A system of monitors, set up by the 1949-50 Council, has been carried out, but with great improvements. Above all, the Student Council, has stressed co-operation with school authorities and has willingly assisted in every way possible. A committee, withj ustine West as chairman, is working hard to complete a handbook for publication before the completion of the school year. The purpose of this handbook is to familiarize new students with the school, its rules, organizations, and activities. ROBERT WINCHESTER, '51 -l 30 l

The Verse Speaking Choir Thanks to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Etelman, the Verse Speaking Choir is rapidly increasing in both membership and distinctiorji. Sixteen juniors have joined the choir and they show great promise. Lastjune, the choir took part in th graduation exercises where its work was greatly enjoyed. Our first performance this year was i December at the testimonial for Mr.john Gifford, and thanks to our able director, everything ca e off smoothly. Soon after, we appeared on the Christmas program and again we were well re eived. In January we performed before t e Historical Society. On this occasion we were attired for the first time in our new maroon robes. We are proud of them and know that they add much to out appearance. Reverend Lawrencdjaffa in his pastoral letter, the Parishoner of .january 23rd, commented thusly on our perfo mance: Last night at the PEMBRO E Historical Society I enjoyed one of those experiences which seem to transport an ind vidual out of the confines of particularism and doubt into the realm of the universal and th certain. I heard the High School Verse Speak- ing Choir. Their program . . . but especiall moving were the opening selection which gave Thanks for the Good in the Universe and theclosing one of Markhanfs 'He drew a circle and shut me out, Infidel, heretic, thing to Hour. l But Love and I had the wit to win, We drew a circle that took him in.' It is hard to descri e the impression made by these young people giving their talent to the interpretation of ld words, but it helped me to understand why the R.A.F. insisted on its officers going to Universities and learning such things as poetry even during the battle of Britain. i On March 27th in conjunction with the Library Club we sponsored the Scinti1lating Salmagundif' the proceeds of which went tovsjard the expense of our new robes. Pleasure is a mild word to apply to the wonderful evening epjoyed by both the audience and the participants! We wish to share the many conipliments we receive with our zealous director, Mrs. Etelman. p ERNEST WASHBURN, '52
