SKIING when it was announced that Wednesday would be the official ski day, the usual bad week-end weather moved to the middle of the week. Wednesday was blizzard day, Thursday, red-nose day. Cold, snowy, windy! But it was fun and a welcome change from the routine. Accidents were held to a mini- mum, although five new members were added to the Cast and Crutch Club. The ski program was supervised by AAr. K. Smith and his ski school staff. While students were ski- ing, faculty members were working on the evaluation of the school necessary for accred- itation. The climax of the winter sports pro- gram was a student-parents skiing and bowl- ing day. The long bus ride from A Street to the Manor is over and the students get ready to ski the deep powder. I , Son .... Father . . .

GYM For six years the Saint Mark ' s gym pro- gram has been developed and encour- aged by Mr. John Loomis. This year, at the end of the first semester, Mr. Loomis was called back to his home in New York. His enthusiasm for his subject, his affection for the boys, and his sense of humor will be greatly missed. John ' s re- placement has willingly taken over the program in mid-year. He is Mr. Ray Clark, senior at Westminster College. The pro- gram, operating in the shed and in various community gyms and pools, has emphasized individual sports, although time is spent in learning team sports. The shed. a mat, and the seventh period gym class, with John Loomis teaching the art of tumbling. ! i] MEMBERS OF THE TEAM: Phil Patterson, Chuck Culp, Kit Sumner, Hank Lamb, and seated, Tom Flegal, Ron Rainger, David Boyd, join with Coach Hackett for a pre-game picture. TENNIS As the end of the season approaches, it looks as though the tennis team will win its third straight championship in Region Six competition. By adding three boys from the lower forms, Mrs. Kay Hackett, tennis coach, has strengthened the team ' s chances for future victories. 38
