S. had seen for a long time. A debt of gratitude should go to all those who gave their time, energy, and sleep to put it on. Our group has suffered a noticeable loss, several of our prize members having taken leave of us to go on to bigger and better prospects. Matt Meek and Chad Hansen left us for Yale, while Charlie Parton and Lindsey Grant took the path to the West, going to Kenyon and Deep Springs respectively. Several others of our illustrious group are planning to leave, such as Pete Fitzpatrick who enters the Army Air Corps. If many more go, it looks as if the girls might have graduation to themselves. We had a change of class officers in mid-February owing to the absence of Vice-president Parton, Treasurer Kellogg, and the prospective induction of Fitz . The new officials includ- ed PreXy Lowrey, Bashful Bowers, and Money-man MacArthur. Round about March first, the results of our annual Band Poll came in and Harry James found himself atop the pile, while Dorsey and Miller ran second and third. According to custom, several members of the Mirror staff went down to Alan Courtney's WOV Cfor Victoryj and enlightened the world on our discoveries. We had an Assembly in which we played the best records of the winners, and most of us were agreeably surprised at the choice of records, and at Frank Sinatra's high soprano! After the strain of the last goal period, we began to realize that spring was here, and with it another excuse for not do- ing our homework. We thought that we could just last out until the spring vacation-that scanty respite given to us to recover from our spring-fever. In the back of the minds of some of us there lurked the gloomy shadow of the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement tests on April 10th but we put on false smiles and tried to bear our trouble. The spring sports were slightly varied from the good old days when we used to go out and catch a few flies, or practice a few back-hands, and then call it a day. No, there was no baseball or tennis this year, but, in their places, a Lynch- Matthaei thought-up commando course! No more two easy gym periods a week, but, rather five required periods, three of which had to be done after school. We griped plenty at first, but after a few weeks we were making the monkeys look silly climbing ropes and jumping off cliffs. The obstacle course which was built along side the gridiron brought to some of us the grim realization of how clumsy we actually were, but even the weightiest of us get over that wall now. The track team was continued as usual, and in spite of the enticements that the commando course held, Mr. Lynch had an extraordinarily large turn out. Eastman, Mabry, Morley, Trapp this third year on the varsityj, Kent, and Nowak were again out there pounding their feet off for Bronxville's glory. Although track was a substitute for the military condition- You can lead a horse to water . . . 'tFrom the tables down at Mory's . . Junior rockettes Get that kick!
