Then, too, we tried our hand at swimming and with a week's practice held a meet with Hackley, in which we were defeated by the narrow margin of one point. The Gymn team fared better. After giving an exhibi- tion, in which Ewing and Rosenbaum carried off the honors, Holbrook was invited to come down and show what they could do on bar and mat. They went back, however, with small satisfaction, smothered by the score of 4Q to 15. Athletics were not our only winter diversions. The histrionic members of the school and faculty vied with one another before the footlights. Pygmalion and Galateaw was produced by the school under the direction of hir. Craig, with Dick Mackenzie and Guy Robinson starring in the title roles. Then, trained by Mr. Trench, the senior masters of Latin, Mathematics and Modern Languages cast aside all dignity for one evening and gave Sullivan's rollicking musical farce, Cox and Box. Both were done exceptionally well and honors were '4easy between school and faculty. Winter has gone and spring is here again. The baseball team has been called out, the track team has begun its outdoor training for the spring meets, the tennis players are on the courts, the motor-cycles are sputtering around, and everybody looks happy, for the hardest part of the year is over and the bright, warm days of May and early June are before us. For us of the graduating class, the road is about to turn into wider fields and broader avenues, leading onward to college or the world of business. Yet this brief glance back over the road we have been traveling for the past seven months shows us how full those months have been-full of life and work. As we moved along from day to day, from week to week, we were barely conscious that those days and weeks were going forever, bearing with them the unchangeable record which must always be one page of our life's retrospect. We believe, however, that this page will be a pleasant one to turn back to, and one to which we of the class of r9o8 can point with honest pride.

J-.1Z1Q-:fi:w:5?-'-- '- --1-ff-, -. -.... -cwu-------- Retrospect To any one passing in front of the school on the 18th of September, 1907, an interesting scene was presented. Parties of two or three, suit-cases in hand, made their way across the lawn to join a noisy group on the esplanade. Each lot of newcomers was met with handshakings, slaps on the back and greetings of, Hello, 'Monkf Here comes 'Shep,' f' or, VVell, if here isn't So-and-So. All were laughing and talking in loud tones. Apparently, the immediate prospect of a busy school year, filled with the daily routine of hard work and constant confinement over dry books, had no depressing effect upon the spirits of the hundred and twenty-five boys who gathered for the opening of school. After everybody had shaken hands with everybody else and looked over the bewildered-looking lot of new boys, football became the one absorbing topic of conversation. The prospects of the team were talked of at length, and the chances of this fellow or that of making the eleven were discussed as though school had convened for no other purpose than to play football. e 4 The next day the squad was on the field and with Sidi' McCreery as captain and Mr. Smith as coach, the slow process of rounding the team into form began. The season had its ups and downs, its victories and defeats, but, on the Whole, we were pretty proud of a team that had, despite an unusual number of injuries to star players, defeated White Plains, Cayuga, Horace Mann, Peekskill and Hackley. During the Fall term there was added to the daily schedule of school activities a new feature, the import- ance of which has grown steadily through the year. This was the military squad, under the direction of Major Physioc. There may have been mutiny in the ranks and sporadic cases of insubordination, but the morale of the corps, viewed retrospectively, has been all, or nearly all, that even Captain Bertrand could wish for. ' The beautiful days of October and November passed all too quickly. The days have gone forever, but time cannot efface the memories We hold of them. The wonderful sunsets over the Palisades, the beautiful landscapes, gorgeous in the red and yellow foliage of autumn, and the clear, crisp nights, with the moonlight shining on the river, can no more be forgotten than described by words. 4 Winter came on and with it a sudden realization that we had hockey and basketball teams that could win games. The track team, also, had a busy winter and brought back cups and medals from several meets. 138 ii..
