Page 21 LUI'l'il!JU'l' r I rl r' r r' rl 5 EJ r. il V 5 Permits To take a week-end or Saturday leave from Reserve, one does not simply buy a bus-ticket and take off. Really one should be a subtle combination of Einstein and Houdini. There are roughly five or six hundred minor details to be taken care of prior to leaving. First: Are you, shall we say, of an average I. Q.? Do you miss an occasional math problem or misspell a word once and again? fCackle, cacklej And you want to go on a week-end? fRepeat cacklei Tough! Assuming that you get honor grades, we find that the next step is to get permission from home. The experienced have found that the best bet is to hire a good lawyer. Amateur permissions are pounced on and wrenched apart fiendishly. Just in case any of the new boys are in doubt as to what is the proper type of permission .... I, the undersigned J. Doe, hereinafter referred to as the party of the first part, being sound of mind and body, do hereby swear to this, the nineteenth day of Oc- tober in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty four, that I will from this date on permit my son, J. Doe jr., hereinafter referred to as the party of the second part, to have blanket per- mission for week-end, Saturday, Sunday, and otherivarious and diverse types of leaves, so help me God. Witnesses: Maggie Doe A. Smith. Next comes transportation. Trains are either an hour or two late, or it was just the new time in the first place-so fooey on them. Riding a bus is merely a matter of being packed so closely that breathing doesn't matter any more. The fat man that is burning your neck with his cigar, and the skinny woman who is exploring your ribs with her umbrella are both just part of the game. Smile sweetly, poke the cigar into his mouth, her umbrella down her throat, and purr quietly to their brat to get off your corns before you take a lusty hunk out of his ear. If he doesn't,- do! It beats fish any old day. When you come back, check in at the in- firmary. Open wide while the nurse thrusts a plank down your throat and wig- gles it around to make sure nothing has come loose. If nothing has, something will, but remember, we have plenty of band- aids. Doc Kramer, Stu Silver Chosen President and Manager of Greens Grappler Doc Kramer was chosen by the Greens to lead them through the com- ing atletic year. Stu Silver was elected manager. The election was held last Sunday eve- ning at the Greens' first meeting. Run- ners-up for the presidency were Brett, Ruedemann and MacDonell, and for man- ager were Brewer, Fletcher and MacDonell. Franklyn S. Reardon Here is a man whom some of the Re- servites have seen only in the dining hall, for Franklyn S. Reardon is a busy man. In addition to teaching English Mr. Roar- don also is faculty adviser on the RECORD, Housemaster of the Athenaeum and in charge of the Alumni Record. Mr. Reardon was born in Brooklyn, New York, more years ago, he says, than it is comfortable to remember. He received his secondary schooling at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, and after working a year before college, attended Colgate Uni- versity, where he received his B. A. in 1920. In 19216 he earned his M. A. at the same university. Mr. Reardon has taught at Colgate, Mas- sanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia, and at Storm King School at Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York. For about six years he was a private tutor for various families. During this time he traveled, and though there is still a great deal to see, he has set foot at least on every continent of the world. One of the highlights admits, was being best riage of Chaplain Burns, who is the dad of Ray Burns, class of '44, One of Mr. Reardon's this year is tc make the Reserve RECORD a success. If Mr. Reardon ever gets time off from quieting the freshmen in the Athenaeum and his other duties, he would like to finish old furniture or do woodwork in general. To this purpose two ancient and decrepit chairs were toted 5001 miles from the dis- tinguished village of Cairo, New York. Take a look at these chairs sometime, and you'l1 see how much ambition that would take. of his career, he man at the mar- primary ventures Mr. Frcmlclyn. S. Reardon Thanksgiving Vacation Announced As the students have nor doubt observed, the handbook states that Thanksgiving va- cation will begin the last Wednesday in No- vember. The Executive Committee, how- ever, decided it would be best to have this holiday in accordance with the present governor's decree. This decision means that boys are free to leave W'edncsday, November 22, and are to return by Sunday, November 26, at 9:00 p. in. First Council Dance V l i Lower left- -Meek and Martyn play records.

Page 20 RESERVE RECORD October 19, 1944 Improve Your Week-ends! AST year there was a a considerable amount of com- plaining and some planning concerning the week- end entertainment at school. However extensive, a lack of interest brought about a sudden end to the discussion. and for the most part no action has been taken since that time. lt is no wonder that the bulk of us are invariably anxious to leave the campus on week-ends. As it stands, the attractions which the school offers during the: week- ends are practically non-existent! The downtown movie, which has recently been further restricted, and the school movie in the gym provide the whole of our entertainment. This is indeed a narrow Iifild of activities from which to choose, but nevertheless the fault lies only partially upon those restrictions which may seem somewhat unnecessary to a few of us. If there is a definite desire for some new or varied type of entertainment, need there be any great amount of exertion to bring about an improvement? The prob- lem is certainly not so involved as to call for a long and complicated period of deliberation and planning. What is actually needed is the support of the entire school, both students and masters. W Several suggestions which have been offered by the student body have been Worked out in some detail. At present they are merely in skeleton form, but with a small amount of work can be brought to fruition in a rather short time. Perhaps the only suggestion put forth last year which was given any further consideration was a student stunt night. Although there has been no definite plan- ning, a number of ideas have been formed by individual students, and there is sufficient interest among them to warrant more definite steps. This, however, is but one of several such Suggestions. Those dealing with weiner roasts, picnic lunches, swimming and pool games all hold extensive possibilities. If enough interest is shown by- a sufficiently large group, the way will be open to an improved program of week-end entertainment. The following article, written by a freshinan. in Journalism Activity, was considered suitable to find a place in the RECORD. We heartily recommend his advice to the incoming classes. A Freshman's Voice The lot of a freshman the first few weeks of the term may be a difiicult one. An iC'y runs up and down his spineg he tingle creeps bewildered to his first classg he can make but feeble effort to restrain his shak- ing limbs. His mind is in little better shape than his outward appearance. It is a tangled and twisted maze. He has been warned about prefects, senior campus, senior benches, senior rock, sophomore walk, jun- iors, masters and tardiness to a dozen and one appointments. He is worried about all the incidental rules which the handbook does not describe too explicitly. Despite the assurance from his big brother that things will iron out smoothly, he is desperately troubled about his merit score. Alarming and most distressing tales have gone the rounds about being painted by the seniors, running the gauntlet through the juniors or scrubbing sophomore walk while a whip dangles above his head. Where lies the remedy to all these hard- ships? How does a freshman free himself from all these worries? Three sugges- tions are in order. First, get yourself a good alarm clock or make a pact with some of the other boys on your floor. This way you may be sure that none of you will be late for scheduled appointments. Second, inq'uire about mat- ters whenever in doubt. There were others who didn't know the score one, two or three years ago. They caught on, so can you! Third, do your best to live up' to the rules and the established code. Don't criticise them. If you still think them wrong, you will have a chance to change them in three years when you shall have become a senior. We might sum up the matter in a few THE RESERVE RECORD Joel B.

Mr. Saerchinger spoke to all the history classes and accompanied the Mugwumps on their trip to Laurel last Friday night. In Civil Assembly Mr. Saerchinger discussed at length the recently completed Dumbar- ton Oaks Peace Conference. He also men- tioned Mr. Churchill's trip to Moscow as a result of the Conference for the purpose of deciding the question, What to do with Poland? The speaker told the school that the most important thing decided at Dum- barton Oaks was the way in which Ger- many is to be divided up into so called spheres of influence, He said it was decided that the Russians would take control of the eastern part of Germany and the Balkans. The reason for this was the fact that this part of Europe had always had Red tendencies and had al- ways looked to Russia as, leader. The west- ern part of Germany would be divided be- tween the Americans and, the British, the British handling the North and the Ameri- cans taking charge in the South. Mr. Saerchinger believed this plan to be a good one as well as the only one that would Work in the long run. In Civil Assembly he also discussed the new United Nations' League and its re- lation to the old League. He believed that the League would have an airforce and perhaps other branches of fighting forces in order that it would be able to enforce its doctrines throughout the world. He be- lieved that a league of this sort would be the only thing which could insure peace for any length of time at all. He stated that it had a much better chance of being successful this time that it did before, be- cause it has the support of the United States and Russia and, therefore, would not be powerless as the old League was. He considered Wilson's plan to be a good one, but like so many good plans, it came before the world was ready for it.

1 Page 22 RESERVE RECORD I october 19, 1944 Gridders Tie Rocky River 7-7, in Close Gamep Roush Smashes line for Long Run and Only Score In this season's third game the Pioneer gridders fought their way to a 7-7 tie with Rocky River High. Held in their own territory for the first quarter, the Green and White had no chance to try their offensive plays. They were forced to punt out of danger every time they had the ball. Neither team outplayed the other, but with the wind against them along with the breaks, Reserve didn't look like the powerhouse that it has shown itself to be. The visitors passed over the line to good effect in the opening moments, thus plac- ing the ball in home territory for the first quarter. A In the second quarter Reserve took the ball deep in its own territory. On the first play Jimmy Roush pulled his teammates out of the hole by going sixty-five yards on the first ground play attempted by the home eleven. Then it looked like the team was on its way. The Green and White jer- seys seemed to surge towards the Rocky River end zone until a fifteen-yard penalty interrupted the advance. Losing the Ball on Downs Reserve held for the first time in the fray. Numerous line plays were pushed back by Dennett, Howard, Gardner and Brewer, and the Tebmen took the pigskin again. With passes to Vaught and Hot- tenstein, Reserve once again started to roll towards pay dirt. But time ran out as they were on the Maroon and White's twenty-yard stripe. The third period followed the first two in every respect. The teams waved back and forth in the middle of the field. Re- serve depended on passes mostly, while Rocky River swept around the ends for most of their gains. The Maroon and White's speedy little quarterback, Seedhouse, got away around end once and crossed into the end zone standing up. But an offsides pen- alty was called on his team and the play resulted in a five-yard loss. Siddall threw some fright into the opposition when he tore around end on a few reverses for ten or fifteen yards each time. In the fourth stanza both teams opened up with everything they had. The Green and White stuck with their passing which had netted the most yardage so far, and the River eleven kept punching away at the ends. Showing some tricky reverses that almost caught the Rcservites off guard, River gained some big yardage. With about nine minutes of playing time left the Pioneers took over the pigskin on their own forty-eight-yard line. Still in the air, the Green and White drove the Rocky River team back. Changing to ground tactics when the goal was in sight, quar- terback Nicholson gave the ball to Roush on the same off-tackle play that had been so effective throughout the game. Jimmy toted the leather ten yards for the initial score of the afternoon. Tebby then sent John Taylor into the game to try' for the conversion. Johnny sent the ball through the- up-rights to make the score 7-0 in Re- serve's favor. V After that set back the Riverites came back strong. Outfighting the Green and White, they put everything they had into their end runs. Because of this consistent hammering they finally were able to get their fullback Deitesfeld loose. Weaving in and out between prospective tacklers he romped forty-five yards to score. Open- ing a big hole off tackle, the Maroon and White sent Daveys over for the extra point to tie the score, 7-7.
