Country Day's acreage was greatly enlarged with the addition of 15 acres from the Semple Estate. Mr. Brush moved his X-squaders to the newly acquired land. Attempting to make the touch football program equal to the splendor of new land, Mr. Brush inaugurated the use of Royal Canadian exercises. Everyone of the play- ers was greatly inspired to physical fitness as Messrs. Brush, Layson, Machen, and Spiekel erXe ed muscles and shouted orders. As touch tootbail' improved, Varsity football went downhill. Great effort was made, but a varsity team with lust three seniors is bound to be under par. General support for the football team was unbelievably spotty. The crowd at the Indian Hill game, the highlight of the football season, looked more like a group waiting at a bus stop. Results from National Merit were finally re- vealed with John Dale, Rob Shetterly, and Dave Runyan reaching the semi-finaiist stage. Letters of commendation were awarded to Roger Lee, Mike Maundrell, and Hank Shick. The Service Club came back under the enthu- siastic leadership of Steve Deupree. The club once again had a limited membership attained by tak- ing an exam. Twenty-tour boys were picked and service at Allen House, CondoniSchooi, and var- ious hospitaJ-s was begun. This year an executive committee was selected to write a constitution in the attempt to penpetuate the club and its work. Once again the Country Day School soccer players were out in full force, br-avely facing any weather conditions which Mother Nature provided In past years, the all-star players of the six-team league were chosen by Messrs. Brush, Pattison, and Mechen near the end of the socccr season to compete in the team's annual encounter with Louisville Country Day School. However, this year, Mr. Machen chose a ver- sity team of twenty-two players at the beginning of the season, The rest of the soccer players were divided into four intra-mural teams under the direction of Mr. Brush and Mrt Pattison. The faculty listens to the plan for the ensuing day in the morning assembly.

IT sTarTed as a physics' experiment, but The end result rrserm- bled a free-for-all as non-Tphysics seniors joined The fun and games. The ARCHIVE was well organized This year. Under The ediforship of Bill STern, deadlines were meT and There was no rush a? The 3rd of The year To publish The ARCHIVE on Time, Ez'ough pic- Tu-res were Taken This year for The ARCHIVE To fill a counTy clerk's files. There were no less Than Three sTUdenT plhoTograrphers and EH leasT Three paid photographers before The blinking eyes were put To resT. To add To The Thanksgiving fesTiViTies in No- vember Mr. Brush had all his English students bring To class Thanksgiving decoraTions made by Themselves. The morning before Thanksgiv- ing vacaTion started, his room was jammed with bigger Than life turkeys, 3 Plymouth Rock, and There was even a floor SIhow performed by sen- iors Wilson, Kirkor-ian, and Runyan. Just before The second marking period ended, The annoucement was made in The SCROLL of The haculTy's inTenTion To change The grading sysTem. The goal was To help students Taking five suTb- jecTs or advanced courses and To give less crediT for courses which were below The sTudenT's level of achievement. For aT least a week aherr The announwcermenT was made, The quesTion was, Have you figured om your average? Up and down The halls went boys calculIaTing and com- paring averages. And people used To say ThaT The CCDS sTudenT wanTed knowledge for its own sake!
