Armed with information from the coaches, the lassies and lads did well. Members of the Mahiscan staff were con- stantly amazed at the patience of people who answered such seemingly unimportant, brief questions as, What's your handle? and Who's the boy in this picture with only one ear showing? Numerous persons helped us, and the staff greatly appreciates their aid. The entire staff takes pride in publishing the 1949 Mahiscan. lt is their sincere hope that its reading will be enjoyed now, as well as in the Iiuture when Mamaroneck's alumni will leai' through its pages, reminiscing about their beloved Alma Mater. l'lIU'I'U ASSISTANTS- Left fo right: lmisrr l'Ir1i'If.sm1, Jlurif' lfmmzzn, ffznztliifr Seotf, .'llr1riI.ull fllale. 0

Breaking precedent, Mr. U. S. Keebler announced the staff of the 1949 Mahiscan last spring, thus enabling the members to mull over their ideas and hopes for next year's annual. The more was sound and very desirable, for the staff was ready to discuss the theme and the difhcult matter of Hnances at the onset of its senior year. Swift and smooth operation thereby resulted.

T' A' MLM 20 Mr. Keebler diligently led The Ma- hiscan wagon train around all disaster SUNNY' to the golden hill of accomplishment, while Miss Riordan, aided by her photo assistants, arranged the senior portraits and the schedules for group pix. Miss Morgan and the office staff contributed greatly in clerical help. The fellow mak- ing things tick on time was Dave Wilkinson, editor- infchief. Helping him most generously were editors Pat Smedick, Sue Libby, Edith linglander, and Libbie Deverich. Business manager for QQQCTS was Alma McGowan, who was aided in the bookkeeping by Mrs. Linden. Subscriptions were handledby Mary Ley and Carol Goulding who, on behalf of the staff, express their thanks for the G. Afs support in the drive. Ad manager Dorothy Doneeker and her assistant, Lorraine Migliaecio, consumed many afternoons in soliciting the advertisements for this year's book. Many of the students new to the Hilltop probably wondered who the two harassed-looking individuals, heavily laden with equipment, were. Of course, they were none other than the Mahiscan's expert photo staff of A. Stone, editor, and lim Symons. The expert quality and quantity of work by these boys was indispensable. The gold rush theme inspired our talented artists, headed by Kitty Kirkman, to turn in especially fine drawings. Helping Kitty were Gerda Fuchs, Doug Iordan, and Mima Lee Newkirk. Since Mamaroneck is noted for athletics, good sports writers were necessary to record their achievements. The annual had

With the diligent guidance of Miss Elizabeth R. Francis, adviser, and Edward Wright, president, the Quill and Scroll Society of Mamaroneck High School enjoyed a most successful year. Other officers of this honorary journalistic society were Bob Kiely, vice- president, and Lorraine Migliaccio, secretary-treasurer. As in the past, The Orange and Black Leaves, a magazine containing the choicest of student literary endeavors, was the main activity of the group. How- ever, this year, instead of sponsoring separate contests for each type of literature, only two contests were held, in which essays, poetry, and short stories were all submitted together. At the close of the second contest, selection of the best of each phase of work was made, and the winning authors were presented with awards during an assembly program. A new plan for sale of the magazine was also inaugurated. whereby each member of the society was assigned a definite number of people to solicit. With the plan working very well, sale of the magazine was quite satisfactory. To meet the expense of publishing, the society sold programs at all home football games. At the induction meeting in December, all prospec- tive members performed stunts, which proved ex- tremely amusing. Afterwards there was an impres- sive ceremony, at the end of which initiates became full-fledged members. Eligibility requirements for membership in this society for high school journal- ists consist of three things: service for at least a year on the Record or the Mahiscan staffs, recommendation by the faculty adviser of the publication, and scholar- ship in the top third of the class. Although the organization was rather small this year, it still deserves highest praise for upholding its lofty standards and for fostering the literary efforts of fellow students.
