'25 BALDVVIN GRIFFIN, EDITORIALS ADVICE TO THOSE VVHO How to do well in your college studies. If you want to do well in your college, you must begin well. The First f-our weeks' work cannot be thoroughly done unless you are present at every recitation and listen attentively. You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if you are to succeed. The best brain in the World is one that learns quickly and keeps what it gets, for- ever. ARE TO ENTER COLLEGE. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the greatest thing to get in college is the trained capacity for niental labor rapid, intense and sustaining. 'Do not let anything break your schedule off work. Study the lesson as a Whole, then analyze it carefully. Visualize, work with con- centration. Assume the attitude you would have if you Were' playing tennis, basket' ball or football. THE SPY 9 'A Word from the Principal Another school year draws to its close, In a few more short hours many happy pass through the portals of the their way to a joyous vacation. will have heavy hearts for they know that they will never again return as students to the familiar halls. Father Time is an arbitrary old master and his dictates in the change in the affairs of mortals know no compromises. Once there was a famous Greek philoso- pher-Heraclitus, who propounded the doctrine that the explanations of all things mortal were found in Change. llllodern times have accepted that ancient thought in the terms of the theory of evolution. Noth- ing mortal remains stationary. It is either advance or retreat, progress or deteriorate. Progress is largely conditioned upon our education, as to the things have been, with a prophetic things that are to be. The anticipates the changes and faces will school on But some training-our that are and vision of the trained mind readily attunes itself to the newer condi- tions of progress. If this education is tempered with common sense and sharp- ened with courage, the owner is equippe'l with a tool that can carve his name among the immortals of the ages. The world to- day has little use for and less patience with the illiterate or the self-complacent- or the float-with-the-tide individual who clutters up the path of progress and knows not Time's decree of change. Happy is the man who, when life's school draws near its close, can look hack over the years that have gone and measure his accomplishments in terms, not of dollars accumulated or of selhsh honors won. but in terms of his constructive services render- ed to society-his fellow-men. The poet has admirably expressed this thought in those immortal lines: In life's broad field of battle. In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb driven cattle, Be a hero in the strife. May I not wish God-speed to those who are leaving and a happy vacation and joyous return to those who would continue their preparation for the happy adjust- ments in the world of tomorrow. SCHOOL SPIRIT. Mamaroneck I-Iigh School is surely lack- ing both in a spiritual and materalistic sense: lVe should need no reminder of them for our quite evident deficiencies are numerous and vital. Mamaroneck High School is weak in one respect above all others-it is absolutely devoid of School Spirit in any form, shape or manner. Perhaps this seemingly drastic statement is accepted doubtfully. A review of the facts, however, we think will improve our conclusions, for we can present a listiof carefully th-ought-out reasons for that as- sumption :- First a list of twenty persons would ade- quately include all those who represent the school in athletics. Another twenty could more than adequately include all those un- selhshly active in other school projects. None of the athletic teams are supported as they deserveg our cheering squads are jokes-other schools continually disgrace us on our home grounds. The Spy re- presents the work of a few and has no semblance of support from the school, either in literary contributions or in pecuniary subscriptions and yet the school does not refrain from criticism of all our activities, either literary or sport. Perhaps our readers will say we are too harsh, too severe on our school or that we are stretching th-e facts, but at any rate, a little criticism will do us no harm. It is rather a policy with the Spy to say noth- ing unless it be praise-it is time to change that policy and to deal with matters as ther are not m-erely as we would like them. It is now time that the school should awaken to its needs and opportunities pre- paratory for a new and better year. This year is ov-erg the Seniors are out: forget the past and consider the future g--Iuniors make good l ! I 10 THE SPY IN RETROSPECTION Now that we are near the end of the school year, it seems both fitting and proper that a record of our doings be placed before the public eye. Vife think that such a record will rouse the interest of our parents, who have formerly regarded us as mere machines for the earning of a few passable marks. Such an idea must surely be routed and with this in mind we here set forth the ambitions, aims, and achievements of Freshman, Sophomore, junior, Senior. The Freshmen really have had '-a hard year of it, and they have achieved some- thing which gratifies all those who have lived one year with them in the same build- ing, and that is that their verdant green- ness is turning into a faint pink which might well be the dawn of a successful year under the title of Sophomores. Yes indeed, Freshies, you have wabbled along quite suc- cessfully this year, and we see you as the tadpole of a very hne, dignified Senior frog of 1926. You had a very successful party where you made as much racket as possible and had a corking time. Queer rumors had been floating around the school concerning milk bottles on Saturday afternoon, but you fooled them all, perfectly respectable punch out of perfectly respectable paper cups was drunk by perfectly respectable Freshman, if you can imagine such an individual. Your class contains several stars who excel in various branches of school activities. this is quite unusual. but indeed you are an un- usual class, so plod on little Freshie, plod on! The Sophomores are respectable, con- tented, and rich citizens -of the High School. You have no longer that strange solemnity which marks the Freshman, nor have you yet grasped that giddiness which only a Senior may attain. You will make a splendid junior Class, and a wonderful Senior Class when you hold the reins of school government in your hands. You also had a very nice party with lots of green things called shamrocks hanging around, if we're not mistaken the great attraction was a unique feature or something like that. You by now have discovered in- dividual talent in your Class and indeed our assemblies would never be so interesting without you, so plod on little Sophie, plod on! The next class is a perplexing problem- one of knots and tangles-one which fills the late room yet runs the school govern- ment. We can certainly say that We pity Miss Nolan next year. But where would the school be without you, 192i? The teachers would have none to scold, the building would somewhat resemble Wfood- lawn in quietudeg in fact the school would be lost without you. You are said to be a sister class of the Freshman, and at times we are even able to see the resemblance, not physically, of course. If the rest of the school has as much pep as you, the building would cave in for we never saw such ex- citement as 1924 hot on the trail of the lunch room. You will be a marvelous Senior Class if you go on as you are going now, so plod on little -Tune bug, plod on! And now the Seniors-you have pattled your way through High School against fearful odds such as Regents, and are finally about to graduate even against the will of the teachers. Many of you are bat- tle scarred and weary, that is, in the build- ing, for the outside seems to produce an entirely different effect. You have done all that respectable, well bred Seniors should do-in fact, there is little left for you to accomplish, but to put on your best clothes and graduate. As Alumni, we only hope you will return now and then to the haunts of your childhood to refresh your memories with the happy, secluded hours you have spent here. ELEANOR lVl1r.LroaN. Have you ever noticed what a large part I plays in initiative? In other words: If you want things to come your way, get to work and start them. THE SPY 11 THE DULL BOY VVe pause in our congratulations to the young people who are leaving school at this season of the year, to speak a word of sympathy for the 'fdull boy or the dull girl. Some sensitive pupils who have been distanced in their studies by more pre- cocious, keen witted, quick minded fellows, may need a kind word but most of them do not. The average dull lad is a sensible sort of chap who is in no especial hurry to distinguish himself, but he manages to do so some time in his life, and that modestly but to good purpose. He is usually the fel- low who is relied upon in great crises when his once brighter classmate is found want- ing. The curriculum of schools, colleges and universities these days is so crowded with a complex and infinite variety of sub- jects, that only the most precocious ever acquire that high standing demanded of students. Statistics are wanting as to what becomes of the bright valedictorians and salutatorians and the honor men -of classesg but there is a prevalent opinion that the dull boy is about as well able to take care of himself and achieve distinction as are his most nimble witted fellows who receive the plaudits of an audience at graduation time. The writer has in mind a number of the schoolmates of her youthful days. One was a bright and shining light in the class room. He was the favorite of all teachers. He was the show pupil of the class and of the school as well. Mathematics and the languages were his especial delight. He was held up as a model to every dull boy in the institution of learning he attended. Visitors to the class room went way pre- dicting a great future for one with so won- derful an intellect and such studious habits. He was graduated with honors but strange to say the dull boys of his class were not particularly electrified by his accumulation of honors and prizes. They left school and plodded or seemed to plod along in the wake of this star of knowledge. That was several years ago. The bright one? Oh! yesg the glory of his star dimmed but a short while after his graduation. His career? He has one that you do not care your boys-your dull boys if you please- should scan. He traveled too swift a pace. But the writer could tell you something of the dull, patient fellows who plodded in the wake of the precocious one during school days and for a brief time thereafter. They are plodders y-et, most of them. One who led the foot of his class is crowding fast upon the heels of the aged leader of a great political organization, contributing his now 'eminent services not alone to party success but to the glory of his country. Others are at the front in great movements for the uplifting of humanity. Still others are eminent specialists, patiently as when younger, solving slowly, yet surely, the great and important problems of the day and century. Science. surgery, sociology, law, legislation, bear witness to the magni- fiicently beautiful ripening of the minds of these dull boys. Question them and modestly they will depreciatfe the value of their services to the world. They have reached that period of life when they will not dispute you if you dub them dull of wit and slow -of comprehension. Th-ey have won success by being dull and thereby com- pelled to apply themselves with diligence to every problem that has confronted them. No, the dull boy in this age of ours, this age of special training and need for special- ists in innumerable avenues leading to honor and emolument, n-eeds no sympathy. He can work out his destiny as other boys just as dull as he, have done before him. High resolve and honest endeavor clear away many obstacles, solve many problems, lead to great achievements. A word of en- couragement now and then from older and wiser men is a tonic which braces many a lad possibly just the least bit despairing of class room honors, but out in the world, bless you, the dull lad conquers if he is given tim-e to develop those God given 12 THE SPY faculties of his. Better than his slow mind blossom late in life and .retain its fragrant bloom than that a premature success leads to blighting blast. Have you a dull boy? Don't discourage him. He may possess in- genuity, tenacity, endurance, possible traits of character more to be prized than all the learning of the ages. He is all right but he is not in need 'of sympathy. A. M. N. GO TO COLLEGE. Every walk of life demands college bred 1nen and women as never before. Liberal education means not only intel- ligent and concerted action, but high stand- ards of living. Man is a machine and every part of the machine must be properly adjusted and oiled with the lubrication philosophy, science, history and literature. The world demands the four-square man. A ,cultured man is worth more from a pecuniary standpoint. An educated man is a citizen and a student of his country and the world. An uncultured man is conhned to a very small circle. DID THEY FINISH THE DANCE. A certain girl at the .lunior dance, fear- ing 'that the hand of her partner would soil her dainty gown said shyly: 'AlVould you mind using your handker- chief ?', ' The young man hastily drew out his handkerchief and blew his nose. - The defendant, who was held in an Ohio court 'on the charge of keeping a dog with- out a license, repeatedly tried to interrupt the evidence, but was hushed each time by the court. Finally the clerk turned to him and said: Do you wish the court to understand that you refuse to renew your dog license ?' Yes, but- VXfe want no 'buts' You must renew your license or be fined. You kn-ow it ex- pired on january lf' Yes, said the defendant, and so did the dog. A colored revival was in full blast, and one old fellow was -exhorting the people to contribute generously. 4'Look what de Lawd's done fo' you-all, brethren! he shouted.

Vlle have been highly commended on all sides including the State Education Depart- ment and it has been our aim to keep the paper the best of any school of its' size in the state. Though we have had many hearty sup- porters yet We ought to have had more. We think it is the duty of every friend and patron of the school to place his name on our subscription list, not only on ac- count of the merits of the paper, but also that he may manifest his interest in the school it represents. This issue closes the second volume of the Spy and as we lay down our scis- sors and pen, We wish to express our gratitude for the many kind Words of en- couragement vve have receivedg we know that our feeble efforts have generally been appreciated. To the Pioneer Press, to all of our ad- vertisers and contributors we express our sincere thanks. Vtfe wish the f'Spy success.

Vice-President-George Bell. Secretary-Eleanor Taylor. Treasurer-Gtilia Miller. i The Class of 323 may rightly be called the Class of the Reconstruction Period. In 1919, the first year of Peace, they came, a rollicking though apprehensive coterie of Freshmeng and now, after four years of work and play, they are leaving, Per- haps the intervening years have brought their difficulties and their disillusion, per- haps the sophistication that has come with the last four years is not so happy as the blissful nescience of those rollicking Freshmen of '19g but as the sedate Seniors of '23 go forth searching for worlds to con- quer, they would not have it otherwise. Before them lies a task of tasks. To them falls the responsibility of piecing together a world fractured to the point of destruc- tion. Their generation it is that must seek to obliterate the violent national and inter- naticnal dissension that has followed the llfar. Upon the success of their efforts depends a world of Peace and Brotherly Love. And so with this purpose before them, the Class of '23 passes on. Some of them will enter the competition -of commerce immediately, while others will wait yet a few more years and prepare themselves for the struggle. But on each of them the responsibility of bettering the world rests equally. Mamaroneck High School has given them its bestg now, accompanied by the grace of Providence, the road to success lies 'open before them. THE SPY JUNIOR CLASS I-lark!--Did we hear a murmur of ap- plause? CProbably not.l Yes. we are the Juniors. Look us over, friends, and judge us not too harshly, for despite everything We have had a successful year. Perhaps some, including our teachers, are rather skeptical about it but nevertheless we think. on the whole, we've pulled through pretty Well-for us. i Ojjficers President, Adelaide Dunn Vice-President, Henry Boschen Secretary, Katerine Gaillard Treasurer, jean Mills.

The first Sophomore dance in the his- tory of Mamaroneck High was given on March 17. Through the untiring efforts of Miss Douglass, the Sophomore advisor, and the committee, it was a decided suc- cess. It should be noted that the class is very musical. We have claim to: The Mal:-: Quartet, Two soloists and the accompan- ist of the High School Chorus and a big delegation to the Glee Club. THE SPY 19 WE-THE FRESHMAN This is we-the hale and friskie Fref shiest' of the class of '26. Now you mustn't stare at us too long, for we are ex- ceedingly modest and bashful, as all good little Freshman should be. However we're going to forget our bashfulness just this once to let you know what we've ac- complished. We gave a successful party-dance on April 21, 1923, and there We gave up our childish habit of bottled milk and graham crackers and became, like the upper class- man, in style, with the real thing in the line of refreshments. Games were followed by two hours of dancing and when 11:30 came, everyone, wefre sure, felt that a good time was had. Vtfe have not done as much as we expect- ed this year, but next year, when we have passed the infant stage and taken a step nearer to the coveted Seniorship --then - just watch us blossom out and do things! 20 THE SPY THE SENIOR 2 CLASS MOTTO Not for Ourselves Alone.

CLASS HISTORY r lt is said that the poet is born-and the orator is made , but just how the historian springs into existence no one as yet has been able to explain. Of all writers he per- haps is the most unfortunate, because he must never wander beyond the boundaries of the parched fields of fact, and yet the mission of the historian is very necessary, for by dealing with the past illumined by a few living truths of the present he does, in a measure at least, mould the future. So for the good of Mamaroneck High School we deem it necessary that some modest state- ment be made about the Class of 1923 that may be placed on record. In September, 1919. about sixty eager boys and girls entered Mamaroneck High School to avail themselves of its splendid advantages. Though many left our ranks to enter into business or for other reasons, yet we boast of being the largest class that the school has ever graduated, having thirty sev-en members. To be sure, it was neces- sary to draft some of 'our members from far off California and sunny Alabama, as well as from the towns! and cities in our own county. 9 f Full of anticipation and ambition, we assembled and gradually became acquainted with th-e school, its rules, regulations, and general environment. Timid and humble were we ,at first in our new surroundings, but we soon acquired the presumption and selfconfidenc-e so characteristic of us today Qso the teachers thinkj 3 but who shall say that this presumption and confidence has not always aided us? For wehave usually made good in examinations and in general school projects. Previous to our senior year we were too modest 'to promote class activities, yet we always joined with en- thusiasm in those of the rest of the school -...,,,,,,...-....,.,,.-f 'ir ----Q. sm..-If ,1- K THE SPY -musical, social, athletic and forensic. In our junior year we formed a class organization. In that ,ear both the. boys and the girls carried off the honors in the interclass track meet, also the boys of the baseball team fwhich was composed almost entirely of Junior boysj won the cup 'of the League. During our Senior year we have gradu- ally become unified in spirit, and today' our motto, Not for ourselves alone , signi- fies the true benevolence and charity of the class. Our class record has not been one of continued triumphs and ovations, nor has our path always been strewn with roses, for these reasons many thought, in spite of everything should have been our Class motto. However, we can say that we have k-ept aloof from all petty annoyances, scold- ings and warnings of teachers, and from bickerings with other classes, To initiate ourselves into the social life of M. H, S. we gave a dance in December which was both a social and financial suc- cess. We had planned one for March, but this was cancelled, and we are planning to give a Commencement Dance before we leave the portals of M. I-I. S. The Service League, which was organ- ized at the beginning of the year to keep the high school machinery working smoothly, was naturally made up almost entirely of Seniors. And by way of explaining our worthy afl11fm'011zC1zt5, we must modestly confess that without our rzatzzral resources we could not have accomplished much. For, fortu- nate is the class, especially in these times, that can boast a Brewer and a Cordialg Well fed the class that has two Millers: well attended the class who has its own Stewart, well appareled the class that has its own tailor QTaylorlg well ordered the class that has its own Bell, rich indeed the class that has its, Goldman, well eased the class that has its Downey, and lent color by its Brown, serious through its Ernst, alert through its Wakeman, law abiding through its Marshall, may it reach the lofty summits of its ambition that the name of Cone sug- gests! In parting-to the teachers who aided us in making the Class of 1923 the best ever, to Mr. Shafer, our former principal who laid so ably the foundations on which we have built our class record, to Mr. Gordy, who has propagated this work, to the other members of the high school to whom we trust the memory of our Class will be an inspiration, we bid a fond farewell and thank them. EMMA CONNOR. Soliloquy of a Senior when asked by the teacher to give example of hgures of speech: , Oh, ye gods! VVhere in the world are we? To what end have the fallacies of men arisen? Here I am, a poor innocent student at the mercy of these tyrannical teachers! Rebuffed on one hand, mocked at on the other, found fault with, criticized and unhumanly plagued! Uh, that my wish be fulfilled, and june bring me forth from this institution and the furies en- closed! , JUST A FLAPPER. Flappers make me tired- To have started such a fuss!

Place: Chapel. Time: Mondays in the past. Staged by Miss Harriot. There's ever a place, even in a high school chapel, for ardent admirers of haughty little misses dancing charmingly through their moods! The Pierrots? Oh, the Misses Caryl Yeager, Dorothy O'Con- nor and Dorothy O'Riellyl Haughty little Pierettes? Helen Gleason and Rosalie Sands. and our dear Ruth Beck. Another charming performer! If all one needs to dance as Margaret Thompson did. is a new dress-why not let's all get new dresses? But, of course, it is understood we all can't be cute little Russian girls. And-a bit of Killarney, too! With such graceful, rougish colleens as Margaret Davison, Alice Wolf and Virginia Forbes. Ireland can't be such a bad place after all! Other times-other manners. So here we have four flirting French peasants- lovers as it were. Those audacious lads- Virginia Forbes and lane French! Those awful coquettes-Helen Revere and Mar- garet Davison. And now the scene changes to the night of debate. just a bit of color! By their entrance we surmised those five colored Lizas came all the way from Dixie Land-the Chemistry Laboratory. They danced-earned their admission and the applause of an admiring audience. By the way, those great big red lips belong to: Anna Downey, Alyce Hinman, Edna Malmquist, Margaret Milligan and Catherine Sloane. And so the program ended! CATHERINE SLOAN13, 1925.

When ma's been working all day long And finally gets through, And when at last she's sitting down And wants something to do, She can get some fashion magazines And all this almost freeg But you'd have to buy them outright In the Home Town by the Sea Wlien sister has some time to spare She doesn't have to sit And mope around or darn or sew Embroider,-or knitg But she can read a drama or A story of mystery. ' But all we have is the Paragraph In the Home Town by the Sea. VVhen Johnny wants to read a book H-e has not far to go, A'nd he would rather read a book Than go to see a showg For every little village now Has its own library .. Except the village where we live- The Home Town by the Sea. Wlien jones, the business man, gets home And reads the papers through, He will probably be looking for' Some other thing to do: But it won't be hard for a block away ls the public library, But it's tive miles to the nearest cne To the Home Town by the Sea.

Mamaroneck is on the whole a progres- sive village, as its schools, churches, banks, stores and station testify. Yet there is something missing, something that makes perhaps a greater impression on the stranger than anything else. just as a man is judged by his clothes, so a community is judged by its outward appearance. Therefore a community that cannot point to a Public Library as the symbol of its intellect is judged as unprogressive by strangers. New York realized the importance of this, setting aside probably the most valuable piece of land in the city and erecting a magnificient public library upon it. Man is distinguished from the lower animals by his longer period' of infancy, some twenty years, as compared to only a year for the dog, and less for many other species. This period of infancy is provid- ed to prepare us for adult life. The only way to progress is to use the results of the labors and experience of the past. In the twenty-one years of our infancy we try to acquire the results of -over two thousand years of civilization. This we can do though the schools, and for a direct contact through museums, laboratories, and books. If we want to know the types and characters of the past, We can find them in books by Dickens, Stevenson, Shake- speare, and many'others. We can learn to know all in the public library. ' That we be acquainted with literature. history, and geography is especially import- ant in a democracy, for a democracy is only strong as its individuals are intelli- gent. Th-e public library is a symbol of de- mocracy. Money and infiuence find no place there. Everyone has the same right to use it. Many of the best minds of today are working on periodicals, and only by read- ing these can the people of a democracy keep abreast of happenings. It is im- practical and unnecessary to subscribe to all of them. A public library not only provides these, but through books of his- tory, civics, and geography helps the public to understand them. There are a surpris- ing number of newspaper readers who confuse the Balkans with the Baltic, Slesvig and Silesia. Gnly very few people can afford to have all the books they need. In a community with a public library it is not necessary to have the many expensive works of re- ference such as the Encyclopedia Britan- nica, the many encyclopediae of law, his- tory, and science, the manv volumed works on history and law. The average citizen cannot afford all the books he should have, making a public library a necessity. A progressive community thinks in terms of the future, which means thinking in terms of its children. The fact that Mamaroneck High School has found it advisable to have its library opened to pupils proves that it is all the more neces- sary to provide a library for those who were not fortunate enough to complete their education. Those who have the greatest need' for a public library appreciate it most. Statistics show that the East Side immigrant section of New York City uses chiefly books on philosophy, science, history and govern- ment and also first class drama and fiction. In the idle quarter the demand is for the lightest. trashiest novels. If it is necessary to study some sub- ject we can get the books at the public lib- rary, instead of going to the expense of purchasing them. to be used once and then left to fall apart in the attic. That there is a demand for books is illustrated by the financial success of cir- culating libraries in communities of only a thousand inhabitants. And besides these there are a round eight thousand eight hun- .tg THE SPY dred public libraries belonging to the Am- erican Library Association. Great men and captains of industry, such as Lincoln, Edison and especially Carnegie, realized the importance of books to the people and acted accordingly. Europe is realizing the importance of libraries. France is establishing a system of circulating libraries under government control. Leading newspapers have been devoting considerable space to a study of the American public libraries. Mamaroneck, as a growing home town, needs a public library. Larchmont, though considerably smaller, is about to get one. There has always been a considerable amount of friendly rivalry between the two villages, and Mamaroneck, as the home -of one of America's best authors, should not let. itself be outdone by its small rival, If we really want to appreciate the rea- sons why Mamaroneck needs a public lib- the reasons why a rary, try to enumerate public library is not needed. Carl F. Norden. THE PUNISHMENT FITS Tl-IE CRIME Study Hall this morning was quiet as usual. The session had just begun. Sud- denly we heard a squeaking noise. Wfe looked up and saw a weighty freshman with a sickly smile trudging down the aisle to- ward the door pulling behind him a toy dog on four wheels. After the laughter had subsided and the freshman had disap- peared, we learned that this was th-e punish- ment inflicted on him by the Principal for the undue interest the freshman had dis- played in Study I-Iall in a toy poodle to be used in a school play.-Elifmlacfth Sloane, No. 134- Prnsjvcrt A'zfc?'7z11e, Ma11za1'011cck, N. Y. The above is a clipping from the New York Wforld of December 17. In this article Miss Sloane, valedictorian of our Class, won a prize in contest. THE SENIOR PLAY Shades of Thespis! 'Twas superb! There was a display of no mean histri- onic ability when the Class presented Dandy Dick , Sir Arthur W. Pinero's three-act farce, on the evening of May the third. The play was given, moreover, at St. Iohn's Parish House in Larchmont, which was quite an improvement over our own poor but honest assembly room. All praise is due the good work of the. actors and the committees, but far more the indefatigable efforts of our own Mis? Nclan as coach. There was no Haw in the production. It is difficult to mention the fine acting of any one of the cast without referring equal- ly to them all. Samuel Morse had the lead- ing part, that of the Dean of St. Marvell's, and when his reverend voice touched unex- plored depths he was nothing if notconvinc- ing. And then there was-but we must not begin telling how Hne they all were. This little book could never hold it. Sufhce it to say that every one of the cast carried him- self conhdently and most effectively. The plot concerned a dean and his two daughters, who, in a rash attempt to escape from their penury, placed bets on Dandy Dick, a race horse. The dean was thrown into prison, escaped, and in short had ex- periences quite unusual for his cloth. MR. MILTON IAHODA After six years of service as athletic director in Mamaroneck High School, Mr. Milton A. Iahoda leaves us to take a higher position in a New York City High School. During his stay in Mamaroneck Mr. jahoda has made many friends, he has be- come popular with the boys, and is known as one of the best coaches in Westchester County.

The second game was played with New Rochelle. This game was an example of Mamaroneckls real ability, our boys being outweighed by every opponent. In the games following Mamaroneck lost its pep and also one of its star players, Benny Hogan. The team did not win a game but the gameness displayed won them praise and many rooters wherever they played. Comparing the size of the schools and the players of each school our boys deserve much credit for the showing they made. They tied New Rochelle who were tied with Mount Vernon for f11'st place in the County League. This was more than was accomplished by Port Chester who were forced to drop from the League before the Finish of their season. The team is as follows :- Fullback, J. Costello, Captain. Right Half Back, YV. Cunningham. Left Half Back, G. Hinman. Quarterback, K. Stewart. Center, T. Hogan, T. Herlyn. Right Guard, R. Salmon, 1. Palmer. Left Guard, G. Murray. Right Tackle, R.

VVak'eman TRACK 1923. Mamaroneck has never had a really good track and has never been able to compete on an equal basis with other schools. VV e might even safely make the prediction that Mamaroneck never will excel in track and field athletics until the high school acquires. First, an athletic field worthy of that name, and, secondly, a track coach who will make it his business not merely to manage or direct, but to actually coach the team, as it should be coached. At present there is no real school interest in track activities, and it is to be hoped that in the future, as the high school grows, this branch of ath- letics will be equal in importance to foot- ball, baseball, and basketball. The 1923 track team entered three meets: The Columbia University meet, The New York State Championship sec- tion meet and the VV. I. A. A. county track meet. ln the New York State section meet l-linman took third place in pole vault, and Brewer third place in the 880 yard run. In the WV. I. A. A. meet, Malmquist and Mar- shall were in a quadruple tie for fourth place in high jumpsg they cleared the bar at 5 feet 6 inches. In other years this would have won, but the NV. I. A. A. meet proved to be this year, as far as records go, exceptionally fine. The winners turning in college time or distance in the respective events. After his excellent performance in high jump Marshall took third place in running broad jump. RIPPAN, BAH IOVE! 'IWl1o is at the top in the Industrial foot- ball league now ?

T. A. A. League. Opening the season against Dwight School on April etth, our boys defeated the New Yorkers 5 to 4, the game being a pitchers' battle between Hogan and Vitale. In the second game, Richmond Hill came up and handed Mamaroneck a defeat, 7 to 3, the Orange and Black being unable to make their hits count. joe Ferrall started this game, but was relieved by Hogan in the fifth, who allowed them 2 hits for the remainder of the game. The following Friday, Mamaroneck handed Bryant High School an artistic trimming, 11 to 3. Fer- rall was never in danger during this game. On Saturday, April 14, they defeated Fordham Prep 5 to 1. Hogan was in great form and allowed only two hits, while Har- rington, leading Prep school pitcher in New York City, was knocked out of the box in the fifth inning. This is the only game that Harrington has lost this year. On April 18, Mamaroneck defeated DelfVitt Clinton, 6 to 5. Ferrall and Hogan doing the pitching for Mamaroneck. The New Rochelle game April 21, was a farce, Ma- maroneck winning 22 to 1, while Hogan allowed only one scratch hit. On April 28, M. H. S. went down to defeat before Mount Vernon on Mt. Vernon's freak field-the score was 4 to 2. VVith one manson base, Smith of Mount Vernon hit what would ordinarily have been an easy fly for the right fielder on a good field. However, it Went over the bank in right field for a home run. This game marked the return of Gene O'Callaghan to the Y . . 1 l x THE 'SPY L19 line-up. His return has strengthened the batting order and rounded out the out field. On May 2. Hogan set Yonkers down with 3 hits and defeated them 5 to 1. The-next Saturday, Wihite Plains was swamped 20 to 1. Hogan was never in any trouble in this game. On May 9. Greenwich defeated N. H. S. 10 to 9. This game was marred by errors on b-oth sides. On May 16. Hogan shut out Port Chester 11 to 0, allowing only one hit which should have been an out. Only three' men reach- ed lirst base in the entire game. Three days later he pitched a no-hit game against Yonkers, winning 21 to 2. The second Port Chester game was easier than the first with the score 22 to 1. in Mamaroneck's favor. ln the sixth inning it was decided to call the game. ln catching a foul tip. Captain 'floew Costello received a badly broken hnger, which necessitated his re- maining out of the game for the rest of the season. This will greatly handicap Mamarcneck in their fight with Mt.

For the lirst time in the history of the school Mamaroneck finished among the leaders of the VVestchester Interscholastic League, Mamaroneck lost the League games, two of these being to the Port Chester High School team who eventually won the State Championship at Syracuse. This placed Mamaroneclc a close second in the League. The success of the team is largely due to tlie earnest and untiring efforts of Mr. Milton Iahoda, head Coach, with Rind- fleisch, in the center position, Cunningham and Stewart forward, and Capt, Goodliffe and G'CaIlaghan guarding. Mr. ,lahoda developed a team with a whirlwind at- tack and a secure defense. The team was ably supported by Boschen, Marshall and Farrell who showed remarkable play in all games in which they were en- tered. The constant and steady playing of Cap- tain Goodliffe and Cunningham was one of the reasons for Mamaroneck's successful season. Among the achievements may be included victories over the formidable ag- gregations of Pawling Prep, Mount Ver- non High School ancl Yonkers High School. if , THE SPY 51 Q-q San ' if I ' ' .
