.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

Tfllaifl other times experiments are conducted illustrating the effect of light on film, and the reactions of the exposed film with developer and hypo. Speaking of pictures, of course you have already noticed the new projector with a sound mechanism which our school has been fortunate enough to ac- quire. But it is more important now than ever before. We are being in- structed by a movie as to what to do and what not to do in the presence of incen- diary bombs. Afterwards we go out- doors where Capt Bedell gives us an ac- tual demonstration teaching us how to control the burning magnesium. In winter time, as always, sports play an important part in our life at school. Down in the cafeteria, the Nimrods of our rifle team practice at their new range, and in spite of their many de- feats, they can well be proud of the im- provement they have made this year. Up in the gym, the cheerleaders are urging the basketball team to victory with theiryellsg green and White cy- Thc bomb is extinguished. and Mr. Howitt 1-xamincs the remains with Capt. William H.
