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 .
