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.

History Club The History Club meets weekly after school in 334, under the able direction of Mr. Donovan, to prepare the members for the college-board entrance examinations and the various competitive examinations such as the Hearst, United Nations, and the Massachusetts Labor Contest. 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.

Junior Red Cross When two such devoted students as Bruce Newman and Samuel Pearl combine their creative talents to further the cause of such an inspiring organization as the Junior Red Cross, beneficial results to all concerned are assured. Although the program for this year is not as diversified as was that of the previ- ous years, our group did succeed in accom- plishing many things to wh'ch we can point with pride. The chief goal of our organization was the expansion of the Junior Red Cross spir- it and activities. In closing, we wish an equally good year to Edward Schuman and Allen Sneider, who will be the representatives in the suc- ceeding school year. We also wish to thank Mr. Peter F. Kean, our teacher sponsor, without whose able supervision many things we accomplished would have been impossible.
