The girls com- peted only in basketball, relays and other games. The successful result of this cooperation between the teams was one of which the entire school may be proud. While the girls were working on Sports Night it was quite evident that the boys were not idle. for on May eighth came a dance given by the Lettermen's Club. The theme of Tal-ze Me Out to the Ball Park created quite a sensation because of the originality and the thoroughness with which it was carried out. The advertising signs, the grand- stands, and the box seats provided the proper at- mosphere, while refreshments of hot dogs, and music by Scottie Wiirrier completed the ball park illusion. The boys, of course, were not only socially ac- tive. They, too, had quite a heavy sports schedule this season. In lacrosse, the game of the M, H. S. Indians, we did very well for ourselves, winning tive games and losing three. Hugh Kitchener, Ed PU PILS' ACTIVITY CUMMITTEE G. Thompson, A. Stciglcr, J. Shumway, B. Fowle B. Gschwind. SHOP CLUB

PRI G N the spring of '-18 the weather man really out- did himself to convince us that there would be no spring that year. The record falls of snow we had been having all winter long weren't enough, he decided, and we must be kept in the cold, rainy weather for the next few months. And so we were, right up through our final exams in the third week of june. However, before we draw a complete pic- ture of the spring, let's take a look at the rec- ord of what we did in those months. Back in the beginning of what should have been spring came the Music Departments Annual Con- cert. The orchestra and band performed commend- ably as did the choir, which featured as soloists two of its members, jane Brown and Marian Chis- holm, and a guest tenor, Everett Griek of Manhas- SCI. Soon after the concert, the class of '50 brought forth its contribution to the year's social life in the form of the Soph Hop. We were reminded of the coming event for weeks in advance by men of distinction posters. The theme of April Show- ers and the smooth music by Peter Vance made the evening a very pleasant one. Following soon after the Soph Hop, the girls were spotlighted when, on May sixth, they pre- sented their annual Sports Night. At the first meeting of both teams Ginny Thompson and Lucia Thwaits were elected assistant color captains to help Marilyn Myers and Ruth Garrick, respectively of the Orange and the Blue teams. Practice started then and there and continued right on up until the eventful night. The theme was a circus in which the Orange and the Blue pooled their acrobats, STUDENT CONGRESS Ruu' One-J.

Vogler, and Don Hamel were three outstanding juniors who showed great promise and who helped us to place third in the league. It was gratifying for M. H. S. to learn that six of its lacrosse play- ers made the All-Scholastic team. Stan Smiley once again led the track team in a successful season. George Scott, Ken Lent, Les- ter Ashton, and Alex Williiiins provided a strong backbone for the team that beat St. Paul's in Gar- den Clity 58-37, won three small meets, and placed litith out ol' nine Class A schools in the Long Island tour-mile relays. In baseball M. Il. S. broke about even, beating Seaclitf, liarmingdale, Oyster Bay, and Sewanhaka, but losing four of the league games. Dick Berge- sen and Iired Ifranz were two of the mainstays of the pitching staff, while Emery Martin, Tyler Dann and jack Dieliendorli were the outstanding batters. The tennis team had a record ot' five wins to two losses, losing to Great Neck, splitting two matches with Port Wiisliiiigton, and beating Gar- den Clity and Ifarmingdale twice each. Pete Mezey G. O.

The golf team did not fare as well as the other teams, but perhaps this was because it was only in its second year in M. H. S. .lack and Anthony Wliite, Ken Schlamp, Bob Dowling and Gene Braithwaite were the outstanding players, May twenty-first and twenty-second was the week end of the spring production of the Manhasset High School Dramatics Group. This time it was Moliere's farce, The Imaginary Invalid, starring Ken Nichoson and Ann McGeeney, with The Great Dark, by Dan Totheron as a curtain raiser. Temptation lured all the Hansels and Gretels Cand lots of othersj, into Candyland on May twenty-eighth when the class of '-i9 presented its junior Prom. Derry Kruse, prom chairman, headed a group of committees that magically transformed the gym into the Candyland which provided a background for one of the best dances ot' the year. The high point of the evening was when Derry presented the crown to jan Woocl.
