Chapel Committee The Chapel Committee was formed so that services might be run more smoothly than they had been in the past. We played an active part in every service, straightening up the books, and posting the psalm and hymn numbers. Our main object was to make sure the boys entered the chapel in an orderly fashion and were dressed neatly. This allowed the services to start without delay. We would like to thank the boys for the cooperation they have shown us. .llr. :l'I1'f.il'!lI'lfI'll. llrbanzl. Savage, VanVorst. Front row-Braun, Croth. The Head Waiters This year the first Contribution the head wait- ers made to ease the work of the waiters was to abolish the disciplinary measures of giving extra weeks and giving hours. lnstead. the boys were given tables to wipe off after the meals. We found that these methods of discipline were most effec- tive and agreeable to the waiters. Our job this year was to keep order in the dining hall and the kitchen. The head waiters were six seniors head- ed bv Bill Ballantine. Vile worked in pairs throughout the year. Wilmont, Ballantine, Silber, Holahan, Grout, Stiassni, Werlvick. Front row-Savage, Daz!

The library is in the possession of many Shaker letters and books. This year an effort was made to collect old pictures and books per- taining to Darrow. We hope that the new library will allow adequate space to exhibit these pic- tures. letters, and books. Vl7e look forward to the new library which will allow the adequate space for the general collection, exhibits, research, and the periodical collection. missing, . Larson, Robertson. t .4 n derxon

Social Committee Mrs. Heyniger displayed wonderful skill in handling the Social Committee this year, and we are indebted to her for the successful school par- ties. Chairman Smith Robertson and the rest of the committee rendered help in every way pos- sible to make the dances the successes that they were. The boys were invited to several girls' schools including Miss Hallis, Emma Willard, and Foxhollow and returned this hospitality with a number of dances here at Darrow. As a grand finale to our successful year, Darrow again spon- sored the ever-popular May Invitation Prom. McGee, Auchinnloss, and customer. The School Store This year the Darrow School Store has an all time high in efficiency. Through the able man- agement of Mr. Mahnken and .lohn Horwitz, we have more than a sufficient amount of supplies can make more sales at a faster rate. On account of the new location of the store in the remodeled basement of Wickersham House, we have more space to store more articles. Working with us this year were three freshmen. Since we gave these boys an early start, we are sure that the sto:-e will continue to be a success. AQ... Powers, Henderson, Watkins, Cette. Front row-Haight, Mrs. Heyrug er, Robertson. The Milk Bar The Milk Bar is located in the basement of the chapel and sells such things as ice cream, candy, soup, spaghetti, and milk. Under the pro- prietorship of Sloan Auchincloss and his assist- ant Jerry McGee, the Milk Bar became an active part of the school. This year it was repainted and the furniture was revarnished. We are deeply grateful to Mr. Heyniger who made this improve- ment possible. We hope that the Milk Bar will continue to be an important asset to the school, as it has been this year.
