.,-1 score at half time being 20-12 and 43-28 at the finish. Our high scorers of the day were Captain Ed Michalski and Francis Hall. 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 .
