G52 sfilq M -M ll-ficzff W 4 THE . . . HE carefree days of summer end- ed all too soon, and, golden tans beginning to fade, we of the Class of '44 entered the gym for our last reg- istration day. Feeling superior to the baffled sophomores but nevertheless having to go through the same age-old ritual of filling out pink slips, getting textbooks, and signing up for lockers, we embarked upon the last stage of our years of fun and education in the halls of BHS. We recognized old friends, noticed that last yearfs ninth grade had blossomed into a very sophisticated sophomore class Ca fact which clouded the bright faces of the Senior girls for a momentj and made the acquaintance of new classmates and teachers. Miss Wangler, we learned, had joined us in order to disclose the mysteries of shorthand and typing. Mr. Hong, who had visited us several times the previous year, had come to stay with the job of acquainting BHS students with his pa- tria, China, by means of a lecture course on the subject. Mr. Perdew, who had been absent the past year for a visit to Washington, had returned to take up his post as teacher of history and news- writing and faculty adviser to the Mirror. It didn't take long for us to become accustomed again to the familiar rou- tine. The football and soccer teams got under way, and Miss Tyler began round- ing up her soccer and badminton-play- ing females. We said farewell to sum- mer with an assembly in which stu- dents told of their vacation experiences, and turned our faces toward the school year with the opening of the G. A. drive Page six YEAH IN PIETHIISPEUT under the efficient direction of Ned Con- way. Miss Greene's advisory was the first to achieve 100 percent membership and received the much coveted G. A. banner. With care and deliberation we select- ed our Student Council representatives, who met for the first time under the new president, George Davis. They chose Shirley McKay as secretary, and re- ceived a report from the head of the social committee, Jim Ashbrook. The social committee was better or- ganized than ever before, with repre- sentatives from the faculty, the P. T. A., the Board of Education, and the Wo- men's club working with student dele- gates. The committee recognized the heartbreaking fact that the girls out- numbered the boys even more than in previous years, and its goal was to give everyone, the surplus female population included, an adequate and enjoyable so- cial program. So instead of the usual welcome dance, separate class parties were planned, beginning with the Sen- iors' traditional Class Sing. We all gathered on the lawn of Don Bliss' home to produce some mass singing of popu- lar and college songs. Several groups of solid senders gave renditions of old and new tunes, and cider and doughnuts were served to all. Next arose the problem of choosing our class officers.

Ted Johnson was elected to this office, Anne Remington came through as our vice-president, Gates Reid as sec- retary, and Sylvia Henderson as treas- urer. The Senior Executive Council was completed with Jim Ashbrook and Frances Ferris of Mrs. Mason's advis- ory, Tom Middleton and Ramona Dom of Mr. Dodds' advisory, and George Davis of Mr. Moore's advisory. Late in September this august group put their heads together and came up to an- nounce their long-awaited decision: Ted Taubeneck was to be editor of this great volume, our yearbook. Tom Middleton received the post of business manager, and Jane Ridges was chosen literary editor. Ramona Dom was awarded the job of art editor. CDid a good job, didn't they ?J The announcement of these appoint- ments, along with news of numerous other school groups which had already begun their activities, appeared in the first issue of the Mirror, evidence that the school year was now well under way. After absorbing those morale-building columns of Reflections, and Cactus , we took in the rest of the paper under cover of notebooks, textbooks, and desks, while weary teachers begged us for the 100th time to give our attention to them for just a few minutes. We all agree that our editor, Gates Reid, with his hard-working assistants, did a bang-up job on the paper throughout the year. Early in October we all assembled in the big gym for the pep rally, tradition- ally preceding the first football game. The cheerleaders, sporting their new sweaters and headed by Shirley Manzer, honorary captain for the day, led us all in shouting until we were hoarse. Aid- ing Shirley were Anne Remington, cap- tain, Shirley McKay, Connie Meloy, Larry Mortlock, Ted Taubeneck, and re- presentatives from the junior and sopho- more classes. The various members of the football team then took their bows, and after a few more lusty cheers we formed a snake line which wove through Bronxville and ended, for the most part, at our foster home, Bellisl V V V PICTURES .

Our cheering brought us good luck, for the following day our team triumph- ed over Gorton in a game held at Gor- ton High. It was a close match all the way, but our boys took advantage of their opportunities and emerged victo- rious. We'll never forget Dick Trappts interception and eighty yard run for the first touchdown. The final score was 12-6. We Seniors were informed that we could now attend the forums held on Monday nights and conducted by our own Taubie. So the night of the first forum we turned out en masse to hear his views on War, Politics, and Peace . He urged those of voting age to cast their ballots in the coming election, and deplored the voters' past laxness. We all left the auditorium very much im- pressed with the entire spirit of the for- um and looked forward to the next one. On October 6 we had a surprise--a soccer contest with the Dutch! It had been discovered that a group of Dutch merchant seamen were stationed at the Gramatan Hotel, and learning that soc- cer was one of their primary national sports, we invited them here to play against our team. There was a good turnout for the game-many soccer en- thusiasts observed the very commend- able skill of our opponents, but rumors have it that all of those Senior girls who attended seemed more occupied with the Dutch players than with the game. fUn- confirmed rumors, however.J Mr. Tau- beneck held a conference with the cheer- leaders, and a few minutes later we heard cheers in Dutch! Our team was de- feated, but everybody enjoyed the game. A ,Lf- W 1 'xr K X M 0a L i ' xy f' . 'J - Page nine The following Thursday our cross- country squad defeated Manhattan Prep by a score of 30-25. Johnny Nowak took first place for Bronxville in the near-record time of twelve minutes, thirty-five seconds. Other Broncos placed second and fifth, concluding an impressive victory as this was the first cross-country team in Bronxville's ath- letic history. In assembly a group of the Dutch sea- men appeared on the stage and told us of their experiences at sea and in for- eign lands, and even tried to teach us some of their language. On Saturday we played our first home game against Blessed Sacrament. And what a game! The final score was 59-0, and we fans sat on the stands with mouths agape, watching our boys score nine touchdowns and break all previous scoring records. About this time the Community War Fund drive got under way, headed by Bill Coldwell. Representatives were chos- en from the advisories, and throughout the year hammered at us regularly for the promised cash. The next football game was still an- other triumph for Bronxville. We broke our own record of the previous week and rolled up a score of 67 to Hastings' 0. Ten whole touchdowns! An almost constant wail from our Senior femmes resulted in a dateless dance dreamed up by our hard-working social committee. Senior girls and both Junior and Senior boys were invited, in an attempt to equalize the majority of the girls over boys. All those who at- a. '13, 6' f .

Our first goal period ended on a happy social note, though we shall omit all mention of our scholastic achievements-most of us would rather forget. The first day of the second goal per- iod brought us back to school, beaten into submission by ire-filled parents whose opinions of us had unfortunately been somewhat higher than those as- sessed us by our pedagogues. All of us solemnly resolved that we would take the necessary precautions to avoid a similar circumstance six weeks later. We kept the resolution about five days. Our next assembly program was an interesting one with Mrs. Annalee Ja- coby, wife of the late Melville Jacoby, widely known photographer and corre- spondent, speaking of her experiences in the Far East and of problems origin- ating there. A group of students, stim- ulated by her talk, met in Mr. Tauben- eck's room to form an East-West Club. Bud Budinger of the Sophomore Class was elected president, and Barbara Fri of our class was chosen secretary. The club met every Wednesday noon throughout the year with Mr. Tauben- eck and Mr. Hong to thrash out the problems they had encountered having to do with the relations of the East and West. The night after their first meet- Mr. Taubeneck's forum was devoted to the discussion of home issues. The re- ception we must prepare for a mentally and physically changed group of men coming home from war, inflation, and the practice of tolerance at home were all explained and made clearer to an in- terested audience. Another victory was chalked up for our roarin' Broncs on Saturday when they vanquished Albert Leonard High to the tune of 27-13 Cthese victories got almost monotonous!J That formidable trio, Michalski, Miller, and Trapp, click- ed again to complete our fourth grid victory. A great week in the field of sports was rounded out when the soccer team scored a 3-1 triumph over a Field- ston squad. Hallowe'en saw strange creatures Y V V PICTURES . Ah, MEN!!! .

Strange indeed were the var- ious costumes, ranging from boys deck- ed out in skirts and sweaters or formal evening dresses, to cowgirls complete with jeans and 10-gallon hats. Dances to the beat of a real live band, led by Johnny Marshall, were interspersed with hilarious solo performances-everything from songs to a parody on the horrors of push-button radios. Gates Reid acted as the sophisticated master of ceremon- ies. During the next week, serious affairs of student management came to the fore with the selection of John Main of the Juniors as head of next year's G. A. We all wished him good luck in continuing the swell work done by Ned Conway this year. Other serious events filled our minds throughout the week. Under the slogan Keep the scrap coming to help keep our boys going , Don Bliss launch- ed the Red Cross Scrap Drive, and soon the halls were filled with printed liter- ature of all types Cfrom Atlantic Monthly to True Confessionnl plus tin cans and other fascinating items. As a result of a rather confused home-run, a new set of even more complicated fif that's possiblej Air Raid rules were an-- nounced, and we mastered them in short order. A surprising number of high school students possess great potentialities in the entertainment field, as was evi- denced by a talent display in assembly. Presided over by MC Jean Macauley, the stage-frightened 'fentertainersi' went through their repertoires, to the great delight of an appreciative audience. Once again we breathed with relief as another rare and joyous week end hove into sight, and our various sports enter- ed the limelight with several victories and one defeat. They did it again! Our Broncos defeated Saunders Trade 27-7 in a swampy battle on a muddy field. In our fifth win of the year, high-scorer Trapp came through with fifteen points for the Blue and Gray, with Michalski and McCleary bringing in the rest of our points. Also struggling against odds on a wet field, the booters lost a close match V V V PICTURES . Hangin, on for the ride? . Don'll get him! . S'matter, Bob? . That man's here again! .

Our distance runners competed at Tibbetts Brook with Roosevelt and Hastings High Schools on the same week end. The Blue and Gray runners took second, fourth, tenth, and eleventh places to bring BHS in second in the Triangle Meet. The next Monday night Mr. Tauben- eck came forth in another forum based on World Topics, by which we were pro- perly impressed and afterwards infin- itely better informed. A wide variety of subjects was discussed, ranging from the Atlantic Charter to home politics concerning elections. CYou party mem- bers can take it from there. New Deal- ers are in the minorityj Shortly before, Mr. Taubeneck had impressed upon his feather-brained Seniors the seriousness of local politics and government, after which we all trouped down to the gym to View with awe those formidable ma- chines that we shall be using in just a few years. After elections were over, our history classes were the scenes of heated debates about those elected, thereby proving that after all, we do read the newspapers, and not just the funnies. And in relation to our study of the beginnings of our great nation, Sylvia Henderson, one of our most illustrious Seniors, was chosen by students and fac- ulty alike as our representative in the annual D. A. R. essay contest. Sylvia's subject was The Causes of the Amer- ican Revolutionu, to be expounded in H300 words or less . In view of her past excellent work, we were not surprised at the swell job she did. Gi? z.. .91 X rig iT ,365 ' 1 ' S-a la .l ' cb 5 . T' X .A g, , 'sk .'

This extra ed- ucation means that the boys will be better fit to do more responsible jobs when they have to enter active service. All of them realize their positions now, and that of their country, and are do- ing all they can to be better prepared for what lies ahead of them. On Armistice Day Dr. Bair spoke to us of the day N25 Years Afterw and of his hopes that we have learned enough not to repeat the mistakes made before, but to plan for a better postwar world. That Saturday, November 13, tit must have been that numberj the BHS football squad, till then undefeated, played Fordham Prep on their field in a semi-blizzard. Though we lost, the Bron- cos did their best, but Eric Miller, the soph quarterback sensation, was out with a head injury, and the Prepmen seemed to click at just the right times. The final score was 12-7, but we will maintain, to the bitter end, that we was robbed . The next Friday our kid Mercurys took third place in the Tri-County Cross- Country Championships. With some fifty competitors, the Broncos placed men in the second, nineteenth, twenty- fourth, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth po- sitions. The biggest athletic event of the year, the Bronxville-Scarsdale football game, dx 0- Q 4 its-Nl Ns' Fw l,,- UQ ,ff - I SNA Xf xl, V C' Page fourteen . C55 if v-, ' . N .

None of our former fears came to fruit, for we were the victors in an exciting game that ended with the score 24-14. After the game, the traditional Scarsdale-Bronx- ville dance was held, at Scarsdale. Through the excellent work of all the committees concerned, the dance was a great success, and rivalries were hap- pily forgotten, for a few hours, at least. The week end was a blissful relief after the trials of goal-book marking. We trudged back to school on Monday to start anew. The teachers also decid- ed that we should start anew because third goal period means marks, marks mean semester grades, semester grades mean getting into UD college which all goes back to studying. Just one big vic- ious circle! And so we staggered home with books piled high. But, happy thought, Mr. Taubeneck's forum was tonight, so, of course, we couldn't do any homework. We listened with great attentiveness to the subject Study America-The Hour of Decisions and were told that we must study our pro- blems and make the right decisions with understanding. Tuesday our teachers, with the exception of Taubie , were not at all understanding and were quite concerned, to say the least, that we hadn't done our work. So you see now why there's some truth in our favorite saying, A student's life is not a happy one. Ut really is, but it gets us down sometimesj Our plans for study had not progress- ed too well because of some strange mal- ady we called Christmas fever. iIt's not unusual, really.J All around us were the holiday signs: the festively deco- rated tree in the main hall, the sniffs of evergreen, dreams of the jolly old elf',, anticipation of vacation dates and danc- es, and many surprises hidden in lockers and closets. Christmas vacation began with the Senior Baby Party on Thursday, Decem- ber 16. Our sophisticated glamour girls, especially the gruesome twosome of Macauley and Hake, were exceedingly entrancing with a doll in one hand and V V V PICTURES . Miss Pep of 1944 . Tramp, tramp .

Drop the Handkerchiefn was the most fun, with our dignified UD Student Council President in a flowing white nightie and booties chasing after all the girls. tHe didn't catch them, either-they had on rubber-soled shoes lb Near the end of the evening, Santa, who turned out to be Dr. CTeddyJ Bair, made his entrance amid loud cheers and proceeded to distribute the decidedly odd presents each of us had chosen for some one of our little playmates. Little Jackie Steinmetz re- ceived a baby's bottle filled with some- thing stronger than milk. You ought to know better'n thatf, said he after a sniff, and promptly drank it. Working in its quiet and efficient manner, our Junior Red Cross, headed by Anne Remington, had done a great deal in the weeks preceding Christmas to make the holidays brighter for those enduring the real hardships of war. Spe- cial Christmas cards were sent to our BHS alumni in the services and, from reports we have received, these tokens of our interest and good will were really appreciated. Boxes filled by the advi- sories under the supervision of the Coun- cil were sent to English children- candy, soap, combs, paper, pencils, and games were some of the articles in these packages. One hundred and fifty gift boxes were also filled for the men at Camp Shanks. In addition to these boxes Christmas decorations and carol books were sent to the Camp to make it a happier Christmas for the men who were so far from home. Our efforts along these lines made it a better Christ- mas for us too, for it is Nbetter to give than to receivef' and we knew that our works, however infinitesmal, were ap- preciated at their final destinations. Holidays really started Saturday, the 18th, which gave us a long vacation. Sat- urday was also the date of the opening of the famous Club '44 where the gang meets to eat, dance, smoke, and have a wonderful time. The Club is in the un- dercroft of the Christ Church, and on the opening night it was really crowded. Bush Kent was the Master of Cere- monies and Ted Johnson the head of the Social Committee. The many attrac- tions of the evening included songs by V Y Y PICTURES . The one, the only, the original . They beat us to it . VVho'd have thought it! . A REAL band . Pahdon me!', . Geez, hey, a rat race! the sultriest of our singers, Mo Dom and Anne Remington, and skits and rec- itations by such virile specimens as Pete Aczel, Bill Coldwell, Joe Corr, George Davis, Marcel McGrath, Tom Middleton, Ted Taubeneck, and Ted Tut- tle. Our own swing band, starring such illustrious maestros as Ted Johnson, Dick Kent, Shirley McKay. Larry Mort- lock, and Don Shaw, provided some real- ly professional music and throughout the year was the main drawing card of many a dance. Mr. Taubeneck's forum still held forth during the vacation, and on Monday we heard our favorites, William L. Shirer, Dr. Samuel Inman, Leland Rex Robin- son, Leland Stowe, and James MacDon- ald, discuss the problems of the future. On Christmas Eve we all went to the Reformed Church to see our lovely Shir- ley McKay in the role of the Virgin Mary. She was beautiful, and we went home with the true Christmas spirit. New Year's Eve was quite a night, and we heard rumors of certain male fand female 'FJ members who came home singing loudly about 9 A. M. on the fol- lowing morning. On January 3, we went from the ridiculous to the sublime and started back to school. All that homework which we were definitely go- ing to do over the holidays was still to be done, and we determined to do part of it that evening, but again Taubie came to our rescue with a forum- Out- look for 1944, A Look Ahead which impressed on our minds the fact that we muslt look forward and search for the trut . The basketball squad semed to have been the only individuals who worked at anything during our vacation, and they went to work to improve their record. Our score before the semesters end, two 'Y .wifi N3-V 'T C , :CWI .if X I ' ll , 41':.v1!'S5. C if FS 57?- Page scuentec ll wins and four losses, wasn't too good, but we were still hoping. Between prac- tice periods for the males, the female basketball tournament started, with all trying to be superwomen. Other brawny blondes and brunettes were off to score at bowling so they could impress the boy friend. Almost before we realized it, the Sen- ior play was perfected under the able direction of Dusty Dodds. Everyone looked here, there, under desks, and in lockers for any culprit who hadn't bought at least one ticket. None es- caped the evil eye, and all were brought under subjection. Whoopee! We es- tablished a new record in money made, and the play Nothing But the Truth was a brilliant success. It was a three act comedy concerning Bob Bennett fTom Middletonj who made a 810,000 bet that he could tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. Whereupon E. M. Ralston C Little Iggie Taubeneckb invited Bob to his home in order to make everything as hard as possible, with the help of Gwenn Ralston CShirley Mc- Kayl and other members of the cast such as Jim Bailey, Don Bliss, Lois Cole, Francoise Crivelli, Fritz Fulton, Lucile Hake, Jean Macauley, and Mercedes Maxwell. After the second night all members of the cast Cand most of the Senior classj departed for Don Bliss' house to dance, partake of refresh- ments, and hash over the mistakes and successes of the evening. Unhappily, almost as soon as the play was over, we had to bid goodbye to one of our best actresses and most lovable Seniors, Hakie. Luckily she came back after a semester in Arlington, Virginia, to join in our graduation revels. The goal period land semesterj was fy .qi s . V J ,fggfv an -' f fx.

A Page eighteen rapidly drawing to a close, and we be- gan to realize that we were going to lose thirteen of our students who were off to college, the seven seas, the infantry, or the air. On Friday the 28th, after a grueling week of regents, Jim Ashbrook, Page Benson, Tom Blomberg, Geoff Duf- fil, Squeak Eaglesham, Dave Harvey, Dick Jansen, Bill Linehan, Bud MarElia, Bob Newcomb, Mary Rogers, Tom See- hof, and Mont Simons were graduated as the first mid-year class in the history of BHS. Considering the conditions which made this irregularity necessary, we sincerely hope it will also be the last group to make its exodus in January. After the brief exercises in which the orchestra played and the chorus sang, the new alumni went to a reception and semi-formal dance given by the Senior class in Gwinn Hall. For a while our former classmates roamed the halls looking superior and perhaps a bit wistful, but within the next two months these alumni were scattered far and wide: Bud, Mont, and Geoff in the Air Corps, Jim at Denison studying to be a chaplain, Page taking a pre-med course at Cornell, Bill in the V-5 at Brown University, Dick fJan- senj in same at Williams, Bob and Dave in the Navy, Tom Blomberg and Mary Rogers furthering their educations in New York, Tom Seehof in the A-12 Unit at Rutgers University, and Squeak working toward art school in the fall. We who still had five months before we joined the Class of '44A in the wide worldu wished them the best of every- thing and waited anxiously for news of their activities and whereabouts. With all the distractions of this im- portant goal period, it was hard to keep our minds on work, but we struggled along and were fairly well satisfied with our grades. We hope that our colleges will be too. That's what counts! After the usual barrage of semester exams, goal period tests, and the cus- tomary quizzes ending the first term, a number of us plowed through the snow up to Scarsdale to see the traditional rivals play. Being definitely on the ball , the Maroons took a quick lead and maintained it throughout the game, the Y V V PICTURES . Student Council . Senior Ex- ecutive Council . Junior Executive Council .

Following this game the girls brought out box suppers for their dates, and the BHS rooters were enter- tained at a dance given by the generous victors. Bob Wilbur and his band fur- nished the excellent music for dancing, and thanks to the team and the spirit of Scarsdale, everyone had a wonderful afternoon and evening, in spite of the fact that we lost the game. The return engagement was a differ- ent story, however. For as much as it had been Scarsdale's game three weeks before, this time it was ours all the way. The boys rallied beautifully and showed a surprising come-back in spirit and ability. The squad played as one and the cooperation certainly showed in the final score of 57-38, beating all previous records for Bronxville-Scarsdale games by 13 points. The team, Captain Ed, Larry Mortlock, Bud McCleary, Bob McGrath, and Francis Hall, ended the season with a victory that they can be proud of. The Jayvee offers a promis- ing squad for next year as they won eight out of twelve games tincluding two victories over Scarsdalej by work- ing extremely well together under their captain, Charlie Dumont. On February 5, Rhoda Kaplan was 'ton the air in the Yankee Doodle Quiz Program as BHS's representative. The topic of the broadcast was The Four Freedomsn, and of the four contestants -two boys and two girls-Rhoda's score was second highest, though the boys' combined scores exceeded the girlsl. However, Rhoda came home with a pair of ice skates as a prize, and she did a swell job as our representative. Another exciting basketball game of the season was the Edison Tech game played at Mount Vernon. Big Ed scor- ed 20 of the 35 points, but Larry Mort- lock won the game with a shot in the last two seconds to make the final score 35-34. Both Bronxville squads came home victorious. We might here add our thanks to Anne Remington who, with her crew of cheerleaders, worked V V V PICTURES . A word to the WiS6- . VVitll his left hand, tool . Now let's not be impa- tient, boys .

The 24th Annual Public Speaking con- test was held on February 14. Mr. Tau- beneck explained the procedure and the impromptu speakers got under way, Bradley Lynch and Jean Macauley tak- ing the gold awards in the first group. The honors for the planned speeches went to Peter Aczel, Fred Bailey, George Davis, and Jim Ashbrook. The quick thinkers took the selected subjects from the audience, Bobbie Koenig and Ted Taubeneck did the outstanding jobs. Shirley Armour, Jack Ryan, and Mary Whitlock received gold certificates for their impromptu talks on the Constitu- tion. The students did a remarkable piece of work on their individual topics and demonstrated the excellence of Mr. Taubeneck's training. The social life of the Senior High stu- dents was considerably brightened by the Leap-Year Dance held at the Club '44 on February 26. The hags had the stags decked out in corsages fitting to the occasion, and the decorations, con- sisting of caricatures of several teach- ers, added to the fun. The entertain- ment was the outstanding highlight of the evening. Songs, monologues, and some excellent boogie comprised the pro- gram led by the M. C., Mercedes Max- well. The students enjoyed dancing to the small combo from Scarsdale under Bob W'ilbur's direction. All of us had a really grand time. A sports item from the first track meet of the season was brought to our attention when the boys placed sixth in the annual A. A. U. meet at Madison .

George Davis, who by taking first place in the shotput com- petition became the national A. A. U. high school champion, was the outstand- ing contestant from Bronxville. The rest of the ten man team made a good show- ing for the Blue and Gray in the 1'Ll11- ning events. Dayne McGiehan also brought honor to BHS for her efforts in the Science Talent Search for the Westinghouse Science Scholarships. She received hon- orable mention which places her in the top three hundred of the nation's high school seniors in the expanding scien- tific field. The next Saturday those who had par- tially succeeded in fathoming la langue francaise dragged themselves out of bed and appeared at New York Univer- sity at 10 A. M. UD to take a written examination in French. This exam was the first half of the annual Westchester French Concours, and contestants deem- ed worthy on the basis of their written work, returned to N. Y. U. on May 3, for a qualifying interview with one of the judges-ten minutes of casual UD conversation in French with a native Frenchman! Try it sometime. The BHS linguists who were brave enough to en- ter this contest were Nancy Deane, Frances Ferris, Barbara Fri, Lucile Hake, Jackie Hawkins, Sylvia Hender- son, Ruthe Hollrock, Carol Hulsapple, Eloise Knapp, Jean Macauley, Zoe Man- ell, Connie Meloy, Anne Remington, and Sally Staier. Between the Juniors' advertising for their play, the Taubie debators debat- ing in the history classes, fthey never did agreej and the Army, Navy and Air ll , J . J X , N ffl f th p V Page twenty-two Corps exams fafter which the boys all decided they wanted to join the Marines because Jim Houston said it was the best branch anywayi, an unusual event took place. The Senior girls gave a suc- cessful dance! Bob Holliday, a graduate of '40, brought some of his friends from the medical school at Columbia out to Bronxville to join the Senior boys in giving the girls a treat. After hearty dinners at various of the girls! homes, they turned out to dance to the music of our Swing Band. In the middle of the evening, the pre-meds showed their tal- ents by singing many old songs, accom- panied by Bob Miller at the guitar. Re- freshments and decorations helped to make Gwinn Hall a lively place that night. You can bet that the boys will be welcomed any time they can come back! In spite of all the goings-on, however, the versatile females drew their winter sports season to a close by winning the varsity basketball game against Scars- dale, 18-11. The team, unanimously backing Mo Dom as captain, played with much spirit and ability. The girls, bowling team, consisting of five mem- bers, did a noble job in rolling up a score of 1,760 points against New Rochelle's 1,589 points. It must be the air in these parts that keeps us going at such a pace! The Red Cross is again to be congratu- lated, this time for its work for the Rus- sian War Relief. Twenty-six boxes con- taining everything from a two oz. pack- age of dehydrated soup mix to one Turk- ish hand towel Cwith soapb were filled at the approximate cost of 33.00 per. Nice going! In fact, the Junior Red Cross did some pretty nice going throughout the year. Though we all helped out at one time or another dur- ing the year, it was through the ener- getic work of the Council itself that so much was accomplished. Don Bliss and Eric Miller headed the Senior High Scrap drive, and as a result of their con- stant pleas for wastepaper fnplease bring some old papers-or clean out your notebooks J and other scrap, we pro- vided the government with some much- needed materials as well as providing the Red Cross treasury, watched over by Fred Bailey, with much-needed funds V V V PICTURES .

Each month money was sent to a fund for the aid of our prisoners of war in Germany and Japan. Handicrafts play- ed a big part in the council's program for the year, too. In the feminine cir- cles housewives , knitted scarves, wristlets, and afghans were turned out regularly. In shop the boys made book wagons, lap boards, and rejuvenated old lamps for use. In the early spring it was decided that BHS was sadly in need of a Hservice roll , and Linder the supervision of Miss Clever a group of students set about the difficult task of making a list of all BHS students now in the services. Since the village of Bronxville has no official list of its members in the armed forces this proved to be a really difficult job, and those who struggled with it for long hours have our complete admiration and thanks. One of the most interesting forums of the year featured Dr. Joseph Roucek, who is an American citizen born in Czechoslovakia, he explained that geo- graphy was more important than ideals. He advocated the realistic policy of Wal- ter Lippman of America-first, fore- most, and always! We seemed to see the results of our facing of the facts as the graduates of former years wandered through the halls looking for those whom they knew when they were the big fellas and we the innocent Juniors, Sophs, or younger. Yes, they say, they like the service, but they wish they were back in BHS where they had a little fun and did a little loafing between the week ends. It was swell to see them all again, but it was odd to think that in a few short months the boys of '44 would be helping them out there, for every once in a while we realized that spring was almost upon us, and our days in BHS would be over all too soon. In spite of dire prophecies from the teachers that the fifth goal period is liable to be the Seniors' W'aterloo, we nevertheless turned out full force the first Monday of the new goal period for the last forum of the year. The armed services took over the stage for the eve- V V V PICTURES . Ladies' man, too . Laugh, you bums . This CAN l' be the teacher! . Riding for u fall .

After very interesting talks by each of the latter four, Pete told us about his experiences with the Paratroopers of the Army. Sgt. Newcomb then spoke for the rest of the evening of the Battle for Tarawa and supplemented his talk with a series of slides taken during the siege. lVe left the auditorium that eve- ning with an uncomfortable realization of some of the grimness of war. This last forum made a stronger impression than any other we attended. For weeks the Juniors had been dis- rupting assemblies with their tough guy advertisements for their play, Stop Thief , and finally on the 24th and 25th of March we were allowed to view the results of those weeks of chaos. The play was splendid, and we all en- joyed it though perhaps our enjoyment was a bit dampened by the fact the Jun- iors had succeeded in breaking even our monetary records. Realizing that all this money was for a Banquet, we for- gave 'em. The next Tuesday many of our class- mates seemed unusually harried, and the cause of their anxieties became known that night when the Annual Pub- lic Speaking Debate was held. After an introductory speech by Mr. Taubeneck in which he presented the subject of the debate as What Should Be the Role of the United States in World Affairs , Sylvia Henderson stated the solution as the girl debaters saw it--that the U. S. should strive for a world federation as a minimum in the post-war world. Ted f X ff - 6 B tj lo . Ll X ' I .X ' I E-'Li 4 .1 7-PTF 'L Y'-'fl fl Us 1: xi ! Page tweiity-fzi e Taubeneck then presented his opinion that the United States had best get a foreign policy before it is too late to do so. Following these two speakers, such great orators as Edith Cannon, George Davis, Jean Macauley, Tom Middleton, Jack Ryan, and many others presented opinions and arguments on various as- pects of the main problem. All of the speakers displayed excellent speaking ability, and since they really knew their facts, the debate was quite impressive. The boys' advisory basketball tourna- ment was played over a period of several weeks, and Miss Greene's advisory came out on top. fHeck, they had Big Ed Michalski and Sport Mortlock-what more could we expect?J Co-ed advisory volleyball games were also featured, and the combined skills of our brawny gals and husky fellows made the games a treat to watch. Miss Green's advisory again came out the winners! Mr. Lynch rounded up his trackmen early in the season, and really gave them a work- out. P. F. I's again reared their ugly heads for both boys and girls, and an unusual number of groans and shrieks were heard during that backbreaking period of push-ups, pull-ups, back lift, leg lift, and all the other tortures we had to endure. March 21 was as usual the official be- ginning of spring, and for a while inter- mittent attacks of spring-fever left us powerless. Then April 6th, the begin- ning of spring vacation, rolled in accom- panied by a howling blizzard. Frenzied girls with fancy new Easter outfits wailed constantly, while the hard-heart- ed males guffawed loudly. The day school ended an assembly was called to give us the opportunity to hear the guest speaker enumerate the trials of farm life and go on to encourage us to help Page Iwezzty-sir , xf ,cj ig?

The great shortage of men for farm work has ren- dered our services really valuable, and Mrs. Washburn impressed upon us the importance of devoting our summer months to any type of farm work we can do. Snow or no snow, vacation was won- derful. Of course, some of us spent part of our precious freedom worrying our- selves sick about College Boards, but we got through the fatal day without too many casualties, we hope we'll get into college-that was the general idea, any- way. Heaping insult on injury, our first two days at school after the vacation were spent in trying to display know- ledge we didn't possess-in other words, Co-operatives Cwhy are they called that?J had to be undergone once again fthe last time for us-rah IJ Two days of brain-racking, head scratching, and suf- fering yielded only the discovery that we now, as Seniors, knew less than we did as ninth graders. Does it seem worth it? During vacation rehearsals were go- ing on for 'tIn Dutch , or The Buggy Rides Again -a sequel to last year's tremendously successful Bronxville Buggy Ride . This new production was a play in two acts and three scenes, the topic being ye olde Dutch village of Bronxville as seen in 1664, in Civil War days, and in 1944. Mr. Dodds' chorus, aided by Mr. Kinsey's Reformed Church Choir, provided the excellent singing of songs written by Miss Taylor and Mr. Brown. Mr. Harold Gibbs, with assist- ance and suggestions from a special com- mittee, wrote the plot of this sparkling musical, and local talent did the rest. Nance O'Connor and Phil Steding took the student leads, backed by Don Bliss, Bill Coldwell, Dick Geyer, Lynne Mapel, Mercedes Maxwell, Ed Michalski, Tom Middleton, Ted Taubeneck, Peg Thom- son, and many other local stars. The tap chorus CBronxville's equivalent of the Rockettesl had us all agape and really deserved the big hand and all the cat- calls they received. They worked hard for weeks 'n weeks to achieve that smooth co-ordination. Y V V PICTURES . I was just an innocent girl-3' . I don't know what I'm saying! . Now, see here- .

As was the case last year, the show ran for three days to full houses, and the enjoyment which it gave the au- dience was only rivaled by the fun we all had being in it or helping out on the production end. Needless to say, its suc- cess could also be ascertained by the cash taken in for the P. T. A. Students' Aid Fund. We were all delighted to discover that baseball would once more have a part in the varsity athletic program, and the usual crowd of girls on the bleachers proclaimed the skill Cand attractivenessl of the Blue and Gray team. While not admiring their heroes, the gals were do- ing some plain 'n fancy ball-playing themselves. Teams and tournaments were organized and it was tiring just to watch these energetic Amazons slugging 'em out to the outfield. Tennis also had its fans and some pretty fast games were in evidence throughout the spring. The Cindermen continued their vigorous training and, as usual, entered the Penn Relays to uphold Bronxville's good name. The track team of '44 was truly ex- ceptional, with our men breaking many previous records and piling up victories for the school. Big Ed surpassed his usual unbelievable performances and broke three of the school's records-in the broad jump, the 220, and the 440. Sports fans will not soon forget Ed's remarkable athletic abilities, and Bronx- ville will long remember him as one of its most outstanding athletes. George Davis led us to still more victories and honors in track events. Breaking all school records for the shot-put and dis- cus-throwing, George also received the title of National A. A. U. indoor shot- put champion. John Nowak and Dick Trapp broke the records for the mile and the 880 yard dash respectively. Those Cindermen never seem satisfied! In addition to these individual victor- ies, our team placed high in the relays and meets which it entered. In the Penn Relays, at which schools from all over the country were represented, our team placed third in the two mile relay, no small honor for BHS. We took first V Y V PICTURES .

Feminine pulchritude and plenty of it place in the Westchester Relays, Class A division, and in the Hudson Valley Meet at Poughkeepsie. In the Schnec- tedy Meet we placed first in the mile relay with the record-breaking time of 3:28.5. The Club '44, started in December, continued to function through the year quite successfully. Almost every Satur- day it was open to all and sundry for various activities and a good time. Ping- pong, dancing, card games, refresh- ments, and congenial company were of- fered to all interested, and most of us were. The swing band often provided the music for dancing and really did a swell job at it. They also provided dance music every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday noon period during the year in Gwinn Hall, and this musical interlude was extremely welcome after the nerve- racking scramble for something to eat in the cafeteria. We all take off our hats to the members of the band who gave us so much pleasure and worked so hard at making our dances and the Club '44 a success. The realization that we were at last coming down the home stretch of our high school days began to come to us as Mr. Dodds intensified his search for Hsingable songs , original lyrics, and hidden talent Cas if we'd hide it!J We wanted the biggest and best Class Day ever, but it was so hard to put it all on paper. Spring was really getting a hold on us, and the outdoors beckoned so in- vitingly, unfortunately teachers, home- work, review books, and tests also beck- oned Cperiodj The third week in May our school band and orchestra gave an evening concert .

Congratula- tions to Mrs. Lindsay and Mr. Gross who worked so hard to bring out and improve any musical talent in BHS's students. At the last assembly in May Miss Litchfield announced that Bronxville's French students had taken five of the sixteen places in the Westchester French Concours. Zoe Manell, a Junior, Qhow we hate to admit itll brought honor to Bronxville by placing first among sev- enty-five of the top French HI students entered. Sylvia Henderson placed ninth, Anne Remington twelfth, Eloise Knapp thirteenth, and Sally Staier fourteenth. We were all proud that they had shown their worth in spite of stiff competition. Around this time we lost two of our most active and best-liked members- Student Council President George Davis and Community War Fund Chairman Bill Coldwell. Outstanding in leader- ship, scholarship, and athletics, these two left a large gap in the ranks of the Seniors. Bill went South to V. M. I. and George went to Syracuse to continue his studies under the A-12 program. In George's absence Brad Lynch stepped into the vacant presidency. For several weeks an undercurrent of excitement had puzzled us, and grad- ually the truth came outg those great institutions of higher education Ccol- legesj had seen fit to accept our lowly selves to their hallowed halls of learn- ing. Our achievements were praise- worthy, and next fall will see BHS's fame spread to all parts of the college world. We feel we are really on our way at last, though only starting. -L 3 'KA' 'N ' - , Q N X X F,- 1 . flied X Q1 340- Page thirty June already! And Junior-Senior Ban- quet time. With the generous profits from their class play the Juniors outdid themselves to give us a wonderful eve- ning. We hardly recognized the glam- orous belles and sophisticated gents as our classmates-the change from jeans. moccasins, jalopy sweaters, and T shirts was devastating, to say the least. Speeches by our more illustrious mem- bers added a note of dignity CTU to the festivities, and good music, soft lights, and June breezes made it an evening to remember. Thanks, Juniors! The next few weeks saw us a harried bunch rushing around memorizing math theorems, chem formulas, history dates, grammar rules, irregular verbs Cin Latin, French, and Spanishl and our lines for Class Day. Somehow time seemed to go too fast-we wanted to sit down and catch a breath or two. But no, Class Day loomed near, and soon we commandeered the stage for the after- noon to entertain Those we left behind with our singing, dancing, and witty re- marks. Then came the rush for year- books to see what had been said about our illustrious selves and to secure the signatures without which a yearbook is as nothing. CApologies to Editor of Year Bookl We noticed happily that some of our former classmates had re- turned to join in our festivities: Jo Manzer came back from the wilds of Wisconsin, Innocent Hake rushed up from Virginia, and several of our Jan- uary graduates dropped in to view the fun through the worldly eyes of alumni. The J unior-Senior Picnic, Regents, Baccalaureate, and goodbyes to teachers engrossed us for the last week, and now, at the end of one stage of our lives and the beginning of another, we stop to take a look at the past and to wonder what the future holds. Though we may have seemed a bit happy-go-lucky in past years, we are sure that the know- ledge and other benefits which we gain- ed in those years in BHS will stand us in good stead when we take up our roles in this world at war or in the subsequent peace after victory.

We've forgotten our misgivings and realized many of our hopes. Our three years in high school have been important ones, both in our lives and across the World. In the December of our sophomore year the United States entered the War, and We found ourselves in the midst of rapidly changing times. In addition to our regular scholastic and ath- letic activities, our schedules now included scrap drives, air raid alerts, home-runs, War bond and Community War Fund drives, and Red Cross projects. Our days were full, but we still found time to participate ener- getically in class functions and projects. We produced two very successful class plays, Bachelor Born and Nothing But the Truth , breaking all previous monetary records and prov- ing that we're as entertaining on-stage as off. In spite of the acute man shortage our Banquet last year was one of the most successful in years. The Club '44, conceived by previous classes and brought into being by our efficient social committee, provided a place for all to gather for an evening of informal fun. Ted Johnson, our trumpet-playing president, assisted by other diligent class members, Worked hard to establish and maintain the Club, and We hope you Juniors and Sophs will keep it going and improve upon it next year. We have also represented the school noblv in all con- tests, scholastic as well as athletic. Some were truly outstanding in their fields, the rest of us have done our best. and vve've all Worked together to uphold BHS,s good name and to make the most of our years here. Relatively fevv of us have graced Bronxville since kindergarten or ele- mentary school days, and our class represents many parts of the World as Well as numerous localities in this country. In addition to the swell gang of foreigners from Edgemont. our lively students represent France, Svveden. China, Austria, and England. Bronxville has also attracted many from far and near in these United States. Though we shall soon be scat- tering to even more diversified regions, our high school davs have drawn us together and We leave as a unified group with the same memories of good times and the same regrets that we perhaps couldn't have appreciated our vvork and play more at the time instead of in retrospect. In our Senior year vve said good-bye to thirteen of our members-two girls and eleven boysw-who graduated in January as the first mid-year class in BHS historyl Our male population was further depleted as other members left throughout the year to join the Armed Forces. We wish to salute those of our boys who have left our gang to take their places in this World conflict, and those Who will be joining them after graduation. Like it or not, the Class of '44 is already at war, and we shall be doubly glad of the training and fun we have had at Bronxville.

We have Cin our own unbiased opinionj achieved great heights in ath- letic and scholastic activities, which have gained for our class a dominant place in the archives of BHS. In order to carry on these numerous activities, we first elected our com- petent executive council headed by Bill O'Neill, with Jack Kent tacting in the absence of Jack Allardj vice-president, Betty Lee Davis, secretary, and Don Miller, treasurer. Joan Powell, Jim Pastoriza, and Lois Birrell com- pleted the representation from each advisory. Vic Mays, with a capable staff, selected and procured our class rings. Perhaps the quality for which our class will be best remembered is its athletic ability. Some of our Herculean participants were Jack Barrett, Joe Corr, Francis Hall, John Kent, Bob McGrath, Joe Mason, John Nowak, Don O'Brien, and Dick Trapp. Connie Atwater, Jinny Henderson, Pat Hen- line, Clara Mirwald, Babs Neall, Eileen Peterson, and Betty and Molly Whelan distinguished themselves in feminine athletics. Helen Cole, Lois Birrell, and newcomer Jocelyn Marshall periodically knocked themselves out cheering the varsities on to further successes. To see that our rights were not infringed upon, we elected Don Kivell, Brad Lynch, Gorden MacArthur, Don Miller, and Bill O'Neill to the Stu- dent Council to represent us. The patriotic spirit in our class was urged on by Pat Henline with her highly commendable organization of the high school War Bond Drive. The Red Cross Council took care of other similar activities. One of our' prime achievements of the year was the presentation of Stop Thief . This was a great success, surpassing all previous monetary records for school plays. Displaying amazing dramatic talent in this production were Nina Lee Allen, Tom Barr, Joan Clark, Joe Corr, Bob Day, Punch Flack, Mary Helen Johnson, Jack Kent, Bobbie Koenig, Brad Lynch, Bob Tredwell, Warren Wolf, and many others. With the receipts from this play we were able to give the much enjoyed traditional J unior-Senior Banquet. We have the quality, quantity, and effort necessary to make our Sen- ior class one of the most outstanding ever to pass through the halls of BHS, and we shall indubitably succeed in living up to this standard.

Despite the fact that we were 125 strong, great oaken l K- if 3 doors and frightening teachers glared down upon us. In order to weaken fl T our ranks, the faculty split us up into advisories. Although the advisers l lv, kept us quiet all the time, we loved 'em. 1 ' W- . When the history of Lost BronXville is written, the names of t'Shorty :S 'Y Hodgson, 'tSmiles Doege, Mouse Hiner, Whit Williams, and Tut, tut , Sv Lyons will go down on the record as great congressmen. These brilliant Q. and senatorial gentlemen represented us on the Student Council, and we -5- 3' shall never forget their stirring expostulatory observations. C Jr We must have taken nearly every subject available, because we sure done slaved. Our tender, youthful minds were jammed full with apposi- X ' tives, proportions, irregular verbs, photosynthesis, and the great kings of the past centuries. At first, we were baffled, but at last we clicked and ' f we go on as Juniors with an I. Q. of 32 instead of 31. LE For a short period of 45 minutes three times a week, we broke our necks I N, ' , and backs with Mr. Matthaei and Miss Tyler leading the way. We contrib- V, ' uted much to the school teams with Dick Houston, Eric Miller, Charlie 144 ' ' Dumont, Whit Williams, Walt Pape, and Galen White excelling on both it F its the football and basketball teams. Bob Crowley and Johnny Patrick ran t L. N us to several cross-country and track victories, while Mr. Richie coached 4, Q ' Bill Andrus, Jerry Hiner, Bob Neall, Pet Rounds, and Ted Weed into mighty ' Ciine players on the soccer team. Q-9 Three of our members-Eileen and Edith Skillings and Debby Durfee- 1 3: led in cheering BHS to its victories. We also had a large representation .Z in the chorus. They gave some fine shows this year, and can really make is with the Bach and Boogie. The Mirror had a great many Soph contribu- tors and reporters, all helping to make our journal the tops in style and . X1 ql13.lllLy.I A if jdyo - f . . . C B And so, as we look back over a year of many activities, we remember J a lot of good times and we're sorry that it's over. We've still got a long f' way to go, but now the vacation begins and we have two whole months to get untangledh and sleep until noon, so that next fall will see us ready for , a useful and active Junior year. .Q tif 1 Top-First Row: -Whitehair, Marshall, Halsey, Gramm, Meyer, Lemon, Packard, Hamilton, Bogie, Conti, McLean, Reville.

It is the product of long and arduous work and planning by many people. Therefore I would like to express here my thanks to the following whose efforts have created this Yearbook: C The Jahn 85 Ollier Engraving Company, which did the engraving, and their special representative, Peter Gerwit, who put this togetherg The White Studio, which took most of our pictures for us, and their photographer, Joe Wheelertg The Benton Review Publishing Co., Inc., which printed this bookg Jane Ridges and all who helped her with the writing for this book-- Peter Aczel, Bud Budinger, Joan Clark, Bob Day, Sylvia Henderson, Rhoda Kaplan, Jean Macauley, Dayne McGiehan, Shirley McKay, and many more who put in their two bits g Ramona Dom and Dick Jansen who did the exceptional drawings, inside and out, for this book, Tom Middleton and his staff which handled the business end of the '44 Yearbook so ably, Miss Babcock, Barton Bryant, Don Emery, Gerry Kilby, Bill Linehan, and Bill Murphy who took many of the informal pictures on these pages, Miss Clever, our proof-reader, and Mr. Dodds, who made many pertinent suggestions 3 And Mr. Moore, without whose aid and advice, experience and ability we never could have gone to press.
