joy-ride from New York in a windowless, windshield-wiperless, lightless Feepmo- bile with the incidental features of two tire changes and frequent stalls on rail- road tracks and in toll gates during the famous hurricane of '4'7. It is the duty of form historians to por- tray the more amusing aspects of the form with an exaggeration that is the perogative of literary, not to say poetic, license. Though the incidents related have shown only the lighter side of our school career, we have dedicated ourselves seri- ously to the improvement of the school to the best of our ability, what with efforts to reorganize the Student Council and to revive interest in important and bene- ficial extracurricular activities, such as journalism, debating and dramatics, to mention a few. Neither has the foregoing account related our development to a united and mutually co-operative Sixth Form or the debt we owe for that develop- ment to the faculty and the school. Our thanks first go to Mr. and Mrs. Brewster who have acted in loco parentis to us since they arrived in 1943. Mr. Brewster in particular has shown a personal interest and affection toward each one of us, and, as everybody who has contributed to our education here, has consistently acted un- selfishly for our best interests. We are also grateful to Mr. Barber, who, aside from his many athletic and academic contacts with us, has understandingly dealt with the dual difficulty of being both the LION and the form adviser. Mr. Goodridge, whose friendliness, humor, and excellent teaching the Class of '47 has particularly appreciated, carries with him as he retires our thanks and best wishes. The many others to whom we are deeply appreciative for their aid and encouragement are too numerous to mention, needless to say, we shall never forget, you, and the influence you have had on our lives is great. We leave, then, a school that is a great institution and one that, we hope, will constantly become greater over the years. As alumni, we will always be vitally interested in St. Mark'sg to those who re- main, we bequeath a rich heritage with the hope that you will make the most of your great opportunity.

terial for his one-man faculty meetings as we reviewed the doings of that irre- pressible combo, Boone and Calhoun and were instructed in a Fine style about the migratory habits of the cattle and the hogs. The exams took place on April 12 and inspired a thorough disinclination for work of any kind thereafter. The St. lNlark's Country Club was formed, with sinecures of various types for everybody in the form, but, after some short-lived letter paper was printed, soon died out and gave way to Teen-Ager hlike the Sleaze with his select group of oodle- laddles in their imported, Brooks Broth- ers bobby sox. Quad activities were typi- cal of the carefree attitude of the class, with a form of mass slaughter by the name of Creepy-Crawly featuring LeRoy in scanty garb reminiscent of the nineties and leading up to large scale water fights where marksmen, operating from Archie and Mike's room in A, extended their activities from the Sixth Form to cover the entire school. Baseball under Captain Ezra progressed amazingly Well, culminating in a 5-2 victory over Groton and the usual cele- bration. The crew, however, although bolstered by Captain Pete, was inexpe- rienced and could only look to the next season. llanager Freeman tried his best to finance the season by directing Brave Dave's speculation on the ponies, but with not too much success. Blost of the form trod the boards in Shep's musical extravaganza which with- out the hindrance of a plot intrigued the alumni immensely. Will reached the thespian peak of her career by using se- ductive hips to best advantage in a fas- cinating hula-hula number, and Palmer provided a hilarious finish to form ac- tivities when he declaimed on the vicis- situdes of the lIcGurk family among other amusing tidbits to a hysterical school. An impressive and sentimental Prize Day on June 6 was a fitting end to the school careers of all but two eager Lions, who departed for Southboro after a re- union chez Valvo to write a yearbook. Palm and Garry, unable to remain away from the cloistered walls for more than forty-eight hours, enjoyed a thirteen-hour
