The girls' soccer, badminton, and hockey sea- sons had reached their terminations. Elsie Linser's soccer squad was the winner in that activity, while Julie Emerson's team was the victor in the hockey competition. Marie Lang and Sally Fisher tied for honors in badminton. Two new ac- tivities. hiking and bicycling, were acceptable for athletic par- ticipation points this season, and both had gained many fol- lowers. However, our time was not entirely filled with thoughtless frolicking, although our teachers and parents may have gained that impression. We devoted much of our attention to chari- table activities and defense measures. The Red Cross Council was active with Carla McBride as its chairman. Most of the advisories achieved one hundred percent membership in the Red Cross, with Dodds' advisory again in first place. The Council's first activities were the assembling of Christmas toy boxes for children in England, and the preparation of Christmas cards for Bronxville graduates in active service with the armed forces. The Community Welfare Fund Drive had also been organ- ized, and it started its annual campaign early in November. Response was considerably greater than usual in this first wartime drive, and the committee, headed by Becky Barnes, welcomed the enthusiastic pledges which the Welfare Fund received in the school. In addition to these organizations, the National Scrap Coun- cil was functioning in the High School under the direction of Ned Conway. Although the Council worked out carefully a plan of action for every member of the student body, their well laid plars failed in so far as some of the students were concerned. The fact that the call for scrap metals met with a half hearted response from the school as a whole is one of the black marks of the year, and it can be rectified only in part by the wholeheartedness displayed in other worthy causes undertaken by the school. Meanwhile the sale of war stamps had been inaugurated in the Senior High School. Although the Junior High had started selling stamps last year, it was not until the enterprising ninth graders entered the Sophomore class that the practice was adopted in the upper grades. Under the leadership of Pat Henline. the stamp sales held every noon in the halls were put on an advisory basis with Miss Litchfield's advisory captur- ing first place in the initial stamp sale drive. But we were not neglecting defense measures for safety in our earnest participation in patriotic activities. The first months of school saw several fire drills and air raid alerts as well as a heme run. Even while realizing the seriousness of the drills, we made the most of them-particularly the hall- huddles . But. momertarily, our thoughts were turned from the war to politics, for the long awaited November elections were ap- All around the mulberry bush .
