5 Q fa! - 'J at Page twenty After enjoying a brief turn as Thespians, we again turned to sports, namely football, and the Bronxville rooters were greatly encouraged by a 26-7 victory over Albert Leonard High School. Seniors Toughguy Leavitt and Gallopin ' Gumb scored two of the four touchdowns, while Bill Whelan made both extra points for the team. Altogether, the game was highly satisfactory, and, because of it, Bronxville was optimis- tic in regard to the coming game with Scarsdale. Shortly after the Albert Leonard game, Bronxville gained another sporting victory when John Nowak, a sophomore, cap- tured first place in the two-and-a-half mile run at Gorton. Senior Kendall King was the only other Bronxvillian to place high. He took fourth place in the match. The football season was approaching its end, and the Chess Club and Rifle Club were coming into their own. The Chess Club, which lost many of its members by last yearls gradu- ation, busily recruited new members during the latter part of the fall, and gathered in such noteworthies as Vera Raymond, Clifford Drake, and Kendall King. Meanwhile, the Rifle Club was preparing for its entrance into the extracurricular activi- ties as a defense measure. However, extracurricular activities were not the only things that interested us, and we listened attentively-particularly the future congressmen among us-when Senator Pliny Will- iamson spoke to us in assembly on the workings of the govern- ment at Albany. He impressed upon us the importance of our responsibilities in the post-war government, and left us feeling most inspired. With a desire for knowledge which Miss Penney has several times tried to instill in us, the majority of the Seniors attend- ed the fourth and most successful Forum of the year. Mr. Taubeneck had obtained four prominent citizens of the village, namely William L. Shirer, Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, Leland Rex Robinson, and James G. MacDonald, for a discussion of plans for a democratic peace after the war. Although the Forum was so well attended that many Seniors were turned away, those of us who heard the speakers came away with our minds stimulated and better informed. But our thirst for education became somewhat dimmed with- in the next few days, for the annual Bronxville-Scarsdale game was fast approaching. The first mark of the coming event was the Pep Rally held the night before the game. The rally drew a great many enthusiastic rooters who, in spite of the blackout which interrupted the proceeding for half an hour, cheered and sang enthusiastically. The next day found the usually earnest students very much excited in their eagerness for the fateful game to begin. How- ever, it did not come up to our aspirations in spite of the ex- cellent efforts of the Bronxville team. But although we were not the victors in the game, our hos- pitality at the dance that evening could have found no equal. The party chairman, Robbie Rosse, outdid himself, and Ann- jette Grant's maroon and blue decorations in honor of the Ready for anything Come on Bronxville, let's go' Champions Leg man Huddle Wait 'till you get it up in the air, boys
