C hari t Drive Committee The Milton Academy Charity Drive once again this year conducted and completed successfully its annual cam- paign. The purpose of this drive was to give some of our money to charities which the student body felt were not only worthy but were in real need. The student body of the upper three classes in Wigg Hall chose the charities which were eventually given money. There were this year, as in past years, three non-electives - or charities to which we give every year: the United Fund, the Milton Hospital, and the Milton Academy Christmas Fund. There were in addition five elective charities: Cancer, Care, the Heart Fund, Radio-Free Europe, and the Perkins Institute for the Blind. Each boy in Warren Hall gave three dollars and a half, and each student in Wigg donated seven. Thus the total sum, roughly 351500, enabled us to sendfchecks of 35125 to each of the elective charities, and to divide the remaining sum among the non-electives. Speeches were given in Wigg Hall by members of the First Class con- cerning the various charities and these were helpful in determining the choice. Charlie Pierce and Steve Bingham organized the collectors in each class: Laurie Coburn and Ken Bolton in the Second Class, Dudley Ladd and Charlie Deknatel in the Third Class, Bill Beyer, Charlie Stillman and john Russell in the Fourth Class, Peter Walcott, Jim Pappas and Henry Foley in the Fifth Class, Ben Taylor and Fred Sykes in the Sixth Class. The results of this drive were obvious by the very grateful letters which have been received.

Blazer Committee The Blazer Committee, a villainous group encompassing a fine cross-section of the more piratical elements of the class, was elected in the fall of '58 by a somewhat orderly meeting of its classmates who had an eye on the then distant mirage of the senior class and graduation. Led on bybchief bandit Bolton C., they sent out scouting parties to locate likely victims. Eventually Wetlge and his gray- ing adviser, Wfally QT? Swett, spied a company foolish enough to offer high quality for a relatively low price, and ordered an attack. Chico Freeman and Tom Holcombe, determined to get the most for their money, drew up a design for a large and opu- lent shield - and the dastardly deed was done. After the great flood of boltongrams had subsided, the survivors found that they had got their blazers, and beaming with satisfaction went out to show them off.
