.,-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 .

Square Gardens. 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.

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 .
