- v --nl'- W' GEQKEEIII T? .....-1... fu-.-n. w-s-b.,.- It was with pleasure and anticipation that james Diamond and Stanley Finer entered the meeting room of the Junior Red Cross Council of high school students in Boston. During our Christmas vacation many needy families and orphaned children were helped through our efliorts. All of this was done in cooperation with the Senior Red Cross, of which we are a part. Again this year we held our annual member- ship drive, which was very successful. The purpose of the drive was not only to gather members but also to collect money to aid in the activities of the Senior Red Cross, on whose shoulders the real burden of the or- ganization rests. We acknowledge with appreciation the ad- vice and assistance of our teacher sponsor, Mr. Peter F. Kean, without Whose aid many of our eH:orts would not have been success- ful. We sincerely hope that next year's representatives will ind as much enjoyment in participating in this organization as we did during the past year. amine fed gmac: James Diamond, Mr. Kean, Stanley Finer 'AQ 'C .K , vr -f 1 I

Arlan Aronson, Allan Silverman, Harris Herman, Robert Myers fy 0 i il Q if ' A Q if 'H 4 L1 Www fum 7 'ww Under the able assistance of Mr. Donoghue the school year of 1956 was a great financial success. The very capable and persistent home room treasurers collected voluntary contributions for class dues, activities fees, Year Book and charitable organizations. As all of the treasurers know., collecting money for almost anything on any given day was a very exasperating task. Some of the replies that they got were, All I have is carfaref' or Do you have chinge of a ten? After a lot of begging .md pleading they finally got their contribution. XVhen it was time to collect for the Year Book the trensurers were going .iround to each senior with .1 notebook .md pencil expecting to see the flash of money in their faces. However, all they received was an occasional dollar. Things changed soon, however, when Nlr. l..'lI1Lll'lg.l!1 stimulated the seniors of the class of 1956 into paying for their yearbooks. Congratulations are due from the entire school to this line and courageous group of boys known as the Home Room Treasurers.
