Carnival is over and the winter season is approximately half finished. The general trends observed in our last communique continue to manifest themselves, as the boys round the bend and begin to move into the home stretch. The basketball team, for some utterly inexplicable reason, continues to fall on its collective face, despite the unquestionably earnest efforts expended by the performers and the talented tutelage of Coach Julian. To date, the team has the horrendous record of one win and 16 losses to show for its pains, and the future does not look appreciably brighter. The hockey team continues to belie the modest prognostications made by Coach Jeremiah at the start of the season by making up in fighting determination what it lacks in Rileys.

Under Coach Michael, the swimming team follows happily on its winning ways, which will doubtless continue until it encounters the colossus of the pools from Yale. The track team has yet to have a fullscale meet, but Coach Noyes is quietly hoping for a banner year, to be provided largely by his talented crew of junior performers. The squash team continues its improvement under the guidance of the capable Coach Hoehn, and gives a good account of itself at all times.

We may therefore turn to a brief of some of the highlights that have flashed across the local scene since our February bulletin.
