ried the results of the weekend. It could- n't have been more successful, however, for most of the thirty-two couples. The barn dance, the daylight activities such as the treasure hunt in which Freaky and his Luce outdistanced all competitors, even Bill and Lady G., and finally the climax of the weekend, the beautiful dinner- dance where Gino had the time of his life, all these are memories we shall always cherish. Too much credit can never be given to hlesdames Barber and Hill and all the other faculty wives who aided im- mensely in making the weekend a success. We only hope they find some consolation in the fact that for us it was a highlight in our school careers. The play followed close behind, and President Freak shone as usual, even though he had missed a week of rehearsals because of his moll. Even Brock took time out from arguing the benefits of the New Deal with Hank and Jeff to play hero be- fore the footlights Y and what a 'umble hero he was, too. Next came the Walnut Hill dance, Pres and Solo were primed for conquest - and Henry 4 well, he was just. . .uh. . .Henry. The one record we have succeeded in keeping is the greying of more masters' heads than any other form. Drastic meas- ures were taken to try to squeeze us through College Boards after we had flunked half our midyears, and to date the outcome is unknown. VVe have few doubts though, that the spirit of the form, ex- emplified by the broom-burning society, the and the A.C.A., will fail to impress the entrance committees. Spring was not long in its approach, however, and with it love, laziness, the musical comedy, and Frazier's sport ran neck and neck. But as we lolled on the sunny quadrangle, we began to be aware of the completion of our careers at St. Nlarkis. College looms ahead, for most of us quite treacherously. But we cannot help feeling that the work of Messrs. Hall, Gaccon, Marr, Barber and Smith has not been in vain in simplifying the change. We carry ahead with us a set of ideals to think and to live by, and it has been the fine leadership of the faculty which has im- pressed these upon our minds. None of us will ever forget. Mr. Barber and St. Mark's have the gratitude of the class of '50,
