HEINZE Edifor in Chief Buwineazr JIanagcr THE CHEVRON 1943 PRESENTED by THE SENIOR CLASS 0f DE VEAUX SCHDUI NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. FDREWURD Four N spite of the difficulties imposed upon us by the severe nature of the present period, we, the senior class of DeVeauX School, have nevertheless undertaken to present the 1943 edition of The Chevron. Rather than forego our privilege of editing the year book, we, by enthusiasm and interest, managed to temper somewhat the unusually arduous problems of publication due to wartime restrictions. Adjusting our publication to the times, we have featured the military aspect of school life to a greater degree than have previous classes. We have revived some features of former year books which enjoyed a certain amount of popularity in lieu of presenting material of a repetitious nature. Our cover design and makeup are innovations in Chevron history. Some sections of the book will be somewhat smaller as a result of curtailment of certain activities due to the present emergency. However, we feel confident that we have pro- duced a book competent of favorable comparison with the best works of preceeding Classes. The task of producing our book was shared by the Class as a whole. It is truly representative of DeVeaux life and worthy of DeVeauX School. To Mr. Hudson, Mr. Hays, and to those who have given us monetary assistance in any manner, we extend our hearty thanks. We fully appreciate the fact that without the aid of our advertisers V and the advice of our headmaster and Class advisor our Chevron could never have taken form. DEDICATIBN FRANK D. HAYS AS a gesture of our gratitude for his understanding, counsel, guid- ance, patience, and assistance in the solution of both scholastic and personal problems, we, The Class of 1945, proudly dedicate this volume of THE CHEVRON t0 the man who has served as our friend and advisor, Mr. Frank D. Hays. Five Six ALMA MATH! DE VEAUX, our Alma Mater, Of thee we sing. Go forth to battle mighty Ever to win. Our thoughts are ever with thee, May our motto be: Fortiter, Fideliter, Feliciter, we ring Our pledge of loyalty. DeVeaux, thy bugle calls us, Union our aim. By worth we merit favor, Hail to thy name. We gain by what we give, May thy symbols reign: Fortiter, Fideliter, Feliciter, we march And make our motto live. WILLIAM STUBER HUDSON, Headmawler VER since he started as a Cadet at DeVeaux School, William Stuber Hudson has gradually Climbed up in position until he now has reached the Headmastership of his and our Alma Mater. Undoubtedly he has found that mere routine duties of the Headmaster are many and profoundly complex. Despite this fact and the fact that he has been hindered by illness in his family several times during the year, he has capably fulfilled his new duties as Headmaster, Chaplain, and Instructor. Mr. Hudson has also engineered several improvements in the school buildings as well as in disciplinary matters. His success this year has insured many more years of the same. We, the Class of 1945, wish to thank Mr. Hudson for the aid and friendship he has given us this year, and extend our hearty wishes for future success in ad- ministrative and personal endeavors.

Km IN MEMORIAM CAPTAIN JOHN EMERSON Commandanl 0f Cadeltr March, 1942 to March, 1945 APTAIN JOHN EMERSON came to our school in 1942 as Commandant and instructor of military science. He soon corrected our lax attitude toward drill and introduced first-aid and brief speeches on current military news to lighten the dreary winter drill sessions. This year he continued with this good work by preparing the older boys for their future life with Uncle Sam. We eighteen-year- olds didnt know it at the time, but we were being taught the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship by the former rifle and pistol Champion of the United States Army. The loss of Captain Emerson comes back with a distinct shock when, as we look out our dormitory windows, just before drill call every afternoon, we no longer see his familiar stride coming down the walk from Lewiston Road. We cadets have suffered a great loss of not only a clever instructor but of a truly fine friend.

M. Ansteth, whose long-term sentence at the Alma Mater has almost gained to him the dub Of a Hlifer. Behind him 'tDob leaves several coveted positions and an enviable record. Perhaps the assets, other than his achievements, by which we shall remember Snoox most are those qualities of personality and Character. His sincerity and fairness have won for him our affirmed confidence and esteem. Those cynical, yet humorous, remarks of his will be among our Cherished memories. When Bob joins the Old Boy tand other; ranks after Founderts Day, he carries along our best wishes, and by living up to all our expectancies he should be a Classic combination of what the angel factory is turning out under wartime conditions.

Although his stay has been relatively short, he has become a well-liked friend of all the fellows. Big John has a grin on his face from reveille t0 taps, which I am sure is one reason why he will go a long way in life. John is not a super student, but his persistence and willingness to learn makes him liked by all the Masters. This summer Hudy,l plans to join the U. S. armed forces and whether it is the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps which he chooses, we are sure he will get ahead fast and go to the top of the ladder. D. A. D.

Cowtt Cow has been a great addition to DeVeaux School since his entrance last September. He is weH-liked by everyone. His star doesnyt shine too brightly in the scholastic side of school, but his naturalness and most especially his personality will carry him through his whole life with a maximum of happiness. For his jovial person- ality is almost one of the trade-marks 0f DeVeauX. The quality of being good-natured and still forgetful of an un- pleasant event at certain times is one of the most difficult things for our sensitive temperaments to carry out. It goes without saying that Cow is blessed with this quality possessed by few. I am sure that Bob will keep steadily climbing up and up all through his life. W. W.

DICK The impression one would form upon meeting Paul Benton Dickerson is not a criterion by which one can always expect Dick to govern himself. His choir-boy face is only the mask behind which mischievious pranks are devised. His apparent disregard for the rules of society lend a unique air to his manners. Boys flnd him a regular fellow. Girls find him facinating. In our farewell to a fine person, we, the class of 313, wish you every success. We leave you confident that the strength of character and personality which you possess will enable you to take every problem of life in stride. E. F .

LUCKY I became acquainted with this fellow shortly after his entrance into DeVeaux this past January. His winning smile and engaging personality have won him a host of friends. He is better known among the fellows as Lucky, due to his ability to drive without an accident. Dean is a constant source of laughter, since he knows all the latest jokes. He has one pleasure Which exceeds the rest, that being flying. He recently obtained his pilotts license after passing a strenuous test. To help make his flying ability useful to the nation he joined the Civilian Air Patrol. Lucky, who is never in a hurry and always ready to have fun, will enjoy life very much. I. E. C.

SHORTY liShut that fat trap of yoursl This remark has, in the past year, become a well known one as a resu1t 0f the activities of Depew,s one and only contribution to DeVeaux. Although at times Shorty tends to be easy going and lacka- daisicaL nevertheless he is usua11y an energetic and industrious worker. Always having a friendly remark for anyone he meets, Shorty has won many friends about the athletic field. We Will all be part- ing from our fellow-classmates this year but I doubt if many will ever forget a certain prominent man-about-the-campus bearing the official title of Ernest F eher. P. B. D. Ssazntcen DALE QUENTIN GALLAHUE 1945 dchlevemenhr: Chevron Slaf, Reporier 4; DeVeauxm'an Slaf, Reporter 4. aDALE A ready smile and a cheery word in a deep voice have come to mean that one Dale Gallahue is present. He informs us he has never been too good at athletics outside of figure skating, but he has gone out for tennis this spring. As far as studies g0, Dale has proven himself to be a fair, conscientious student, and although Physics has sometimes floored him, nevertheless, he has always come back trying harder than ever. It is this last trait that we know will Carry him to success in the future and we wish him all the luck in the world. C. M. S.

Dontt ask him if he is any relation to the famous 357 brothers because the following Monday you will flnd yourself the point of some biting satire written as only Ray Heinze, 44545 cynic and satirist, can write it. However, Ray3s true personality is not reflected in his writing. Knowing Ray as I do, I Will attempt to sketch my impres- sion of him. He is amiable without being personal; Clever without being ostentatious ; sincere without being overbearing. Your material gains may come to naught, Ray, but, you have one possession which none can take, that being the friendship of your Classmates. R. T. T.

A majority of the time this confession comes from Arthur, but he should receive credit for being quick to admit his error and glad to forget the incident. He does have his depressed moods, the same as the rest of us, but he usually manages to remain in a happy state of mind and to try to spread this feeling iwith a smile. Itts really a shame that Art didn,t come to the Alma Mater before his senior year, but he has certainly done all right as a rookie and has been a welcome addition to the Class Of 713. T. M. W.

' DICKIE Well stranger, as the crow flies Lakewood is about, but at this point the conversation abruptly ends as the disgusted driver pulls away. But from this thriving suberb of Jamestown comes Dick Klock, Who, by his hard earned scholastic and athletic achievements, has earned a position of high respect among the cadets. John, with his amiable smile, good natured personality and high appreciation for the finer arts had made himself well liked both on and off the campus. N0 roommate could ask for a better friend. We all wish Dick the best of luck for his future career in the Army Air Corps and we feel certain that his fine traits of Character will carry him to greater success in the outside world. L. H. P.

IIT- 1.1! Even though cries of technocrat have assailed him from all sides during this year, Tom Lauroesch has stood the gaff of such remarks quite honorably. When he isntt slightly perturbed as a result of having been queried unmercifully by one or several liberal artists or the math or science teachers, T. I. is practically cognate to his fellow-classmen. Sometimes he even offers subtle little quips com- parable in degree of satire to those of several of his outstanding adversaries. Although he has not succeeded in many of his endeavors, as he readily admits and regrets, Tom will indubitably be able to make his existence happy for himself and at least endurable the majority of the time for those with whom he comes in contact.

PHIUi This amicable, robust, sincere, well-meaning fellow has made a determined effort in the field of athletics. He is a game fighter, as shown by his willingness to fight on through the last moment of defeat. Always hurrying, always full of fun, yet possessing pertinacity, Phil is sure to gain friends. A joke or quip is always on the tip of his tongue. He has a pleasing personality, which combines readily with his other Characteristics. Phil is a good all-around fellow. He is a good dancer, which makes him very popular in the social world. Phil plans to enter the Marines this year, after his graduation, but we feel that wherever he goes, he will become a success. W.

HHOOT Not so long ago, only two years to be exact, the day boys of the Class of i413 were increased in number by one William Ortt, commonly known as Hoot? This very nonchalant but persistent individual showed great interest in photography as a Junior and was an active member of the DeVeauxnian Staff. Unlike the common rookie he had an exceptionally fine record in the line of delinquent reports and thus, returning for his Senior year, he found himself promoted to the rank of a Cadet Corporal. This year he very aptly held the position of Circulation Manager of both the DeVeauxnian and the Chevron. Graduating this year, Billtt has plans to become a Chemical engineer unless Uncle Sam interferes. P. R. M. Twenlywjaur LEON HOLMAN PRATT 1959-1945 dchieuementr: Chevron Slaf, dJerlriani Sport?

LEE Itts about five miles from Hartford, issues from his lips as he vainly tries to convince somebody that he really is from a town and not from a farm. Although Lee is very shy with the opposite sex he certainly isntt with the boys here at school. Because of the lack of bad temper, and because of his willingness to help others, ttHans is undoubtedly the most popular cadet in the whole schooleand has been for the last couple of years. Hans22 will be visiting Uncle Sam very soon after graduation. As he has made a success of h?mself at DeVeaux, so he will in the Army. Good Luck, Leon! R. N. K.

SQUEEK Bill Reid joined the Cadet Corps at DeVeaux last January. He has become an outstanding member of his Class and an ardent sup- porter of school activities. 'tSqueek, as he has come to be called at DeVeauX, is a likable fellow. Before he came to DeVeauX he was well known for his knowledge of social mannerisms, which he has developed through years of friendly contacts with old and young alike. Squeek, with his broad shoulders, dashing personality and his ever-glowing sense of humor, has turned many a girlish eye. Bill, like many of the senior Class is listed for the Armed Services after graduation. We at DeVeaux are proud to have Bill among us and we are sure his prominent scholastic standing and friendly attitude toward all will carry Bill through. R. M. C.

W hen we think of The Farmer we cannot help but remember tnot that he would let us forget even if we wanted toi his admirers among the fairer sex. Except for an occassional display of an attitude of indifference, Carl is usually quite amiable and has a rather rustic smile on his Visage. We are certain, Carl, that the brief college career you intend to enter upon shortly after your graduation will be as successful as the one you have enjoyed at DeVeauX. D. Q. G.

I'ITOMIJ IrTom entered DeVeaux in his junior year, and from that time on has done well for himself. Although Reggie doesntt profess to possess knowledge of mathematics, his knowledge concerning literature and the liberal arts has amazed many a master and student alike. In fact when Tom starts to prattle about Boccacio,s uDecameron, Classic mythology and the like, most of us hide our heads in our ignorance. Tom, as well as being this years foremost exponent and champion of the liberal arts, is an able athlete and officer also. This year he played on all three major athletic teams and in a military way has proven an able 2nd Lieutenant. If Tom continues to do as well in the armed service as he has done at DeVeaux, he cannot help but succeed. R. C. H.

DKOUSE The consummation of Mousets career at DeVeaux came with his enlistment in the United States Army Air Corps in March, 1945. Subsequent happenings in his life bear out that fact, which we at DeVeaux have always known, namely that Marsh would persevere in any undertaking he might attempt. Although never noted for his industriousness nlVlouseH has always had ability along natural lines, being perpetually fitted for a life of social contacts. Possessing an inherent amount of intelligence and a truly quick and Clever tongue Marshall waded through his boyhood years. Enlistment in a mans Army requires a mants outlook on life. We feel Mouse has that outlook. The greatest tribute, which we can offer to our first Classmate to enter the Armed Forces is a realiza- tion that here is a boy who always was a man. A. R. J. $U. S.

KORWIN, BELL. i CLASS OF 1944 UPON your return to the Alma Mater at the beginning of the next school year, it will be the duty and privilege of each member of your class to accept his small part in the responsible leadership of the Cadet Corps as Seniors. Your conduct and efforts will not be as strictly checked by the faculty, and it is your job to discipline yourselves and in doing so to set examples for the classes below you. If you are successful in this respect, you will find it much easier in in- fluencing others to maintain the standards set by you and the classes preceding yours. The curriculum of your Senior year will undoubtedly try your patience and ability, but do not become discouraged! Once you have become accustomed to the seemingly insoluble complexities which will be ever-present, you will be surprised to discover that you would not be ready to dispose of these difficulties even if the opportunity were to arise. It is going to be a sort of pleasure to have to think for yourselves a majority of the time and to thus be instrumental in regulating the general conduct, discipline, and attitude of the Corps of Cadets. CLASS OF 1945 THERE comes the time of year when some senior must write to one of the Classes under him. It is usually some form of advice which is generally read and then passed off without any more thought. However, we hope that you, the Class of 45, will heed these words. You are in the midst of the most constructive period of your lives. Here at school you must build foundations which will support you throughout lifeea task difficult in the times which are sure to follow this war. As the sophomore Class, you have begun to feel the responsibility forclasses under you. You will feel it even more next year, and, finally, in your senior year, the whole school will look to you for leadership. We, the seniors, have faith that you will do this job well. You are building your mental foundation now-with English, History, and Math, and probably your social foundations as well. Don,t forget to laugh, overcome obstacles, and make friends. But all this must be cemented with a spiritual foundation which, too, can be gained here. The opportunities to acquire these are what make DeVeaux outstanding. Realize that and profit.

Thz'rty- lwo CLASS OF 1946 WITH the passing of Foundefs Day and the beginning of a new year, members of the Freshmen Class emerge from the obscurity of under class activities to attain prominence on the campus. Your new position somewhat bewilders you, but donit give up striving, even for a moment. The more determinedly you meet your present problems, the easier these next three years will be. Be not content to follow the example of the Seniors, hut aim to do better. The Senior leaves school with a lump in his throat. Before leaving he likes to he sure that his successors will carry on with the same unselfish, determined spirit that enables DeVeaux to retain its rightful place among the Prep. schools of the Nation. This responsibility will lie with you soon. Now is the time to make yourselves worthy to carry on. This can he done by spending more time studying, and in extra-curricular activities. Extra time spent in this manner will be well rewarded in later life. But not all the stress should be put on school activities. At the beginning of this new era a change will take place within each member of the Freshman Class; he will begin to realize the importance of his responsibility and will become more mature. Truly the Freshman inherit a degree of prominence and they should strive to make it more pronounced. IDWER SCHHHL AT the present stage of your lives, your interest is held more by airplanes, blowing bugles and learning the rudiments of games than by your academic work, all of which is natural. Indulge in all outside activities possible without neglecting school work for an early knowledge of likes and dislikes in extracur- ricular activities will pay dividends in time saved later. Enjoy every moment ofyour face time for as you grow older and advance in school you will find many hitherto open opportunities no longer available. The studies which you now toil over are essential in that a comprehensive understanding of your work now will make your later subjects much easier. Don,t fail to do your duty now and regret it later. We hope that you all realize what is ahead ofyou and the numerous difficulties which will undoubtedly confront you. We have been through those years and have solved those problems. We offer you the solutions. Heed our advice and we are sure you too, like us, will feel, on the culmination of your school life, that you are prepared to meet what lies ahead. Take it, use it, it is the least we can do for the future leaders of our Alma Mater. BACK ROW: PRICE, WADSWORTH, MACBRIEN, MANZEL, IRVIN, MATsoN, BURHYTE, GLOSSER, PETTiT.

He got no farther, for, in view of our old school friendship, I ordered him to relax and stand at ease. At first he did not recognize me. No doubt the 3 stars gleaming on my shoulder straps confused him, but presently he realized to whom he was speaking and told me Why he had sought an interview with so important a person as yours truly, Lt. General R. C. Heinze. I looked at the strange apparatus Lauroesch had placed nearby on the table and wondered if it would work. Only one way to find outl. Pvt. Lauroesch flicked the switch and we eagerly peered into the viewplate. First swaying palm trees and sparkling blue-green waves breaking upon a beach of shining yellow sand met our view. A small platoon of infantry was plodding along the beach with Lt. Ernest Feher in charge. At the tail end of the motley crew Sgt. Meredith loped along. Needless to say a goodly CU crowd of grass-skirted Polynesian beauties followed the irresistable CU combination, but Pvt. Lauroesch and I, breathing a silent prayer for the dusky members of the weaker sex, passed on to the next scene. Our startled gaze fell upon a very amazing scene. A handsome crimson- haired major, whose wiry locks in days of yore had ruined many a pair of stainless steel barbers shears, hurtled through space in a P-59 on the tail of 6 or 7 Zeros. The Zeros exploded and Maj or Watt, with but a cursory glance in their direction, sped on into the distance. The next scene to appear before our eyes was the company street of a southern army camp. In the middle of the street a perspiring exasperated corporal was vainly trying to teach 2 very awkward rookies the fundamentals of drill. The tall fellow with the curly blond hair couldntt seem to execute about face correctly. This was apparently due to the fact that he had once been cadet captain at some obscure military school and never had had occasion to make use of that particular movement. He also protested the fact that all good privates were expected to attend prayers at least 3 times a week. His companion, who at one time had been lst sergeant at some pseudo-military school, was smoking a big black Cigar and insisted upon addressing Corporal Chudy as Hey, you in a Connecticut accent. We were so amazed at the next scene that we had to look twice before we could believe our eyes. 80 it was true after all. There he wasl Captain Thomas Tefft, instructing a Class at his Alma Mater in the rudiments of'tPIain Geometry and serving as commandant as well. At first I wondered why he wasnit on active duty and then remembered that he had been wounded in combat. A VVAAC 5rd officer had knocked 2 of his teeth out. By this time the machine seemed to be wearing out. At first it appeared to have broken down for a character attired in a yellow sports coat, purple slacks, violet shirt, mauve socks, and tan shoes stood before our eyes in the viewplate. At first we couldn't imagine who he was but when we saw a ,40 Oldsmobile, a twisted and charred wreck in the gutter nearby, we knew that it was Hoot Ortt, speed demon and erstwhile photographer. Hoot was arguing with a queer looking character, who, although he was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps tthe Marine Corps was evidently hard up for officersi, had a distinct air of the barnyard about him. Yes indeed. It was the farmer himself. Carl was trying to tell Bill that Jeannie was much prettier than a girl friend of Bills. In order to refute Carlis claim Hoot produced a snapshot of the lucky CU woman but as it was overexposed and underdeveloped tthe printenot the girD nothing was settled. We left the quarreling pair to gaze at the interior ofa church where a wedding had just been solemnized. A whisper from a pew in the rear of the church in- formed us that Mrs. Reid's little boy, Billie, was the victim. The happy couple made a pretty picture framed under the crossed broom handles of Pvt. Reid's fellow yardbirds. Bill was wearing a khaki creation, the latest thing in Washington, and his bride wore a wedding dress made of some new fabric which closely resembled burlap. In fact the strange letters PtOtTtAtTtOtEtS were apparently embroidered across the front of the gown. Hardly had we sated our gaze upon this vision of loveliness CD when the ocean appeared and an American cruiser hove into sight. On the bridge a familiar figure was pacing back and forth conferring with his stafiF officers. It was none other than Captain Dickerson and Lt. Commanders Ansteth and Gallahue meditating as to what they should have done to 5 rebellious seamen, viz: Art Johnson, Bob Cowdrick, and Dean Drew. We could hear Capt. Dickerson as he sealed the fate of the luckless trio, HI tell you Commander, the only thing wrong with those birds is that they dont appreciate good food. Back in Tennessee we never feed our slaves. Take them to the torture chambers and tell the officer in charge to put them on a tDeVoe Dietf They,ll starve in a month. I turned off the machine. To think some people could sink so low as to torture their men like that. Pvt. Lauroesch certainly could be thankful that I didntt treat my men that way, thought I, as I took the whip down from its rack, began to beat him severely. I had had a busy day and needed relaxation. R.

There is no doubt that it compares favorably with the previous volumes and we hope that it will be considered superior to them by all its readers. We feel that this CHEVRON has been improved by obvious innovations, such as the substitution of 3 Diary for the usual Class Will and Testament. Then, too, we have been fortunate in having an excellent Advisor, an above- average Editorial Stag, and a resourceful and efficient Business Staff. This year-book was made possible by the keen interest and constant supervision of Mr. Hays, by the fine efforts of Editor-in-Chief Ansteth, aided by Editor Klock, R. and Associate Editor Teftt, in the composing 0f the book, and by the successful endeavors to finance the publication by Business Manager Heinze, C. and Adver- tising Manager Dickerson, P.

Vol. XXXIX FEBRUARY 22. 1943 I'brly- U1 rec 1 urly-fnur CHOIR S Old Boys look back over their days at DeVeaux, many of them remember the Choir as the outstanding organization in the school. This group during the thirteen years under Mr. IWartin has continued to grow in popularity and has presented an ever increasing number of anthems not only on Sundays but on other occasions outside the school as well. Boys who have sung in the Choir for even one year have had from that time on, a sort of loyalty for the Choir which lasts long after they have left the portals 0f the school. For many of these boys entered the group as sopranos, went on to tenors, and finally graduated as basses, having a hner appreciation of music than they had when they started. To them the Choir means a great many pleasant memories. The highlights of the Choir year are the Candlelight Service and Founders, Day where the efforts of the boys culminate in the presentation of special music. Of course we should not fail to mention the Choir supper which is known through- out the school as the feed of the year, and to which every Choir boy looks forward to from the time school starts in the Fall. Credit should be given here to Mr. Martin for turning out such a fine group this year and for showing them the patience and attention that he has. UTTLE THEATRE HIF MEN PLAYED CARDS As WOMEN Do.

The former method of select- ing the Student Council members proving unsatisfactory, the Cadet representa- tives were elected by popular vote entirely this year. Several weighty problems which had direct bearing on the welfare of the school were presented to the Student Council for mediation and decision. The conclusions which the Student Council arrived at and the judgement shown by the Council qualify it as one of the most active Student Organization to serve in recent years. It is a sincere hope that subsequent Student Councils tind the same cooperative faculty spirit which enabled this year to be so successful.

S. vs. Park . . . . . IeO ALTHOUGH the Soccer season for the fall semester this year was extensively curtailed by government suggestions and patriotic response from the schools, the war-time rationing did not limit excitement and a good helping was enjoyed in each of the few games. Organization and training of the athletes began early, as usual, and the intro- duction of new personalities, including that of the coach, started the season under way. Mr. Mat Korwin, with the assistance of several veterans, most noteworthy being Hands Pratt, made extensive efforts to condition and train his Panzer units. How successful he was is a matter of opinion. First game on the schedule was a lively battle against Nichols, and although the efforts of each side were valiant, it ended in a lfl tie, unable to be broken in the overtime period. Next came Park and another thriller; offlcial conclusion, 1A1 tie again. And who can forget the suspense when the Buffalonians were awarded their free-boot in the overtime? Yes, they missed and another tie went down in the books. The third and final game of the season was against Park on the home grounds and these results were favorable, 170 being the score at the final whistle of another exciting scramble.

BASKETBALL AT the conclusion of the fall Soccer campaign, the DeVeaux Basketball en- thusiasts began their winter sports. As long shots drifted into the basket from quartercourt, and close-up shots dropped in with precision, a rather inex- perienced but hard-fighting aggregation was slowly being moulded into a co- Operative unit. At the announcement of the Basketball schedule, DeVeaux found itself on the short end of the City League, a position Which it held along with embarassment and humiliation. But sparked by Captain Tom Tth, the cagers showed they had the stuff even in the face of overwhelming odds. Fifty-an e BASEBALL ttWHAT has eighteen legs and catches flies?U A Baseball team of course. And what would spring at DeVeaux be without the usual campaign on the diamond? Well, thatts What the boys asked and although the situation in the field of sports offered what seemed to be only fruitless opportunities the rising interest of the boys in said sport demanded its organization. Under the direction of Coaches Ozanne and Anthony the members of the squad have daily been striving for berths 0n the team, And in no vain efforts either, has the squad been training; for, prospects of several games are at hand. It is with little pleasure however, that we are able to say the season has not been under way long enough for us to disclose results.

Thatts the type of kidding the fellows 0n the tennis squad had to bear in their early days of toil. As proposed by Mr. Martin and enthusiastically CD supported by members of the squad, renovation of several of the courts was undertaken immediately after the beginning of Spring sports. The results to date are at least improve- ments over the hitherto pathetic condition of the courts. The worn spots and small depressions have been filled, the grass, weeds, and stones have been removed, and one court completely resurfaced. If proper maintenance is provided, the courts should be in excellent playing condition for use during the Summer. We regret that circumstances do not allow us to make any report on the selection of a team or on whatever schedule, if any, has been planned.
