Other special interest clubs of a more recreational nature are: Folk Dancing Club, Square Dancing Club, Body Building Club. This type of activity is very much regulated by the current interests of both our faculty and student body and may be of a much shorter duration than other clubs or activities.
As the listing of clubs and activities might suggest, the variety of experiences available to our student body are by design directed at "Education for All."

MASCONOMET REGIONAL SCHOOL REPORT
Foreign Student Exchange Program
This fall Miss Dietland Fobbe, a seventeen year old student from Hanover, Germany, became the first foreign exchange student to enroll for a year's program at Masconomet. We are planning on at least one foreign student each year under this program and if funds can be provided possibly more than one student can be enrolled. Admittedly, the benefits and experiences of such a program are great- er for the student entering the country than for our own students who receive the Exchange Student but having a foreign student in our midst does help in our goal of developing greater understanding of the ideologies and customs of other lands.
During her year here, Deitland will live with three families, one from each of the three towns in the district. Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Barrows of 4 Gregory Street, Middleton, have provided a home from September 17th to December 29th, while Mr. and Mrs. Lee Ballengee of Woodcrest Road, Boxford, will provide a home for Dietland until April 13th and Mr. and Mrs. Kurt F. Harries, 28 Mansion Drive, Topsfield will have her in their home until her departure in June.
Mrs. Erna Fullerton, teacher of German and Mr. Theodore Meinelt, Art Supervisor and Mrs. Dorothy Senecal, Guidance Counse- lor, have worked as a faculty committee along with a student commit- tee to make the program and experiences for Dietland as meaningful as possible.
The expenses to our school for this program are being met through the efforts of fund raising activities by the student body with Student Council endorsement of the entire program and it is generally agreed that here is a program that should be continued and possibly expanded. The possibility of sending one of our own students to a foreign country for a summer or even a year is not beyond reality.
In closing I wish to express deep respect for the vision and educational leadership provided by you, as Superintendent of Schools. The personality of Masconomet and the direction of its progress is a living tribute to your tireless efforts on behalf of the youth in this district. The devotion and enthusiasm of our staff members and the pride expressed by most parents in this school are results that do not come by chance. I hope that, as Principal of Masconomet, I can live up to the challenges involved in maintaining the high standards you have set and in truly providing excellence in "Education for All".
Respectfully submitted, CORRIDON F. TRASK, JR. Principal

MASCONOMET REGIONAL SCHOOL REPORT
CLASS OF 1961
The 107 members of Masconomet's second graduating class were presented their diplomas at impressive exercises held in the Henry F. Long auditorium on Thursday Evening, June 8, 1961 with Mr. Merton S. Barrows, Chairman of the School Committee making the presenta- tions.
The Class of 1961 with 17 more members than Masconomet's first graduating class holds the distinction for the moment of being the largest class to graduate from the school. In addition, thirteen of the class were elected to membership in the New Meadows Chapter of the National Honor Society, with eight of these earning this distinction in their junior year. Of 107 graduates, 33 were from Boxford, 38 from Middleton, and 36 from Topsfield.
A survey of the class made early this fall revealed that 85 of the 107 graduates (79.4%) are continuing their education, and that of these 43 (50.6% ) are attending four-year degree granting institu- tions. The following table summarizes the placement of the members of the Class of 1961:

TREASURER'S REPORT
July 24, 1961
Mr. Julius H. Mueller, Superintendent Masconomet Regional High School Boxford, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I have made an examination of the books and records of the Student Activity Fund of the Masconomet Regional High School as of June 30, 1961.
Cash representing the individual student funds totalled $2,693.17. This money is on deposit at the Arlington Trust Company, Lawrence, Massachusetts and an examination of the bank reconciliation was made reflecting this total amount on deposit as of June 30, 1961.
My examination revealed that all receipts to student activity funds are receipted for in writing by the Treasurer and that all dis- bursements are authorized by student treasurer with the written ap- proval of a faculty advisor and the Assistant Principal. All checks are signed by the Assistant Principal - Mr. R. C. Dresser.
My examination of the system of controls and bookkeeping records revealed, in my opinion, an excellent job on the part of Mr. Stanton, the Treasurer.
Very truly yours,
Francis F. Perry /s/ Francis F. Perry Treasurer
