BACON HCUSE ,sd Miss Burke Mrs. Geiger Bacon Home Secretary Bacon Home Aide All is flax, nothing if stationary. Heracleitus Bacon House, located in the administration building, land of the auditorium and home of the cafeteria and, all-important, the omnipotent IBM machine, stands a leader among leaders. Under the able guidance of Mr. Swan, this House institut- ed the much admired and much imitated student goverr1ment day. Bacon House Mr. Carl L Swan sponsored a needy family at Christmas time and contributed substantially to the Hgmemayzer fund for WGBH. Bacon is proud intellectually and athletically: proud of having the largest number of honor roll students, and proud of winning the interhouse football trophy. Always with an eye to the lighter side, Bacon planned a talent show in conjunction with student government day. Yet this house maintained its dignity at all times. While staunchly resisting a soft drink machine, it planned a rotating art exhibit for the commons room. Independence of thought is the keynote at Bacon House.

Easson Hoiiremizftef HOUSE COUNCIL ADAMS HOUSE .fl A a Mrs. Chartier Mrs. Russo Adamr Home Secretary Adams Home Aide A lover of wimlom, then, cmd high-rpiritecl in temper, imcl quick and strong, will be it goocl and trite gitimliizn of the city. Plato Adams House guards the base of Newton High's towering Acropolis-guards it so well that nobody remembers what's being kept out. At any rate, spirited Adams House is ready for all comers. Adams House showed its spirit this year in its vigorous House Council. Hard- working committees set up by the Council carried the house activities forward rapidly. The House Assembly Dates Committee planned four assemblies, includ- ing an address by Mr. Foster, last year's housemaster, and a one act play. The Con- stitutional Revision Committee carried on with the eternal task of improving the house constitution. Fund-raising ideas from the Project Committee provided financial support for the many activities. A major accomplishment of the Adams House guardians this year was the prideful redecoration of the Commons Room. Working from the ground up, under the guidance of dynamic Mr. Easson, Adams' new housemaster, they put new rugs on the floor, then turned to the walls. Giving up precious hours of Christmas vacation time, the Paint Committee put a pleasing, protective new coat of paint around the room.
