Mason, Miss Frost Winthrop High School Orchestra One of the most important features during the school year has been the devel- opment of the orchestra under the efficient leadership of Miss Qrissa Frost. Each week we meet to enjoy playing together as well as to prepare musical numbers for various programs throughout the year. The orchestra played several selections before a large audience at the junior Prize Speaking Contest. VVe have also taken part in school assemblies. The orchestra is composed as follows: three violins played by Margret Jones, Robert lloutin, and Adrien Knovvltong two saxophones played by Russell Dra- peau and Norman Manwellq drummer, Leston Mason: and pianist, Floyd Smith. We have received many compliments and we feel that the orchestra is indeed a success. VVe certainly owe much of this success to our director, Miss Frost. Margaret jones, '53 S

VVINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 19 COMMERCIAL CLUB Front Row: M. Cook, H. Diamond, E. Bafties, Miss Tapley, A. Bowens, R. Lewia, H. Smith Back Row: S. Ozog, S. Horzempa, M. Sprague, F. Richards, H. Slonina, I. Fleury, A. Dostie, M. Prescott Commercial Club News The Commercial Club, under the direction of Miss Marguerite Tapley, opened its activities this year with the initiation of a number ot new members. At the first of the year, the club con- sisted of only four members. After the first ranking period however, the club was increased to sixteen members. The chief aim of the Commercial Club members is to obtain and keep a high average rank. Instead of spending our time arranging parties and dances, we put it to good use by working for awards in shorthand and typewriting, which in the end are more profitable to us. All of the Commercial Club members have won awards either in shorthand or type- writing. Special honor and congratula- tions go to Helen Slonina who received honorable mention in a recent, nation- wide contest for fluency and accuracy in writing shorthand outlines. , The Commercial Club students appre- ciate the fact that we are able to have such a fine club, and we offer our sin- cerest thanks to Miss Tapley who has made our club a success. One of our members, Harriett Laugh- ton, was absent when the above picture was taken. M. Cook, '39
