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.

Aesop Palmer House, under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Gradone Cto whom this yearbook is dedicatedy, is well-known as the owner of the worst coke machine in the school and as the biggest spender of any house. It also claims to be the most active house. The council, under the JACK CJ.A.C. Kozlowskij administra- tion, has had two projects for underclassmen: a sophomore reception, and later in the year, a series of discussions in which the seniors related their college ap- plications experiences to sophomores and juniors. Through cake and book cover sales plus the sale of the inimitable Palmer Prodigy pins the council gave gifts to needy families, to AFS, and to the Alcohol Education Foundation. In addition, the students held a sleigh ride, redecorated the Commons Room, put up a sugges- tion box, and held an essay contest. HOUSE COUNCIL t 4 FIRST ROW: J. Rhode, C. Ellis, P.
