KEY CLUB Robert Dunphy, ' 48 THE Key Club is an organization of high school boys sponsored by Kiwanis Inter- national. The local Kiwanis Club makes every effort to help us organize and to teach every member of our club rules of friendship and better government. At present the Scituate High School Key Club has eleven members, consisting of Junior and Senior boys who have qualified scholastically. Our president is Ronald Fallon; vice president. Jon Flynn; secretary, Robert Dunphy; and treasurer, Gabriel Jacobucci. The purpose of this club, besides good fellow- ship, is to organize and work in every way pos- sible for the benefit of our school and our com- munity. During the recent basketball season, members of the Key Club were in charge of the sale of tickets at the home games. Our most im- portant contribution to the school so far has been the purchase of a movie camera, which may be used to take pictures of athletic and other events. We have in mind other objectives, such as bleachers, uniforms, and a new field. We hope some day to have every boy in the last two years of Scituate High School a member of our organi- zation. During the year we have received excellent assistance from our principal. Mr. Froberger.

NEW ENGLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL 1947 - 1948 Earl Merritt, ' 48 ' I HE New England School Music Festival was held in 1947 at Brattleboro. Vermont on March 19-22. There were present well over five hundred fifty school musicians from all over New England. These were divided into three organiza- tions: namely, the orchestra, of which 1 was a member: the band; and the chorus. The chorus was by far the largest group with about three hundred fifty members. The first three days were divided into three rehearsal periods with lunch and recreation periods in between. These rehearsals, although rather accelerated because of the tremendous anionnt of work to be done in short time, were very enjoyable. The last day there were two con- certs, afternoon and evening, following a rehear- sal in the morning. This year Scituate High was fortunate in hav- ing two delegates to the festival, which was held at South Portland. Maine, in April. Jack Mills of the Junior Class and 1 were accepted. 1 believe that many values are obtained from activities of this kind. One of the most important is learning how to conduct yourself in a large group of students of your own age; others are musical experience, the chance to play in a large group before an audience, and the companionship of students with one interest in coimnon, music
