'i eg L' -301- As another illustrious chapter in the annals of Room 3301 is written for posterity, we Hmeilleurs garcons look back on a year of outstanding accomplishments and hum- orous memories. We could hardly have enjoyed a more rewarding study of English than we had under the direction of Mr. Conway. And, oh, what eloquence sprang forth from Sean Barry- more, the Mad Dane of 2301! The majority of our Latin scholars received invalu- able help toward the College Boords from Uhorrornym happy IIoppy. And besides translation that goes along pretty easy, huh 7 we learned scansion, as presented by Mr. Hopkinson and revised by Okie's boys - There's a caesura in the third footlll' We know that in Room 208 we experienced a kind of triple revolution in Finding the significant results, but one question remains:-Was Mr. Pearson being naive in gleefully expecting us to buy Mr. Beard's book 'I l Mr. Higgins found that Melnick's trouble was think- ing in English. He also had a ha1'd time convincing us that twenty ergs do not equal a glug. Perhaps he was right: this physics business is all a matter of senamix. That some day he will get a class that is all caught up is the wish left to Mr. Van Steenbergen by Die Deut- sche Knabenn of 301. Because the school year started late 4Septeniber 5l we finished a book or two behind, in spite of all the Ushpeed readers. Quel dommage! dit un meilleur garcon. To Mr. Levine, our beloved homeroom and French teacher, we leave our sincere thanks, and the hope that he will find the boy. After all, we should like to know: Why did the boy do it? DAVID R.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE 1958 Developments within the past year have heralded a new era in the progress of our civilization. The course of Sputnik I proclaimed to the world the beginning of the space age. The die has been cast--the challenge has been made. No longer will Man be content to remain on his own planet. Control of the farthest reaches of space will be his goal. Our nation, since its glorious birth, has been beset by an endless line of problems and challenges-this is by far the great- est. At present, the forces of tyranny seem to have the upper hand. But we must not despair. Cruelty and injustice have always only seemed to prevail. Always, however, it is our duty to have faith in our ideals and objectives. Our forefathers knew that a country founded on the great ideals of brotherhood and peace would be forced to suffer many defeats and humiliations in the name of freedom. Yet they did not cowerg they did not fear. On the contrary, they went forth with renewed vigor. Upon the collective shoulders of our generation has been placed the burden ot' saving our nation and its freedom. We must not think of it as a burden. Rather, we should treat it as a won- derful opportunity to further the cause of democracy. In meet- ing the scientific challenge of the space age, we should first re-examine our own ideals and beliefs. The road will be long and narrow. Only by keeping our eyes on freedom's light will we be able to succeed in our task. Nowhere have the ideals of brotherhood been more firmly cherished and fostered than within the walls of our Alma Mater. Daily, we have walked the corridors together, with no thought at all to race or creed. Everyone of us has been accepted for his worth and dignity as an individual, not as a member of a group. As our forefathers succeeded in solving their problems, so will we. However, we must take advantage of every ability we possess. Above all, we must not forget the lessons we have been taught at B.l,.S.-loyalty, intellectual curiosity and persever- ance are qualities which have been firmly embedded in us. We must not lose them, if we are to succeed in the tremendous task before us. FRANCIS MANCINI Q 1 -'Q' 3 we Q-M -- -e -ff we I' in 3
