L JUNIOR PROM - 1960 As in past years, our class gave .1 junior Prom in honor of the seniors. The title, La Vie En Rose, was meant to convey the thought of life seen through rose--colored glasses. The buffet supper, which was served before the dancing, was quite delicious. Without the willing help of the mothers, the meal never could have been .is .ittractive or .is enjoyable as it was. The gym, .it least seen through our eyes, looked beautiful. Our rose tree, Eiffel Tower, Arch of Tri- umph and stage displayed the happy hours of work that we had devoted to presenting this dance. We used cooperation as our guide, and this is exactly what we received. Our class, with the many helpful teachers and mothers, joined together to make our Prom a success. Some claim that, as they left the dance, they had donned those rose-colored specs ! We hope that .1 good time was had by all. e R11 bgtiifmsv . I .f:Q-s X f 'fj 7 T L Q 5 pf g X! TT x is X J. 'E 1960 AURIGAN FAIR The Aurigan Fair of 1960 was a success. The weather was, fortunately for everyone, very pleasant. We were very happy when our class, then juniors, won the inter-class volleyball match. The wide variety of exhi- bits was most interesting. The concessions were varied and provided much fun. Mr. Chamberland's talent show was a hit. Both spectators and participants seemed to enjoy this type of entertainment. We feel that the student Council deserves a great deal of thanks for giving us this popular and worthwhile event. Because of the great variety of shows, exhibits and games, the fair can be enjoyed by all. i 5 av I' ,ia , .P ji If I I!-1,4 P 4 Q 1 -- ,-I' A. tx-,T ' f- ,fm !x A .rf i' -vw -4.- W be has

OUR TOWN In the first act the author genially outlines the history of the town. which is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, and something of the character of its citizens. Then he carries you into the houses of the Gibbs and Webb families, substantial homes containing substantial folks. You arrive at breakfast time and are carried through one entire day in the lives of these good people. The second act concerns the love affair between young George Gibbs and little Emily Webb, and thus culminates in a moving wed- ding scene, which contains all those elements of poignant sorrow and abundant happiness that make for solemnity and impressiveness. In the third act we are led to the cemetery on the hill, where many of the townspeople we have come to know so well are patiently and smilingly awaiting-not 'judgment' but greater understanding. Into their midst is led the bride, a little timid at first, a little wishful to go back to life, to live again with her memories. But she is shown how futile it is to return. The past cannot be re-lived. Living people, humans, occupied with their petty occupations and small thoughts, know little of true joy or happiness. Truth is to be found only in the future. 28 5

STUDENT REPRESENTATION IN STATE GOVERNMENT Since the Governor of the Commonwealth of Mas- sachusetts had designated April 7, 1961, as Student Government Day and the Commissioner of Education had named Friday, December 2, 1960, as Election Day, Mount Everett participated by holding an elec- tion to choose our representative. Late in the after- noon of December 2, all students were excused from classes in order to be present at a special Student Government Assembly. The four candidates - Marilyn Gaylord, Robert Macy, Francis Ryan and Richard Sturtevant - pre- sented their campaign speeches, supporters of each candidate demonstrated vigorously, Then, after a brief note on procedures, students returned to their home rooms to vote. The freshman class, under the direction of Mr. Sullivan, was in charge of supervis- ing voting, counting votes and presenting the results. Marilyn Gaylord was chosen to go to Boston, where the elected representatives of Massachusetts schools assembled to conduct proceedings in the same man- ner as the General Court. Assignments gave each rep- resentative a direct personal role in the government. In advance of the oflicial Student Government Day, visiting days' at the State House had given small groups of student delegates an intimate view of state government in action. After returning from Boston, Marilyn gave a de- tailed account of her trip so that all students at Mount Everett might have a better understanding of our state government. ' 1 I .of .33 5 75? llj,
