The Choir Scores a Hit on T.V. November 28, 1952 Lloyd M. Creighton, Principal Pembroke High School Pembroke, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Creighton: I will be looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to having your students on my program on the nineteenth of December. I am certain that their contribution will be well appreciated by the many thousands who visit with us each Fri- day evening at 6 p. m. S'incerely yours, JOHN C. MACFARLANE Animal Fair WBZ-TV We were also looking forward to our December performance and so were our many friends and relatives. After much revising of program and rehears- ing-at last-We were sitting on the Boston-bound bus. Upon arrival at the Westinghouse studio, time permitted us to tour the studio and one of the thrills that afternoon was meeting Norm Pres- cott, the disc jockey, to Whom so many THE VERSE CHOIR Bos'roN BOUND of us often listen. He was very friendly and measured up to our expectations. Any T.V. program must be studio- rehearsed-ours was no exception. As part of it all, cameras were swung this Way and that, the mikes yanked here and there, last-minute position changes became necessary-then-set-all eyes on the elock's second hand going round and round-six o'clock!-and there we were-ON T.V..' Our selections: Psalm Eight. The Quest Eternal by Margaret Widdemer, To a Young Wretch by Robert Frost, the Christmas Carol, Adeste Fidelis g and the Anonymous Around the Man- ger were illustrated on the screen by the studio technicians. To complete the happy day, we dined at Dinty Moore's. It was thrilling to participate in this most exciting experi- ence. CYNTHIA PHILLIPS, '54 January 30, 1953 Mrs. Carl Etelman Pembroke High School Pembroke, Massachusetts Dear Mrs. Etelman: . . . It was a real pleasure and treat for me to be privileged to have the Pem- broke students, under your leadership, on our Christmas program. May the future bring you much hap- piness and success.

The Educational Future: The Regional School The voters in Halifax, Kingston, Pem- broke, and Plyfnpton have voted to ap- prove a regional senior and junior high school, which will be erected near Sil- ver Lake where the boundaries of the four towns meet. --The Massachusetts Teacher February, 1953 DEBBY INTERVIEWS PRINCIPAL CREIGHTON I am here, Mr. Creighton, to ask you some questions about the Regional School, since our class probably is to be the fIrst graduating class. Well, I'm glad that you came in, Debby, and if there is anything that I am able to tell you, I will be most pleased to do so. One of the most important is about our senior class relations. Will we have trouble when we get together with all of the other classes? I really don't think so, Debby, for this reason. Mr. Moran, who is the principal of Kingston High School, the student council adviser at Kingston High, Mr. Hand, Mr. Bakon, and myself are working on this problem, and I rather suspect that next year the stu- dent councils of Kingston and Pembroke will get together a few times during the year to discuss some common problems and try and reach some answers. If it is at all possible and we can arrange it, we will also have students from Hali- fax and Plympton meet with you people at these meetings. In this way, we will get all view-points from all of the towns concerned, and we should be able to solve a number of the minor problems. Some of the minor problems would be the class colors, school ring, and things of that sort. About how large will this school be? According to the brochure that we published last year, on opening day there will be S00 students, 100 of whom will be the senior class, based on the school enrollment in 1952. About how many pupils will the school hold?l' We are planning the building such that it will hold at maximum capacity 1200 students. It will hold 1000 stu- dents easily. What courses of study or curricular is there going to be ? MR. MORAN, MR. RAY AND MR. CREIGIITON WORKING ON PLANS
