the meeting in the auditorium, and nom- inations were received for the presi- dency. 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
