In the boys Intramural basketball, two teams were selected from the two grades and a schedule of fifteen games were played.

Latin Club he Senior Latin Club organized at the beginning of the term by electing Barbara Silleck and Jack McCaffery consuls; Marge McCaffery, Quaestor; Clotilde Karsten, Cenatrix; and Emily Kaelin and Joan Rothman, Scribae. The organization meeting marked the beginning of a very successful season, which included the adoption of a new constitution and participation in several suppers and parties. The Latin I Club elected the following officers: Consuls, Joan Kaelin and Robert Machinchick; Scribaes, Barbara Cochran and Joan Cassidy; Quaestor, Meryle Newbold; Cenatrix, Muriel Mullen. Of course, the climax of this season’s festivities was Initiation on May 20 - 21. For two days, the twenty “Goats” assembled on the front steps, morning and noon, wearing different colored socks, pigtails tied with ribbons and men’s garters (on the girls), with high heel shoes and makeup (boys included). There they satisfied the desires of the Honorable Senatores. Each goat brought to his or her boss a sweet morsel of food, wrapped as a gift, “as a token of his undying love” for the highly esteemed person. After two days of subjugation, the Goats, on the evening of May 21, were led blindfolded over hill and dale and through the streets of Southold. Finishing touches were added to the already administered horrors at the secret meeting place, and then everyone assembled in the school cafeteria for the formal initiation. Following the formal proceedings, all partook of the fine refreshments provided by Cenatrix Clotilde Karsten: sandwiches, punch, and ice cream sundaes. When the Goats and Bosses departed this time, all of them were full-fledged members of the Senior Latin Club, and throughout all the proceedings, everyone observed the motto, “Semper Socii” —“Always Friends”. twenty-six

Like myself, some people wish That they could only find A way of looking far beyond-For their love has made them blind. I think that I have found a way That is better than them all-It is, to keep your eyes ahead And never fall at all. court. Many more of the fellows have participated in track events.

STUDY HALL Study hall is a place for quotes But not concerning class; Study hall is a place for notes For everyone to pass; Study hall is a busy place— With bubble gum and stuff, Study hall isn’t study hall.

Press Club he Press Club staff has been on a literal all-work-and-no play schedule this year. There has been nothing social about it, the staff has worked hard to put out the Echo and the Snuff Box. During the winter there were frequent meetings of the entire group in the library to discuss and plan for the next issues. The pupils of the lower grades have contributed considerable material for the Echo and they have also been periodic buyers of the paper. We would like to thank especially Marge Mc-Caffery, Editor-in-Chief, for her diligence and perserverence at her job; and Jean Boergesson, who has done most of the art work all year long, and who has done a wonderful job at it. Though there has been a degree of work attached to it, we have all thoroughly enjoyed being able to help out, and we hope that next years staff will have as much fun. Camera Club his year the Camera Club got off to a late start, but when the first meeting was held, there were quite a few enthusiastic “photo bugs” present. Officers elected at the first meeting were as follows: President - Harlan Chase; Vice-Presi- dent - Bud Hunter; Secretary-Treasurer - Barbara Pulese. The purpose of this club is to teach to the members the different phases of photography, not only the taking of the pictures, but the developing and printing of them. The instructions are given under the supervision of Mr. Dart. At each meeting a different phase of photography is covered and explained by a club member. There was such a late start there were few meetings, but activities consisted of sponsoring the Photo Contest and getting “snaps” for the Snuff Box. The Club wishes to thank Mr. Rothman for his contribution of gifts for the Photo Contest. The members of the camera club are as follows: Rose Norklun, Joan Cassidy, Charles Kar-sten, Clotilde Karsten, Meryle Newbold, Bobby Cochran, Barbara Pulese, Stanley Dickseski, Frank Diller, Margaret Neary, Harlan Chase, Jack Donahue, Jack McCaffery, George Kaelin, Jimmy Kaelin, Ed Lademann, Gerry Bradnick, Tom O’Dell, Paul Carroza, Chip Hunter, Art Youngs, Newton Concepcion, A1 Sanford, Martha Cochran, Muriel Mullen, Sue Knight and Frank Dickseski. twenty-seven
