Headed by George Earley, Chairmang John McCluskey, Vice-chairman, Richard Giordano, Treasurer, and Joe Zimmerman, Secretary, the Board has been helpful by assisting at Ivy Day and at two Newtonville Women's Club fund-raising functions and by setting up the MIT State Science Fair.

The Garden Citians overpowered each opponent with a skillful offense and a stubborn defense. Throughout the season, the team displayed and demonstrated judgement, character, and leadership. It is no wonder that after an early loss to our title contender, Burdett, the team surged upward winning nine consecutive games. Spurred on by the NJC cheering section, Newton Junior College faced Burdett in the Greater Boston Small College Conference and emerged victorious by a score of 55 to 50. Thus, for the second time in five years the league title was ours. The trophy is not only significant of a fine team, but also purports spirit, perseverance, capability, and Newton Junior College. '
