THE CRIMSON AND GRAY Senior Class presented November 16, Come Out of the Kitchen under the super- vision of Miss Fitzgerald. The cast was as follows: Olivia Dangerfield Betsy Bernheim Elizabeth Dangerfield Stephanie Liro Paul Dangerfield John Merrill Charles Dangerfield Winston Dorrell Amanda Polly Chamberlain Randolph Weeks Rene Francazzi Burton Crane Arthur Canning Mrs. Falkner Elizabeth Sutcliffe Cora Falkner Jeannette Allard Solon Tucker Louis Bourdelais Thomas Lefferts Paul Haynes The committees included; tickets, Alphonse Charron; treasurer, Walter Remian; publi- city, John McTighe; printing, Rita Walsh; ushers, Richard Macallister; music, Raniero Francazzi; candy, Estelle Robidoux; scenery and stage, chairman Raymond Blanchard, Joseph V. Askmankas, Arthur Johnson, and Abraham Schwartzberg; stage manager, Lov- rien Price. The class is very grateful to Miss Corbin for her help and to Miss Aucoin for prop- erties. Not a little of the effective stage ap- pearance was due to Mr. Lanza ' s supervision of the work by the scenery committee. The realism of a pump that pumped water made us glow with a feeling of accomplishment. We thank Perron and Co. for this plumb- ing which they so generously provided. MY IMPRESSION OF HIGH SCHOOL High School! There are hardly words enough in my vocabulary to describe it. It ' s really a new word to me ... A Freshiel ! People come and people go about their way every day carrying books GALORE! talking about their homework, their clubs, bids for such and such a dance, or a new play to be given soon in the auditorium, n ' every- thing of this day and age. All that the boys can talk about right now is how they are going to BEAT WEBSTER and all that girls talk about . . . WELL! Freshies go through the corridors with frightened looks on their faces. The Sopho- mores glare at the Freshmen because they are ONE year ahead. The Juniors don ' t seem to realize that we exist-and the Seniors-OH! They ' re out of sight. But! We ' re not worrying. We ' ll be Upper Classmen too, someday and we ' ll probably treat the next set of Freshies the same way. Martha Nichols ' 38 (Newly appointed Freshman Editor) ART THOU? (Continued from Page 8) ideal setting for young love. We shall inter- pret the streak of lightning as meaning that the said emotion is not all it ' s cracked-up to be. The abrupt change of dark to light to be seen at the upper left we shall not attempt to explain, for it might mean any one of half-a- hundred things. The thing in the left fore- ground appears to be a streamline automo- bile, at first glance. With this in mind, we shall conclude that the lady in question de- serted the gentleman with the acrobatic in- clinations for another with more of what-it- takes-to-get-along. But on second thought, the thing more closely resembles a pink ele- phant; therefore, it would seem that th e ob- ject of the whole masterpiece was to impress the observer with the evils of drink! With this example set clearly before you, how can you fail to comprehend this type of art? One never knows how profitable such keen understanding of art may be to him. Art institutes are continually awarding gen- erous money prizes for thoroughly sloppy, jumbled masses of color, so the next time you find yourself in need of a bit of that necessary evil-money-merely equip yourself with easel and oils and become— a modern artist!

DECEMBER 1934 n CLUBS STUDENT COUNCIL FOR the benefit of those who do not fully understand just what is the purpose of the Student Council, we, the members of the Student Council, ask you to read this article to gain an interest in your organization. T he Council is organized to create a better school spirit, a good student government re- presenting the entire body, and to help any worthy organization of the school through both finances and moral support. The Council consists of twenty-four mem- bers including ten seniors, eight juniors, five sophomores, and one freshman. Aloysius Koprowski, Anthony Silvestri and Gertrude Pezzetti are the officers and Miss Aucoin, the faculty adviser. The president of each class becomes a member automatically, present members come in automatically, and the re- maining members are elected by the indi- vidual classes. The Student Council has, in the last two years, purchased a set of furniture which is used by all organizations of the school, spon- sored a Louise Galloway play in order to aid the Athletic Association, and given many afternoon dances. The W Club The W Club was organized in the mid- dle of September under the governing hand of Coach Harry J. McMahon with the follow- ing officers: president, Aloysius Koprowski; vice-president, Walter Remian; secretary and Treasurer, Lovrein Price. Plans were made for future activities. Afternoon dances will be given, and we hope that you will fully cooper- ate with the W club to make them success- ful. A committee was chosen for a large dance to be given during the Christmas holidays. The W club ' s first activity was to pre- vent persons who did not earn a W from wearing the school letter. This was done so that athletes could be distinguished from the rest of the students. At the beginning of the football season the W club decided that, by issuing season tickets at one dollar each, more school spirit would be shown. That this has been success- ful is easily seen by the large crowds that are attending our games. Students are given six. games of football, seventeen games of basket- ball, and ten games of baseball all for the price of one dollar. Girls ' basketball was started November 13, and a very large group of girl athletes turned out. Coach McMahon has charge of these girls, and he is doing a very good job in training them. The W takes this opportunity to thank Mr. McMahon for his cooperation in manag- ing this club. Under his unparalleled leader- ship we are sure to succeed. Latin Club The Latin Club has twelve members and is under the guidance of Miss Hefner. All mem- bers are Latin students. The purpose of the club is to study such subjects as Roman Mythology which cannot be undertaken in class. Orchestra The High School Orchestra which holds weekly rehearsals has a membership of fifteen. Supervisor of Orchestra — Mrs. Rubenstein Assistant Conductor — George Watson Violins: Louis Ugalde, Rosaire Lamon- tagne, Francis Murphy, Frederick Joslin, Ma- falda Rossi, Mary Salviuolo, Lillian Larson, Jeannette Waskiewicz. Piano: Rita Walsh, Pauline Earls, Jean- nette Collette. Cornet: Gray Buckley. Saxophone: Lovrein Price. Drums: Richard Macallister, George Wat- son.
