While it seemed that the football team was in the center of the spotlight, the cross-country runners made us sit up and take notice by winning first place in the tri-meet with Roosevelt and Yonkers at Tibbet's Brook. Also the boot- ersi' Csoccerj under Mr. Richie got off to a good season. Mr. Taubeneck started off our Monday evenings' pleasant way to learning with a forceful speech advocating a strong world organization. The same week Lee Baldwin was ap- pointed as School Representative on the Movie Council, and Bobbe Koenig as Chairman of the Assembly Committee. Eleven husky gals under Miss Tyler's sponsorship com- plied with the government's appeal for farm workers, and spent a week on Shelter Island picking beans. They re- turned a bit worn out, but gay and full of wild stories about their widely assorted acquaintances. The second goal period proved to be a wonderful one, full of vacations and unexpected leaves which made it seem as if we were out of school more days than we were in. Ra- tioning and teachers' meetings, seemed to be the cause of these, along with the regular Thanksgiving and election holidays. A darker cloud arose when the news came that the psy- chological tests were on the way, and although they were late, they did arrive, and we managed to suffer through them. For a few days the Juniors and Sophomores were greatly amazed to see the Seniors with their hair combed, jackets and ties in view. This unusual spectacle was the result of White Studio's arrival to take the Year Book pictures. While the boys grew stern and manly, the little man with the Holly- wood ideas pushed and shoved the girls into sultry positions, all of which amused the Seniors, and horrified parents who couldn't recognize their offspring. The social affairs boomed, with a benefit movie, a success- ful Hallowe'en party, and a gay Bronxville-Scarsdale football dance that took the sting out of the afternoon's defeat. On November twenty-first, the first snow fell, and al- though it was a bit scanty, we had a sneaking suspicion that this was going to be a long, cold winter. The third goal period found eager C?J students buckling down in preparation for those semester marks. It was a good beginning anyway-the first interruption to these dili- gent ambitions was the annual Senior Baby Party, followed by the Christmas vacation. The sophisticated Seniors really let their hair down, and came forth in abbreviated pinafores and shorts. Dusty looked extremely maternal sitting at one side with his nurse's uniform-baby doll and all. Santa fHerr Joelj gave Xmas presents to all the children, and there were loud squeals of joy as they opened their toys. At an early hour fnatchl we all went home to sleep off the stren- uous evening. Vacation started on the twentieth, and the High School ran the town ragged, settling down just long enough to see Esther Doege as the Virgin Mary in the village pageant. Everybody returned in January sporting newly acquired possessions to find the school covered with signs reading Jan, 12-13 .
