The Grange Nine issues before we escaped at Mid-years, we took one look at the chaotic mess in the O8zB filing cabinet and shook our heads in amazed horror. It took us a whole year, but finally, the paper is running at the highest level of efficiency possible. We only hope that Schmid, Turney, 84 Co. can do the impossible. The first issue, as has been the case since time began, was put out only with the greatest of difhculty. Many a late hour was spent at Mr. Abell's in an all out effort to present the most up-to-date news 6 only two weeks old, instead of threej. Because of an in- credible ability to rationalize, we convinced ourselves that the more disorganized and hectic a time we had in putting it out, the more like a 'real' newspaper the Orange and Blue would appear. We think we almost succeeded, for our first 'cutting and pasting' session was thrown into hopeless turmoil because the belated Yearbook pho- tographers decided they needed pictures of the old board at work. CWe think they would have had a hard time finding the old board at work anytime.J Needless to say, we slept through most of our classes We reaped the rewards of our labors that Friday when we went to the Girls' School and upped the number of subscriptions there by about IOOQE. Our Magus editors, Suzabelle and Curtsy, later to become famous, or

The Chamber Music Society The Chamber Music Society began its fourth season with a fanfare, supplied by Dick Hartzell on the trumpet. There has been a great deal of interest shown in the organization this year, and with good results. The Society was able to produce a most enjoyable concert. fEnjoyable for the performers at any rate, as a reward for hard work.J An interesting interpretation of a Haydn Trio for violin, 'cello and piano was given by Newton, Hitzig, and Curtis on their re- spective instruments. The Flute and Iiute Society of Stone CDD and Kemp provided entertainment with a lilting duet. The third class quartet was one of the more dedicated groups, being well-organized. They show great potential for the next two years, and we are sure they and the Society will have great success. This year, on the whole, despite the usual difficulties such as scheduling and the lack of certain crucial instruments, was a satisfying one. This is largely a result of the expert supervision of Mrs. Freeman, who supplied us untiringly with her help and talents. Kemp and Stone Curtis, Hitzig, and Newton

Editors Chico and J. B. Cut, slash . . . and Blue iriflunous, as tht- that may bc, were the prime reason fog 1-ur financial success 'across the strcef. Each succeeding newspaper was produced with less and less confusion, and more and better news, until we got too ambitious. Our first paper last fall was six columns. Although very proud of the accomplishment, we lost just under S100 in the process. And even more discouraging, most of our perceptive readers did not realize that we had added another column. As a result of moral and financial dejection, we've had a five-column paper ever since. There were few real crises to meet this year. But some of our more bigoted enemies did print an anti- O8cB sheet last year. We note, however, that they are no longer in active business. As usual, though, our opposition was chiefiy from the faculty. The English Depart- ment stewed when our papers were a day late, claiming we didn't know what a deadline was! What a paradox! Although we weren't always ap- preciated, we felt we really did learn a great deal. Some of us may go on to work for the Yale Crimson or the Harvard Daily, for all it was a very rewarding and worthwhile experience. We just hope, over our superficial sympathy for the incoming hoard, that they will enjoy it as much as every one of us did,
