the Mound were held, after which the Company marched back to the Town Hall, to storm Bruces' when the 'Company dismissed' command was given. On the traditional-style form picnic at Baddacook, everyone had a wonderful time watching Messrs. Hallowell, Nichols, and Gallien do all the work. Prize Day Exercises were duly awesome, and in the afternoon deGersdorff, Crocker, Coogan, and Russell placed in the track meet. Second Form year opened with Ames, Cabot, Nicodemus, Reed, Treadwell, Tucker, Vreeland, and Witte added to your dwindled ranks, the new faculty faces were Messrs. Iglehart, Moss, and Sullivan, as if this were all not enough excitement for the opening day, the hurricane came the next afternoon to set the tempo of your whole term, really, with its subsequent days of floods, blisters, clearing of trees and bushes, and the minor casualties of Mr. Hallowell on crutches and of Vreeland's exacting his ounce of flesh from Russell. You were now fanatic yo-yoers, even entering a contest at Bruces'g those of you who were second Monadnocks fought under White helmets CDavison, exasperated: Reed, do you know ONE play? Reed: Yes. Which one? I've forgotten it. D, you fought a plague of mosquitoes, the result of hurricane-stump puddles, while the upper forms fought fires in the School's first Fire-Fighters' Reserve Unit. The tempo continued as Ames knocked out Coogan in M. T. class, Gould was ejected by Mr. Thomas fWhy didn't you say so in the first place?J, Mr. Robertson shadow-boxed a fire effectively with his extinguisher, Coe nocturnally molested Davison and Kingsford, Ames spanked Roosevelt once a week for the latter's shouts of father, father, and Roosevelt proved to Mr. Moss that twice nothing was two cats, while Ames, Cabot, and Vreeland had a marine engagement in Mr. Moore's lavatory. With the defeat of St. Marks 26-20, foot- ball gave place to soccer, the new field was begun, Hallowe'en brought its feast, a lunar eclipse proved to be small cosmic stuff after a hurricane, the new marking system was introduced, and Mr. Strachan was soon giving the Thanksgiving Day address, this time to a wiser form, who had almost without exception in one short year discovered a crop of near-relatives in the Boston area. You were learning. After Mr. Gardner's birthday, the term raced on to the Dramat's Twelfth Night, in which Russell starred as Olivia. Coogan made the pages of the Weekly, twice this time: Cudolls lie in disorder all over the dismal place, nobody cares about them- D. So busy were you in the winter term getting out a Chronicle that you scarcely noticed the succession of bizarre trial lighting effects in the chapel, the founding of the Band in the Dome, the opening of Bruces' branch office in the Stationery Store, or the spirit-movements of Mr. Thomas's annex table, as Curtis innocently munched on. So many of you were oFf-ex in January that the Peabodys opened their hospitable parlor to you for aftemoon use. Your present reporter's review of The Bishop Misbehavesn included the following significant account of a new-kid who was to become President of the Dramat: Cabot should go far-etc. On February 25th, after dinner, Bishop Lawrence as Presi- dent of the Board of Trustees announced the unanimous approval by them of the Rector's resignation, to take place in June of your Third Form Year. The spring term brought its holidays, canoe-trips on which Howe did ape-acts, nigger-baby games tough on Ames, who, however, seemed to avenge all, illogically enough, by nearly drowning Mr. Nichols on the form-picnic. In the literary world, Crocker tear- fully insisted to Mr. Dick that it was Yose-mite, while Robb on another occasion in the same locale was pathetically forgotten and left standing in a corner while the next class trooped in and laughed, resulting somehow in Robb's departing with four blackmarks. But Vreeland redeemed the class in the Prize Day Weekly: a horrible feeling of guilt l24l
