VIKRTUOSOS Now for the male recipient of this high honor! “The Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal is awarded to John Bernard Donovan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Donovan of 138 Roosevelt Avenue, for his excellence in all phases of school life. One may well marvel at his outstanding scholastic record which he has maintained throughout his three years here at Tech. His participation in school activities is equally good. As a leader, John is hard to beat, for he has proven his abilities in this field many times. Admired by all, students and faculty alike, because of his cheerfulness and dependability in all situations, he is surely a credit to Tech. MHere’s to your success in the coming years, John!” There is a burst of applause concluding this announcement, and the two winners stand to acknowledge the acclaim. As the last echoes fade away, the conductor resumes his position at the podium, and the Tech Symphony continues. 2a

The conductor swings his baton downward, bringing to a close the first movement of the Tech Symphony. A hush falls over the audience, for he is about to announce the winners of the most coveted award at Tech. Two deserving Techites who have attained the highest degree of “virtuosity” during their three years as students are about to receive the Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal. He speaks: ‘Ann Carol Elphinstone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. Elphinstone of 1476 Page Boulevard, is awarded the Warner Achievement Medal for her excellent record here at Tech. Scholastically, Ann is tops, and she has earned a high place in school citizenship through her good spirit, and willingness to help others. She is not only an outstanding leader, but she is a co-operative worker as well. Having accepted numerous responsibilities, she has excelled in carrying them out. She is, indeed, a model for the rest of her class. Good luck in the future, Ann!” 62. TEGTIEY

Anderson The guiding notes in our Senior Sonata are our six advisers: Mr. William Clancy, Mr. Fales Newhall, Mrs. Goldie Parks, Miss Ann Ratto, Mr. John Robinson, and Miss Eugenia Wilson. How lucky we are to have such willing teachers to help us with our problems and lead us in the right direction! Quite a responsibility confronts these teachers as senior advisers. First, they assist in the planning of the senior dances. This planning includes inventing a theme, making decorations, deciding upon refreshments, and procuring an orchestra. Certainly, this is a big bill to fill! And there are three dances given for seniors: an informal, a semi-formal, and a formal. The last dance requires extra work since it is the senior prom held at the auditorium. Not only do these teachers sponsor and plan dances, but they also sit in at all com- mittee meetings including those of the banner, color, ballot, and hat committees. Now, at the end of our high school career we want to extend our thanks to these unforgettable friends. Ann H. Atanian Albert M. Ayers Barbara E. Baker Robert A. Ballard
