BAND This year's Wentworth Band, conducted by Mr. William Tesson of the New England Conservatory of Music and under the watchful eyes of its advisors, Mr. Harold Lang and Mr. Robert Earls, has strived to its utmost to give presentations of itself that could be appreciated and we hope remembered by the students long after graduation. The bancl's quality this past year was to be found in its tone, intonation, harmony and well-rounded instrumentation. Its full concert band sound and the enthusiasm, co-operation, and talent of the members themselves made for outstanding performances during the year. As usual we were under pressure from a lack of rehearsal time, which helped us more than hindered us for it brought out the best of our musical talent. We performed at the Presidents convocation, the Christmas convocation, the Open House, the Spring Musicale and at a meeting of the Quincy Women's Club, featuring highlights from Broadway musicals such as West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein and Gypsy by Jule Styne. For oiiicers this year we elected as president, Richard janhola, AET-lA, as librarian, Matt Sears, EE-2B.

ASTME The American Society of Tool and Manufacturing Engineers was founded in 1932. Today ASTME serves the professional needs of tool and manufacturing engineers throughout the free world as a nonprofit educational and scientific institution. Wentworth Institute offers students the oppormnity to join this organization and to benefit through active participation at our student chapter meetings. The main purpose of ASTME is to enhance the engineering student's education by reporting significant de- velopments in manufacturing engineering. This is accomplished at Wentworth through a variety of activities-films, literature, demonstrations and technical talks by local industrial representatives. This year the society has viewed a number of technical movies from Allegheny Ludlum Company, Bethlehem Steel Company, Humble Oil and Refining Company, Fellows Gear Shaper Company and National Tool, Die and Precision Machining Associa- tion. We have also heard informative talks by industrial representatives from the follow- ing companies: Blanchard Machine Company, New England Carbide Tool Company, Allou,Engineering, Inc., Starrett Tool Company, Boston Gear Company and United States Gypsum Company. Members of ASTME also receive copies of the Technical Journal-The Tool and Manufacturing Engineer.

CLEE CLUB The Glee Club is one of the most popular and well-known clubs at Wentworth. Perhaps better than any other activity it represents the Wentworth spirit through its enthusiastic effort to provide musical entertainment throughout the year. It is regularly featured-at Presidents convocations, and stars annually at the Open House and Spring Musicale, as well as the Christmas Convocation and caroling on Boston Common. This year the club has performed a wide variety of songs, including Negro spirituals, show tunes, popular songs, and serious religious music. Some of this year's favorite numbers were Tonight from Wert Side Story and Hello, Dolly from the show of the same name. Under the Hue direction of Mr. Edward Whittredge and with the excellent accompani- ment of Mr. Samuel Adams the Glee Club has flourished and grown into a line choral organization. A particularly fine feature of the club is the Double Quartet, which presents outstanding songs of harmony on special occasions. This year the Double Quartet con- sisted of David Erickson and David Shelton, baritonesg Roland Packard and Steven Ayer, second tenors, Bernard Pesce and David Crane, first tenorsg and Milan Cook and Edward Hopkins, basses. It is only through the combined efforts of each and every member that the Glee Club can present a successful and entertaining year's program. This year's club was a credit to the director, the faculty advisors, and to Wentworth Institute.
