BARBARA JONE S, '51 Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications It's two thirty on Wednesday, October 18, 1950, and the boys and girls in the High School are boarding the buses which will take them home. But how could this be? Classes don't finish until three o'clock. Something mighty big and exciting must be happening at Pembroke High School today, and believe me it is! Our school is host to the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications. There are to be about 15 schools of all sizes coming to little Pembroke, and if that isn't reason enough for excitement then I don't know what is. That was the scene on October 18. Now it is many months later and I recall all the preparation leading up to that day: invitations were sent out, posters were made bearing the name of the visiting schools and their publications, a general display of yearbooks was attractively arranged, and books to advertise our forthcoming Book Fair were exhibited in the auditorium. As I look back on that memorable day I recall particular highlights of the meeting. I can still hear the Piano Selection by Wendell Gassett, the Verse Speaking Choir's presentation of the Psalm of David, the stirring voices of the entire body of delegates singing America, accompanied by Allan Isham. Mr. Chester Ray, our Superintendent of Schools, made everyone right at home with his Address of Welcome. A little later in the day we went to supper in the cafeteria, which was beautifully decorated in the Spirit of Halloween by the Home Economics Class directed by Mrs. Genevieve Pratt. Mr.john Gifford gave a short talk entitled A Few Words. He was followed by Dorothy Harding Fuller CDorothy Dale of W.B.E.T.j whose Words, Words, Words proved both enter- taining and enlightening. Perhaps the biggest event of the meeting was the Round Table Dis- cussion at which Mr. Robert Prendergast presided. jack Watson represented the Mattaheerett in the discussion Are Your Finances Your Problem? in which representatives from six schools participated. Weymouth High School provided the entertainment which ended a splendid evening. But of all the pleasant memories of that day the one I shall never forget is the feeling that our meeting was such an overwhelming success. We thank you for that, Mrs. Etelman. WILLIAM KEY, '52 l20l

Yvonne Griffiths Trearurer ..... Virginia Trotta The Class of '52 for the second straight year is lodged in Room 10 under the guidance of Miss Brooks. A look at the class roll shows us that we have acquired three new members: Donald MacCormack, james Knox, and Carol Early. Lost was Philip Brooks who is now en- rolled at Moses Brown, in Providence, R. I. Ourj unior Prom was very successful. The unusual decorations of enlarged Christmas Cards combined with sweet flowing music of Flo's Kelley's Orchestra gave us a Prom that will long be remembered by all. Our class, under the direction of Mrs. E. , was in charge of the Christmas Party. The program included selections by the Verse Speaking Choir, songs by the French and Latin classes, and the Senior Boysf?j. Soloists Marjorie Styron, Elizabeth Willoughby, Carol Early, and Malcolm Willoughby added their voices to the event. New talent was discovered when Clayton Merrick and Carol Early gave their rendition of Winter Wonderland. They again scored a hit with their performance at the Salmagundi. We are all proud of William Key, Allan Isham, and Nancy Romine who were chosen to membership in the National Honor Societyg and of Leonard Willett, who is next year's Basket- ball Captain. We have enjoyed a fine year, successful as well as eventful. We cannot ask for more. -BARRY ELDRIDGE, '52 fERNEST WASHBURN, '52 fI22lt
