FRI-XNKIE'S MESSAGE Words are sometimes futile, and true feeling often sounds foolishly sentimental. lt would be hard to thank Carol adequately, therefore as simply as possible I Want to express my appreciation for the work she did, It has been more of a pleasure than a duty to work against the spirited Dack Team and its able leaders, Jeanne and Harriette. As for the Rons, this thought remains with me. Always, the entire summer depends not on the team's athletic ability, but on its cooperation. It is enough to say that through many defeats, days of rain, long hours of sing and formation practice, the Ron Team maintained an attitude of helpfulness and patience. This, to me, is worthy of the highest praise, and for this reason the memories of the summer of 1935 are pleas- ant ones. lEANNE'S MESSAGE 1-9-3-5 at Camp Rondack, no other year the same. The spirit is typically Rondackian, but for the first time I was really able to understand how splendidly our campers act and react to both winning and losing. To the Dacks-my compliments on the admirable spirit you displayed this summer. Such sportsmanship is more than a quality, it's a permanent asset. Nothing would give both Harriette and me greater pleasure than to feel that in somesmall way we helped to make your summer a happier and fuller one. That's but half the story, for the essential of all good drama is conflict -in this case, the splendid op- position of the Rons. To the Ron Team girls to you we're singing, singing with all our hearts, because of the line Way in which you carried out the ideals and high standards of competition inspired by your leaders, Frankie and Kay. W It's hardly necessary to tell Harriette how much she meant to the Dacks and to me, or to enumerate the many ways in which she served the team. For her tire- less energy, her cheerful cooperation and her invaluable ideas, our heartfelt thanks. Rons and Dacks, it was a privilege to Work and play with you.

FORIIIATIOHS RON FORMATION Oh, we'll give a cheer for the excellent formation of the Ron Team. Resplendent in green and white, they began their exciting series of patterns with a great W across the entire pageant grounds. Quickly and easily they then formed one straight line, which marched down perfectly from the head of the field. The effect was amazing indeed. From this Hgure they worked into the high spot of the Ron Formation, an intricate needle work design, in which the inner girls gave the illusion of tapestry, while the frame marched around it, setting it off. Topping this spectacular step, they next formed another per- fect line which bent itself into three pivots and three solid squares. At this point the beautiful Lantern mascot was brought upon the scene, with little Barbara Blickman, her yellow costume gleaming in the sun, as the Goddess of Light. Courting the good graces of victory, the Rons paid tribute to their mascot with the song Goddess of Shining Light, and marched tri- umphantly to their places. DACK FORMATION Fight Dacksl Fight Dacks! Fight Dacks. for Victory! With these words, in a spirited military manner, the Dack Team appeared upon the pageant grounds. Entering from four points, they immediately formed a perfect com- pact pivot which resolved itself into two double lines. ln very effective march formation, keeping time to the rhythmic staccato of their song, the Dacks then strode confidently through the green Arch of Victory which they had placed at the head of the field. H Meeting again in a cross line pivot, the Dacks then executed the most bril- liant step in their routine. This interlocking pivot was especially dramatic in the various green and white effects it produced. With the singing of the Torch Song the team then welcomed Syrille Litt, who represented the flame of the torch that would light the path of victory for the Dacks, They then 'lunfurled the Dack Team banner and marched to the basketball court for the opening gun of Varsity Week, 1935.
