ZIMMERMAN History Hobart College, B.A. Wyaffjw 04 ljauozifs Spot One of the attractive features which Mamaroneck has to offer the residents is its fine facilities for boating. The story of the development of these facilities forms an interesting page in its history. In the year 1661 Iohn Richbell bought Mamaroneck from the Indians to cultivate the 1and , and it is quite probable to start a smuggling business in the fine harbors which this site included. Larchmont harbor furthered the sport of sailing, and in 1875 the Larchmont Yacht Club was established in which such great cup de- fenders as Vigilant, Defender, Columbia and Reliance were registered. For the produce of outlying farms the Sound proved a convenient route of transportation. From Mamaroneck harbor, in the l870's, the sailing craft, Iohn G. Perry, made three trips a week to New York. However, due to channel difficulties, the Perry could enter and depart only at high tide. By 1880 produce was piled so high on her decks that a larger vessel was needed. The Mary E. Gordon, a steam freighter, was accordingly put into service. In 1894 the government dredged the channel: then five trips a week were possible. A unique part of the cargo was pumice stone from the Van Amringe Mill. In 1907 a second freighter, the Irene E. Davis, was added. During the World War these freighters were very active, but soon water transporta- tion became less popular, and in 1924 freighter service ended. Today, however, we still see many barges carrying cargoes of building sup- plies unloaded at the docks. Again, in 1916, the Harbor was dredged and the mud taken from the bottom used as fill upon which grew Harbor Island with its' public beach and fine playground. On the west side ofthe Harbor Chapman's Boat Yard did a thriving business in building and storing the yachts which soon became so popular. Early in the l900's, the Mamaroneck, the Sheldrake and the Orienta Yacht Clubs were established about the Harbor. The development of the craft that anchored there is interesting to note. The first racing boats, popular in the l880's, were of the shallow, centerboard, skimming dish typecarrying sandbags for ballast which were shifted from port to starboard when sailing to windward. These boats, about forty feet long and expensive in construction, were almost exclusively the hobbies of millionaires. Since then approximately thirty classes have been added. Boats like the Snipe and Wee Scot have proved popular among the boys and girls of Westchester and Long Island, who do not hestitate to contend against their elders in races planned by the various clubs. There they share in the fine spirit of friendship and good sportsmanship that has been fostered among the sailors on both sides of the Sound. Our own school has many enthusiasts. Therefore, the Seniors have chosen Sailing for the theme of the 1940 edition of Scraps .

Page 17 anim On February 2, 1940, a capacity house witnessed the annual stage production of the Senior Class. This year the Class of 1940 had the distinction of being the first amateur group to present the Broadway comedy success, What A Life , by Clifford Goldsmith. The play was directed by Mr. Iohn H. Corfield. This play's problems in stage settings, numerous stage entrances and characterizations were successfully dealt with by the well-trained actors and competent stage hands. Throughout the evening a highly amused audience followed the adventures of Henry Aldrich as he floundered in one predicament after another. The cast was as follows: Ted Rathbone Marion Brower Cathryn Hutchinson Bill Thrasher Marjorie Deckleman Norman O'Connell Elizabeth Taylor Anne Yale Ray La Brusciano Margaret Lowrey Bob Barrett Iean Warner David Patterson Peggy Hessler Charles Schlierer Anne Yale Henry Aldrich Barbara Pearson Miss Shea Mr. Nelson Miss Pike Bill Miss Eggleston Miss Iohnson Mr. Vecchitte Gertie Mr. Bradley Miss Wheeler George Bigelow Mrs. Aldrich Mr. Furguson Mary Deeter Arrangements for the production were handled by various Senior committees. David Patterson-Assistant Director, Emerson Heyworth- Stage Manager, Ann Tunno-Properties, Wemer Fuch-Business Man- ager, Anne Yale-Publicity, Richard Andrews and Ierry Patterson- Electricians, Arthur Frampton-House Committee, Grace Di Paola- Costumes and Make Up, Clinton Branch-Ticket Sales, Bemard King- Dance Chairman and their supporting committees helped the actors make this one of the smoothest and most financially successful of Bellows Senior dramatic endeavors.

U65 general, anizafion This year marks the third anniversary of the Frederick E. Bellows High School General Organization. Amid the campaign speeches, cheers and jeers of the student body the officers were elected the last week of May, 1939 under the new amendment to the constitution. The powers of the General Organization over school finances have been greatly enlarged. The organization not only handles all allowances for school organizations but also compensates referees, umpires and linesmen at school athletic events. The activity of the organization does not stop here, however. It has brought about definite improvement in corridor conditions by pro- viding for the Traffic Guides that we so respectfully pass in the hall as they direct traffic between bells. Several dances and a very successful bridge party have been sponsored by the General Organization for the benefit of the Student Handbook and The Student Observer. The General Organization, or the council, consists of twenty-five members in all with twenty students and five faculty members. How- ever, these people are merely the representatives of every student in the Iunior and Senior High School, and it is through these representa- tives that the organization is able to promote school spirit, cooperation and understanding between the students and the faculty , which is the purpose of the organization as stated in the constitution. Due to the splendid guidance and support of our new superin- tendent, as well as that of every faculty member of the General Organization, it has enjoyed perhaps the most successful year of its existence. ln March of 1938 the hopes of a small group of Seniors materialized into the first General Organization of the school. The second year found the G. O. a fixed part of the school life. And in this, its third year, the group has attained recognition throughout the school as an important factor in the smooth functioning of student activities. dlfczfionaf Olfonoz 5065867 In an impressive ceremony, held on February 8, 1940, in which Alumni members returned to take part, five Seniors and three Iuniors, received awards for their outstanding efforts in Scholarship, Citizenship, Leadership, and Service. These were Clinton Branch, Peggy Hessler, Michael Lorys, Harlow Martin, David Patterson, Kenneth Borst, Philo- mena Chioda, and Peter Dufault. The Society, under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Snow, holds its regular meetings on the last Thursday of the month. The Honor Banner given at the end of each marking period to the homerooms attaining the greatest improvement in scholarship and citizenship, and the gathering of scholarship information are projects which are being undertaken by Society members this year. pcgaiflng The Sailing Club , founded this year, is the first marine activity in the history of the school. Members are instructed in the fundamentals and fine points of sailing, seamanship, and navigation. Since we are located in the heart of the yachting section, this club has proved to be one of the most popular in the school. During the current season members are enjoying putting their theories into practice. 2 S E B 3 s 5 Q F E x x Y t I OFFICERS Sponsor Miss Snow Commodore David K. Patterson Viz?

Many experiments are performed and new methods discussed and carefully studied. The camera fiends have recorded interesting and amusing shots of school life that frequently surprise the students. The club project for this year is the formation of a photo-year book containing photographs made by the members of the club. Here the experimental and the aesthetic are combined with the abstract and theoretical. Students participating enjoy the satisfaction of thinking translated into action, developing their creative ability. uniofz from Under the efficient direction of Miss Mary Monson, the Iunior Red Cross has accomplished many worth while projects. In November its representatives collected a considerable sum as Iunior and Senior High home rooms responded to the Red Cross Call. The annual White Christmas was successfully carried out with many needy fam- ilies in this community receiving baskets of food. In addition, a supply of children's clothing was collected and distributed, and less fortunate pupils in the Kentucky Mountains were sent fiction and textbooks no longer needed in this school. As its concluding activity, the organiz- ation has' encouraged individual home room proiects: such as, making place cards, and collecting medicine bottles and magazines. m C7155 inet CIM The Fixit Club, a new organization under the leadership of Mr. Lidstrom, has for its main aim the repairing of property, both school and private, before it reaches a stage where a real expense would be involved if it had to be mended by an expert. The work is done in an entirely individual manner. As soon as a request for services is received, a member collects the ailing article, makes the repairs, and returns it promptly. The club, preserving school property and saving expense as it does, has proved a most valuable service organization. omsfiflon nas Under conditions made difficult by war the club has enlarged its friendships and strengthened its ties with countries where boys and girls are carrying on the routine of life in spite of the impending shadow of disaster. The fact that most of our pen pals write from England, Austria, Finland and China has been of deep significance The routine of meetings was varied in February by a Valentine Tea for faculty members and parents who were made acquainted with the interests of the club by a program of letter reading and talks by a member who had lived in Labrador and another who had visited lreland. An interesting exhibit of pictures and presents from our foreign friends was displayed. During the year two dolls dressed in current American modes have gone to Japan and Hawaii and in return we have received dolls. OFFICERS Pmvidrnt Angelo I.

CM3 French Club this year has undertaken as its goal a better knowledge of France and its customs. To accomplish this each person in the club undertook the supervising ot the program for one meeting. Among the programs were puppet plays presented by members of the club and movies and slides depicting French art and culture. One meeting was turned into a quiz contest with a professeur asking questions about French literature and geography. At the annual exhibit, the club pre sented folk songs and popular melodies. Through these varied pro- grams the interest ot the members was kept high during the year. 'zamafic The Footlights was awakened from its summer slumber to find as energetic and enthusiastic a group of young Thespians as ever trod the stage of Bellows High School. Under the capable direction of Miss Larmon and Mr. Corfield the two dramatic productions, The Nativity and The Terrible Meek , marked the Christmas and Easter seasons with special impressiveness. As the Drama Season opened on Broadway, members who were fortunate enough to attend Current successes brought the club inter- esting reports. Also quiz contests, plays, play readings, pantomime and discussions have composed programs that make the Footlights one ot the most interesting clubs in the school. U55 Alfudinf 05151051 The Student Observer is the official publicity organ of our school. Its function is to record the news, both serious and amusing, of school life for the edificatton of students, faculty, and all others interested in the school. Its preparation offers' excellent opportunities for those interested in newspaper work. The Student 0bserver is published once a month. Like another famous publication, it offers All The News That's Fit To Print . Presumptuous as this may sound to the casual ear, it is gratifying to note that the parents, formerly known to be vaguely concerned with matters educational, are now perusing school news with keen personal interest in what their children are doing. .fsafgazczaff In this organization the members, both boys and girls, work in an informal manner and learn the story of leather and the different stages it passes through from the time it leaves the animal until it is ready to be fashioned. A new product, catalin, was introduced this year. lts variety of brilliant colors and adaptibility made it a popular material and numerous articles were created with it. Besides these, bill folds, book bindings, cigarette cases, tobacco pouches, and other useful articles were pro- duced by the leathercraftsmen.

What are the most pop- ular flies? These and other piscatorial questions are answered by the members of the F1y Tying Club , who study the use and make the lures used in fresh water fishing. A love of fishing,which involves communion with nature, brings one closer to the beauty of the World he lives in. Thus this activity helps to develop a more complete individual. Qffancficzaff The needles fly every Monday afternoon as the Handicraft, or the Three B's club, which it is sometimes called, meets in Miss Staehle's room. The girls participate in such activities as knitting, crocheting, embroidering, weaving, and sewing. The main purpose of this group is to further interest in needle work and to produce articles which will be of some value to the maker. ociaf One of the new groups of the school, formed under the supervision of Miss Norton, is the Senior High Social Club. The purpose of this organization is to bring about a better social attitude among the high school students by acting as hosts and hostesses and by serving on different committees. Several afternoon dances have been successfully managed by the group. The General Organization of the school receives the proceeds derived from these affairs and in turn purchases records for the school. Due to the club's varied objectives, it has proved popular with the students and is likely to continue next year. I I Uzaffgc gums Fostered by the General Organization, the Traffic Guides was founded this year to cope with the existing corridor congestion. Its members have dealt with this problem heretofore left in the hands of the faculty. Among their duties fall regulation of traffic in the corridors and in the stairways during the passing of classes and supervision of the seating of students for special assemblies. All disciplinary matters are left to the jurisdiction of the body itself. So far the results of this method have been sastifactory. Fitting itself in a quietly efficient man- ner into our routine, the Traffic Guides has proved to be a credit to the General Organization.

Qainfing V Each Monday a large group of enthusiastic young artists meets with Miss Palmer to express themselves freely with brush and pencil. This year the members have made pencil drawings, water color pictures, fashion sketchings, cartoons in ink, murals and portrait painting in oils. The work is of special interest because each composi- tion is entirely original in idea and is executed without assistance. The Club has no officers and holds no business meetings but directs its attention entirely to the various advanced methods of painting and sketching. I gypuzg A splendid opportunity is offered to those students unable to ioin regular classes to learn how to typewrite by joining this club. Students of grades nine to twelve receive an adequate knowledge of typing which stands them in good stead in other studies and in later life. They develop keyboard manipulation, letter writing, tabulation, envelope addressing, manuscript writing, book reports, menu typing and other work of a personal nature. The typing club, composed of eighteen members, has no officers as parliamentary meetings are deemed unnecessary. .4.nx.,..sarfef1 - N N N 3 1 Page 34 S 2 I I I 4 I I I i 1 3, Sv Page 35 figrazy qua The Library Squad under the guidance of Miss Snow is a very useful group, not only in Bellows but also in the Barry Avenue School. The students chosen to work in the library must have a satisfactory scholastic average at the time of their appointment and maintain this throughout the remaining years of high school. Each member has two periods a week except seniors who have only one in which to con- tribute their help. Among the many tasks are: writing of notices for over-due books, desk duty, stamping, pasting, shellacking of new books, and the care of the shelves. Since the students ot the Barry Avenue School are too young to care for their own library books, the Bellows squad members took over this responsibility. Besides assisting Miss Snow in her work, the students acquire experience which may prove valuable in the future. elif 5401621 Howard Barker, Shirley Carpenter, Michael Lorys, Arthur Frampton, Wilbur Garvin, Virginia Guthrie, Peggy I-lessler, Michael Forte, Vincenza Nicolais, and Ann Tunno, all members of the Senior Class, were presented Merit Award Sweaters at the annual Merit Award Assembly on February 15. Mr. Herbert Lidstrom, Chairman of the Merit Award Committee, made the presentations and congratulated these students upon having earned from thirteen to eighteen points by participation in extra-curricular school activities and maintaining satisfactory schol- arship. No more than tive points were accepted in any one field.

As in former years, the Glee Club has maintained its good reputa- tion by presenting extremely well balanced programs. During the Christmas season the singers assisted the Dramatic Club in creating an effective performance. ln May, the Glee Club took part in the Spring Music Festival, an annual event that has proved popular with the public. This concert was one of the most pleasurable of the year's events. map B005 The Bellows Scrap Book Club, organized by Mr. Zimmerman, brings together boys interested in collecting and exhibiting pictures as' well as acquiring information concerning athletic sports and hobbies. The requirement for joining is that each member shall prepare an individual scrap book. At each meeting, after a period of exchanging and Com- paring pictures, a member of the club presents an illustrated talk concerning his own specific hobby. This organization informs its members, not only on the sport and its rules, but the life and thrills that the participant enjoys.

Bellows started the season under the guidance of Coach Axtell. Later in the season Coach Ockershausen took over the football program. The schedule is as follows: Sept. 29-Bellows football team opened the season traveling to East- chester, where it lost a closely fought game, 6-0. Oct. 6-Trying to make up for the first defeat, the squad took a trip to Mt. Kisco and came through with a 0-0 tie. Oct. 13--Now playing for Coach Ockershausen, Bellows played the underrated Scarsdale team and was defeated, 9-0. Oct. 21-After its surprising setback, the Blue and Black went to Elms- ford to play Alexander Hamilton, only to suffer another de- feat, 14-0 Oct. 28-Bellows played host to Rye, its old rival. Although defeated badly, we made our first score, 25-6. Nov. 3-Playing the highly publicized New York School for the Deaf, the Panthers came through with a well eamed tie, 6-6. Nov. ll-Bellows, undaunted by its previous record, played its other traditional game with Harrison on Armistice Day. Putting up its best fight of the season, the Blue and Black outplayed Harrison for the first half of the game, only to succumb to the Crimson's much heavier team, 12-0. The scoring record of the team is low, but Bellows High School is proud of her boys. The Panthers have that fighting spirit. When they play football, it's for every minute of the game. Always showing good sportsmanship, our boys are playing for their alma mater and for the sport they all love. Louis Pecorara was elected Honorary Captain for this season. Lettermen: L.E., R.

Baiktgaff-1939-40 The Basketball team proved to be one of the most outstanding in the history of the school, winning twelve games and losing four, This achievement was due to the fine team work of the boys and the coach- ing of William A. Axtell. The Varsity Five , composed of Robert Garvin, Wilbur Garvin, Bernard King, Angelo Nask, and Alfred Tallevi, averaged more points per game than any preceding basketball team in the school and captured the Little Three Championship for the third consecutive year in convincing fashion by twice defeating both Har- rison and Rye. Individual point scoring for the Varsity was as follows: Robert Garvin, 120: Wilbur Garvin, 95: Angelo Nask, 74: Bernard King, 62: Arthur Frampton, 54: Alfred Tallevi, 41: Harold Shock, 14: Thomas Forte, 12: William Reardon, 4: Edward Bascome, 3, and Iames Gowan, 1.

This year's Hockey team was the most successful since that sport was added to the atheltic curriculum at Bellows two years ago. The pucksters were able to subdue all teams in the Westchester Interscholastic Hockey League but the winners, Roosevelt. They even tied Roosevelt for the first contest, but losing the deciding game, had to be satisfied with second place in the final standing. Those on the first team receiving letters are: Captain W.

With only a few men missing from last year's squad, and a host of new- comers to choose from, Coach has had little trouble in preparing a good strong team. Bellows has always been blessed with fellows who are able to pick them up and lay them down . The fieldmen, also, with a little more practice, will be earning their quota of points.

Its purpose is to aid in the management of all departments of athletics, to regulate the traffic in the halls at dismissal time, and to assist at all school functions, social or otherwise. The membership is limited to twenty boys, all of whom must be in the senior high. One remains a member of this club from the time he enters until graduating, a situation which makes this a standing organ- ization.

They were organized with Margaret Horniclge as manager and Eleanor King as assistant manager. Practice meets were held every Monday on our play- ground. After many practices the girls felt they were experienced enough to undertake a game with Mamaroneck High School. Since Mamaroneck is our closest rival, much excitement was aroused, but the real purpose of the contest was to promote truer sportsmanship between the two schools. The day of the match arrived but inclement weather made it impossible. Games and relays were played instead in our gym, and a real bond of friendship was established between the girls of the rival schools. gifzfi I Baigsfgaff Soon after Thanksgiving senior basketball got under way with Shirley Carpenter as senior manager and Ethel Rober and Marjorie Westcott as junior managers. The girls met every Friday afternoon for practice until after mid-years. A suddendeath tournament was then held. Captains and teams were chosen and the tournament began with a great deal of enthusiasm. Scores in this hotly contested battle were very close. At the end of the battle Rose Nask's team was the victor. The tournament created much excitement and interest among the students and faculty.
