Sophomore Council 1944 This year the Sophomores are de- voting their time and energy to make their class outstanding in school records and activities. Miss Rowlinson and Miss Fallon, class sponsors, are supervising the first of these activities-a widely adver- tised Be Punctuall' campaign featuring thermometer posters to show the relative eH'orts of the sophomore homerooms. The Council is busily engaged in making arrangements for their annual par- ty to be held in the early spring. In the meantime, it is planning for basketball clubs and other athletic activities. The year 1944 will be successful for the Sophomore Class due to the excel- lent guidance of its sponsors, the enthu- siasm of its girls, and the capable leader- ship of its officers: President, Dorothy Hughesg vice president, Eleanor Cluckg secretary, Ann Bensong treasurer, Therese Reilly.

1944 On December Io, 1943, the star- lets of Roxbury Memorial High School made their debut in the annual Scholar- ship Play. The Class of '44 presented I Have Five Daughters, adapted from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Natalie Yavner as Mrs. Bennett, and Shirley Hamer, Selma Bloch, Gertrude Yarchin, Dorothy Enguanti, and Shirley Ogintz, as the five daughters, were of- fered an opportunity to reveal their act- ing ability and talent to an unusually large audience. VVe shall never forget the excellent performances given by Winona McCarthy, Dorothy Walker, Lila Mar- shall, and Phyllis Cressilov in the diflicult roles of men. The ideal Cast was completed by Shirley Coughlin, Helen Gilman, Shir- ley Albert, and Judith Glickstein. A charming and colorful addition to the eVening's entertainment were our usher- ettes in formal attire. The Scholarship Play Our appreciation is extended to the cast for an excellent performance and to Mrs. Whitehouse for her skilled coaching. VVe are also grateful to Miss Shea, our Class Sponsor, and to the members of the faculty who helped make our play a suc- cess. The Scholarship Play will always remain in our memories as one of the outstanding accomplishments of our Senior Year. ' Ushers at the Scholarship Play fl19l
