Executive Board Marjorie Dake, Edward Giberti The Student Council held the first dance of the year, A Get-Together Gambol , on September 28. The dance was well supported, and it gave the members of the various classes a chance to get acquainted. A committee was appointed to continue the addition of names to the Honor Roll, and all stu- dents were asked to submit the names of any former students who were not listed on the Honor Roll. The first amendment to the Student Council Con- stitution was added this year. The amendment stated that the boys in the Industrial Arts course should now have a representative on the Council. It has been felt that such a representative would enable these boys to keep in much closer touch with the activities of the high school. Delegates from our Student Council attended the Southeastern Massac,husetts Student Council Con- ventions held at Fall River and New Bedford. These conventions discussed methods of operating student councils and ways to improve this impor- tant school organization. The meetings consisted of discussions, a banquet, and entertainment. The sale of stamps and bonds was continued through the first of the year, with a goal set of one hospital unit. The Council held a movie show one afternoon in the Assembly Hall. charging admission to help pay Council expenses. The usual projects, such as carol singing, the Red Cross drive, and the Infantile Paralysis drive, were successfully carried out by the Council.

The Senior Class play was presented December 16, 1945. under the direction ot' Mrs. Avery. 6 The play takes place in Mrs. Plop's exclusive boarding house, where we iind Dixie, the maid, who thinks Shakespeare am de grandest thing, Gaylord Grant, a ham actor of the pastg Joy Janu- ary, a vaudevillian: and Mrs. Plop. Ronnie Ward, another boarder, is trying to sell a scenario to Sam Strudel. To do so, he must have a French Duchess to take the lead. Luckily, there arrives naive Elsie Blake, who has also been bitten by the movie bug. Ronnie persuades Elsie to impersonate a duchess who is in Hollywood for a rest. When Sam Strudel comes to meet this duchess, she tells him she can't act in his play because she is on vacation: but for her friend Ronnie she'll con- descend to do this. As luck would have it, Sam Strudcl discovers the plot and refuses to do the play. In the end Erasmus Q. Dinsmore, who is not only a Harvard professor but also a millionaire. produces Ronnie's play and all ends happily.
