Acfiviiies e 1 This year has been one of great activity in the grades. With the reorganization of the Art Department under Mrs. Walker, the assembly hall has been the scene of weekly exhibits of the efforts of her students. At an exhibition and tea held in December, parents and friends of the students were delighted with the line work in arts and crafts done by the younger children. Mrs. Walker's demonstration of finger painting made many in the audience wish that they were sixth graders once more, having the oppor- tunity to do such fascinating things. During the winter season the sixth grade and Forms I and II were instructed in social dancing under the direction of Mrs. Albert Zang, accompanied by the rhythms of Miss Salvo. The series of lessons culminated in a tea dance held in March. The little folks' Christmas Nativity Pageant was presented on Tuesday, December l5th, directed by Mrs. Pierpont, Miss Trecartin, and Mrs. Carpenter, while the story of the Nativity was read by Mrs. Carlson. The kindergarten and connecting-class repre- sented angels and shepherds, and the first grade comprised the chorus. Individual parts were as follows: Mary--Virginia Lee Peters, Joseph-Bruce Fenn, Speaking Angel- Corrie Latimer, Speaking Shepherd-Phillip Upham, and Boy with a Lamb-James Mitchell. A snow sculptoring contest early in March presented unusual sights about the grounds where snow dogs gamboled and the Hamden Hall seal, seeming to slip from the post, was so well reproduced in snow that it was judged the winner. Between morning classes the high school is inclined to stop at the door to watch the kindergarten and connecting-class at rhythms, directed by Mrs. Carpenter. At noon the clanging of cymbals and jingling of tambourines resound through the assembly hall as the childrens orchestra practices. Sixfy-rzx

Lower School Sporis BASEBALL ' The lower school baseball team, directed by Mrs. Delano, has spent a modified sea- son so far. Because there are no teams of a corresponding age level in other schools, the girls have been forced to engage in only intramural competition. Informal practice has helped to develop a greater proficiency in the sport and has led to many exciting games with the boys' teams. i Fira! Row: Boorsch, Herrington, Captain Adams, Moore, Beach, Crane. Second Razr: Budge, Wilson, Saner, Mrs. Delano. MIDGET FOOTBALL gg g The Green and Gold waved highest this year over the Midget Team, composed of boys in the fifth grade through Form II. After a defeat in their first game, the pow- erful little team, under Captain Neclerio, quarterback, surged ahead to win all the remaining games of the season, concluding triumphantly to capture the championship in the Connecticut Private School Athletic League. High scorer for the team was Bill Murray. The cup now so proudly held ' by the Midgets represents their hard work Fin! Row: Gartland, G. Murray, Brewster, Captain R.

BASEBALL The Midget- Baseball team, under the l direction of Mr. Ernest Russ, has embarked i upon an active season more quickly than any other school team. If the team con- tinues to progress as it has, we will expect great victories in the future. The scores of games so far have been as follows: the first game with Unquowa, 9 to 6, their favor, the second game with Unquowa, 16 to 15, their favor, and the eight-inning game with Orange, 7 to 6, our loss by a very slim ' margin.
