Being still in the process of development, it will receive warmly any suggestions for the improvement of school spirit. It is preparing to entertain the student body by a party and dance from three to five on Friday, November 18. Plans have been made to send representa- tives from the Student Council and the Traffic Squad to the State-wide Council meeting at Fall River next May. If the school so desires, it may be arranged to hold this meeting here in South bridge in 1934. The Council ' s initial endeavor to be of as- sistance to the school was seen in its contri- bution to Mr. McMahon ' s entertainment of October 7. First Assembly Held on October 7 The first Friday morning assembly was held October 7. Mr. McMahon ' s room provided the entertainment: a duet by Jana Bingley and Mary Dani played both as the audience en- tered and as it left; a violin solo charmingly played by Sally Morehouse with Mildred Hiemer as accompanist; a talk by Alfred De- Angelis concerning the Student Council; a piano solo by Elizabeth Sutcliffe; and finally a speech on school spirit by Coach McMahon himself. The program was read by Raymond Lenti, quite distingue in spectacles and coat- tails, and everyone enjoyed the half-hour ' s recreation. Class Activities J933 At its meeting in early September the Senior class elected the following officers: President John Tobia Vice-President Frances Redhead Secretary Philippina DeAngelis Treasurer R udolph LeDuc Adviser Mr. Greene SHE ' S A GOOD FELLOW. The play She ' s a Good Fellow was decided upon by Lucille Monroe, Frances Redhead, John Bingley, Jennie Calo, and Jerome Cap- lovitch, the committee to determine what the annual Senior presentation was to be this year. Tryouts in charge of Miss Fitzgerald were held in the auditorium and the following cast was chosen: Leo Lane George Farland Theodore Tyler Clarence Miller Mrs. Tyler Philippina DeAngelis Corinne Tyler Lucille Monroe Rose G ardner Ruth Carpenter Ivy Gardner Rita Livernois Violet Gardner Isabel Sangren Carl Gardner Rudolph LeDuc Wright Gilmore William Andrews Prudence Pepper Frances Redhead Bridget McGerr Noella Lamarine Mamie Clancy Madeline Allman We all have seen some of the above actors in other plays, and have found their acting to be excellent. With the new actors added to the experienced ones, we are sure that the Seniors will come out with flying colors and make the drama well worth seeing. Let ' s all be there to give them a hand on December 9, at the Town Hall!
