Athletic Board Annr Shepard, President Bunny Millikin Dubby Rugg Sally Wood Cynthia Nicholas Patty Thayer Kay Andres Dubby Knights Joan Schermbrhorn Mary Caskey Sally Biscoe This year brought several new additions to the Athletic Department and the Athletic Board. First and foremost, an entirely new staff of teachers came upon the scene. With them they brought many new ideas which, during the course of the year, have proved exciting and worthwhile. Our second annual hockey game with Dana Hall was planned for three different Friday afternoons, and on each Friday we came to school in the rain. The game was finally postponed until next year. However, our spirits were not down for long, because we all of a sudden found we were playing hockey and being hostess to the Boston Umpiring Conference. We won’t forget that Saturday for a long time, with fourteen prep schools in the morning and eight colleges in the afternoon; we certainly absorbed a great deal of hockey that day. Beaver played Newton High School, Brookline High School, and Dana Hall. Newton High beat us i-0, we tied Brookline High 1-1, and we tied Dana 0-0. In the afternoon Miss Burke showed us how it’s done by playing with the All Boston team. In the basketball season we have a game with Dana Hall planned and a game with the alumnae. We look forward to these, knowing the rain can not disturb us this time. Our modern dance group will attend a conference at the Windsor School. The Athletic Board as usual is helping to promote experience and good sportsmanship throughout the school. One added way of promoting this is through the Blue and Brown teams. This year we arc awarding points to the team winning the hockey game, the basketball game, and so on. The tennis groups and even the lower school help their team. [58]

Mbacham, Fernandez, Weed, Baker B., Howes, Harris, Absent: Briggs The Log Board, this year, prides itself on being an especially active organization. Not only have we published three issues of The log—with improvements, but we have given a square dance for raising funds, established the Poetry Group, and sponsored a prose contest. We have also enlarged our list of exchanges and placed these very interesting periodicals on a table in the Library for all to read. As for The Log itself, we feel that we have succeeded in making it more representative of the whole school. We have solicited and received material from both faculty and lower school. The Junior High Department has been expanded and given a more important place in The Log. We have taken greater interest in the world around us, both inside and outside school, expanding and School Notes and the Editorial Department. In our second issue, we were very pleased to have editorials by Eugene Smith and Joan Rosen. We have also succeeded in spacing The Logs more evenly over the year, so that the first issue docs not arrive in December and the last two in April and May respectively. The release of the first issue was celebrated by an Assembly in which the members of the Log Board held an unrehearsed Log Board meeting and read selections from the new Log. This program was very well liked, and we hope to be able to have more assemblies in the future. All in all, this year's Log Board has, we hope accomplished a good deal and has certainly had a great deal of fun. [57]
