The Student Council Dance, held on Oc- tober 9, was a bigger success than the past few years. Dick Madison’s Band was fea- tured. The Art Club has elected as this year’s officers: Angela Albano, president; Anthony Simonelli, vice-president; Doris French, sec- retary; Sally Parlee, corresponding secre- tary; Marco Machi, treasurer; Robert Jack- son, Student Council representative. Its mem- bers have settled quickly into their winter- program, and have already accomplished the lettering of the band’s two bass drums, and eight Student Council dance posters.

They have now settled down to the work at hand, and Tilia Fantasia, President has suggested the topic of teen-age curfew for their first debate with the new members present. To open the month of December, the Play- ers’ Club will present “The Mountain House Mystery.” To judge from last year’s per- formance of “Father of the Bride,” it should be a great success.

Bob Crotty, winner of the Red Feather Speaking Contest at Somerville High School, placed second in the regional contest held at Malden High School on October 28. He was heartily congratulated by the faculty present and complimented on his original manner of presentation. Through the combined efforts of the Household Arts and Retail Distribution classes of Somerville High, and the courtesy of Simplicity patterns, a fashion show as- sembly was held on Tuesday, October 6. The commentator, Miss Riceman, introduced the following girls, who ably modeled the newest styles: Mary Toby, Gloria Steriti, Florine Buchan, Mary Franciosi, Nancy Devlin, Carol Lees, Gwendoyn Canfield, Joan Welch, Elaine McKay, Patricia Shanahan, Beverly Hoyts, Beverly Rochowiak, Clare Glynn, Nancy Medas, Mary Cassidy, Margaret Hurst, and Patricia Kalenderian. Leave your cigarettes at home, boys (and girls!) Smoking to and from school and on the school premises is still on your “don’t” list. Girls! Your bobby pins are showing! And button your collars, roll down your sleeves, boys—that man is looking at you again!
