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.

BEALS HOUSE BQ. Mrs. Walsh Beal! House Aide Mrs. Aronson Beal: H owe Secretary Beals House students are full of spirit and enthusiasm, and the Beals House faculty is excellent. ' These are the words of Mr. Adams, who might be a bit biased as Beals' colorful Housemaster. The Beals House Council this year planned a teacher-student day with a sig- nificant theme. The Civics Committee has for two years organized clubs and ar- ranged for tutoring in a settlement house. Although the coke machine, piano, and television helped, it is the Commons Room Committee that has make the Beals House commons room the most liked in the school for club meetings. Stu- dents and teachers from the entire school went to the Christmas party planned by the Activities Committee. The Traffic Squad maintains eternal vigilance to prevent collisions on the third floor stairs of venerable Building One. The spirit of Beals House can be seen in the intramural teams, which have yet to forfeit a game, and which generally have captured first or second. place. From its lofty tower Beals looks down at the spectacle of Newton High and feels justly proud of the part it plays. HOUSE COUNCIL 'aw Mr. Richard M. Adams H owemaster L' -. ...ML I 'K FIRST ROW: L.
