Emergency Aciiviiies The Canteen Aides are expected to give voluntary hours and at any time to be ready where and when they are needed. While in training the girls have had talks on nutrition by Mrs. Ahlberg and on public health and sanitation by Erick Moore. They have served two excellent dinners at the school and two teas at the Hamden Red Cross Center. On Friday, January 15, these canteen girls were graduated to full aides: Peggy Wilson, Rosamond Hammer, Dorothy Solakian, Shirley Kjeldsen, Beatrice Brodner, Joan Kelly, Helen Fox, Joan Rice, Bernice Neumann, Betty Christensen, Mary Condon, Sally Godwin, Betsey North, Phyllis Bellin, Marilyn DeWolf, and Miss Young. Mrs. Taylor was our capable leader, with Miss Young as her assistant and Betty Christensen as captain of the group. Acfiviiy Program For many years the pupils at Hamden Hall have shared in taking care of many small jobs usually termed work but since it is done in the best of good company can be more adequately called happy activity. At ten minutes after three of any school after- noon the school suddenly becomes a whirlpool of flying mops and brooms. Out of all this bustle and rushing around our ideal is to find the entire school building swept and dusted and each child able to check with himself and say, There, that is done . We hope it is. Anyway we have a good time participating. Page Twenty-One

Those on the team were Captain Charles Berlepsch, Victor Anderson, Howard Lackman, Bob Neumann, Charles Sloatman, Howard Nielson. Bill Duffy, George Fouser, Dave Miller, Lewis Rashmir, Fred Colburn, Bill Matthies, and Stanley Simons. The able direction and excellent coaching of Mr. Edward D. Small of Arnold College was appreciated by all the boys. JUNIOR FOOTBALL Under the competent direction of Mr. Peter Tileston the junior Football Team had a very successful season this year.
