I on Formation Hello, folks, this is Graham Crackery speaking from the Rondack reviewing stand. The weather is perfect for the Ron and Dack Formations-big opening event of Varsity Wreck. Sh! the Roms are behind scenes ready to start. Listen, there's the sound of singing. Here are the Rons 'lVlarching Along for Ron T eamf Two columns of green and white nieetg now they're pivoting, and beholdf We have a series of green and white squares. The music changes and 'The Ship of State' leads the colorful lines into a series of complicated maneuvers-a clash of cymbals, and they are lying on the ground forming RON. In the final pattern they sit in hushed silence While a gorgeous red, green, and gold pagoda appears. Its scarlet curtains are drawn back and there, oriental and impassive sits 'The God of Peace,' Buddha. Us that our lively young Irma Newman?j There go the Roms off the pageant grounds. just a minute, we are turning. the mike over to Ted Using. 36

An Interview With the ' wi Leading Littly Hy CAROL Litwis I fell up the steps of Bunk A. hoping to Iind the Ron Captain at home-for once. Is Captain Altsehul in? She is? ! I ! Hello, Miss Altschul. Er-I ,represent RONDACTS. Do you mind answering a few questions for your public? Oh thank you, that's fine! VVell, then, l'm sure that the Rons of 1934 have helped you discover what makes up a good team. VVhat do you think are essential qualities ? A spirit of cooperation and helpfulness combined with a sense of loyalty to team and teammate are fundamental require- ments. And does your team measure up to the standards you have set ? My team has been the personilication of these standards. Then what do you think of the Daek Team? They have added another page to their inimitable record of clean sportsmanship. 'llheir spirit has been worthy of their cap- tain and bus man, Mabel and Helen. 'WVell, I can see that you have a high opinion of ,Rons and Dacks alike, but haven't you a special message for your own team ?'l Naturally, l feel greatly honored that they chose me as their leader and I eouldn't help but do my best with such a dear friend and so capable a girl as Isabel for Ron bus man. I appreciate their willing cooperation and want to thank them all for being' so pleasant to work for and with. I am sure that both Rons and Daclcs alike will be interested in what you have told me. Thank you very much, Captain Altschul. Good afternoon. And l fell down the steps of Bunk A and dashed for a typewriter. ,Ati Interview With the fDiicle Liiiiiiiig Litiiy By JEANNE 'lXxNNEN1xaUM --this is the last time V' I said as I prepared to scour the campus once more for that busy personage known as the Daek Captain. Ah, could that possibly be she ? and forward I dashed. Before she was able to turn, I had breathlessly popped my hrst question. How has the spirit of the Dack Team been this year F 'l'he Uacks, in this respect, have been un- surpassable. Each girl has displayed a most cooperative and helpful attitude towards her team-mates, as well as towards I-Ielen and myself. XNfhat have you to say to this fine team of yours? I-lere she paused, then, in a reverential tone: To them, l' can only say that in thinking me worthy and capable of being their leader. they have conferred upon me an honor l shall never forget. And to Helen? To her goes fully half the credit for this memorable smnmer. To work with so re- sponsive and helpful a 'bus man' has indeed been agreeable and I am greatly indebted to her for her loyalty. l hesitated about interrupting the ensuing refiective silence, but RoNpAc'rs must go to press. However, before I could broach the next topic, Mabel had started to speak about it. The Rons. in all our associations. have proven themselves worthy of such loyal and earnest leaders as Ruth and Isabel. Their line sense of sportsmanship and friendliness has inanifested itself throughout the sum- mer. ' Thanks, Captain Mabel ! and as I closed my pen, oFf dashed that busy captain again, knocking the top off my pen, in her haste, and just barely missing me.

ATHLETIIIE Tafkefball Q-A Qirdfr ciye Vzew Sit tight, there, and steady the camera. The plane is swooping low enough now to see Camp Rondack! That brown rectangle with the white lines must be the basketball court. See those two lines of white and green marching in. There's probably going to be a game. They're taking their places. The greens must be the Dack Inters, and the whites the Rons, for there's Ruth Litt and Evelyn Sitomer at one basket, and Edna Kadin and Carol Davidson at the other end. There goes the whistle. W!hite's in the center Cyes, it's Muriel W'olfsiej. Edna has the ballg that green guard intercepting looked like Claire Kulok. The ball's just a black speck whizzing through the air to the Dack basket. This is such a fast game, I can hardly see the ball at all. Oh, what a shame! A big black cloud's in our way. But we can come back this afternoon. There's a Senior game scheduled then. Thank goodness, the sky is clear now. I can easily distinguish faces. Shirley Greene has the ball. She's turning toward the Ron basket. A green's guarding a white forward. Ah, there's Betty Ross-my, but she's quick on her feet! See how shels eluded her guard! Frankie Block is having a hard time getting away from Harriette Slote. But there! She darts under the basket to get a bounce pass from Betty. She's poised for the shot-easy there-a basket! Letis get one good sequence of the girls cheering!
