The Year 1963 will fondly be remembered as the year which: 11 was not a leap year Calthough it had 53 weeksb, 25 had more odd days than even days, and 3D could not be turned upside-down and be the same number Ctry it--it comes our something like Q96U. It also turned out into the world a mass of people in the guise of Seniors. Certainly other years have had their day Ca statement which only the advanced mind of a Senior would dare contemplateb like, for instance, 1961 Cwhich could be turned upside-downj was a pretty good year, but let's put our year to the test, let's send it up the flagpole and see if anybody can find it. Did 1961 have that great Senior assembly in which we were told of document- ed proof stating the superiority of our balcony for -well-all sorts of things? And I don't know, but it seems to me that the Senior Play came off Cor went ony very well Cfairly well, anywayj at least under the circumstances. And then, how many Senior Suppers have been sponsored by Salami Companies? And did the football team slosh through and drown Brookline, led by the indomitable de Bush Cwho, incidently, was the greatest athlete in Newton his- tory, although, unfortunately, never in three years eligible to play, he now lives up in the bushes by the stadium-hence cle Bush-and is rarely thought of except when his two dogs come down to bother the Phys. Ed. Classesj. And we all have personal memories, like playing hop-scotch in front of Build- ing I, or Blind Man's Bluff in the aquaducts be- tween I and III. And then there's always the Prom and Graduation-and the wonderful memories of the Class of 1963. CHARLES CChip9 SCAMMON A D V I S O R MISS MARY G. GIANFERANTE 14

FINANCE COMMISSION J. Berenson, S. Smith, C. Black, J. Shane, Chairmang S. Finsen, J. Theise. Man if by natnfe a political animal. Aristotle The Election Commission supervised all school and class-wide elections. This year the Commission initiated several changes in elec- tion procedures. To eliminate what had be- come a popularity contest, the Commission and the administration decided to discontinue sophomore class-wide elections. Instead, the Sophomore Class Committee took over the election of its officers. The Election Commis- sion also made several changes in Spring Elec- tion procedure. Student voting was put on an optional basis to encourage more thoughtful balloting, and hopefully, the election of the most competent candidates. When will tbe jztft nzan be specially axefzzl in handling oar n20ney.9,' Plato The Finance Commission oversees all Coun- cil projects which involve the spending or the raising of funds. It is responsible for the Councils participation in the Foster Parents Plan: this year Newton High helped support two foster children. To raise the necessary funds Cthirty dollars is sent to each child per monthj, the Finance Commission again spon- sored a Bermuda Day when students and faculty who had bought 2541 tickets could wear ber- muda shorts to school. The Commission also sold Newton High bookcovers throughout the year and handled publicity for the Council. ELECTIONS COMMISSION P. Kay, I'. Sltlel, f,ln1frmin1,' li. lwmx.
