THE 1931 SPHINX The Aff Club If you should happen to wander through the club's stronghold, you would see a variegated profusion of clay models, soap sculptures, masks, miniature stages, posters and sketches, which are ample proof that some of the members must swing a mean brush. I But we should hope so, since the club's purpose is to promote an interest in art and to give students some time outside their regular classes to become more skillful in sketching, modeling or whatever branch appeals most to them. The big event of the season in this club is the Black and Gold Ball or the dance given at Hallowe'en. The members designed the decorations and their costumes. The prize for the best costume was awarded to Laura MacDowell this year. The chairmen of the refreshment, decoration, and program committees, and the mistress of ceremonies were respectively: Margaret Meyers, Virginia Fleck, Andrew Heard and Rosalind Sullivan. The music was provided by We Weir and his Melody Men. The affair excelled the one of last year. Some excellent work has been turned out this year. It is hoped that it will con- tinue to be excellent, even with the passing of the senior members. . 78

THE 1931 SPHINX The Rifle Club For many days the onslaught of our rillemen reverberated in the nether regions of our school. Mr. Hoopes arranged a match with the Summit hillsmen, who are not unhandy with the rifle. Our rillemen hied them to the hill country and shot them a goodly shoot with the Summit mountaineers. But the Summit mountaineers proved to be only pioneers at the game, for when the smoke had cleared away, the score was: Roselle, 786, Summit, 502. Then we posted the result in an obscure corner of the bulletin board and resumed bombardment in the nether regions. Word came that to the 'East there dwelt a band of marksmen even more formidable than the first victims. Our men hied themselves to the city and met the Jelfersonians. Again our smooth accuracy carried the day. The score was: Roselle, 462, Thomas Jefferson, 430. A return match was shot, with dear old T. only a shadow of his former self, Roselle, 452, T. J., 403. The annual Booth Cup Match was held this year again. Russell Dulfs winning the cup this year makes it his permanently, as he won it once before. Of a possible 1500, Duff scored 1274, C. Stockberger was the closest competitor, having a score of 1261. , 77

The Varsity Club fYe Wearers of Ye R j Many persons no doubt were surprised when it was rumored that Westheld might occupy Roselle's time-worn berth in the Union County Baseball League. The question was referred to the Varsity Club, which held open forum on March 6th, to decide the fate of this sport in our school. After an hour of discussion, it seemed as if the hand of an irrevocable Destiny, clad in a baseball mitt, had been stretched forth, invisible, and as if it had clutched at the hearts of the ball players present, for when a vote was taken, the .club went unanimously for the retention of Roselle's place. Thus was the national sport of America and the poorest paying sport outside the professional leagues, continued for another year in A. C. H. S. The membership has increased quite perceptibly this year. The officers are: Boots Ashby, President of Varsity Club, Sam Buchman, Captain of Basketball, and Tom Condon, Captain of Football. 79
