. Then everything became fran- tic, with Managing Editor Bob Twombly bearing most of the burden. Thanks in large part to the Faculty, contributions did manage to come in, and three somewhat morbid issues resulted from bull sessions in Batch's room and Mr. Abellis house. This was a year of high points business- wise. Fritz Schwarz and Ben Williams handled a 584000.00 budget, and a new high in circulation. Mike Robertson and' Harry Eldridge sold enough ads, so that, coupled with the increased circulation, we were able to lower prices on all subscriptions from the previous year.

Student Gouncz' STUDENT COUNCIL Davis, Perry, Batchclder, Ticknor Boydcn, Olson, Schwarz, F., Marlow, ll., Enicrx North, Schwarz, M., Perkins, XVyldc- I This year, the Student Council, because of the co-operation it received from the rest of the school, did not have to spend a great deal of its time on disciplinary mat- ters. However, the Creenslip Committee functioned as usual, with rotating members of the First Class Student Council and the four Second Class Student Conncilmen serving as secretaries. For major disciplin- ary matters, the Wigg Hall Committee was set up this year. This committee was dc- signed to recommend action to Mr. Perry and to keep a complete picture of each boyis record. With Mr. Davis as chairman, the Committee consisted of the House- masters, Advisors for the top three Day School Classes, and the Head Monitor, Fritz Schwarz. The first major change instituted by this year's Council concerned the rules for the Library. A Student Councilman was to be in charge each period and talking was to be allowed only with his permission. A second innovation concerned the dis- posal of used text books at the end of the year. In the past, there have been many books thrown away, since no place was provided to keep them over the summer. The Council agreed to provide a room in XVigg basement and store the books over this period, so that boys could select them for their courses in the fall. Finally, a typing course was suggested at least for First Classmen, something for which real need has been felt. The Council this year has been willing to spend much time and energy, and has shown an active interest in the school's wel- fare.

The program began with live traditional carols sung by the joint Glee Clubs and the Iunior Glee Club. Next, the Choir and Madrigal Club performed Arise, Ye Servants of the Lord, by Tye. The central point was the performance of three choruses from 40 Mozartis Requiem. The concert was com- pleted by several more carols and a number by the Orchestra. The complete Requiem, by Mozart, was featured at the annual Festival Chorus in Symphony Hall on March 1. The Milton delegation of 35 voices was one of eight participating groups.
