the group very close throughout the year. Contrary to all expectations, bas- ketball, not skiing, was the sport of the winter season, especially among the Griffins who began to take their turn at success. Members of varsity basketball were: Mary Bertucio, Hon- ora Haynes, Marjorie Hamilton, Mol- ly Hubbard, Edith Ninomiya and Ruth Snider. The other major sport during the winter term was modern dance and, languid as it sounds, there was nothing in the physical education program more strenuous ! At the end of each season of sport one of the most exciting announce- ments is the winners of the two hun- dred and fifty points required for membership in the A Society.

Es- corts at church and at Sunday dinner caused quite a commotion, and then, alas, at two o ' clock curfew sounded and many dejected girls found them- selves either hopelessly in love or hopelessly out of it, but deserted in either case. On the Saturday before spring vacation the Seniors presented The Barretts —a complete triumph. Bette Gorsuch as Elizabeth not only played her part; she lived it. Jeanne Bower- sox as Browning portrayed the daring unconventionality of that character splendidly. The supporting cast was equally fine. Every year Abbot sends delegates to the Northfield Conference and their reports stimulate interest among the students for the following year. Their Good Night meetings and their occasional vesper services keep The Barretts, presented by the Class of ' 4 2 l«o]

SPRING TERM All winter prospective skiers looked in vain for snow. As soon as they gave up hope and packed their skis away for the summer the snows came! Yes, spring arrived robed in white, but before long the golf, tennis, riding and baseball majors were well launched on their spring sports pro- gram. There was a strange new interest in Fidelio this year! Could it have been caused by the presentation of H.M.S. Pinafore with the masterful aid of Phillips Academy? At any rate Dance for Victory! the show was a great success and was repeated by request for the benefit of Andover ' s defense efforts. And now before this story draws to a close, the Yearbook Board Spring at last! .bring out equestriennes! [OS]
