SOPHOMORE-FIRST TERM Stewart O'Neill Lewis Hill VValter Rutherford Paul Coldin Thomas Coutts VVilliam VValter It is not often that McBurney has as up and coming a section as the first term Sopbomores. As soon as the mem- bers had organized the section, they started to do things. On October 18, the boys of the school traveled to Pelham Bay Park for the Fall Field Day. The Sophomores put a track team on the Held which was unbeatable, the runners took first and second in every race. Of course, they won the Field Day Cup. VVith that as a start, the section started after the Interclass Athletic Championship. By the end of the first term, they were far in the lead. When the section was moved up to Special C in February, it left its standing as a herit- age to the new members of the section. The new section proved worthy of the inheritance, going on to win the champ- ionship. Freshman Day was the sole failure ex- perienced by the section. The Freshmen proved to be better boxers and wrestlers. Although the Sophomores won the tug of war and the Hag rush, they lost the contest by five points. At this point VValter Rutherford, VVil- President Vice-President Secretary Student Council Y-Drive Chairman liam Totten, and William VValter be- came interested in dramatics. NValter Rutherford played Albert, William Tot- ten played Sniggers. and William Walter was one of the heathen priests in A Night at an Inn , the feature of the Dramatic Club's Christmas presentation. The annual Y Drive, however, was the event that brought out the best in the section. VVhile the other sections were discussing the drive, the Sophomores were at work. They filled one hundred percent of their quota in three days. One hundred and fifty percent, two hundred percent, two hundred and fifty percent followed in rapid succession. One hun- dred percent of the class contributed. So many bonuses were won that Mr. Cham- berlin ran out of bonus money. By that time the section had won the drive by a large margin, and VVilliam Walter, who managed the campaign, was thinking of his grades once more. As a reward for their efforts, the boys of the section were treated to a big-league hockey game at Madison Square Garden. VVatch this section next year and the year after that! inr....... SOPHOMORE-SECOND TERM Roger Farrell Iames Rinerc Peter Markellos Bruce YVald Robert Malerba In February the roster of the Sopho- more section was changed completely. The new group was a bit appalled at first, for they were taking the place of boys who had won the Field Day Cup, were leading in Interclass Athletics, and had run away with the Y Drive. However, they did not disgrace the name of Sopho- ITTOTC. As a section they won the Interclass Athletics Contest, scoring points in each contest. Individually they shone in many fields. Bruce Wald, a member of the Scroll Club and Key Club, was a ICl1l3llSt in the Spelling, Vocabulary, and Extern- poraneous Contests and won the Dec- lamation Prize. Alfred Killerman was sec- ond in Declamation. Herbert Chamberlin was a finalist in the Vocabulary Contest and was second on the checker ladder. Peter Venedictow was also high on the checker ladder. Eugene Fink won a letter as the manager of the golf team. Louis Mucelli was a finalist in both the V ocab- ulary and Book Mart. Thomas Coutts was on the varsity swimming team, and VValter Lee ran on the track team. It was in lnterclass Athletics that the section showed its worth. Managed by President Vice-President Secretary Student Council Dave VVilliams, the boys put up a fight in every contest. George Ccrny was on the basketball and track teams. Harry Fraser was on every section team: base- ball, boxing, basketball, foul shooting. track, volley ball, and handball. Dennis C-erardi was on the softball and handball teams. Peter Markellos, like Harry Fraser. was on every team. Iohn Saeher helped the section win in foul shooting, swim- ming, boxing, and handball. Peter Vene- dietow was another stalwart. VVarren Herder swam and wrestled for the sec- tion, and Herbert VVeiser wrestled and boxed. Sophomore sections cannot hope to compete with the older boys in the varsity sports, or, for that matter, in the aca- demics. However, there is a place where they can show their worth-in the intra- school activities where enthusiasm and earnestness count as much, if not more, than ability. This year's Sophomore sec- tion saw where it could do its best work. And it did it. MeBurney will be proud of these boys when they finally become Seniors and are ready to take over the student leadership of the school.

On Freshman Day-of course with the assistance of Freshman B-the boys of the section won most of the contests from the Sophomores. 'l'hat is suflicient to make a year satisfactory from a Fresh- man's viewpoint. l reshman are too small to make the varsity teams, but lXIcBurney provides pony teams in soccer. basketball, and baseball. 'l'he soccer team had an in- different season, losing most of its games. 'l'he basketball team, however, did very well. 'l'ucker Kreutzberg was the star of the team, scoring 104 points. Bob Guil- loeheau and Spencer Bruno seconded him ably in winning many games for the school. The baseball team. instead of following the example of the basketball squad, reverted to the soccer boys. Its sea- son was also a failure. ln addition to these three teams, the freshman organized a pony volleyball squad and entered it in the A.A.P.S. tournament. After leading Student Council George O'Ncill George Kinncll most of the wav. the team was elimin- ated by Regis as it was last year. In academies Freshman A competed with the rest of the school on equal terms and did very well. Ed Carson cap- tured second place in the Spelling Con- test. lames Irleineman was second in the individual scoring in the Math Contest, coming through with QQ72. Peter Iones was second in the Book Mart. and George Kinnell won third in the Declam- ation Contest. George O'Ncill won the Freslunan Loyalty prizeg Spencer Bruno was elected to the Lamp and Laurel Socictyg and Charles Mulhern, Grover Rcpp, and VVilliam Gatehouse received Service Plaques for their work on the Assembly Committee. George O'Neill and VVilliam Gatehouse are members of the Scroll Club. The boys of the Freshman A section are looking forward to their future years at lXleBurney, when they can take their places not as section, but as school leaders, F RESHMAN B First Term President William Fitzpatrick Vice-President lohn Hordyk Secretary Marco Clayton Student' Council Samuel Harwood The boys of Freshman B section en- tered McBurney last fall. For several months while they were becoming ac- customed to the new environment, they were not too active in the extra-curricular activities of the school. Once acclimated, however, they began to do things. During the spring the section came forward rapidly in the Interclass Athletics com- petition, finishing the year in second place, behind the Sophomores, who had built up a big lead last fall, but far ahead of the rest of the sections. VVilliam Fitzpatrick and Sam Harwood were the sparkplugs of most of the sec- tion teams. ln addition William was the second highest scorer on the Pony Basketball team and won a varsity letter in track, making himself the lirst mem- ber of the section to become an M Club- ber. Samuel Harwood tried to make the varsity football team last fall, but his greatest success was with the academics. He won the 'ATime Current Affairs Test in the freshman class and became the sec- tion's first representative in the Scroll Club. Here he was joined by Iohn Hor- l FRESHMAN c Second Term Second Term VVilliam Fitzpatrick George Eggert Samuel Harwood Marshall Grimm Marco Clayton Hubert Girard Iohn Hordyk George Eggert dyk, who played several minor parts in McBurney's production of The Taming of the Shrew . Constantino Lantzounis worked seriously all year in the coat room, for his willing service he was awarded a Service Ring on Recognition Day. VValter Donahue, who is the section's third repre- sentative in the Scroll Club, won the honor through his activity in dramaticsg he played one of the major roles, Tranio, in The Taming of the Shrew. Iohn Hordyk, Marco Clayton, and john Wor- rell won shop certificates, while Vincent D'Agostino and Iohn Munro were awarded recognition for improvement in shop. In February a new section, Freshman C, was organized for the students who had entered McBurney at midyear. The members of the section concentrated on their studies, 2596 of the class making the Honor Roll against 521 for the rest of the school and Cameron Hopper be- coming a member of the Key Club. In addition, Cameron made the iinals of the Declamation Contest, and Nathan Reed was in thc Extemporaneous Finals. SUB-FRESHMEN First Term Second Term Robert Myers President Carlo Howden Albert McDonald V ice-President Albert McDonald 1061 Halop Secretary Ted Basil Harold WVetter . Harold Vtletter Karl Schenzer Student Council Owen Ancheu The sub-freshmen were extremely active all year. That is normal, the sub-freshmen of McBurney have been noted for years for that quality. In October the section organized itself into a soccer team, every boy o11 the roster took part in the project, and each one played at some time during the season. Of the nine games played, McBurney won three, lost four, and tied two. When the soccer season ended, the basketball season began. Here again the entire sec- tion entered into the game. On Parents- Alunmi Night, the team met the pick of the Lower School boysg the Subfreshmen won. When the students returned from Easter recess, the baseball season started. The first game was lost to Riverdale, io-5. The following day the boys met the Pro- fessional Children's team. They almost won, being edged out in the seventh inning, 11-10. St. Thomas drubbed the team in its third game, 16-4. Buckley re- peated the drubbing in the next game, de- feating McBurney 13-4. The low point of the season was the game with Barnard, lost by the Sub-freshmen, 12-o. Trinity then won the next game 18-3. This was too much, and the team members re- solved to salvage something from the wreckage of the season. They tied Staten Island Day School in the next game, 9-9. Then in one wild spree, getting revenge for all of the defeats of the season, the boys rose up and slugged the ball all over the field, defeating Cathedral Choir 26-17. The sub-freshman exhibit for Parents- Alumni was one of the best in the school. The high points of this exhibit were oil paintings by Donald Wittenberg and rail- road models by Don Smithers. In the academic contests, Trafford Allpass, Owen Anchell, Carlo Howden. Philip Cambridge, Harold Wetter, and Herbert Burkard made the finals of various con- tests. Herbert Burkard was elected to the Key Club and inducted at the Clubs Banquet. The boys of the section are looking forward to next term, when, as ninth graders, they will be an important part of MeBurney's Upper School. LOWER SCHOOL First Term Second Term Allen Martell President Robert Merz Anthony Montana Vice President Eric Dunn Iohn Seibold Secretary Iohn Seibold David Adams . Allen Martell .

Health-Ar nold Golembe, Safety - Eric Dunn: Trips-Ross Giese and john Durante: Clean-Up-Clifford Ikerd and jay Gum- mersbachg Welcoming-Leszek vV2lCllfCl. The popular physical education program in the gymnasiums, swimming pools, and park gave many a boy l1is first start in major sports. Thirty-three athletic letters were earned in spirited 'contests with friendly opponents from Dalton, Horace- Mann, Lincoln, Ethical Culture, River- dale, and St. Thomas. Robert Smith won the track medal, john Heinemann the Silver Basketball, the Best Swinnner medal went to Allen Martel, the minature baseball to joseph LoBono, and the soccer award to Anthony Montana.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE This year the Assembly Committee, that incubator of future stage directors, was led by Charles Trojahn. Norman Klein was vice-president during the first term. In February, Edmund Trost, who had been stage manager, succeeded him. William Totten took over the stage man- ager's job for the remainder of the year. Many of the assembly programs were devoted to the semi-finals and the finals of the Academic Contests. In addition to these, the committee arranged for the rallies introducing the various drives and for the presentation of numerous educa- tional films. The committee also took care of the scene shifting on the nights of the dramatic club productions, ar- ranged the Little Theatre for the school dances, and managed the staging effects which made Parents-Alumni Night such a signal success. One of the most important functions of the committee was the use and care of the Recordio. With the cooperation of the committee, Mr. Chamberlin and Mr. Liggett had discs made by each boy in their English classes. These discs, given to the students, had much to do with the improved oratory in the school. In addition to the oflicers, William Meeks and William Gatehouse, and the projection crew of Randolph Tyndall, Donald Wittenberg, and Neal Riesner, were very active. Y. M. C. A. FINANCIAL DRIVE Last year McBurney again went over the top in the annual financial drive in support of the New York Y. M. C. A. program. In Ianuary the student commit- tee-Iames Hooper chairman, Iames Lange, and Stewart O'Neil-met with Mr. Chamberlin and arranged the details of the drive. Quotas were assigned to each section, and the race was on. The race was not particularly interest- ing, the Sophomores went ahead in the first days of the campaign and drew fur- ther and further ahead as the days passed. They finally won the drive with 25327 of their quota, the best record in many years. The Lower School took sec- ond place with 14076 of their quota. The winning Sophomore section were taken to a Chicago-Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Gardens as the reward for its line showing in the drive. In all the school collected S2810.00, well over the S1750 quota which was as- signed to it. PARENTS-ALUMNI NIGHT On February zo, the worst snowstorm in five years blew into New York. By the time the snow had stopped falling, three foot drifts blocked the streets. Despite the inclemency of the weather, however, six hundred parents and alumni attended the annual exhibition. The visitors were amply rewarded for their efforts. Mr. Deme staged a diversi- fied show in the North Gym, including wrestling, fencing, boxing, basketball, calisthenics, gymnastics, and tumbling. The highlight of the show was the drill, performed in the dark with only the dumbells, painted in phosphorescent colors, showing. Both the Lower and Up- per Schools demonstrated swimming and diving techniques in the Pompeian Pool. Each classroom contained an exhibit of the students' work. As usual the crowd Hocked to the laboratories ,where a physics-chemistry demonstration was put on by Edward McCluskey, Giulius Ghiron, Robert Hawkinson, Robert Kunkel, Iohn Evanthes, Leon Spoliansky, Guy Strauss, Robert Rundle, William Ruckstuhl, Alan Hays, and Sanford Ho- hauser. Mr. Ingoldsby transferred his reading clinic to the Little Theatre where he showed all of the school's mechanical equipment. The evening ended with dancing in the North Gym. The committee in charge of arrange- ments consisted of Iames Hooper, chair- man, Iames Scott, Edward McCluskey, VVilliam Mitchell, Stanley Erichsen, and William Prager. Charles Trojahn did an efficient piece of work in painting the dumbells, setting up the public address system, and preparing the rooms for the exhibits. MCBURNEIAN The NICBURNEIAN this year won its second successive first class award in the National Scholastic Press Association's country wide contest. Editor Klein feels that the school has just cause to feel proud of this record. Besides Norman Klein, Iames Scott fsportsl, Iames Hoop- er, Robert Kunkel fby-linesj, William Peniche Qcolumnistl, and Edward Mc- Cluskey feditorialsj were the students re- sponsible for this high ranking. The advertising manager, William Prager, worked valiantly and well to keep the newspaper solvent. In the advertising contests, sponsored by Rogers Peet, Bruce Wald and Charles Angell won first prizes while Robert Simon received honorable mention. In all, ten issues of the MCBURNEIAN were produced, the most interesting being the Christmas, Parents-Alumni, and Crad- uation issues. All events were completely covered, even the interclass games and the semi-finals of the academic contests. By supporting such extra-curricular activ- ities, and also the dances and the plays, the MCBURNEIAN contributed its share to their success. XVhen May and examinations ap- proached, the Senior members of the staff turned over their offices to the Iuniors who had been elected to replace them. Next year's staff-Richard Ott, editor, Stewart O'Neill, managing editor, VValter Rutherford and Robert McCuigan, assist- ants-are fully capable of carrying on thc RICBURNEIAN tradition. SCROLL CLUB The Scroll Club, organized to take care of the school's academic activities, had an unusually successful year. At the first meeting Iames Hooper was elected presi- dent, and the club was organized for busi- ness. Alan Dirlam was put in charge of the college catalogues, and William Ruckstuhl was appointed to manage the Activity Room. During the year both boys did a splendid job in their departments. Twenty-live members of the club hav- ing graduated in 1946, the membership had fallen to thirty-eight. In its January meeting, the Academic Council, the members of which are the presidents and chairmen of the various student activities, elected thirteen new members. These were inducted at the mid-year recognition day. In May two more meetings of the council were held, at which twelve more boys were rewarded for their efforts during the year by being elected members. These boys received their scrolls on Recognition Day and at the Clubs Banquet. At the end of the term one-quarter of the students of McBurney wore the scroll, the emblem of leadership in academic activities. Twenty McBurneyites had won silver scrolls, and three, Charles Trojahn, Leon Spoliansky, and Iames Hopper, had been honored with gold scrolls. PANORAMA PANORALIA, McBurney's literary inaga- zine, is unique among the school's pub- lications: Mr. Chamberlin, the faculty adviser, has no part in the production ex- cept the proof-reading of the articles. All of the other work, including the printing and binding of the magazine, is done by the members of the staff. During the year, four issues of PANOR- AMA appeared. The fall issue 'was notable for its excellent cover, a drawing of Winston Churchill done by Bruce Church, the art editor. For the winter issue Guy Strauss interviewed Edgar Bergen and obtained several autographed photographs for publication. This issue also contained an interview with Ben Grauer, NBC's special events man. Rob- ert Ranelle, G. I., contributed an interest- ing article to the spring issue. For this one, Guy Strauss interviewed lose Ferrer, who was playing the role of Cyrano de Bergerac on Broadway at the time. The summer PANAORAMA broke away from the unsatisfactory mimeographing process, the new lithograph machine was used for the work. Shaded drawings can be produced on this machine, and paper can be printed on both sides. During the year PANORAINIA acquired a coat of arms and a motto, Ce qui plait est demi-venduf' The staff is proud of the motto. Leon Spoliansky, who directed PANOR- ASIA for two years. graduated in june. The magazine is now in the hands of Francis Pardo, Guy Strauss, Elward Bresett, William VValter, and Bruce Church. fr nv 9' 'Y 'f,4'5 1 5'7 . mn fx 4Y:'9!x w? gggxwwk FR' his A An E 55' , M Q 1, , , , If A W x , x 1 'gl Q' V Z .sl is kg, ,ggi Q .F M 'W' WZ 'av' 1+ ? wr - Q ,.. ,lt 1 f , A Ev W , Q fgvfi rim 9 f 5 5' ' 4 fa ' 4 gg 'J I 1 mpg?

YVilliam Ruckstuhl and Roger Carasso won their matches while Xcal Riesner drew. That was the first and last victory. In the second match, Roger Carasso and YVilliam Ruekstuhl drew and the others lost: accordingly Nc' Burney lost to Trinity, 1-g.

V ACADEMIC CONTESTS Last year McBurney completed its full roster of acamedic contests, seven speak- ing contests, one essay contest, a current affairs contest, a math contest, and the three activity room contests. The season started with spelling. Be- fore a packed auditorium, Giulius Chiron outlasted Edward Carson to win, Christ- ian Raffalli came in third. In the Hobby Talks, the second contest, Christian Rafialli won with a talk on throwingknives, Bernard Sohn and Robert Simon, both of whom talked on photography, took second and third. In the Book Mart, Ieremy Felt, who had taken four third places in 1946- 47, came into his own and won with a talk on Walden , Peter Iones, who was second, discussed Shaw, and William Walter, third, sold the audience a cook book. In the Vocabulary Contest, An- thony Kelly defined the word that Robert Kunkel missed and was awarded first place, Iames Scott placed third. In the Oratorical Contest more spirited speech was thrown at the audience than Mc- Burney has heard for some time. Charles Angell, short on argument but long on emotion, won with an impassioned de- nunciation of the use of the veto in the United Nations. Ieremy Felt was second, and Guy Strauss, third. The Declamation Contest, restricted to the three lower classes, was won by Bruce Wald, Alfred Killerman was second with The Congo , and George Kinnell was third with Ulysses . The last of the speaking con- tests, that tour de force known as the Extemporaneous Contest, in which the contestants have two minutes in which to make up a two minute speech on a sub- ject selected by lot from the morning newspaper, was won by Ieremy Felt, with Iefi Colby second, and Robert Kunkel third. In this contest only one boy of the twenty finalists failed to talk the required time. The writing contests are less spectacular than the speaking ones-there is no audi- ence, no applause-but they are equally important. Lewis Hill, a Sophomore, won the Essay Contest, with Christian Raf- falli second and Alan Dirlam third. The Math Contest was won by Edward Mc- Cluskey and Iames Heineman. Arthur Hawkins topped the Pegity Ladder, Roger Carasso finished the year as the best chess player, and William Ruckstuhl, beaten by Roger at chess, gained the leadership in checkers. ln the competition for the Academic Plaque, the winning of which is the aim of the academic contests, the Seniors started out with an early lead. They in- creased this with each contest, until they had built up a commanding lead of sixty points. Unforunately, the Seniors neg- lected the Activity Room ladders, they preferred the pool room. When Mr. Weeks read the pegity, chess, and check- ers ladders, he discovered that the Seniors had won 27 points and the Iuniors 89. The Iuniors won the Academic Plaque. CLASS SCORES Pe. Fr E0 s.

'Wim' FOOTBALL XYith the return of Coaeh Deme from the armed forees, lNlel3urney hoped for a football squad whieh eould do hetter than had the ones of the previous three years. ln faet, despite the laela of experi- eneed eandidates, Nlellurnes' hoped for a victorious season. 'l'hese hopes were not realized in the first game. On l ield Day. in a downpour of rain at Pelham Bay Park. the Kle- Bnrney team lost to a fast. eapahle Xlont' elair squad. llowever, two touchdowns seored in the final period showed that the team had possibilities. 'l'hese possihilf ities turned into realities the following weeli XYllC1l the lhlCBllfllCy'lllC1l easily' de- feated Buxton. Nlellurney had not def reloped suflieienthg however. to handle the hlontelair team. as they diseovered the following week. hlontelair seored .5 points as they had hefore. while Nle' Burney raised its total from 1: to 15. 'l'wo easy vietories over Collegiate eompleted the season. 'l'he team was seeond in the Xletropoli- tan Six-hlan Football League. Stan l'lriehsen made the haelctield of the tirst team on the .Xll,I,eague team. and Sheld- on Stillman was ehosen right end. Pete lfitxgihhons and Dave l7el.ong made the seeond team. VARSITY SOCCER 'l'he 1946 soeeer team fought its way through a grueling ten game sehedule. Taking on Carden Country Din Sehool in the opener, lXlCBlll'llCf' started the sea- son in proper style by winning Zfl. ln the seeond game, against lloraee Nlanu. the Green and XVhite held the foe to a :fz tie until the last five minutes. 'l'hen Me- l3urney's defense eollapsed, and lloraee hlann won. 4-1. 'l'his defeat disheartened the squad and defeats by the strong Bronxville lligh and lloraee Nlannflan- eoln squads followed. ln the fifth game. hleliurney won again, heating Columbia Crarmner 140 in overtime. During the tirst two minutes of the extra period. Captain Iames Seott. aided hy .Xl lfrey and Phil Denman, drihhled through the entire Columbia Clraunnar team to seore. lop---'I he toothall stalnarts Seeoml-H--Nlarsilx soteer 'I lnrd-Ninth grade soeter lloltorn-lfighlh grade XUQLLT The second half of the season was disastrous, some of the best players failed to meet McBurney's strict academic standards and were declared ineligible. Substitutes had to be found to replace them. Brooklyn Friends and Fieldston vanquished the booters. Then, slithering in mud and soaked by the rain, McBurney lost to Riverdale, 5-2. In the ninth game, Coach Bear's cohorts put up a magnifi- cent scrap against Staten Island Day School but lost 3-1. The season ended with a o-o tie, the opponent being Birch- XYathen. In Iune the team lost Iames Scott, Ned Smith, lack Stewart, Henry XVolFf, Robert Gtterbourg, Walter Ellis, and Leon Spo- liansky. Returning next year will be letter- men Roger Carasso, Dick Gasparre, Phil Denman, Robert Losch, Francis Pardo and Karl Leuffen. VARSITY BASKETBALL The record of this year's basketball squad was anything but impressive, five won and twelve lost. The team lacked age. experience, and height, it also lacked reserves. Iohn and Iames Lange, Warren Lutz. Warreii Lutzel, and lames Scott constituted the first team, there were three reserves, Dick Marinaro, Bob Lanino, and Gay Keith. The first four games were dismal af- fairs. McBurney losing to Trinity, New- ark Academy, Brooklyn Academy, and Horace Mann-Lincoln. The game with Locust Valley Friends provided the first victory, the Galloping Camels winning by the score of 46-20. In the next game Dwight set back a McBurney team for. the first time in many years. The next two games were victories, over Barnard and Staten Island Day School, the only consecutive wins of the season. Following these victories, the squad lost to Adelphi, won from Irving, and then lost four-to Columbia Grammar, De la Salle, Loyola, and Poly Prep. Invited for the third year in a row to the New York Athletic Club Tourna- ment. the team did its best to make up for a poor season. In the first match McBurney defeated a highly rated Stony Brook squad 56-go. In the semi-final and consolation rounds, however, the team was not so successful, losing hard fought games to Trinity and Poly Prep. Next year Coach Guernsey must build his team around the nucleus of lames Lange, Gay Keith, and Dick Marinaro. since lohn Lange, Warren Lutz, Warren Lutzel, Iames Scott, and Bob Lanino are graduating. J. V. BASKETBALL The V. basketball season started with a flourish last December when fifty candi- dates answered Coach Busch's call for a team. Three weeks later, however, the squad had been reduced to eleven boys. The season opened with two victories over Franklin School-the first by the score of 28-2 5, the second, 31-28. A string of four defeats followed after the de- parture of Coach Busch from school left the team without a coach. When Mr. Eisele took over, the team once more played its normal game, de- feating Adelphi, a team which had form- erly defeated them, by the score of 48- 23, and losing a close one to Lincoln School, 37-35. Haynes Iohnson, playing right forward, scored 79 points during the season, Stew- art O'Neill and Elliott Labiner, left for- ward and center, netted 69 each, Donald Shroder, right guard, accounted for 44 points, and Arthur Hawkins, left guard. for 28. The replacements were Al Leder- kramer, Faust Ystueta, Eduardo Caffron, and Allen Head. SWIMMING When the 1947 season opened the Mc- Burney mermen had a record of seventeen straight victories in dual meets. Although the team was without the services of Ray Reid, who graduated last Iune, it had high hopes of continuing this record. Last year's veterans plus several newcom- ers made a team which seemed balanced and capable. After several weeks of practice, the actual composition of the team was de- cided on. Freestyle swimmers were ,Ernest Tarof, Ken Bridges, Barrie Trebor, Robert McGuigan, Dave DeLong, Tullio Borri, Bryant Hopper, and Robert Otterbourg. 1 11LlC'1i51l'111iC 111111 111011sts11o110 1711818 11 C111 t1 812111 1'11'1011s011.

INTERCLASS ATHLETICS Last year interclass athletics at Mc- Burney were stressed even more than in- terschool contests. Each section had its own team in every one of the following sports: swimming, tennis, track, floor hockey, basketball, foul shooting, diving, indoor track, ping-pong, wrestling, box- ing, handball, indoor baseball, spring track, and spring tennis. By the end of the year, every boy in school had been on several of his section's teams. . Competition was keen from the start, but the,Soph0more section, aided by ten points won at Fall Field Day, drew ahead during October. Until April, Special C offered them their strongest competition, and since the two sections often met in the contests, the resulting matches were as spirited as varsity events. During the last two months, Freshmen B started to move, but the Sophomores had a lead which the younger boys were unable to overcome. When the points were tabu- lated, the Sophomores won, Freshmen B came in second, and Special C was third. The ,Sophomores deserved the victory, they put fighting teams on the floor in each event and won points in all of them.
