I9 Page eight THE STORY OF THE YEAR LTHOUGH there were the usual groans of complaint, September seventh found the expected number of us healthy, suntanned students milling in and out of the Big Gym. Somehow we managed to register for the year of 1944-1945. As we gathered around frantic advisers, we heard of new students to join us, as well as several new mem- bers on the faculty. Those first few days were mighty full, and after we had let the school know for the tenth time where we lived and why, we fully expected to be quizzed as to the type of tooth- paste we patronized, but out of this blank fillingi' week we did, however, seem to get things going with a bang. Stu- dent Council representatives were elected, and on Thursday the first meeting was held with Bob Day in the chair. In short order Tom Hodgson was appointed Vice-President, Pat Henline, Treasurer, and Brad Lynch, head of the Social Committee. The following Monday the Seniors assembled, and after a close vote, intrusted Jack Kent with the job of heading the sensational class of 1945. Sue Starr, as Vice-President was elected to look out for that 3-1 girl ratio. The remaining offices of Secretary and Treasurer were voted to Fred Bailey and Vic Mays respectively. The latter by choice of the Sen- ior Executive Council was also handed the important task of editing this Year Book. Tom Barr was appointed Business Manager, Dick Brown, Art Editor, and Sue Starr, Literary Editor. We couldn't believe it, but didn't stop to ask questions when the alarm came late in September that a hurricane was approaching, and we were released for the afternoon. Con- siderable damage was done to the village, but the school, much to our dismay, was untouched. The Welcome Dance, our first social affair, was a big suc- cess, with large turnouts from all grades. There was sing- ing for everyone, and special entertainment by a talented few. On September twentieth the long awaited, first issue of the Mirror appeared. After reading the Reflections we felt well caught up on the results of the summer vacation. Joan LeVino proved her ability, and we were greatly indebt- ed to her and her staff for the pleasant diversion the Mirrors would bring to Tuesday advisory periods. Long before school began the football squad had been sacrificing their mornings' sleep, and practicing for the season's first game. On September thirtieth, Bronxville traveled en masse to Harrison, and enthusiastically cheered on the team. Our victory in this first game gave us a good preview of coming events. The evening of October second found the Seniors gathered at Joe Corr's house for their traditional Senior Sing . This informal evening was well attended, and much enjoyed. Amazing talent was unearthed, all the way from Johnny Nowak to Mr. Moore. I I l Oh, that tone . . . He was O. K. then . . . Pul-ezel . . . Congested, ain't it? . . . Miss him, Doc? . . .
