These boys have many tasks. They assist the secretaries in preparing the daily attendance bulletin. They deliver messages from the ofliee to all parts of the school, and through their efh- cient operation of the switchboard, much valuable time is saved in the paging of boys to the office. These boys are also called on to do numerous other tasks, such as ringing the bells, and delivering the daily mail. The boys of the office staff must be polite and neatly dressed at all times. Many important people visit the school office daily. These people notice the office staff boys, and when they see how courteous and well dressed they are, a good impression of the school is given.

Stanley Elf- baum served as chairman on the Art Staff. 141: 5:45 The staff held meetings on the average twice every week in Room 216. Under the very able supervision of Mr. Pearl art problems concerning the school newspaper, the Year Book, the Senior Prom, the Scholarship Tal- ent Show, and Class Day were straightened out and various proiects were assigned to the members of the Art Staff. Signs were made for all the football, hockey, track, basketball, and baseball games with the help of several members of the Art Staff. Everyone will always remember the fas- tidious and comical posters drawn by Gerald Pessin and Richard Goddard to advertise the senior class election and the Senior Prom. Yearbook cartoons drawn by the Art Staff will always be enjoyed for a long time to come. In his junior year, Stanley Flfbaum won the class of 1956 Shield Design Contest, and which is now being used.

1 The school orchestra, although not quite so large as expected, completed a year of experi- ence and pleasure under the able direction of Mr. Rowland Young. Consisting of two saxophones, two clarinets, four trumpets, a 0 trombone, piano and drum, the orchestra made great progress. lt seems that too many people have the wrong idea of a school orchestra. Many consider it as a unit that plays boring symphony music. This, l am happy to say, is a wrong concep- tion. The boys were limited to two performances that included Class Day, and the day of all days, graduation. The orchestra deeply im- pressed the parents, faculty, and the juniors and seniors present. As l stated before despite the lack of performances the boys received a great deal of experience by rehearsing every Monday morning throughout the entire year. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Young for his instruction and for the fine manner in which he brought us along in the field of music. Next year the orchestra hopes to enlarge. 5 i 2 3 if 4 Nu 'X
