The faculty was alsoconcerned, since there is no room,at this time, for sports below var- ' I sity level.

Some practical ideas were putforth by certain coaches. Those outfor club tennis were given a choice of shoveling snow or doing calis-thenics. When asked why the clubplayers should have to clear varsitycourts, Mr. McBee said, "Everyonehere is varsity material." The snow was shoveled into ridges on thecourts. When it was pointed outthat this would lengthen the melt-ing process, an unconfirmed reportstates that Mr. McBee's words were,"That's all right; you can shovelit back later." It was found, how-ever that the shoveling was ruiningthe tennis courts, and they wereleft to dry by themselves as theboys began clearing the snow offthe hockey rink.

His work,which gained for him a medal ofthe French Legion of Honor, wasstarted in the school year of '52-3.The first classes were three thirdgrade sections, meeting four times aweek for 15 to 20 minutes aday, taught by Messrs. Grew, Whitney,'and Humphries. The program hassince expanded, and there is now ateacher whose sole work is withelementary French sections. All theclasses are direct method, based onthe same principle as the Andoverexperimental French class, thoughconducted on a more extensive, lessintensive schedule.
