Qf T Christmas time, thoughts of de- fense give way to the mellower mood of the season. The Amateur Hour, presented through the combined efforts of the grades and High School, is a grand success, enjoyed by the contestants as well as by the audience. But sports are not forgotten. The Farmingdale girls certainly can give Babylon High School a taste of how volleyball should be played. The com- petitive spirit flourishes side by side with our ideals of good sportsmanship. After the games are over, our girls serve refreshments, and as the saying goes- A good time is had by all . It is the Christmas season. The French Club meeting is bright with holiday cheerg red can- dles, Christmasy food, and and even a grab-bag. Then there is a little play about the unselfish spirit of the day. But best of all, they sing Oh Holy Night -even lovelier in the French than in English. There's something about carols that makes us all love them. Why, even Girls' Lead- ers' Club forgets gym for a few hours of song! It's a Fri- day night with dark streets and bright windows when they set out. They stop first Charlie Butehorn in- troduces little Rosalie Sanders. here, and then there, offering with the best of their enthusiastic ability renditions of those carols we all love so well. Tonight, the twen- tieth of December, the Latin Club holds its first Roman banquet. The guests enter the dimly lighted room to the strains of soft ff fr The curile magistrates, viri togatig Anne Glass, Katherine James, Jack Carroll, Marina Prajmovsky, Betty Ann Margot. music, and before the altar, the pointi- fex maximus gives the sacrifice. All then take their places, while at the head table sit the officials in the robes of the ancient Romans. Now--to a fanfare of trumpets-the Janet Huntemann does her part to win our volley ball game with Babylon.

.it for wad S-f f .......- p All too soon, vacation is over, and school life swings back into its old pace. Indeed, the pupils are rushing to cram their brains with as much in- formation as possible in the least possible time. Regents' week is rapidly approaching and bring- ing in its wake no small amount of care and woe. The halls are compar- atively quiet now, and a great deal of concentrat- ed effort is spent on study. At last exams are over, and the tension relaxes. The renewed vigor of another term is inviting us to stretch our legs and to shout our exhu- Harold Wade on duty. Photography Club members are busy in the darkroom. Studying bard in the library. berance to the whole world. There is heavier work for the monitors. This system, organized by the G. O. has plac- ed monitors at strategtic points in the halls, to keep order and to demand passes from all who find it necessary to move about the building while classes are in session. Someone is on duty at all times, in case of absence a substi- tute must be notified before the period begins. But so smoothly is the machin- ery run by Mr. Galvin and Robert Call- ahan that we take it for granted, and the boys and girls at their desks are as familiar as the walls themselves. The members of the camera club, too, are again back in their darkroom per- forming that magic feat of making an image appear on an apparently blank piece of paper. In addition to develop- ing, printing, and enlarging pictures, they attempt to make good use of the available facilities in order to improve their skill as photographers. Sid Gray and the projector are a familiar and welcome sight. 'rj-s
