Lent, I TER OOKING back on the winter of 1948-49 we'll all remember the basketball victories over Port and Great Neck, the Senior Prom, the Tower Assembly, the money raising ability of the fresh- men and especially all the little, seemingly insig- nificant events which made up our school year. We seemed especially susceptible to the drive bug. The first big campaign was waged by the Service Committee which aimed to beg, borrow or steal ssoo from the students. The plan this year was to collect money in two big drives dur- ing the year on a type of Community Chest basis and then to allot it to the Red Cross, the March of Dimes, the Cancer Fund, the Save the Children Federation, and other charities. Jinx and Tex Mc- Crary started the drive on November 5 with an assembly program, and then everyone, from fresh- man to senior, dug deep to bring his own class's contribution total up. The freshmen made a name for themselves by contributing more than any other class, making the school's total about 5500. The school witnessed soph president Lee Edwards'
