Along with the other winter events, we managed to work in both the Community Forum and the Dartmouth Concert series. The forum program was high-lighted this year by a debate between Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President of the United States, and Kurt Singer, imminent journalist and correspondent. Their debate was Socialism versus Liberalism. Also tak- ing the rostrum were Dr. Eddy Asvirvatham and Rev. James Robinson,a negro minister in Harlem, who made a particularly impres- sive speech mainly because he presented his convictions from the other side of the fence, so to speak. At Dartmouth, some of us were fortunate enough to hear the Rochester Symphony Orchestra, a piano duet team, and the current popular made singers, the Infan- try Chorus. On the subject of Dartmouth, members of the Fifth and Sixth Forms Eng- lish classes heard the reading of Othello by a Dartmouth professor, Mr. Booth. Winter proceeded into more winter and, as spring vacation neared, we began to won- der where spring was hiding. But once again the school was thrown into a state of turmoil and impending crisis. This time, we had managed to gather among seventy-five students one case of chicken pox, one case of grippe and a case of strep throat. In the course of a week, the library had been con- verted into a ward, and some twenty-five boys were afflicted by one ailment or another. Then, all Mrs. Archibald had to contend with was the Encyclopedia Britannica and twenty- live rather dissipated looking characters. As this yearbook goes to press before the spring term starts, we would like to venture a quick look into the future. Our crystal ball shows us a softly lighted gymnasium as the first strains of the overture of Iolanthe floats through the hall. The figures are not too distinct but some of the voices have a familiar sound. Then the scene changes and we find ourselves at the tennis courts, where we notice some new faces and some old. Bob Bradner, Willy Summers and Bigelow Green appear to be the main threats here. Once more a change of scene takes place and we find ourselves out on the baseball dia- mond, where the grass is green as are most of the players. We notice, in one corner of Held, the four returning lettermen, Bart Chase, Rick Clark, Chris Weld and Harry Piper, standing about admiring the splints on Chris' leg. Then, with one last glimpse at the verdant pastures which surround us, we return to reality. And now, as we speed along the road to Concord in order to meet an early deadline, we close our history with your author, driv- ing with one hand, writing with the other, to end our days. '?r ' e A The end of the day.
