The Assembly Committee under the able dir- eetion of Mr. Philip A. Bortniclx is probably one of the most envied groups of the entire school, for they were present at every assem- bly. They have given our Assemblies, and other activities such as the Talent Show, lflag Dedication Ceremony, Class Day, Iforums, etc. a professional touch by their fine work- manship. The following members were the most .letive perticipants this season: Chairman,Theodore Snyderg Vice Chairman, Jerrold Pessin: Au- dioman, George Rhotstein: and Stanley Co- hen, projectionist. Other members who helped make the Assem- bly Committee's work easier were: joel Slarve, Sumner Rodney, Dan Orfant, Robert Grunin and Louis Delaflor. The squealing sounds eminating from the amplifiers and the sound of that well worn record being tested for more scratches during and after school was an indication that anoth- er assembly was to be held. May the unblcmishcd record of our Assemblw Committee follow with more outstanding members.

P . This year the Prom Committee organized in early October to help. give Memorial the best Senior Prom possible. They succeeded to the fullest. The Prom Committee, under Mike Spitz, our able chairman, organized one of the finest proms ever seen at our school. The Dorothy Quincy Suite was the site, and the music was supplied by Freddie Guerra and his band, who were accompanied by a girl vocalist. Earlier, before the Prom, the true spirit of the Senior Class was shown by the co-opera- tion they gave the committee. The quota of tickets was reached and surpassed in .1 short time, and the committee set to work to hnd the right band, hall, and date, which we did just about in the space of one meeting. Most of the work involved was in decorating and preparing refreshments. May we, the members of the committee. take this opportunity to thank Mr. Bothelo. our adviser for the help he gave to us, and for the troubles he led us through. W'ithout his complete co-operation this lane affair could not have been possible.

Rowland Young, is a credit to Roxbury Memorial High School. It has been a year of rebuilding in which the sophomores came through in great fashion because of the patience and individual in- struction of our fine director. The musical unit expressed its talents at school assemblies. in the street parade, and at numerous other activities. 'lihe band always did a remarkable job. About a week before Clhristmas we had the pleasure of playing Christmas Carols in front of the Boston Post newspaper building. .Xt the end of the performance. a gentleman who is associated with the music department said to us,f - Boys, l'll have plenty to tell Dr. Crudden about this fine group. ln behalf of the band of of '56 we should like to take this opportunity to thank our in- gazed structor, Mr. Young, for his many hours of painstaking work and excellent teaching. In Closing, we wish the band of R.M.H.S. all thc Success in the world during next year and the many years to follow.
