CHO0L OTE ln February the first of a series of two concerts, featuring Mr. Maurice Eisen- berg, a noted cellist, was presented in the Carteret School Auditorium. In the second concert we heard Mr. Ernest McChesney, a tenor with the Chicago Opera Company and a graduate of Carteret. An unusual event in the school calendar was the dedication of the new building. Among the celebrities present were members of the Edison and Roosevelt families. The school has reported an enrollment increase of more than forty students. This is partly due to the merger with the Lance School of Summit. In order to improve the assembly programs, Mr. Grim appointed a com- mittee which met regularly to make plans for the coming assemblies. The arrangement proved quite satisfactory. On January 22, the third annual Father and Son dinner was held in the gymnasium. A feature of the event was the National League film Play Ball, America. This year for the first time, Montclair and Newark Academies, and Pingry and Carteret Schools combined to give a dance at the Montclair Golf Club. It is expected that this event will take place every year henceforth. As usual, the Carteret Players were active this year. On two occasions they presented plays under the direction of Mr. R. Prunty MacGerrigle. To celebrate their undefeated season. the Midget football team enjoyed a banquet at the Rock Spring Club. The dinner was attended by the fathers of members of the team. Before the opening of school last September, Orr. J. Elder was in France when the present European war began. He experienced several exciting days before returning home. Harry Rogers and .I oe Scheerer took part of their summer vacations in Flor- ida during March. After returning from the sunny South, Harry needed another week to recuperate from his vacation. On the opening day of the Major League baseball season, Jack Lewis brought along a radio, which suddenly disappeared after lunch period. Later it was found with Professor MacGerrigle, who was enjoying a bull session.

It was quite a number of years ago that it began to present a monthly account of the school's activities and afford our students practical experience in journalism. In 1936, however, it was temporarily discontinued. ln the fall of 1939, many people connected with Carteret voiced the opinion that the new school would hardly be complete without some sort of publication to represent it. As a result, the Carteret News was revived and expanded from a monthly to a bi-monthly edition. The staff at present operates in two capacities: as the editorial board of the Carteret News, with Mr. 0. Lewis Thompson as faculty adviser, and as the Student News Bureau, under the direction of Mr. Robert Frese, of Industrial News Feature, Inc., New York. Within itself, it is subdivided into three depart- mentsg covering sports, social activites, and academic news respectively. The paper itself, as formerly, is distributed gratis to the students and faculty. Although the present Carteret News might be considered somewhat of an improvement over the old monthly, we must nevertheless confess that it still leaves much to be desired. We expect in future years, however, to show improve- ments in enlarging the paper, increasing the regularity of its publication, and putting it on a paying basis. We may also expect to see an increase in the elli- ciency of the Student News Bureau, a new organization at Carteret, founded for the puprose of supplying local newspapers with news concerning the school's activities. Let us all hope, and work., for a better publication in the future! The Dramatic Club, under the fine direction of Mr. R. P. MacGerrigle, gave a total of four presentations this season, all one-act plays. The new stage and auditorium were informally dedicated by the production of A Decision at Dawn , presented on Washington's Birthday, February 22nd. It was a serious drama, well staged and capably acted, and it received the sincere and whole- hearted support of the entire school.
