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!!! .

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
