Gould's strategic placing of a flash-bulb in Knowlton's cubicle-light, and many another incident that needs no recording here. Innovations of the winter term included the hour's extra sleep and making of beds, Sundays. R. U. R. was the play, Reed's study the center of newspaper accumulation, the Green Dragon Society the social diversion , Robb the non-stop debating star, Gould the non-stop slider into Brooks House prayers. Also remembered: Willeox's bleats to Salm to cease snowballing his cubicle, and Coe's friendly, cheery Good-night, Gurnee, as he went by after Hundred House prayers. In the spring term eight of you became librarians, The Food Shop opened with impressive ceremony, and flags were captured in the maze. Davison caught a fly in the Tufts Freshman game, not another soul being available by that time to play right field. In the three-day forest fire, Reed vividly recalls his finesse in giving Mr. Thomas a lift in Mr. Robertson's car CMr. Robertson, for all he knew, having been left to burn to a einderj. Not all the adventure of the term was in the fire, though, for Hoyt, Welling, Howe, and Curtis prowled the roofs and lawns of Brooks House at unconventional hours, Mr. Nichols was awakened by realistic bugle-notes, Willcox encountered tonsorial attentions on the form--picnic, and the faculty rolled you in the aisles with The Happy Faculty Hour and Information Please. On the last night Nicodemus led your singing in gestures guaranteed unique in the history of that occasion. Fifth Form year brought Messrs. Comstock, Freiday, Gammons, and Satterthwaite to the faculty, Mr. Strachan was again away. Among the highlights of this term were Mr. Beasley's numerous searches for Vreeland on the tangled slopes of Monadnock, ably assisted by Brassert, Robb's and Coogan's Virginia Reels in Mr. Wright's dorm, Hoyt's blushing interpretation of the true but dry meaning of a sun-dial, Ames's hypnotic eflortsg Curtis's stolid acceptance of a prefcct's three blackmarks, the defeat of St. Marks 26-0, in which encounter Coogan, Crocker, and Robb won letters, Reed's debut as cal-pianist, Davison's and Reed's sensational pull-out, take-out, black-out play in C-team backfield, Willeox's swim with its dire effects on the Grot Room ceiling, and many another easily recalled episode tending to offset the increasing effects of war's shadow over school life. The winter term seems a recurring vision of evenings when Mr. Wright, supervising the popping of corn while he nonchalantly bid and played six hearts, deftly sampled the ehoicest morsels, to exelaim, quietly, hm-hm, as the assembled form awaited this ver- dict of approval amid a breathless hush. The afternoons were given zest by Poillon's dis- pensing of interesting patent medicines to the hockey-squad, while as long as we had river skating, Howe had a superb vanishing act guaranteed by your chronicler to send shivers through any spectator. Mornings in the schoolhouse found the History Department more successful in suiting the subject to the patient, Willcox, than did the Mathematics Department, whose wares were, after all, so obvious. In the spring came the deferred play, Petrified Forest, your first counting dance, fthe censor has been at work upon this part of the manuscriptj, Hoyt's and Howe's subsequent discovery of much good humor, Mr. Thomas's deferred strawberry festival, Chambers' adventures with the out- board motor, and Willeox's natty appearance in impeccable garb for day-labor on Mr. Gallien's Work Squad. Other evidences of the war's impact, incidentally, included air- raid drills, watches on the O.P., a diminution of sugar, entertainment by your form on a May Sunday of forty convalescent soldiers, and bond and stamp sales. This in the main and by and large is the fifth-form history, but for any further detail, look it up in Muzzey. ' THE HISTORY OF OUR FINAL YEAR IS ON PAGE 33. I29 1'
