wending their ways to the Big Gym to partake of our traditional Hallowe'en Dance. 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! . Long-distance cinder- men-our first squad . Coach Rit.chie's crew -and Mortlock with Fieldston, ending with a 1-0 score. Next they tied Horace Mann in a see- saw game that ended 2-2. 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 .'
