Continued from page 34 An insistent pounding has arisen from the second floor, it comes from the room of the only boy on this floor, Bob Langheinz. Bob is also in the Glee Club. He played football until a cracked rib forced him to retire from athletics. As we walk into his room, he is busy nailing his radio under the mattress, so Mr. Hogan cannot find it when Bob Hope comes on after lights. At this moment Mr. Hogan saunters in and the plot is uncovered. Mr. Hogan is new this year, but has won a place with the boys. In his English classes he teaches the boys how to write, keeps a highly prized i'Preferred Listv of those who write well enough for publication. On the third floor, strange noises are issuing from Stan Mannis room. It is a relief to discover he is only struggling with his mandolin. Stan is assistant manager of Basketball and Football, and is jointly responsible for the menagerie in the Nature Boom of the Gamma House. Mr. Blake, at last fed up with it all, suddenly shouts above the din, 'KShut up, Mannlv Mr. Blake, a veteran of six years at Prep, combines a dry wit with a patient disposition, causing him to be much sought after by the boys as an advisor. His keen interest in and knowledge of sports makes him an asset to the school. Besides the hours spent in coaching math, Mr. Blake also acted as coach of the highly successful V. Basketball team. Little Lou Peters Robbins pounds up the stairs like a herd of elephants. Lou is famous for being the smallest and loudest boy in the boarding school this year. The Beta House would not seem right without Lou's, But I didnit have anything to do with it, Mr. Blake! echoing plaintively through the corridors. There goes the Study Hall bell! Al Conhagen comes in time to throw him- self on his bed before he is marked late. Al is the athlete of the House, having made a name for himself in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Mr. Blake has just threatened to toss Mann's mandolin into the canal, Robbins and Simonson have settled down to trading comic books, Conhagen is sound asleep, Mr. Hogan has confiscated Langheinzis radio, and quiet reigns over the Beta House.

Don was a veteran at Prep and everyone misses him. 3 Also on the first Hoor lives the master of the house, Mr. Heinlein, 3 T with his gracious wife and their newly arrived baby daughter, Carol. Mr. Heinlein is popular with all the boys for his quiet manner and con- sistently cheerful nature. At the head of the stairs on the second floor we find the ever-beaming countenance of Sev Golojuck, a senior in the University who acts as proctor for the Alpha House. jack QDrummini Mani Newton and john Swallick hastily slip comic books into their desks as Sev performs his disagreeable duty of checking on the boys during study hall. lack inquires with a distinct Southern drawl fhe hails from Marylandj : Whassa matter?,, Meanwhile Per'tamboyi' Swallick innocently reads his algebra book, upside down.

HE call for football candidates issued by Coach Holley in the latter part of September, 1943, was answered by about thirty-five fellows, L only five of whom had previously played for Prep. These were Lefty Ewing, Ted Minde, Don Conhagen, Linwood Lee, and f- ' . sg 55934 Fred Klein. The squad was divided into the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. Many of the I.V.,s saw action in the Varsity games, and to them we extend a vote of thanks for being on call when the Iron Men needed a breather. With all the disadvantages of limited manpower and inexperience, the boys were determined to make a good showing. ' SAYREVILLE The season opened on October 9, when Sayreville High played host to the Prepsters. The Bombers were a little more than Prep could handle, posting a 20 to 0 victory in drives of 73, 50, and 40 yards. Even though the final score presented a gloomy picture, there were times when the light shone through. The heads-up playing of Russian,, Potosky and Dink Coddington in the line, and Betz and MacKay in the backfield, kept the score from climbing any higher. Often when a Bomber backfield man would seem to be getting in the clear, Potosky would appear from what appeared to be nowhere, to down him, at other times Betz or Ewing greeted him.
