So here we go, back over fhe mem- ories. We enfered Evander in Sepfember I949, 862 sfrong. We were wide-eyed, confused, and full of quesfions. The firsf few weeks were hecfic wifh fheir sfrains and froubles, buf we soon learned fhe ways and means of sur- vival in Evander. Thaf firsf ferm was marked wifh a greaf deal of acfivify. The P. A. had fhe cafeferia sound-proofed and obfained badly needed shop equipmenf. We gave generously fo fhe clofhing drive for needy children abroad, and our March of Toys filled fhe hearfs of hospifalized children wifh gayefy. Open School Nighf came, and we fhrilled in delighf as our parenfs visifed our newly acquired second home. The Arisfa and fhe World Affairs Club visifed fhe U. N. as one body. The News sponsored fhe Charming Child Con+es+, and fhe idenfifies of fhe feachers' baby picfures were soon discovered. Poor sfudenf parficipafion in fhe backing of school acfivifies was revealed when fhe G. O. reporf for fhe previous ferm showed a deep deficif. Thaf ferm, fhe New York Sfafe sur- plus apples were freely disfribufed, and for fhe days following all we afe was apples, apple sauce, apple pie, and delicious chopped apples. We vofecl Virginia Carlone in as our firsf ferm Rep. Tiger monfh was highlighled by Sfairway fo Heaven. The G. O. spon- sored a roller-skafing parfy af Mounf Vernon skafing rink. Our swimmers carried on fhe Evander fradifion of vicfory by winning fheir fourfh consecufive P.S.A.L. crown and Cify Championship. The ferm ended wifh fhe ancienl' proverb You never miss 'rhe wafer fill fhe well runs dry imprinfed in fhe minds of all New Yorkers. We proudly received fhe fifle of Educa+ed Freshmen in fhe spring of l950. The full im- pacf of fhe wafer shorfage was fhen being felf. A glass of wafer was a cherished freasure in fhose dus+ bowl days. The pools were closed, buf nof unfil our swimming feam en- fered a so-called Swimmers' Hall of Fame by exfending fheir swimming sfreak fo fiffy consecufive meefs and being pronounced 'the Nafional Champs. Wowl Virginia Carlone was again elecfed fo represenf us in fhe G. O. A+ fhe Columbia Scholasfic Press Associafion, fhe News received a firsf place rafing, fhe Bridge a medalisf award, and fhe Oriole a second place. Our second ferm was also memorable for fhe dispufe over feachers' salaries and fhe ban on exfra-curricular acfivifies. We profesfed violenfly. Hordes of riofing sfudenfs marched on fhe schools, urging ofhers fo ioin fhem, and fhen fhe forces sformed fhe Cify Hall. Any- fhing for a day offl Riofs and absenfeeism slowly fapered off, unfil franquillify was again esfablished. Affer-school acfivifies were now a parf of fhe pasf, and fhe Varsify Play, Pirafes of Penzance, had fo be given dur- ing school hours. The ferm ended wifh fension on bofh sides. We refurned home for fhe summer vacafion, glad fhaf we had survived our firsf long year af Evander.
