Hirschorn Eon: Society The National Honor Society is the one organ- ization recognized throughout the country as comprising the intellectually elite students in secondary school. More than this, to gain admission into this highly selective society, students must necessarily have demonstrated a catholicity of accomplishment in the field of extra-curricular activity, and a breadth of interest and sympathy in the concerns of their fellow-students and their community. Roxbury Memorial for Boys has always been proud of its young men in the National Honor Society. Their subsequent achievements in the wider area of college and professional or business life, have never belied the promise their high school records held forth. The number of students who have attained this greatest of academic honors is necessarily small, since membership is won only after demanding tests have been surmounted. iia Se ee ee Memorial is justly proud o f these outstanding young men. Like their predecessors in the National Honor Society they will go on to new conquests and fresh honors. With them and other students like them, the future of our country rests in capable, trusted hands.

Our Home Room Treasurers for this senior year are David Cohen 313, Steven Lerner 312, Burton Norris 318, Dave Mclver 213, and Americo DiRamio 214. Mr. Sheehan helps us As the senior year arrives, it is the duty of the Home do our work neatly and accurately. Room Treasurers to collect funds for such various activities of the school as class dues, activities fees, yearbook subscriptions, and prom tickets. It is sometimes very hard to col- lect all the money from some of the students at once. So instead of straining the students’ budgets, we allow them to pay their activities on an installment plan which was found favor- able by the students. Each year the Home Room Treasurer’s duties become more in- volved, but each year the treasurers solve them, and this year the frenzied yet orderly activity of the treasurers has given them ex- perience that will be invaluable in later years.

Row 1 Sumner Fredman, Mr. Greyser, Burton Norris AHunior Kod G25 Sumner Fredman and Benjamin Steinberg served as the representatives to the Junior Red Cross. We were very happy and honored to belong to an organization not only for the pride we felt to represent it in our school, also for the indescribable feeling of joy we got from helping people who had met serious misfortunes in their lives. The purpose of the Junior Red Cross is to assist the Senior Red Cross in any way possible. For example, during the Christmas vacation, many needy families and orphaned children were helped through the efforts of these boys. During the annual Red Cross drive they collected money which went to many worth- while purposes. We are happy to convey our deepest apprecia- tion to our sponsor, Mr. Morris Greyser, with- out whose advice and assistance we could not have been so successful as we were. His care- ful, kindly and expert guidance, will remain a cherished possession forever. We are also happy to thank Mrs. O'Keefe for her excellent guidance.
