Under Mr. Donovyan’s tutelage the club has won many honors for Memorial. This year in the Hearst Contest, Memorial finished third, sixth, and tenth, out of 240 entrants. We are certain that in the future many more honors will come to Memorial because of our History Club.

Gls o } 1953 71 As it has been the tradition in past years Memorial has again retained the high standard of the glee club. Under the able leadership of Mr. Burke and his consulting executive committee, made up of the fol- lowing members: Steven Tamkin, Cyril Hubbard, Joseph Goldman, and William Sadof, the Glee Club has attained great popularity among the students. Although the meetings meet once a week, the Glee Club has managed to master a considerable number of popular and classical songs, while helping to perfect such soloists as Robert Ente, Cyril Hubbard, Jason Hubbard, and Harold Task. This is but part of the program planned by the pres. Robert Ente; vice pres. Harold Task; sec. trea. Steven Tamkin; and manager William Sadof to allow students, who are musically inclined, to partake in school activities.

Cilass of 1953 73 Roxbury Memorial High School was one of many high schools to participate in the student exchange day program. On Roxbury Memorial’s committee were Barry Sax, Gerald Faverman, Bruce New- man, Edmund Barry, Stanley Cohen, liaison; Arnold Sher, chairman, and Dr. Donovan, faculty adviser. The purpose of Student Exchange Day is to give high school students, a chance to learn about other schools and communities. On March 2 we visited Stoughton High School. A tour of their modern school was followed by visits to local industrial and historical spots, a dinner in our honor by the town officials, and attendance at the town meeting. Two weeks later we welcomed the Stough- ton committee and Mr. James Jones, their faculty sponsor. A tour of Memorial and Roxbury was followed by the Mayor’s luncheon, and visits to the City Council, the Mayor’s Office, and the Planning Board. Student Exchange Club Second Row: Mr. Donovan, Stanley Cohen, Barry Sex. Edmund Barry, First Row: Gerald Faverman, Arnold Sher, Bruce Newman.
