18 CHimes should make a snapj y picture out on parade, preceded by six drum majorettes under the leadership of Ligi Goddard. These peppy lassies are Martha Peirce, Verdella Goddard, Shirley Chadbourne, Mary Dwight, and Mari- lyn Pratt. Through the efforts of the entire group, the band is fast becoming one of the school ' s most important organizations. This year a total of ten cheerleaders could be seen cheering our teams on to victory. Nancy Wyman was again chosen leader of the group, which consisted of Ginny Mongeau, Debby Andrews, Annette Milliken, Phyllis Mitchell, Gladys Hill, Martha Peirce, Ann- claine Limper, Louise Reddy, and Laura Ccr- illi. During the basketball season, Verdella Goddard joined the group. Two new organizations have been started in the school this year. Under the sponsorship of the Kiwanis Club, the Key Club was started. This club is made up of boys from the sopho- more, junior, and senior classes who tjualify in scholarship. The boys have already been active in many ways. The second organization is the Student Council. This group has con- ducted bi-weekly meetings since its inception in January. This year the dances have been enjoyable though not too successful financially. The senior dance was held November 1, under the name of the Pigskin Party. December 6 the juniors held a very high-class shindig called the Drag-On-Drag. Al Deiss and his orchestra provided the music for both of these dances. On March 21, the combined freshman and sophomore classes held a dance called the Golden Slipper Ball with music by Mil Barnes and his orchestra. The Junior Prom was held on May 6 at Drcamwold Hall. This dance proved to be a great success both socially and financially. The Juniors gave the Seniors their reception on June 8, an occasion which was also enjoyed by all who attended. In November, a magazine drive sponsored by the Curtis Publishing Company was held. The entire school displayed a great deal of enthusiasm throughout the drive, but partic- ular recognition goes to the Junior High for their efforts. Arthur Dunphy was awarded a radio for being high salesman in the drive. A percentage of the proceeds, which totaled over $1,000, will benefit the various depart- ments of the school. The annual Red Cross Drive was held in January. The students aided this worthy cause by contributing generously, as usual. Before Christmas, each homeroom filled several gift boxes to be sent to needy children in foreign countries. Several of the assemblies this year have been student participation programs, presenting a demonstration of the work of various depart- ments. Much outside talent has been intro- duced also, including such speakers as Mr. Lloyd Bemis, who gave an illustrated lecture on Virginia; Mrs. CorAvith of the National Broadcasting Company, whose topic was Be- hind the Scenes in Raclio ; George E. Caraker, a prominent news analyst and journalist, who gave an informative talk on international af- fairs; Piero Pierotic, a baritone of the Vienna opera, who sang many popular numbers and also presented an excerpt from Rigoletto ; Jesse Robertson, who presented a very inius- ual and entertaining lesson in ancient musical history entitled Song Hits of 1947 B. C ; Grace W. Keene, actress and interpreter, whose interpretation of the play, I Remem- ber Mama was extremely enjoyable; and Dr. Alson Keener, whose illustrated lecture, Our Afexican Neighbors, proved to be most edu- cational. At Christmastime, some of the stu- dents presented a pantomime portraying Dickens ' Christmas Carol. The French De- partment put on three short plays in French. Several students had an opportunity to par- ticipate in these plays and thereby display the ease with which they have learned to s eak and understand the language. The members of the Science Department in their assembly performed many experiments in both chemistry and physics, explaining the principles of science. Tliis was particularly interesting. The Senior history class has been respon- sible for two assemblies this year. In Novem- ber, the class staged an election based as nearly as possible on the state election which was being held at the time. A political rally was held in which sjaeakers for both parties spoke for the men representing their party. In January, the same department presented what proved to be the fruits of diligent study. Under the direction of Miss Gile, about twenty pupils undertook to debate on the national debate topic, Resolved: That the Federal Government should provide a system of com- plete medical care at public expense. After a series of preliminary debates, the winners staged a final contest in which the negative side was victorious. In April the Marshfield and Scituate bands presented an excellent concert, which Avas enthusiastically received. All of these activities, and many others, have combined to make the current school year a pleasant one.

Student Jean Ho EARLY in the year, the students of Scitu- ate High unanimously agreed that a student coimcil would be a benefit to both the faculty and members of the student body. A temporary committee consisting of five seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, two freshmen, and one from each of the Junior High classes met with Mr. Calkin and formed a constitution according to our needs and desires. After careful consideration, the con- stitution was presented to the entire student body and accepted. A permanent student council of the same number was chosen shortly after the consti- tution was accepted. The representatives of the school are as follows: seniors, Pat Cahir, Frank Cole, Robert Devine, Annette Milliken, and Jeanie Holcomb; juniors, Gabriel Jacco- bucci, Jane Keyes, Jean Prouty, and Jack Varney; sophomores, Ann Arapoff, Jack Mills and John Stewart; freshmen, George Mitchell, Council ■onib, ' 77 Elizabeth Murrill; eighth grade, William Eaton and seventh grade, Thomas Snow. At the first formal meeting of the Scituate High School Student Council officers were chosen as follows: president, Robert Devine; vice-president, Frank Cole; secretary, Jean Prouty; and treasurer, Gabriel Jacobucci. Although the council has only recently been formed, many plans have already been made. Proceeds gained from selling programs at the Scituate-Norwell basketball game will be used for future council needs. The student council, with the co-operation of the student body, will try to carry out the ideals of the preamble of the constitution which is as follows: We, the students of Scituate High School, in order to foster school spirit, create better co-operation and closer relationshi]) between students and faculty, en- courage students to co-operate in the maintenance of the school property, and coordinate school activities, do hereby establish this constitution.
