Some were at the starting post, others were in the middle of the course. and still others were entering upon the last lap in this period of their education. This last group is the one in which we are particularly concerned. Great ex- citement and plenty of interest was manifested in the selection of the class oflicers, for it was fitting and necessary to organize early. A wise selection of leaders resulted in the perfect co-ordination of the individual members. Frank Lochner was elected president, Edward Casey, vice-president, Gerald VValdbillig, corresponding secretary: Grace Forbes. recording secretary, and -lean Sheehan, treasurer. - The amount of the dues was decided upon and a committee appointed to take care of the rings and pins. Un December 16, the usual Senior llublic was given. 'lihis awoke much of the dormant talent of the members and brought to light a diversity of skill in declamation, recitation. music and dramatics. Then, on February Q, IQZI. Frank Lochner, our manly president, a boy well noted for his excellence in scholarship and athletics, and possessing those ethical quali- ties which endeared him to the hearts of all the students ofthe school, was taken away. lVe surely lost a friend. a counsellor and a leader by that swift stroke of the grim reaper. It was well, however, that we had the efficient Vice-l'resident, Casey, to fall back on. The senior class. under his guidance and with his assistance. passed resolutions on our president's death and had them framed and presented them to the school. The most touching mark of respect and sorrow was shown in the attendance of practically the entire senior class at Frankls funeral. Soon it became necessary to consider whom we should favor with our picture order. ln the meantime we were being snapped right and left by other photograph- ers. A group picture was taken. which will probably grace and adorn the front page of one of our dailies. VVe want to make class day one of the most impressive occasions in the annals of the High school. The class day officers have already been chosen. There was a great deal of real spirit and enthusiasm shown in the elections. Nliss Helena Cook, for class poetess, Harriet Fort, propbetessg Ruth Reedy, class will, and the only representative of the L' sterner sexfl Nlerrill Patterson, as class historian. lluch thanks are due to the faculty, who have loyally supported and advised the senior class, and to the members of the class itself. who have made possible the unusual success of the organization, and have contributed to the attainment of the highest aims in scholarship. athletics and deportment.

The Junior class has participated in all the various branches of activities which are a part of the school curriculum and has excelled in them all, particularly in the social events The Juniors are an all around good class. YVe have students. Ask any teacher and she will reply that most of us are fine students. For a few examples, we might look at Carleton llutchins, always noticeably bright since his first day in school Then there is Aaron lklyers, who is another naturally brilliant young man-and especially so in English. lYlliard Van XVormer and llarry Tompk ns were the stars of their Geometry Class in the Sophomore year, and have since passed intermediate Algebra, and are now contending with K' solid "- and are getting the upper hand in it also. .Xs to the feminine stars- they are in no less abundance than those of the opposite sex. There is lvlarion Anderson who can see so readily thru any Physics problem, and Charlot Abrams who shines in " Cicerof' ln our French H Class, we may safely say Muriel VVenzel and Samuel Katz share equal honors. Tho our girls are too refined and dainty to indulge in athletics, our boys bring us to the top of the ladder. A rather quiet, but popular member of our Junior Class, Frank Davis, was not satisfied with making himself a football hero only, but he also won out in basket ball. The same statement may apply to Harlow Metzgar, fore. in a resume of activities, it is quite possible that many intresting features will who is a basket hall and baseball star. Carleton H utchins, of whom we have already spoken, is a football man and track star, which proves that A' smart " people can also he athletes. Other members who helped to make our Nlunior Class a prominent one in athletics are: ilfeinburg, who, we feel confident, will lead our baseball team in victory, Xkveeks, Cohen, Xkolf, llyman, Lewis, l"ayne, Xliillis. Leu, Farr, to say nothng of our " l.ttle Bab " Ncformick. Page Fifty-two CARNET AND GRAY llut athletics is not our only boast. At the Boys' lJay liebate, Maurice lfeeney, a Junior, ca1'ried away the individual prize. Later, Ralph Northrup of the junior Class, received as a prize for the best essay submitted in the Rotary Club lnter- scholastic Contest, a trip to XfYasbington, to witness the inauguration of our new President, lVIr. Harding. 'l'his in itself is a single triumph over all the other classes! We indisputably reign in the field of art. Doris Reilly, who has recently been honored by having her artistic efforts displayed on the bulletin board, is one of our classmates. ller colleague, listher U'Malley, is a budding young cartoonist. Billy VVright, our little Roscoe, is a clever actor, especially when supported by nothing of our H Little liab H Klcforrnick. Some of the most influential members of Sigma, Alpha, lsogia and Doxia, are Juniors. Practically every junior assembly hall can boast of a 100 per cent. Garnet and Gray subscription. ln our circle of music we Juniors occupy considerable space. Dot Rediker and Frances Poskanzer are two clever pianists. Corcoran and Katz are violinists of marked ability. When it comes to solo Work, everyone agrees that Corcoran is " there." Socially, we are supreme, for at every social function, more juniors attend than any other class. ln the literary societies it is the Juniors who make things 'K activefl XVe could name several who might not care to be judged " social butterflies," but resist the temptation since this is a very brief history of our prowess. ln athletics, musical, oratorical, and ocial events, the juniors have demonstrated themselves, a capable, energetic group of young men and women. ' mass ! X ' , , - I - fl l N- Q50 The class of 1923 has proved itself unusually wide-awake and imbued with the spirit of Albany High School. We have, however, no class organization, and, there- fore, in a resume of activities, it is quite possible that many interestng features will be omitted, since no record has been kept. Page Fifty-three l GARNET AND GRAY The sophomores have displayed exceptional talent at the chapel exercises. Roberta Greene has given us a very pleasing vocal solo, and Fred Corcoran delighted us with a beautiful violin selection. Constance Bauman, Adelaide Yaguda, Howard Noyes, Harold Harbinger and Harry Gold have given readings and proved themselves worthy exponents of Professor Howe's skillful training. The second year class has contributed much talent to the school orchestra. Among the sophomore members are Betty Colson, Sophie l'oskanzer, Frances Davies, Charles Betts, Charles Miller and Seymour Cohen. The sophs are represented on the midget relay team by Vincent lirickson. The team was a winner at the inter-class track meet. A' Dutch " limpey is the brightest star of the basket-ball team that won the championship. Hyman has also distin- guished himself on the team. At the inter-class track meet held in the gymnasium, the sophs won second place, McCarthy, individual star of the team, displayed superior ability. In Caesar class recently, Hourigan read a most original translation: "The linemy Threw lron Balls of Clay at the Romans." Sydney Lacoulter suggests that the Romans first discovered the usefulness of automobile trucks in war time, for according to Caesar: " Finding fords the army crossed the riverf' XYe have not yet rediscovered the lost are of driving a Ford through the water, however. Several Soph girls received a short vacation, because of the mystic symbols B O, artistically done in incline on cheek and forehead. lVlr. Pratt interpreted it as " Better Outsidef' so out they went. The girls who were elected members of Theta Alpha were rather odd-appearing mortals on the day following their initiation, for each wore her middy wrong side about. Most of us could not tell whether they were coming or going, and we doubt if they, themselves knew. Edna Dewey, Dorcas Hager, Vivian Thompson, Majorie Greenman and Rena Baker, won hard-earned fame in the Senior-Sophomore basket ball game. Although the Sophs lost by one point, they gave their opponents a hard race. Mary Dyer and Katherine U'Brien, the cheerleaders certainly made our girls outcheer the Seniors. XYe fail to understand the Seniors' luck, since we had ,Peggy Frost for a mascot, who, attired as a pirate, defied adversity. The all-important question of the day among the girls of the second year class seems to be: " Do you think l'm too young to do my hair up, or shall I have it bobbedf' At present many are suffering as victims of bobbed-hairmania. We especially regret that Elizabeth Colson has sacrificed her beautiful golden curls at the altar of fashion. Greatly impressed by the excellent work of one of Miss Winne's Geometry classes, Professor Glavin named it " Caesar's Tenth Legion." They are still living up to it, from latest reports. The average Soph leads an exciting existence. He usually has one foot in the Freshman class and the other in the office and spends most of his time traveling between them, forgetting that " a rolling pin gathers no dough." Frances Davies suggests that we are indebted to the Sophs for the shortage of Page Fifly-four GARNET AND GRAY cough drops after every school basketball game. She, for one, has caught much of the pep that the angelsf ?D dropped! Helen Hynes has distinguished herself as the speediest Soph in finding refer- ences, in the encyclopedia contest held in the library. " The year book of the Garnet and Gray will consist of many humorous things," Wrote a brilliant second year student, recently. " The pictures of all tlre Seniors will be in it." The Sophomore and Freshman girls played an exciting game of basket ball which the Sophs won. They do say the Freshmen enjoyed the spread, con- sisting of ice cream and pickles, chiefly, in spite of their defeat. Much credit is due Gerry Muller, chairman of the spread committee. i 41,3 'H' ' Y 1 l ' l l ,Ka lb-.ml y I I I y All 5 . f" 'U i' C i is T' - ff :lf -u p-I 1. i Z! l . If . i " .ZW -1 r r-V " ' fo.

As was naturally expected, in so large a number, some real talent has been dis- covered in all the different phases of school work, from athletic skill up to literary ability. With such a splendid nucleus as this class has, A. H. S. should still find itself in the next few years ably represented in the world of school activities by the members of ,24. Many times in the various school activities there has been a greater support from the freshmen than from the upper classes. This shows that ,24 is imbued with the real A. H. S. spirit.

The examples of many wealthy men who have risen to heights of power and affluence without the advantages of any education, so-called, are often cited as argu- ments against the necessity of acquiring this form of training. But the fact remains that the ability to accumulate wealth is not the chief desideratum of the educating process. T lf we are to judge the value of an education to a man by his success in life, we should first consider of what success really consists. Possession of riches, in itself, is not, or should not be, the criterion of success. Assuming, on the other hand, that success is to be measured in terms of service to one's country, one's associates and society in general, education is of supreme importance to everyone. For the acquisition and the application of knowledge in life's tasks are invaluable, if one's aim in follow- ing his career is not to become prominent in any particular field of endeavor, but to become of the greatest possible service. lt is an acknowledged fact that in any calling or vocation, a trained person is far more competent than one not thus equipped for his position. Thus it follows that the more training, the more knowledge, and the more skill in any occupation a man has, the better able he will be to accomplish his given task. However, the value of education is not only relative to the degree of material success obtained by its possessors. lt muSt also be considered more broadly as regards all civilization and society in general. Ever since the creation of the world, the accumu- lation of knowledge has been directly responsible for the development and betterment of mankind in countless vital ways. Individuals, perhaps, have sacrificed for the Page Fifty-six . ,W Z GARNET AND GRAY promotion of the general welfare, but in the long run, culture has always triumphed, and is triumphing today over the perplexing problems and evil infiuences ever present in all countries. Hence, the power of knowledge should not be overlooked today because certain temporary rewards may be easily obtained by the unlearned,- for just as in the final analysis, those profiting by the advantages of any successful ones are more likely to become successful and of real service than those without such benefits,- those persons who better prepare themselves for service by the acquisition of still greater knowledge, eventually prove the most valuable to all mankind, because the Held of activity of a truly-educated man knows no restriction. RUSSELL L. GREENMAN, '21, THE EXPERIENCE OF'A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR Education is planned for and administered to the studentg his part is only A' to take what he is given," simply because he knows neither what he needs nor what he wants. But how should the efiicacy of the method be judged? -it being accepted that the results are sufficiently satisfactory-which, however, does not entirely sanc- tion the means, since they are as varied as the instructors who employ them. Would it not be wise to consult the student in this direction, since the success of the method is dependent upon him, and his success, upon it. At present, there is little or no profit in the method, judged from the four years' experience that the student has acquired in its application. ls it efficiency to obtain no profit from experience? Then why is the student's experience ignored? It is, to a high degree, due to this very fact that the pupils, especially the Freshmen and Sophomores, often lack proficiency in their work, simply because the instructor fails to profit by the experience of the student. The high school senior is an educated and reasonable youth-else his three years' training is worthless, therefore, he understands or should possess enough intelli- gence, to profitably inform the instructor of the weak spots in the scholastic method and to suggest remedies. First and second year teachers themselves affirm the difficulty of getting their students to grasp the subject and respond to their efforts. Junior and senior teachers frankly-and often amazingly-declare the insufficiency and inefliciency of many of their students. Arguing from the experience of these teachers, we assume that the method must be lacking, and further, considering the profit obtainable from the experience of the advanced student, it remains only to profit by the former and suc- ceed through the latter. This is nothing new nor untried, merely a practical applica- tion of an old axiom, H Experience is the best teacher." A FRANK B. DYER, '21 APPRECIATION , It is sometimes said that we Americans are the least appreciative of any people in the world. l'robably this is entirely true, because, both as individuals and as a nation, we have been so supremely fortunate and have enjoyed so much material pros- Page Fifty-seven ,W 4 GARNET AND GRAY perity that we frequently do not realize the greatness of our blessings, and often ignore, to a great extent, the debt of gratitude which we rightly owe to the creators of our nation and those leaders who have been highly responsible for its success. Especially do we young Americans fail to appreciate the countless benefits secured for us because of our democratic form of government. To be more specific, do we as students of the Albany High School properly evaluate the benefits of education so generously provided for us by our community? Or are we prone to depreciate and disregard the importance of these valuable privileges? Have those of us who have successfully reached the last steps of our high-school career properly appreciated the value of this training which we have received without cost to ourselves from the city of Albany? Have we the proper regard for that noble band of men and women who are devoting themselves unceasingly in the interests of education, probably sacrificing far more lucrative positions in order that we, the youth the community, for the inestimable benefits of the training and education which we have Fellow students, about to go out fromithe halls of this glorious institution, let us bid farewell to our devoted friends and teachers, the entire Faculty, and leave this magnificent building, not with superficial pleasure that we have completed our work with success, but with a deep and grateful appreciation to the Faculty, the school, and the community, for inestimable benefits of the training and education which we have received, and with the firm resolution to further advance the cause of our school and free education wherever the course of life may lead us. RUSSELL L. GREENMAN, ,2I. BATTER UP! . After four years of intense training, we, the Seniors, hear the call, " Batter up! " Some, before entering the league of life, will receive special training at college. Our pitcher is Chance, the ball, Opportunity, the bat, Initiative, the bases, Success, each baseman, Opposition. The fielders represent the factors which We have to overcome. Some of us will knock " homers," others will get " singles," while still others will be content to " walk," at the discretion of the umpire, human nature. As we look into the future, life seems certain and staid, but it is really as evasive as luck in a ball game. Of course, some will have to " strike out," but, even though this is most unfortunate, it is a part of the game. KENNETH VVALKER, '2I.

H Wl1y', you overwhelm mel " " Cut itl H advised Reed. Galloway looked pained. " Your use of slang is most obnoxious," he painfully lisped. 'A Forget it," said Reed, decisively, and then skilfully turned the: subject. " Besides, I am not the sole author of the book. Dour, here, was my partner. Whyf, we worked like a teamf' " Huh! Team of mules! " answered Uour, sourly. A few minutes later the professor of science in Columbia University, took his departure. Quite scornfully, he disdained Reed's parting admonition to take care of the manuscript. Hut Reed knew Galloway, and his absent-mindedness. " lf we could humanize VValt," sighed he. " I suppose it's a risk to let him have the novel, but-welll he'll take care of itf' As Galloway journeyed along the subway to his home, he became engrossed in a problem of science. All the way home, he pondered over the problem. Now this may have benefited science, but it didn't the manuscript. For when Galloway left the train, the manuscript didn't. Even on his walk from the station, did the professor figure. When he arrived home, he went straight to his room, and continued figuring. Suddenly his wife rushed into the room. " Oh, VValterl " she sobbed. H l just swallowed a pin! " " Never mind," he replied, absent-mindedly, and then began fumbling at his lapel. " Here," he said soothingly, " here's another pin." That evening, Galloway made the astonishing and disconcerting discovery that he had lost Reed's manuscript. He was just human enough, and had jusu enough regard for Reed, to make him bemoan his forgetfulness, even tho it was in the interest of science. After that, his life was one vast torture. That day had been Sunday. During the school days, he had little chance to escape Reed, as they taught in the same building. On Klonday, he confessed his failure to begin the story. Reed told him that was all right: he wouldnlt need the novel for a week. Tuesday, he lied his way thru. Yes, he had started. First chapter was very good. VVednesday, the " l'm-in-a-hurry", excuse was worked. Thursday, he lied his way thru the first hundred pages. Friday, he just managed to escape. Page Fifty-nine . 4 GARNET AND GRAY And so it was, ad infinitum. Day in and day out, Reed merrily pursued him. He saw Reed's face in every cup of coffee, in every dream. To his tortured imagina- tion, Reed looked like a wreck, Dour, sourer than ever. Several awful weeks followed, one worse than the other. Finally, the professor thought it best to let his wife into the secret. lt had never occurred to him before. He always had had his own ideas regarding a woman's ability to keep a secret. How- ever, she grasped the situation and its remedy, better than the impractical professor ever could. And so the two of them looked in the lost and found column of every newspaper that they had for the last three weeks,- that is, all but one. Une paper was missing, but as it was of a recent date, there was not much chance there. Sufhce it to say, they saw not one enlightening word. Then, at his wife's suggestion, he hustled over to the office of the lnterborough, where found articles were sent. Here, in answer to his inquiry, the clerk looked up his files. "A manuscript you say? H he queried. " Yes," the professor eagerly replied. Slowly and deliberately, the clerk looked up his records. Finally he said, U Yes. such a manuscript was found about three weeks ago." Galloway heaved a sigh of relief. " May I have it, please? " he asked. " Impossiblefl- and then as the professorls face fell, the clerk said in way of explanation, H You see, the owner's name was on it, and it was sent to a certain Mr. Reed, the day after it was foundf' .HERBERT TXTULLER, ,2I.

" and Mrs. Chubb broke down completely. " The villains," asserted Mr. Chubb, signihcantly. Page Sixty GARNET AND GRAY Mr. Chubb recovered with surprising rapidity from the first shock of his terrible discovery, and took his demise as cheerfully as possible. In the thorough-going manner for which he is noted, he immediately set about regulating his affairs. His first official post-mortem act was that of brushing off the flock of reporters whose papers were already wallowing in the amazing news of the great man's timely murder. He then summoned two sleuths and placed them on the trail of the murderers. Later he went into mourning and made arrangements for an elaborate funeral, while his wife busied herself penning invitations. Mr. Chubb waited patiently for three days for some clew to his murder, but no clues were forthcoming. His funeral arrived. It was a very successful affair and drew a full house. Salimander himself ofliciated. But even funerals are, at times, not encouraging. Mr. Chubb was growing more impatient day by day and threatened to discharge his sleuths. He declared that he would rather be alive than dead if he had to remain in suspense the rest of his death. But a few days later he was gratified by the sudden appearance of his two detectives. fWhatl It can't be true. Impossible. But still, 'tis no hallucination. Why, had he known this thing, we should have allayed Mr. Chubb's needless fears long ere this. Who could anticipate anything but success from chips off such astute blocks. For marvel, Herringham Crabb and Fishington Squabb, the offspring of Gamabiel Crabb and Codwallader Squabb, respectively, have enteredll Messrs. Crabb and Squabb immediately burst forth with the following amazing declaration, "I have discovered something." " Impossible," gasped Mr. Chubb, confounded.

Page Sixty-one GARNET AND GRAY SOLOMON GUNDY Solomon Gundy, Born on Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday, Jailed on Thursday, Sickened on Friday, Died on Saturday, And was buried on Sunday. To begin with, Solomon Gundy was born on a lylonday. Nlonday, as all pessimists will gloomily testify, is an unfortunate day on which to be born. If you should ask which day of the week is the lucky day, they disagree. As the poor little person being born has no choice in the matter, he might just as well be satisfied. So, on a bright, shiny, wash-day morning, Solomon Gundy first wiggled his pink toes and bawled lustily toward the ceiling. He bawled and wiggled away the next two weeks of his young and very inexperienced life, until one Tuesday, arrived the day on which he was to be christened. There is a certain uncertain atmosphere surrounding, invading, and permeating any habitat wherein lies an unnamed baby. lts characteristics can be appreciated by only those who have experienced and survived such an atmosphere. As a matter of fact, it is very nearly indescribable. The nearest approach to a sum of the varied emotions expressed by the inmates of such a house, is distraction. Solomon had, besides a father and a mother, several aunts and uncles, one or two aged and dignified grand parents, and a host of well-wishers. All these had, for two weeks, been choosing, discarding, rehearsing, and inventing names and other desig- nations, whereby the world might, in future, identify this latest edition Gundy. There were arguments. There were threats, pleadings, and promises. There were prayers, even, or what sounded like prayers, from Father Gundy, concerning this selec- tion of a name. Of late, he had sought refuge and seclusion in his club. When he crossed his own threshhold, it was but to walk into the midst of a veritable barrage of names, which, often as not, swept poor Father right out the door and back to the club. There were so many people to be remembered, to be honored, or to be thanked, though this latter is often dangerous, that he Hnally swore he'd give his son the first name he chanced on. The thought had all the effects of a sweeping tide. Immediately, the horizon cleared of names, and of names Fatherls mind suddenly became as blank as an unsigned check. As it turned out, it was chance that named the child. Up to the minute the minister picked up his prayer-book, no one, not even the godmother, knew what to tell him. It so happened that the book opened at a place labelled Solomon, where- upon Father's wandering gaze stopped, transmitted to Father's wondering brain the idea, and he had a name. A few minutes later, son Gundy's head was showered, and he came to be known as Solomon. ' Solomon Gundy was married on Wednesday. Were he Chinese, this might very easily have been the Vlfednesday in the third week of his life. But he wasn't, and so Page"Sixty-two GARNET AND GRAY your calculations are upset. This Wednesday was exactly twenty-five years later, plus one day. What they had said of his natal day, the pessimists now repeated of the day on which he had chosen to marry. This time, however, as there was a possibility of choice, they were quite positive. Discouragingly so. They had their doubts as to the advisability of marrying during the first half of the week, and also about marrying during the last half, but to marry on Wednesday was positively flying in the face of Fate. Nevertheless, Solomon spoke the deadly "I do " cheerfully enough, and went blindly on to his adventures. No one knows whether he regretted it more times than he thanked his lucky star for it. Like most marriages, his was probably a fifty- fifty proposition. . , Now, while Solomon was very nearly as wise as his forhear of the numerous spouses,-- no, he is not going to be a modern Bluebeard-he, nevertheless, and unfortunately, lived in an age of oppression. The start of his great adventure, or mis- adventure as it should be called, began in an unassuming manner. Many people now in search of adventure, or at the least, excitement, can start the same way. To be brief, Solomon ran afoul of a landlord. He called this man a profiteer, in the presence of ladies, and several varieties of something else when there were no ladies present. He received sympathy on all sides, but most of his neighbors were as badly off as he, and, what is more to the point, the landlord would not accept sympathy in lieu of rent. At last one day, in a blind unreasoning anger, he dared the landlord to raise his rent even another penny. Without even winking his one, cold, stony, flint-like optic, the landlord declared a IO per cent. increase, effective at once. This was too much for our Solomon, so he took satisfaction from one of the monsters two chins, and then gave himself over to the police. Thus it came about that Solomon was jailed of a Thursday. Now, Solomon had prepared for this emergency and had left his family in good care. He figured that the six months' assignment given him by a sympathetic but law- driven judge, was a much-needed vacation. No rent for six months, with board and clothing free, looked good as a prospect. He wondered sometimes at the strange emptiness of the jail. He saw and heard only his jailer, an old decrepit fellow, who pottered about, continually mumbling to himself as if in longing for the good old days B. P.- Before Prohibition -when the jail was full. One day, Solomon asked him of conditions in the other world. The old man knew nothing more important than that the County contemplated selling the jail as it had no further use for it. Gundy pondered a bit, and then the thought struck him to buy it, remodel it, and liven it up a bit, so he could live there. But how was he going to do all this when he had not his freedom? He couldn't. He would simply have to wait. Then one Friday, while musing in his cell and recalling with grim satisfaction that this day would have meant rent day had he been free, the door clanked, and in trod the jailer, holding in one hand a letter which he extended to Solomon. Solomon read: A " DEAR MR. GUNDY.-AS you know, no doubt, the jail wherein you have Page Sixty-three 'ri' GARNET AND GRAY resided for the past five months, has been sold. Owing to the fact that I am some- what short of funds, having recently purchased several new motors, a steam yacht, and some oil shares, I feel compelled to present you the following bill: Nflfr.

S500 oo " Hoping you will attend to this matter immediately, I still remain, " YoUR LANDLoRD." And then - - Solomon faintedl This explains Solomon's illness which began on a Friday. This was also bad enough in itself, but when, after a month's illness in a strange hospital, he was presented with still another bill, by the contents of which he was further indebted to the landlord monster, Solomon determined to outwit him, where- upon he calmly closed his eyes,- and died! Thus was Solomon's event-day progres- sion called on, for the day was Saturday. Shed a few tears as you march in the slow procession behind the coffin of Solo- mon Gundy. Shed a few tears and hope that you have a better fate in store for you. Solomon Gundy's last remains were lowered into his last abode, tenderly and care- fully, receiving at the last, the sympathy of those he left behind him. And as the first shovelful of sod thudded on the box in the hole beneath him, the minister slowly chanted: "' 'I i " Solomon Gundy,- thump - l Born on Monday,- thud - i Christened on Tuesday,- thump- Married on Wednesday,- thud, thump, thud- i Jailed on Thursday,- thump, Clank- ! Sickened on Friday,- swish - l Died on Saturday,- thud-slow, sad music- And buried,- thud - on Sunday, - thump - Amen." C. H. RUHL, '21. AN EASTER AWAKENING It was Easter morning. At exactly ten-forty-five, Miss Melissa stepped stillly off her immaculately scrubbed porch. Miss Melissa was always punctual. The Easter sun shone warmly on the timid little crocuses in the next yard-not in Miss Melissa's yard-Uh, my, nol Miss Melissa wouldn't have such frivolous things in her yard. The grass was green and bright in its new spring freshness, the birds carolled " Easter greetings! " from the budding trees, and the bright blue heavens smiled indulgently on the whole scene. These things simply couldn't be suppressed, and so Miss Melissa philosophically did the next best thing,- she ignored them. ' She, herself, was the model of propriety. In her stiff black-silk gown and black hat which had done duty every Easter for twenty-five years,- not to forget 'the black- Page Sixty-four CJ RN li 'I' .1 N IJ GRJ Y silk gloves so primly clasped around the black leather-covered prayer-book,- she looked not unlike an extremely decorous and well-conducted tomb-stone, as she sallied forth to the morning service at the little chapel just around the bend in thc road. Groups and pairs of young girls and boys, a few older people, and smiling youngsters painfully and proudly conscious of their Sunday best. passed lliss llelissa on her way to church that morning. None offered to walk with her, and the youngsters darted by with the least possible ceremony, for the prim old lady was notoriously a stickler, both on docoruin and catechism,- a terror to small giggly girls and lively boys. Bliss llelissa. minced up the walk to the church, just as she had done every Sunday for- ever so many years. Girls in their new lfaster finery stood in groups of two and three about the door. and boys, some small ones with .a noticeable soap-and-water shine on their faces- and some larger ones with the shine more noticeably on their shoes and hair, wandered here and there, tormenting their own sisters and casting sheeps-eyes at other fellows' sisters. This condition, too, had always existed, but llfliss Nlelissa had always walked primly by. She never noticed the pranks of thc foolish young things. 'lihis Easter morning. however, Bliss hlelissa was destined to receive a shock. l'assing one of the aforesaid groups. she heard one silly little beribboned thing say to another facsimile of her, " 'lihere's lliss Blelissa liverts. lsn't she a poky old thing? l never saw her smile, in my whole life. l, wonder if she ever was young? It was cruel, dreadfully cruel, and it cut Bliss Xlelissa deeply. She passed by without seeming to notice. entered the church. and sat down in the pew she had occupied since she was old enough to go to church. Ml wonder if she ever was young? 3' Young? OE course she had been, once. Her thoughts flew back over the years to other lfasters, when she had not been a stiff little lady in black. She had been a sweet, demure little thing, as a child, when she had sat in that self-same pew with her mother and sisters, in her white dress and straw bonnet. After the child, came the still sweet and demure young girl in her flounced frock and pink sash. Scenes of other days were flitting very vividly through Miss Melissa's mind. The brief joy-the blighted romance-the long, lonely years. She wrenched her mind away from all this sad remembering with a,,su,dden resol-ve. She would be young! She was a sour old maid, living entirely in the past, and there was no getting around the fact. lVho would teach her to be young? Why, the younggirl whrrhad- sown the seeds of awakening with her thoughtlessly-uttered words. The girl had a sweet wholesome face. if she was a bit thoughtless at times. She wouldn't laugh at a poor old lady who wanted to be young. Miss Melissa felt very humble at the feet of this youthful little creature. :Xnd that is why l.etty Marlowe walked home from church with Miss Melissa that Easter morning. Linder l-etty's guidance, Miss Melissa began slowly but surely to learn the lesson of the true youth, perpetual youth, the love of all things young. No longer do the children fear Miss Melissa, indeed. and many boys and girls love her delightful smile. Daffodils and crocuses bloom in Bliss Melissa's yard at Easter time, and her blithe little figure fairly gladdens the scene! HELEN C. FLOOD, ,2I. Faye Sixty-five GARNET AND GRAY THE MYSTERIOUS AND MARVELOUS MALADY OF MATHEMATICS Two little senior girls from the Albany High School were spending the summer following their graduation, with their parents in a quiet little country place, many miles from the bustle and turmoil of this thriving metropolis. These girls had always wished to experience the thrill of sleeping out in the open air, for they had once belonged to Mr. Katijya's Junior and Senior Mathematics Classes. Now, Mr. Katijya, although extremely rational in some respects, had had and still has, the barbarous and inhuman custom of making his children sleep out of doors in all kinds of weather. XVhile following this extraordinary line of procedure, our renowned Professor of Mathematics had made a graph to represent the rise and fall of the temperature. This graph, or rather series of graphs, he was accustomed to exhibit to each succeeding class, in order that he might make clear the practical uses of this system of straight and curved lines, and while doing so, he also advised each student to become an open-air fiend like himself. As a special inducement, hr told his pupils that the quantity and quality of his brains were due to his close com- panionship with the pure night air, and that any one or all of them might become as bright as he by merely following so worthy an example. So it was most natural for these girls to wish to make the experiment at the first available opportunity. So, one day, they talked it over, and after reaching an agreement as to their course of action, the elder of the two, Helen, went in search of her maternal parent. " Oh, mother! " she exclaimed, when the object of her quest appeared, " may Ruth and l sleep to-night in the hammock, out under the old elm? " " Please let us, for Professor Katijya said we would have more brains if we did as he suggested," she begged, as she saw that her mother was about to refuse. Then her sister running up, added her entreaties. 'A l am not sure that l can trust such small children," smiled their mother, debat- ing the question in her mind. " You might lose the brains that you have, instead of acquiring more." But at length she yielded, much to their delight, for the words of the wise mathematician had fixed themselves securely in the childlike minds of these girlish " math. sharks." So, when darkness fell upon the tired earth, and the time when all good people should seek rest, came, two very sleepy " tots " betook themselves to their swinging :ouch with only the canopy of stars and the thick green foliage of the ancient tree tl shelter them. But sleep did not come. The thick darkness and the strange shadows all about, drove every thought of rest from them. To pass away the time, and to keep their courage from ebbing, they began a queer sort of game. First, one would ask, 'Z YVhat is the formula for the volume of the frustrum of a cone of revolution? " If the other could answer this question correctly, she would retaliate by propounding one which she thought still more difficult. And so they went on for some time, with great success, for neither could catch the other. But at last one demanded, K' Can you tell me what is called ' the mathematical gem'? " "l haven't the remotest idea what it isf' confessed the unfortunate girl. " Ha! l've 'caught you now! " cried the victor with an exclamation of delight. Page Sixty-six GJRXET ,IND GRAY 'A But what is it anyhow? H questioned the other, curiously. " Do you know the four things that have caused trouble to mathematicians for centuries? 'l " No, what are they? U H 'lihey are the negative number, the imaginary number, the base of the natural logarithm, and the constant used in computing the areas of circles and spheres. Now, csgnlt you guess what the formula is? " H No, 1 don't see what they have to do with a ' gemf " 'A XVell, 1,11 tell you if you're so stupid. This is it, eill QA--T-1' But the sentence remained unfinished. They had been so engrossed in the interesting discussion that their surroundings had been entirely forgotten, but now they were brought back to a realization of their situation by, what semed to them, the most unearthly noises they had ever heard- In reality, the silence had been broken by the clamor of all the creatures that are abroad at night, they were simply the sounds that may be heard any night in summer: the sharp bark of a fox aroused a dog which gave vent to a blood-curdling howl from :L neighboring farmhouse, the mournful cry of the whip-poor-will came from the woods, the terrifying screech of the owl sounded from above their very heads, the harsh croak of a bullfrog from a nearby pond. and the chorus of the crickets and all the other night-bugs and insects, added to the confusing clamor. This ended the game, and terminated rather abruptly the A' open-air campaign." VVith their thoughts bent only on reaching a place of safety, the two bewildered and terrified girls rushed into the house. and " ducked 'l under the blankets on their own little beds. Un awakening the next morning, the first words one of the victims of the previous nightvs episode uttered were, " XVhat does eill equal? " 'lAsk Xlr. Katijyal 1' was the brief reply. BllZRVlI.LE llovcis, '21, ON CHOOSING ONEXS ANCESTORS To the purely imaginative person, the matter of choosing one's ancestors would be, no doubt, a very pleasing task, but to the serious-minded, unimaginative individual, the selection of a proper, well-pruned family tree, with strong perfect roots and branches, would be nothing more nor less than a stern duty. If we know nothing of our ancestors, it is very simple to invent a good-looking, well-sounding troop of forbears. VVe should begin with a fine, old lV1ayflower ancestor, so that we might have the right to own one of the many thousand grand- father clocks which seem to have come over on the little Mayflower.

VVe might pick a Governor, so that we could all he Colonial Dames. As the main branches of the tree, we should probably all be of the same mind, but, when it came to deciding upon the small twigs, which unfortunately will hang on, it Page Sixty'-swell GARNET AND GRAY l is more difficult to come to a right decision. If one has to choose between a stern, severe, harsh, old minister, and a light-hearted, prosperous, generous old tradesman, who was frowned upon by the town, because he unfortunately enjoyed dancing and participated therein, which would be chosen, I wonder? At this point, one wearies, and decides that he will discontinue inventing his ancestors, and look up those which have really been given him. Accordingly, he starts out a new line. He visits every old cemetery in his old home town and gazes longingly at the name and date of every stone. He devours all the historic town and church records. His immediate family has ancestors for breakfast, continued again at lunch, and recontinued at dinner, until all and sunrdy say, A' let the ancestors rest in peace! " Personally, l do not care to look too closely into the ancestors I have, or to choose new ones, human nature is never satisfied. Let well enough alone, I say. BEATRICE SEAVEP., ,2I.

And saw the " Steeds of Neptune " dashing high.

And ever on The phantom ship slipped o'er the playing waves, 'Till in the sky, the rosy dawn appeared, And showed an island rising from the sea. The travllers flew into the air, and sailed Above the islandys green and verdant fields, Until they saw a garden far below. Surrounded by a high and snowlike wall, They lighted on a fleecy Resting Cloud That moveless there above the garden hung, To more Qspecincallyj view the scene. At first the wall seemed endless to the Child, llut as her eyes became accustomed to Its dazzling shine, she saw a gate of gold, And as its guardian, stood an angel dressed ln robes of heav'nly hue, and in his hand He held a sword of flaming burnished steel, " 'Tis Consciencefy low the Youth of Silence spoke And then the eager mortal peeped within The all-embracing wall and caught her hreath, For there were budding roses everywherel And as she gazed enraptured at this wealth Of beauty rare, she faintly heard, then saw .X sparkling, almost speaking fountain clear, That played within the center of the bow'r, And gave its waters sweet refreshment to The roses blooming by its timeless stream.

Then suddenly, announced by clarions clear, Aurora, in her glowing chariot, flew Before the golden gate, from out the sky. And straight the angel moved aside the gate That barred the path and thro the open way She passed, and moved among the fragrant flowers.

Page Seventy-eiglzt 1 T GJRNET AND GRA Y 1 Qrganizations PHILOLOGIA The Philologia Literary Society has just completed one of its most active and progressive seasons since the formation of the class of 1921. The first meeting last fall was opened by llresident liussell l.. fireenman, by whose unceasing efforts and prudent foresight 'Logia was placed at the head of school activities and has been able to hold its place during the year. Before the Thanksgiving vacation, the senior members made provision for strengthening the spirit of the society. which has always been so pronounced ii school circles. This was followed by a demonstration of the devotion of the H Old Philologians 'T on Honorary Night. About this time 'Logia. in cooperation with Doxia, Alpha and Sigma, and through the assiduous and able assistance and supervision of l'rofessor liadesch ani Professor Howe, made its first appearance in chapel exercises. a new venture, which has already become a precedent. Allen Bacon, chosen president for the second term in an interesting election, continued the wise policies of his predecessor. The first important event of this period was the VVesleyan Glee Club concert, held under the auspices of 'Logia. XYhile the college entertainers displayed high talents as musicians and actors, the unusual success of the evening was principally due to the efforts of H Al " Ludlum, who headed the committee of arrangements. ln the midst of the school year, 'Logia and the entire school experienced one of the most sorrowful occurences in years. when Frank P. Lochner, member ofthe society and president of the Senior Liiass. suddenly died after a week's illness. This ideal boy will never be forgotten. ' On Boys' Day, February ibth. the twenty-fifth annual joint exercises of Doxia and 'l.ogia took place. lloth societies were confident of winning the debate on the question, f'Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Subsidize the U. S, hlerchant Klarinef' For the first time the teams instituted three-men rebuttals, which were delivered in the sam order as the main speeches, giving the affirmative the last speaker in rebuttal. 'i-ogia's team was Casey. first speaker, Clreenman, secondg and llyer, third speaker and captain. Though Feeney and Pattison of Dovia were declared the best orators in the debate, the lLogians overbalanced this by their strong arguments and forceful presentation, thereby winning the contest. Delehanty and Canfield won much applause in the reading of the society papers. President Bacon, assisted by President Fischer of Doxia. was presiding odicer of the evening. As a special feature of the day 'Logia circulated its first issue of the new' society news sheet, the " Cherry and Cream," which was edited by Greenman. its success, like its publishing, was spasmodic, Page Severity-lrille ?' r-' Lal LJ O cn P+ 1 'YT Az E4 5-4 .1 Z 'E' L3 Q 5 .1 5 an ILIRXET ,IND CRJ Y At the Boys' Day dance 'Logia surprised the other societies by displaying a new banner secured through the efforts of Harder and Gallien. The third term has been conducted by john UI. Canfield, the last president of this school year, during whose term ten members of the freshman class were recently initiated into the society. Not only does the successful termination of these numerous events express the prosperity of 'Logia during the present season, but also, and even with higher honor, does the splendid work of its activities stand conspicuously, and upon it 'Logia pro- nounces its only boast. PHILODOXIA Doxia has enjoyed a prosperous year. Under the leadership of three pi'esidents, Charles Fischer, Nlaurice Nlaercklin, and Howard Lee. literary work has been improved. With weekly debates and similar literary work, a firm foundation has been laid for the coming year. .Xlthough defeated in the annual lloys' Day llebate, by a two-to-one decision, Doxians are proud of the fact that Nlaurice Feeney was awarded the first individual speaker's prize, and that Robert l'attinson received the honorable mention. The debating team was composed of Howard Lee. '21, Robert Pattinson, ,2l, and Maurice Feeney, ,22, with Charles lfischer, '11, as alternate. The annual l.ogia-lloxia basketball games resulted in victories for both l7oxia's First Team and Nlidgets. The lineup of the First Team was: Empie. Capt. Leitzell, Simpson, Stanley, Klein. Hyman, P. Davis and F. Davis. The hlidgets were: Gwynn, Capt., Xkalsh, Mace, llraun, Shultes and hlchlartin. The active body attended the banquet of the Honorary Doxians held at the Albany Club on lN'Iarch 31. A good time was enjoyed by all. The actives are pleased at the decision of the Honoraries to invited all Uoxians in the future. lloxia has participated in the chapel exercisesion several occasions and the speakers always upheld the traditions of the society. The officers are: Howard Lee, President, Robert Pattinson, Vice-Presidentg Charles lfischer, Criticg ll arold XVolfe, Treasurer, George XYalsh, Recording Secre- tary, George Butman, Corresponding Secretary, james Davis, Senior Editor, Burrage Stiles, junior Editor, hlaurice Feeney, Senior Marshal: VVerner Pigors, Junior Kiarshal, and Richard Luff, Reporter. 'THETA SIGMA , - Theta Sigma is fast nearing the end of an altogether busy and successful school year. The remaining two months hold promises of still more absorbing work yet to he carried on. This year, as in others, the girls have thoroughly studied the lines and works fof a great many standard authors. Four especially good papers on several of these authors were given by Ruth Hanford, Uorthea Ueitz, Frances Gavit and Florence lfraddock. hlany well-prepared readings, fine worthwhile debates and three clever sketches, all formed an important part in the plan for this year. Page ffiyllfhi'-fnle f gg, 'I I'I'l'Y TERAR Y SI JC Il w LUIJOXIAN G .1 R X Pl T fl N D G R J Y The musical end of the programs was, in part, tal-:en care of by liva Sutton, lllarjorie Clockner, Harriet Fort and liorothy liedil-zer, at the piano, and by Marion Sickles and Clara Ten lfyclc, who gave us several vocal selections. , Four very clever Pzznsophians were read by janet Xlclxarlane, U llare H Hurd, Ruth Gade and Frances lVager. Wle are all looking forward to Ruth Reedy's paper which she is to read on Girls' Day. Alpha and Sigma held a joint dance on the twenty-ninth oi January. The " gym 'l was attractively decorated for Valentines Day and the affair proved to be very much of a success. Another one of our good times was the mrush H party, given for our Sophomore pledges on the first of April. There was an arranged program, consisting of a mock wedding, several piano and vocal selections and a joke paper by Vivien Hart. At the conclusion of the entertainment, we had a H party " and danced until 6 o'cloclc. The Sophomores couldn't possibly have enjoyed themselves as much as we didl Sigma has several times contributed to the Friday morning chapel exercises, held in connection with the other three literary societies. Her representatives have in all cases ably demonstrated the things which we have been attempting to do during this term. The accomplishment of so many things and the very evident success of our year are in a very large measure due to the leadership of Helen Cook. Under her presi- dency we have tried hard to live up to the ideals of Sigma and to 'carry out our work as the founders of the society would have wished it. THETA ALPHA Another year gone by and the good old ship 'L Theta Alpha " sails serenely into the harbor. lts crew considers this last voyage a very successful one, considering that it has been buffeted by many storms and winds. Xlie stopped twice to procure supplies on our trip into strange lands. Last fail we took on several new sailors to help replace those who had finished their coursb and were ready for further experience in life. This spring we added a great many sailors from the Sophomore Class, so that the older sailors, who are going to leave in june, might have an opportunity to train them for their various duties. We had some very interesting times on our trip, among them we remember the dances, spreads and initiations, where we had so much iun together. lluring this voyage the Captain of all the ships made a plan in which each of the ships should send a representative to show the people what the sailors were doing. 'A Theta Alpha " has sent quite a few sailors who presented humorous poems and declamations. " Theta Alpha " also tried to resurrect some of the old poems which have been almost forgotten and tried to present them to the entire satisfaction of the people. VVhile we were traveling we were also busy on board studying the poets, their lives and works, and several sailors from the crew presented very clever issues of the Aegis in costume. Page Eighty-rliree Q- Q I 1,- 'I 4' -1 Z 2 Z, L 4 , GJRNET AND GRAY At one of the meetings we had a debate on the question, H Resolved, Should the United Traction cars be operated by Non-Union lVIen," and during the year we had several instrumental and vocal solos presented by the crew who are specializing in music. Quotations were given at each meeting and the clever sketches deserve to be mentioned. for the sailors workd hard to make them so successful. Our last stopping place on this voyage will he at Kingston Point. where we expect to have our last good time together before scattering to enjoy our coming vacation. Vile sincerely hope that next year's voyage of the U Theta Alpha H will be as successful as this one has been. The able oihcers of the 'A Theta Alpha." who have steered her so successfully in the past year. are: Vera Ruhl, presidentg Geraldine Leonard, vice-president: Elizabeth llurray. criticg Klildred Schupp, recording secretaryg Lillian Turner, cor- responding secretaryg 'liheresa Glmstead, assistant corresponding secretaryg Louise YVelch, senior editor, Dorothy Delaney, junior editorg Esther O'NIalley, second junior editorg lllarion Ahern, treasurerg Emma Klorrison, marshalg Natalie Tur- cotte, reporter. MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES ORCHESTRA The Orchestra, although seriously handicapped by the absence oflour able director, Professor Oliver, during several months, has continued the fine work of previous years. lts personnel of about fifty members has been thoroughly trained and instructed, and has rendered several splendid programs before the school and at various publics. FRENCH Cruz Under the leadership of Harriet Fort, President, and the direction of Glenn lvl. Davis, head of the French Department, the French Club has completed a very active season. Several lectures by prominent citizens have been given and a splendid public program was presented. 'lihe 'llhird Hlatinee of this organization. at which two comedies and various other features were presented in French. was a notable success, and displayed, with much credit, the work of the students in the French Department. flI11.i'rARv 'LRAINING For the first time since the Garnet and Gray has been published, a picture of a Military Training l'nit is shown in its pages. lluring the last year the two lnfantry Companies and the Cavalry Unit have been particularly active in school affairs. Since compulsory military training has been abolished by a recent act of the Legislature, this will probably be the last appearance of any military organization in our school.

Two of the literary societies have also produced short sketches which were well received by the school. IJEBATING As usual, the high school selected a representative debating team to enter the Rutgers lnterscholastic League. The tryouts were held the week of the annual Boys' Day debate, and for this reason two of the best debaters in school failed to com- pete. However, a fairly strong team was selected, consisting of Edward Casey, first speaker, Helena lf. Cook, the first girl ever chosen for a public debate in the Albany High School, second speaker, and Russell L. Greenman, Captain and third speaker. VVhile handicapped by lack of experience and time for preparation, the team, with the valuable coaching of Mr. Kadesth, put up a hard tight at Schenectady, debating the high school of that city. However, because of weakness in rebuttal, the judges decision was 2 to 1 against the Albany team. although our representatives were credited with presenting far better constructive speeches than our opponents. PUBLIC SPEAKING There has been a great increase of interest in public speaking this year in school and a number of capable speakers have been developed in the Elocution Department under the direction of Nlr. Howe. The weekly appearance of representatives of the various literary societies at the chapel exercises caused a greater numberi of students to become interestd in this activity. Several important trial contests have been held, at which several students were selected to represent the school in various contests. ln the Rotary Club contest, which was a combination of essay writing and public speaking, three boys writing the best essays on 'lVVashington's Foreign Policy." were awarded prizes, and the first two were selected to speak at a public meeting in Chancellors' Hall, in competition for the award, a trip to 'XVashington for the lnauguration of President Harding. Ralph E. Northrup and Frank B. Dyer were the speakers who won first and second prizes, respectively. and YVerner Pigors was awarded the third prize. ln the tryouts for the preliminary contest at Xkaterford, of the Hamilton Speaking Contest, in which practically all the .Iunior and Senior boys taking elocution com- peted, Frank B. Dyer was selected and Russell L. Greenman was chosen alternate. Honorable mention was given Maurice l7eeney, Robert McCormack, and Samuel Katz. Several weeks later, occurred the competition to send a representative from the Albany High School to the Colgate Extemporancous Contest to be held at that Col- lege. The student selected was Russell L. Greenman while Joseph VV. Lewi was named alternate. The tryouts for Class-Day speakers were also held and four boys, Frank B. Dyer, Russell Greenman, llerrill Patterson and Robert Patterson, and four girls, Helena E.

XValter Ii. lloyson and lsadore " llocn Yavits. llere's hoping we have the same lineup in our physical department next year, when our football and baseball teams wlll be entered in the league, when the work and success of the teams will be again .acknowledged as of championship form. BASEBALL Batter upl Une of our most popular expressions outside of 'A llove Up Forward in the Car, Please," which died down somewhat during the recent conflict, is the sign of America's most popular sport, that of clean-cut, wholesome baseball. The diamond team entered the field last year with one of the strongest lineups in years, this season's being even better, and cleaned up all but three contests. a close disputed one to the Blilne High team, 1, to 33 one to the Christian Brothers' ftcadeiny cadets, and a third to Hotchkiss High school in Connecticut, both by close counts. All three of the teams have been scheduled again this year. The first has already been beaten in a no hit, no run game, a tribute to the supreme ellorts of Murray Feinberg. The other two, Coach Boyson claims, are certain to meet the same fate at our hands. The lX'Iilne and C. H. A. squads broke even last year with the liarnet and liray. Coach lloyson means to prevent a recurrence of the same record. The members of this years nine are: Captain Dave Clark, Leon Klein. Ken- neth lfmpie, Kenneth Lewis. Xlurray Feinburg, Roy VVeelts. Harlow lletzgar, George NVilhelm. Charles lVilson. Iflting Launt, Charles Fischer, U ,liggers H Payne, Fdward Simpson and George Yoelxen. Page Llfjllfrl'-Ilillf' Z Z F.. rl , - , - ff , J: A '11 CLIRNET JND GRA Y FOOTBALL XVitli the exception of three contests, the Garnet and Gray took the games of tl.e season from their strong opponents. Two of the three mentioned resulted in scoreless ties, one with Kingston High school on their own grounds and the other with the Albany Academy team on the Ridgefield gridiron. The third was a hard fought lose-out in lfndicott city, by the score of 7 to 0, the only real defeat of the season. The results of the season follows in list form, as it is the simplest way of describing how easily the Albany High boys downed the strongest elevens in this section: fl. ll. S.

BASKETBALL lt is with regret that a detailed account of the basketball season is impossible because of space regulations. The season, as most loyal athletic members of the high school know, could hardly have been expected to have been more successful. The boys copped the championship of the league by defeating Schenectady and Glens Falls high schools in the final contests, the latter tilt being the grand finale, at least for the upstaters. Following their success at Schenectady, a team was sent to Syra- cuse to compete for State High school honors, but was unsuccessful. 'X Frankfurters and Beans " might easily have been the cause of the VVaterloo of the Garnet and Gray boys at Syracuse, for it was this dainty delicacy that our prized champions were fed before taking on the A' Bug House l' boys from Pough- keepsie in the first contest, who finally won the state championship, having as their opponents in the second tilt, Johnstown. The difference in the final score between the ,Xlbany and down river boys can be accounted for in lfmpiels sickness in the latter half, which took him out of the game when the score was in favor of the Garnet and Gray. The score was 35 to 31 at the end. lJarwin's principle of the survival of the fittest worked out in that contest, as it did in the many tilts which brought the sectional title to the Garnet and Gray. Great honor was done the down river team by letting them win from Coach Yavits' stars. as they were one of the few allowed the opportunity. Page AviIIl'fj,'-'OIIE' V I 4 , , , L L... '-1 1 , .l GARNET AND GRAY As the season's record has already been summed up, there is no need for taking the space in this issue, except to mention the 21 to I4 score over the Dorpians on our home court and the 22 to I7 defeat of the Glens Falls team, which put the laurels on the heads of the following members of the Garnet and Gray team: Cap- tain Leon Klein, Kenneth " Dutch H Empie, David Clark, Ward 'fToof" Jones, Edward Simpson, Ralph Leitzell, Harlow lyletzgar and Hyman. TRACK The Seniors captured the indoor interclass meet with 35 points, and Alfred Ludlum of that class took individual honors in scoring. At the Armory meet, later, the team was not so successful, taking third place in the relay against the C. B. A. and Schenectady High school teams, the former winning out and the latter taking -second place. Coach Boyson, however, prepared an allround championship high school team to take down to Philadelphia for the Penn state track carnival, and for the interscholastic meet at Schenectady for the championship of the Adirondack divi- sion. P NVell, coach and boys, here's all the good wishes for your expectations and there is no doubt but that they will be fulfilled. SWIMMING The aquatic squad, composed of the four last year's men, Allen Bacon, Shields Bruce, Benjamin Cohen and Benjamin Cann, have started off on their run for the second championship in as many years in the competition, taking the honors last year at the R. P. l. tank. In the A' All for Glory H meet at Union college recently, they competed out of their class and took places in all events, winning all the scholastic events. Cann is the 100-yard dash open champion of the section. A hearty wish for good luck in your contests, boys, is expressed by every stu- dent in the school. GIRLS' ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT XYith the coming of spring, the girls of the school have demonstrated to us the splendid work they have been doing during the year, and have also decided the superior teams in the different sports by staging inter-class contests. The Sen.-Jr. preliminaries for the basket ball tournament were held April the 2nd, and the Soph.-lfresh. April 29th. Though the preliminary games were open only 'to members of the basket ball classes, the hnals, held April 14th, were open to all the girls of the school. The following are the captains and managers of the teams: Page Ninety-three 4 E , If 9 6 f uv n-1 Z Q 1 Z I-.

Alice Connors was in charge of the arrangement Committee, which consisted of Katherine Bostwick, lkiildred Elmer, lVIarion Hoffman and Edith Root, lt seems too bad that we aren't all members of a captain-ball team, when we hear of things like that. This year, instead of following the regular schedule of exercise. the recreation classes ran off the state physical ability tests. Nluch to the regret of Nliss lfitts and Nliss Osborne, it was necessary to call off the inter-class meet, as arranged. This was a great disappointment to the girls, who had been looking forward to the event, and judging from the number of boys who attended our meet last year, they, too, regret the omission of the meet this year. A number of our girls competed in the essay contest on 'lAth1etics." The pur- pose of this contest was not only to promote interest in athletics. but also to make clear to the girls what a splendid aid toward character formation athletics are. The two subjects were H Value of Athletics for Girls " and " Reaction of Good Sports- manship Upon Business and Home Life." The best composition on each subject was chosen, and read by the authors at a special assembly of the girls held in the auditorium. at which time several prominent members of the stdte physical education department addressed the girls. Girls, you've shown true A. H. S. spirit during the entire year in your gymna- sium work. May the years to come find the same splendid spirit of work and co- operation.
