Rapone was chosen commissioner, while Jeanette Isolano and Bob Smith starred in Yeomen of the Guard. JANUARY . . . as is traditional, saw some new leaves turned over. Bill Mezick was elected president of the C.O., Arista chose Gladys Koehler and Tom Byrne as its new leaders, and 350 seniors got their diplomas. FEBRUARY . . . heard Alan Singer,s band at the March of Dimesv dance. The Domino Variety Show featured a farce, but dead serious was the C.O. when it or- ganized a Defense Aid Council, which started the sale of War Savings Stamps. MARCH . . . threw out its chest in pride as 1,800 baseball tickets were sold and Domino won Medalist award at Columbia. Arista defiantly held a dance on Friday the 13th. The juniors enjoyed sketches and dancing at their Jamboree. APRIL . . . may have been fooling, but the baseball team wasn't when it took the season's opener from Cleveland, 8-0. Arista elected 69 new members, and the music groups presented Rose Maiden. Dome came out in Red-White and-Blue. MAY . . . breezes wafted the gaiety of the first Spring Dance, C.O. sponsored, and the drama of Stage Door, featuring Dorothy Nolan, Bill Mezick, Jerry Fuchs, and Estelle Jussim. The new G.O. officers, Cecil Rhodes, Bob Birn- baum, Mildred Steiger, Wallace Croatman, and Tom Brennan, were elected by a new party system. JUNE . . . bade sad farewell to the graduating Hillites, but not before the seventh termers had had their evening dance and the eighth termers their Senior Prom.

The past year has been one of the most critical in athletics in many seasons. Several sports were abolished, others were threatened with curtail- ment, and still others fared poorly in competition. ln addition, there was a tightening up in the regulations of the Health lfducation Department, as a result ol. the war. lfurther cooperating with the war efliort, the department is sponsoring aliter-seliool recreation in various sports, in keeping with the national policy ol' physical fitness. l irst Aid instructions have been given in hygiene classes, amd Nlr. llarley Thomas, member of the Health Education Department, has been training a group to serve as a First Aid unit in emergencies. llillites are being ollered many opportunities to keep their health up to it high standard by adequate exercise. There are two bowling groups, which meet several times during the week. Students so desiring are permitted to complement their regular P. T. classes with activity in swimming. There is also a Leaders' Club, under the direction of T Mr. Harley Thomas in the absence of Mr. Hugh Hutchison. This club has met every Thursday during the term. Members make use of the apparatus in the gymnasium and improve their health with varied exercises. Basketball results were not up to par. After two close losses to Bayside and Long lsland City, the squad fell apart. They showed no sort of form until they met Far Rockaway in an engagement on the home hardwood and gained revenge for an ear- lier defeat at the Rockets, hands. The final figures were Richmond Hill -11, Far Rock- away 37. The Hillites, playing a return contest against the city champion, Andrew Jackson, again showed promise when they held the vaunted Hickories to a 31-21 count. ,lim Stephans, the one player besides Captain Jim Brennan and George Kaiser to receive a major letter, is the only starter of this past season graduating. Hopes, , therefore, are at a high level for next T T season. , Mr. lsidore Mabel was fortunate in fond
