HI-LITES FEBRUARY College Boards marks arrive . . . the class average in verbals is 590. Nash and Cox are elected president and vice-president. All is peace at the Packer dance. After eight years of patient effort, McBurney acquires a Drivers Education car. The merman beat Peekskill at Colgate to become state champs . . . the med- ley relay team sets a new meet mark at Prince- ton. The basketball team wins three straight. The first of the college acceptances come in . . . Brown to Columbia, Mills to Swarthmore, and Florence to Oklahoma. MARCH The natators win the Westchester and A.A.- P.S. meets by large margins . . . never has McBurney produced such a team. Parents- Alumni Night draws a huge crowd. The Ninth Grade basketball team wins the district cham- pionship but loses in the borough. Minoia gives Colgate the once over. Caterson and Gavigan invade the Emma Willard School for girls. Mr. Leonard has a nervous breakdown when Sloss gets behind the controls of the new car. Now and then Steve Heyman brings up the subject of the blazers. Rumor has it that the McBurney schedule is going to be revised, eliminating the noon general education periods. APRIL Young, Snyder, and Leffler are seen in the streets appropriating new hub caps for McBurn- ey's pet Chevrolet. The hockey team loses the Stanley Cup by default . . . no ice in the swimming pool. Trial by fury and Down in the Valley are howling successes. leremie Griffith creates the missing link in the lab . . . the aver- age l.Q. of the school rises. McCartney, Rose, Eichhorn -even Caterson and Zapf swim their way into college. Acceptances pour in so fast that the office has trouble keeping the seniors posted. Spring fever hits the class, but no one seems to mind except the baseball, track, tennis, and golf coaches. MAY AND IUNE The Maypole Dance is a huge success . . . so is the May Day Parade. The lunior-Senior Prom at the N.Y.A.C. enlivens things for a few days. The dramatists present The Hasty Heart. Recognition Day . . . he who hasn't given the faculty some reason for recognizing him has certainly wasted his year. Clubs Banquet . . . more awards . . . also big, black cigars. Mr. Leonard leaves for Europe . . . he wants to pick up some driving pointers from the taxi men of Paris. Graduation comes at last. Old seniors never die, they just pass! Page 45
