Vol. XLVII MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1953
C01'HCi1N0feS OFFICERS ELECTED
GORDOIN T. SCHOFIELD
Gordon T. Schofield came to the
Saint Paul Academy in 1952, and
took over the History classes for
the fifth and sixth forms. Many
masters have come to the Academy,
but few have been so well liked as
Mr. Schofield. His topics of dis-
cussion and his quick wit are en-
joyed by all, and especially by his
history students. He has the ability
to give his students an excellent
background in history and yet
make it the student's favorite
class.
Mr. Schofield has an excellent
scholastic background. He attend-
Gordon Schofield
ed Williams College and obtained
his Bachelor of Arts degree in
1948. He went to officers' training
school at Holy Cross and obtained
a Bachelor of Naval Science degree
there. For three .years, he taught
at Trinity - Pawling School in New
York and then went to summer
school at Harvard where he did
graduate work in history. He went
to Boston University for the year'
'51-'52 and received his Master of
Arts degree.
Immediately upon his arrival at
the Academy Mr. Schofield was put
in charge of the Junior Varsity
football squad. He coached his
team through a fine season of five
wins and two losses, and at the

I. Plans for the United Appeal
continued to hold a prominent place
in discussions as the final goal was
set and the drive was launched by
President Driscoll. Amounts are
to be set aside for the particular
charities later. Also, in this field,
the Red Cross made an appeal for
gift boxes to be sent to peoples in
need. It was suggested that this
be a lower form project, handled
perhaps by the class officers.
II. The Football Dance was dis-
cussed among proposals that the
surplus money, if existing, might
go to the meager Student Council
fund. The dance, to be held shortly
after the Blake game, is to be en-
larged if possible.
III. On Nov. 5, 6, and 7 the
council is sending two to four dele-
gates to the Minnesota Student
Council convention at St. Louis
Park. The convention's purpose is
to discuss the functions of student
councils.
IV. The Now and Then staff
proudly explained their plans for
replacing the SPAR by binding the
Now and Thens. All were impress-
ed by a sample of what this publi-
cation will look like when finished.
Besides being economic, the idea is
a step forward in the attempt to
record the school year.
V. Lastly, it was proposed that
the council might supervise the job
of cheerleading.
Experiences of a
Bakery Salesman
By George Anderegg
It was Monday, September 21,
10:28 A.M. The chief called me
into his office, confessed he was
running a goodies ring: bismarcks,
rolls, doughnuts. My job: sell 'em.
10:29 A.M. I was standing in
the basement hall. I had my back
to the wall, a stout table in front
of me. I was ready for the at-
tack.
10:30 A. M. They came. A crazy,
screaming, mob of creatures of all
shapes and sizes. They poured
down the staircases, oozed out
under doors. They were every-
where. They kept shouting moronic
questions like the price of dough-
nuts. You couldn't blame them,
though. They just wanted to get
the facts.
10:35 A.M. I had been pushing

elections were held for officers of
each form. Every year a Presi-
dent, Vice-President, Secretary,
and Treasurer of each form are
elected. These officers hold an im-
portant part in the school and class
activities. It is the President's job
to run the class properly during
each class meeting. The oflicers
have the responsibility of collect-
ing money from their classes for
the different charities. It is the
job of the officers to see that their
class is a well-united body. Printed
here is a list of the class officers in
order of President, Vice-President,
and Secretary-Treasurer:
Third Formers
Receive Tests
By Len Johnson
Recently, our freshmen have
undergone tests of various sorts,
sponsored by the University of
Minnesota. These tests have been
given statewide, and cover a large
field of subjectsg they include co-
operative math, English, social
studies, science, and a psychologi-
cal test.
The aptitude test is made up of
a battery of shorter tests which
were drawn up to test the student's
judgment and, reasoning. These
tests include space relations, lan-
guage usage, abstract reasoning,
numerical ability, clerical speed and
accuracy, and mechanical reason-
ing. All these tests are placed
under the heading of differential
aptitude tests.
The general purposes of these
tests are summarized in a manual
describing these tests.
1. To provide the student with
the knowledge of the type of
studies for which 'he is best suited.
2. To provide information about
the student to high school and col-
lege counselors, teachers, and ad-
ministrators.
3. To assist high schools and
colleges to identify early in their
academic careers students who have
talent for college and whose needs
can be satisfied by various colleges.

Students Attend
Survival Meeting
By Don Bacon
On Thursday, September 24th, a
group of Academy Seniors and
Juniors, accompanied by Mr. Read
and Mr. Schofield, attended the
Highland Survival Meeting at the
Highland Theater. The purpose of
this meeting was to show people
what can happen during an atomic
attack and what to do in the event
of one.
The meeting was opened by
Major Rick Driscoll leading the
assembly in the Pledge of Allegi-
ance. Movies were shown depict-
ing situations one might encounter
during an actual bomb attack, after
which Dr. Hanns Schwyzer, author-
ity on medical care and radiation,
spoke to the assembly and answer-
ed questions.
