work, and if we didn't have some activity as an excuse, many of us managed to do very little thinking about school work anyway, as our goalbooks had proved. Yes, our goalbooks left us Cand our parentsj in a state of unhappy amazement. How, we wondered, could our teachers possibly have placed such a low evaluation on our achieve- ments? Were not our long struggles deserving of more than this? Receiving only negative answers, we meekly returned the goalbooks, and resolved to work more zealously than ever before during the next seven weeks. However, on the first day of the new goal period, we scat- tered our high resolutions to the winds, and, with homework unfinished, we tripped merrily away to the second Forum. In the nature of a political rally, the Forum presented several candidates for the coming elections. There were many stump speeches, and the fervor of the speakers, as well as the impor- tance of the coming elections, excited even the non-voting Sen- iors. This enthusiasm was somewhat dimmed the next morning when we were informed that the Nelson-Denny and the Amer- ican Council tests would occupy the better part of the next two mornings. Naturally, we were delighted with the thought of missing our morning classes, but we also cherished a small fear that through the tests the extent of our ignorance might be discovered. So, with deep concentration we began to work, the frenzied scratching of heads and pencils being the only distracting sounds in the unaccustomed silence of the Senior High School. In the afternoon we forgot the strain of the morning, and got together in the auditorium for another Senior Sing. With the help of Mr. Pirnie and Mr. Cutchings, we sang war songs and popular music until at the end of the period we went to our classes still humming. Our victory over Saunders Trade on the following Saturday was gratifying after the unexpected defeat the preceding week. Big Ed Michalski's two touchdowns in the second half made the score 14-0 while Bronxville rooters cheered. The soccer team suffered its first defeat the same day with a score of 4-2 in favor of the opposing Fieldston team. The next week was happily spent in preparing for Hallowe'en festivities. Much thought and attention, formerly put to better use, was suddenly concentrated on what to wear to the annual Hallowe'en Party. The results were almost too much for some of us, but we heartily concurred with the judges' awards of costume prizes to Shower Theissen and Girl Scout Fitzpatrick. The music, decorations, and refreshments were a credit to the Sophies and the Juniors. However satisfactory the Hallowe'en Party proved to be, the football game which preceded it was a disappointment to Bronxville. The team played an excellent offensive game, but was unable to stop the Fordham Prep team which was the vic- tor in a 14-O score. The pigskin defeat was somewhat offset by a 2-1 soccer victory over Horace Mann the following Wed- nesday. Rip 'em up, tear 'em up Lots of boxes Mutt 'n' Jeff Speech, speech Dancing in the Darkw i .
