Junior Class Picnic. Among the special activities held for the upperclassmen is the junior picnic. This takes place during the spring semester, usually in May. On the day of the picnic, members of the class come to school at the usual time but arc dismissed at 12:45 to prepare for the departure of the buses at 1:00. At that time tne buses pull away from the school, heading for a nearby park. This happy experience comes to an end at about 5:30 with the bus ride back to school. Although a drenching downpour brought it to a close, our picnic, held at the South Mountain Reservation, was an overwhelming success. Junior French Club.

Physics laboratory Lab Assistants. If one is interested in learning more about the practical aspects of chemistry or physics and has enough free time, being a lab assistant can be a very rewarding experience. As the title implies, a lab assistant helps the lab teacher set up experiments and docs some of the more menial and less dangerous work, giving him much valuable experience. His chores include keeping the shelves of the lab neat, filling reagent bottles, and weighing out quantities of chemicals for experiments. As the number of chemistry and physics students increases, a proportionate strain is put on the lab teachers and the help of the lab assistant becomes more valuable.—sec illustration.
