S TUDENTS, returning last September, initiated the fall with the usual complaints that it was too soon and too hot to begin school. Indeed, it was like every other year in that no one was hysterically happy to be back. In other respects the year seemed different al- ready, for many changes were apparent at the outset. The population explosionflattened Country Day with a record 511 students, an increase which led to the ap- pointment of a school Business Manager. Mr. Deane was off for a sabbatical at Harvard, and to the Math Club was left the task ofwinning the state contest with-v out him. For this purpose a mathletics classwas formed, headed by Dave Adamson and several other seniors.
