From the distant heavens comes the powerful voice of the huge silvery eagle-and suddenly without a word of warning it bursts out of the soft, billowy clouds-and as if on the wings of mercury-the silver flame speeds earthward. This goddess from the sky is man's most prized gift to trans- portation-the airplane. Through the murky fog or across the sun-beamed skies the in- vincible plane goes on. Although its steps have been slow and falter- ing its huge strides toward perfection are rapidly approaching. Airplanes have reached both Poles and have traversed vast ex- panses of mountain and jungle bringing back photographs of scenes never before viewed by human eye. . . . Slowly on the wing of the soft rushing breeze the great ship lifts upward as quickly as it descended and becomes lost in the golden sea of the setting sun. DEDICATION The prospect of flying has fascinated men since the ancient days of Icarus, who according to legend flew so near the sun that the wax fastenings of his wings melted and he dropped into the sea. The men of today who pilot our great ships are of the highest caliber, for they are ever mindful of the great traditions which they must uphold. A loyal spirit, a fervent heart and dauntless courage are the governing factors to be found in all the men. Living such courageous and noble lives they have set a definite precedent which all eager-minded youths of today admire and respect. Both the aviators and the average high school youth have much in commonfboth are striving for a successful take off, a glorious trip and finally a triumphant landing. We of North High dedicate this Yearbook to these courageous and noble aviators who are such an influence to the air-minded youths of today. 7 One of Binghc1mton's Welcoming Doorways to ci Hundred Opportunities ...:,,,:,.,:,:,,,,,'Es2 N W , N Left-Triple doorways.

Commanding the past year of Flight were leaders of great ability and personality. Although short- handed, the Board of Education with but four mem- bers carried on for several months. Not until May was a fifth member, the Rev. Theodore Dewees, appointed. As Superintendent of Schools, Dr. D. Kelly has indeed served us well, working hard to make our school the modern, up-to-date building that it is. It has been Dr. Kelly's dream of a lifetime to have another high school in Binghamton. Since this dream has come true, Dr. Kelly has done all in his power to make North High the school to which we enjoy coming. In the position of Lieutenant Flight Commander, or Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Lee Mc- Department Ofhce, 98 Oak Street Ewan has done much toward effecting the present school curriculum. Mr. McEwan was formerly prin- cipal at Central High School. Among the more immediate leaders was our Big Chief and principal, H. Earle Weaver. Mr. Wezlver has done much toward the good times we have had the past year. Without him our Flight through 1938-1939 would never have been so successful. Then we have our immediate .Iunior Commanders who are Chief Officers to the student body, Mr. George Tate, boys' counselorg Miss Leta Plunkett, girls' counselorg and Mr. Raymond Jarvis, technical and vocational counselor. Mr. Tate and Miss Plun- kett work together to keep the larger part of the student body on the straight and narrow course to success. They are the ones to whom students turn when their navigation charts become confused. Mr. Jarvis works entirely with the students who plan to enter industry upon leaving school. He plans courses best suited to their individual needs. cc J. lkfcliwan, Dr. D. J, Kc Mr. Raymond Jarvis, Miss Leta Plunkett, Mr. H. Earle Wealvei', Mr. George Tate Miss Virginia Lane, Miss Mayadelaide Palmer The Pleasant Art of Flying Are you interested in drawing, painting or designing? If so, you will be attracted to North's Art Department with Miss Vir- ginia Lane and Miss Mayadelaide Palmer in charge. Besides Design and Representation, this department also offers instruction in the History of Art. In class students learn pen- cil technic, lettering and the use of frescoes and poster paints. These they put into prac- tice in making posters for the advertising of school events, painting sets for scenery in school productions, and helping out any other department which would benefit through their artistic talents. Many Greek and Roman scenes have been depicted for use in the Latin Department. Although this is one of North's smaller departments, about 250 students are enrolled and it is one which would surely be missed at North. Many of the students have participated in various contests throughout the year. A particularly interested group form the Art Club which works with special projects and individual undertakings, and also submits material for use in The Wamptim. Over Harmony Air Lanes The Music Department is set up with two divisions. Vocal music, directed by Mr. Ray Hartley, offers the Festival Chorus meeting two periods each week and producing at least one major production every year. The A Cappella Choir, selected voices from the larger vocal group, is well known through its many appearances in the local churches and school assembly programs. Many students registered in this depart- ment take advantage of the available music courses. Mr. Hartley teaches classes in the rudiments of music, harmony and voice training. For those who wish to work in the field of music, additional coaching and training makes it possible for participants to get at least three years of solid experience before entering college for a more complete musical education. The instrumental division consists princi- pally of the school band and orchestra. These groups are directed by Mr. Charles Budesheim. Various other instrumental combinations - string quartets, string en- sembles, wood-wind quartets and larger brass groups-are conducted daily as a part of the school music program.

To give but a few examples, in answer: The building of homes, schools and shops, the manufacture of clothes we wear, the pro- duction of food we eat, construction of roads, bridges, and other transportation fa- cilities, the building of trains, autos, ships, and planes, in fact, the very structure of the world in which we live requires mathemati- cal knowledge. At North the Mathematics Department consists of two parts: Academic, headed by Mr. Harold Gillespie, who is assisted by Miss Irma Burdick, Miss Grace Fox, Miss Helen Spencer and Mr. Robert Redmang and Voca- tional, with Mr. McGinnis. The academic division boasts of at least 500 students di- vided into 22 classes where General Math. B and A, Plane Geometry B and A, Interme- diate Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Trigo- nometry, and Solid Geometry are taught. The department is proud of the fact that two of its majors, january graduates, Ray Peet and Jacques Harrington QRobert Bellis of june class is first alternatej have been appointed to the United States Naval Acad- emy at Annapolis. The Health Education course is divided into two divisionsg the first is individual gym which is given to help correct the pos- ture and defaults of the bodyg the second is regular gym which creates poise, body effi- ciency and co-ordination. The average size of a class is 45. There are 24 corrective classes and 24 regular classes a week. Ap- proximately 150O students take gym. The class program runs according to sea- sons. Basketball and hockey are played in the fall term. Tennis, volleyball and base- ball are played in the spring term. Football for boys is in the fall term. Mr. Ernest Lalley and Mrs. Gladys Ord- way are the instructors for individual gym and Mr. john Reutlinger and Miss Roberta Andrews are the instructors for regular gym. North's gym is large, modern, and well equipped. Arranged so that a motor oper- ated folding door swings into the walls, the large area court with balconies at either end may be converted into two separate gyms for girls and for boys. Shower and locker rooms are on the floor below.

Winging Away Through English i Of North's total enrollment of 1570 there are not more than 40 pupils who do not take English. Fifty-two English classes and four public speaking classes are needed to provide for all of these pupils. As English is difficult for some students and very easy for others, a few special classes are being tested. One of the most important and unusual arrangements is a class com- prised of all the Sophomore boys who take Technical shops. They have all been brought together in one English class. In one grade there are two classes for slower pupils and they are taught a little more slowly than the other classes of the same grade. English classes of today are made ex- tremely interesting by the wide expansion of material covered. English classes have one main point-oral and written expression, but also cover many points such as Spelling, Grammar and Literature, which includes the Essay, Novel, Travel, Poetry, Biography and Drama. English students have many opportunities. Their English fee of 50 cents which is paid each semester enables them to have the use of many books which are not in the regular English course. l 20 s A. l Seated: Ivfr. Harold Wilscln, lN'Ir.

They are the technical, voca- tional and industrial arts departments. In 12 shops on the ground floor are some of the most modern shops in the state. In the industrial arts department are auto, elec- tric, machine, printing, photography, and metal shops besides mechanical drawing 1, 2 and 4. The only vocational shops are advanced automobile and advanced machine shop. To gain admission to these classes a pupil must have taken industrial arts, auto or machine shop. Technical courses in electric theory and machine shop are also taught. While some shops make students proj- ects, others, such as the vocational and tech- nical shops do actual work on real cars and in machine work. To teach vocational or technical work a teacher must have had several years in that field of work. As a result North has only the best of teachers in its shops. Languages taught at North High are French, German and Latin. There are two French teachers in North High's French de- partment, Mr. Clarence Hammond and Mrs. Esther Bourdon. Together they teach 175 academic and college course students the three years of French including Grammar, Literature and History. Miss Lazetta Gehm is the only German She teaches her 75 teacher in North High. students the Grammar, History and Litera- ture of that language. The Latin Department consists of three teachers, Miss Kathryn O. Lundy, Miss Ellen Mangan and Mrs. Georgia McCall, who teach about 175 Latin students from the col- lege and academic courses. Miss Lundy has all 1B's in North each morning, leaving us to go to Central every afternoon. Miss Mangan has second and third year students and Mrs. McCall teaches second, third and fourth year students. Standing: Mrs. Georgia McCall, Miss Katherine O. Lundy, Miss La- zetta Gehm.

Research-Theory and Applied North's scientifically minded students are greatly indebted to the group of teachers in the science department for interesting them in such a wide and varied field as science offers. To some, the odors issuing from the Chemistry laboratory at frequent inter- vals are a disagreeable nuisance. To those who are experimenting they mean success or failure. Chemistry is concerned with the changes that take place forming new substances through chemical reactions. However, the science department is not all concerned with chemistry. Another very interesting part is the study of physical geography. This is a science which treats of the natural features of the earth and their relation to life. It aims to show man his relation to and dependence upon the phenomena of nature. Still a third division of the science de- partment is that of physics. Equipped with a knowledge of this subject, you could cal- culate how much energy you expended in turning the pages of this yearbook. The Business of Flying A Commercial course at North High of- fers four majors: clerical, bookkeeping, ste- nography and general business. Nine rooms and an ofiice are devoted to the department and the subjects taught are: introduction to business and commercial arithmetic, basic subjects, economic geography, typing, short- hand, law, economics, ofice practice, busi- ness machines, and bookkeeping. Over 1,000 students of North's 1500 are studying at least one, if not more, of these subjects, under a departmental faculty of 10 members. The equipment of the department is mod- ern and efficient. Valued at about 315,000 it includes 75 typewriters, four adding and listing machines, six calculators, two dupli- cating machines, two adding machines, and special bookkeeping desks. Seated: Miss Betsy Katz, Mrs. Anna Howell, Miss Lena Levene, Miss Katherine McCormack. Stand- ing: Miss Grace Pritchard, Miss jane Hurst, Mr. Charles Ellis, Miss Helen Malony, Miss Mabel June, Miss Genevieve Shattuck. Northls Social Science Department covers Economic Citizenship, Ancient, Medieval and Modern History, and Economics. Be- tween 800 and 900 students go to Social Science classes daily. Social Science classes are important factors in the lives of North's students. The many phases of the subject help broaden the pu- pil's mind considerably. Throughout any course in Social Science one reads and studies what great minds all over the world have written. Therefore, Social Science is very .cultural because reading does not stop with the text books used in classrooms but spreads over a wide surface. Social Science tends to make the student more interested in Social and Civic affairs.

Gillespie, Miss Lucy O'Hargan, Mr. George Crane. 25 Details for all Hostesses North's Homemaking Department extends along the entire back corridor of the second floor, consisting of six large rooms and sev- eral smaller ones. This space is taken up mostly by a large completely furnished apart- ment consisting of a kitchen, combined liv- ing and dining room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry and closets. Every modern conveni- ence has been installed in North's suite of rooms. Besides the apartment there are two classrooms fully equipped for sewing classes with work tables and about 12 sewing ma- chines. Also there are two practice kitchens which are used as classrooms. About 200 students are instructed daily by the three teachers of North's homemak- ing department. These pupils either take an academic course with a homemaking major or else take some form of homemak- ing as an elective. Miss Mildred Weller, Miss Gertrude Foley and Miss Katherine Fassett teach foods, clothing, house cares, house decoration, home management, family relations, home nursing and advanced foods and clothing. Log, Personnel and Inspection Norths complete and modern school li- brary under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Dyer contains fiction and non-fiction books, popular magazines and current newspapers. Books may be taken out for one week, ex- cept history books which may be kept over- night only, although any book may be re- newed. History is most used, with biog- raphy, literature, social science, travel, and useful arts following close behind. About four times as many non-fiction books are taken out as are fiction. Since the amount of money given by the State to the City for educational purposes is based on the attendance of the students, Miss Pauline McCarthy and Miss Agnes Graham are kept busy with their attendance work at North High. Every day a list is made of the absentees. If messages, by tele- phone or brought in by other students, have not been received, Miss McCarthy checks the reasons for absence of the students living in the city. In each outside district there is someone to check on the absentees. In case of much absence, Miss McCarthy finds it necessary to make an investigation and some- times consult the physician concerned. One of the most important services at North is the clinic under the supervision of Miss Margaret Quinn. At least 50 students need attention sometime during each day of the school year. Miss Quinn renders aid and care for those who are ill or have met with an accident, as well as assisting with routine examinations.

PLANE NH 1939 TAKING OFF 29 Pioneering in Commencement Programs Graduation of the Class of January 1939 The theme of the january Commencement program was Pioneering It was devel- oped by a committee of eight. The commit- tee was as follows: Lucille Babcock, Harold Brown, Margaret Fredenburg, Woodrow Hayes, William Larrabee, Albert Page, Ray- mond Peet and Beatrice Stanton. The program was in the form of panto- mimes portraying several different fields of school activities. The first was in the field of music. In this scene, the A Cappella Choir sang a group of songs. The second scene represented the forms of sports which are taught in Health Education. This scene was divided into two parts, one for the boys and one for the girls. The third scene rep- resented North's school publication, The Wampum. This showed at one side of the stage, representatives taking pictures and the equipment used by the photography classes, while on the opposite an editorial group worked with copy. A fourth scene demon- strating expression was gt presentation of a brief part of Seventeen by two of the principal characters. Over 70 members of the class participated in the program. The last scene represented the tradition of this new school. It was illustrated by Raymond Peet who took the part of an ln- dian. The Indian is the symbol of North High. The entire program was narrated by Richard Powell. A class of 70 boys and 46 girls received diplomas from Superintendent of Schools D. Kelly. Awards were made too. Ray- mond Peet received the R.P.l. award for Science and Math, and Truman McDonald was the recipient of the Bausch-Lomb award for Science.

AN EXPLANATION All who have been connected with the publication of the 1939 Wampum regret that the picture of every member of the two classes could not be included, and that it was not possible to arrange all pictures in strict alphabetical order. Assurance that the Wampum would be continued, printed outside the school shop, came so late the first term that only indefinite arrangements regarding pictures were made with many graduates. After they left school it was extremely difli- cult to follow up the promises. As a result a small group is not represented pictorially. January graduates' pictures were taken by several different local photographers and though an attempt was made to ob- tain uniform head size, the gloss prints received showed a great variation. It was necessary to group them to the best advantage, to scale them to reduce to one size when engraved, and yet to keep the work moving on a limited time schedule. With the exception of two pictures all members of the june class were taken by members of the Wampum photography staff. 38 CLASS OFFICERS 'HQ 'Q- wen.

Along with the rest of the firsts at North is rated the first organization for recognizing and awarding outstanding scholarships. Last term the constitution was drawn up and application made for an affiliation with the National Honor Society. Early this term Principal H. Earle Weaver announced the qualifications for eligi- bility as an average score of 4 in Junior A and Senior B years and of 5.75 in the Senior A year. The marks are evaluated as follows: E, 5, S, 3, F, 1, N, -5. When the group of 46 eligibles and tive faculty members, Miss Gertrude O'Connor, Miss Leta Plunkett, Mr. Ronald Johnston, Mr. Maxwell Space and Mr. Weaver, was first called together, suggestions for a name for the chapter were discussed. The name, Ihikona, meaning Ulndustrious Worker, was adopted at the second meeting. The following officers were elected: James Little, president, Robert Goerlitz, vice-president, Rose Marie Campbell, secretary, and Harry Dellow, treasurer. Until May 19 no ofiicial announcement was made of the organization of an Honor Society. In an assembly on that date the members were formally inducted into the chapter with an impressive ceremony and were pre- sented with their keys, the emblem of the society. As the years go by other outstanding students will wear the symbolic key carrying on the ideals and traditions of the Ihikona Chapter of the National Honor Society. 5-1 A CAPPELLA CHOIR Front row, left to right: Bertha Loomis, Margaret Brooks, Dorothy Cragle, Rita Flynn, Eleanor Cecil, Marjorie Tamp- kins, Carol Jones, Doris Minturn, Helen Keane, Gloria Tierno, Margaret Harrington, Lucille Severance, Jayne Conant, Patri- cia Constable, Jane Rose, Jean Diffenderfer, Charlotte Williamsoii, Carol Lockard.

North's Student Council has been very active during the past year. Under the able navigation of Mr. Maxwell Space, faculty adviser, the Council has planned and carried out a number of school projects. The oHicers for the fall semester were president, Edward Hamel, vice-president, Carl Newman, secretary, Marie Ryan, and treasurer, Harold Brown. The forma- tion of the Inter-Scholastic Council was held at North with its oliicers automatically becoming the officers of that organization. Although at the first meeting No- vember 14, 1938, the Council was composed of eight senior high schools throughout the Southern Tier, any high school, located in this zone and governed by student officers, is eligible for admission. The constitution, adopted by the Inter-Scholastic Council, provides for a meeting at host school, presided over by the ofiicers of that school 3 and for the representation of two official delegates and a faculty adviser for each school. Our delegates to the conference, which consisted of a dinner and discussion group, were Marie Ryan and Harold Brown. 56 The Student Council also took a collection of food and money at Christmas time for the Volunteers of America, established an assembly fund with which to pay professional entertainment, and presented a large beautiful school Hag to North's band. During the Spring semester, under the leadership of President Robert Bellis, Vice-President Sergil Cave, Sec- retary Betty Lindsey and Treasurer Ted Mastrogiacomo, the chief aim of the council was to establish a better school response toward social activities within the school. To help create this spirit, two matinee dances were held in the school cafeteria, the first, May 10 for sophomores and junior B's and the second, May 18, for junior A's and seniors. This was topped by an All-School Spring Frolic, sponsored by all school clubs, with dancing from 9200 to 12200 P. M. The Council sent two delegates, Robert Bellis and Francis Ryan to the conference held at Ithaca by the Inter-Scholastic Council on May 15.

Most of the activi- ties take place at the Y. W. C. A. and have something to do with health. The girls use the gymnasium and swimming pool for indoor sports. Each term the Girl Reserves hold a rush party and all girls in North High are invited. At the present time there are 64 members and the officers of the club are: President, Marion Hull, vice-president, Lillian Kriskog secretary, Irene Brown, treasurer, Geraldine Churchill, inter club council member, Ruth Lewis, pro- gram chairman, Virginia Larsen, social chairman, Helen Wilcox, service chairman, Dorothy Knowlton, publicity, Helen Kellogg, music, Marion Ernst, finance, Katherine Murphy. Some of their past activities included the following: Last winter they sent a delegate to the winter conference which was held at Niagara Falls on February 24 and 25. Last spring they gave a style show featuring dresses from the Nana Dress Shop on Broad Avenue. On one occa- sion Miss Roberta Andrews talked to them about health. A Faculty Tea was arranged on May 3 by the girls in the association.

Third row: Miss Mara Burke, adviser, Carl Oliver, Arnold Briggs, Ronald Ogden, Vaughn Marderian, Robert Doyle, George Shuman, Francis Morris, Amos Ennis. Early in the fall term the junior Red Cross was organized under the following set-up: president, Irene Brown, vice-president, Katherine Furman, secretary, Marion Ernst, and treasurer, Curtis Pratt. In late October and early November the homerooms sent 79 carefully and well-filled boxes on their way to foreign countries. About this time Miss Mara Burke, sponsor, and Irene Brown attended the dinner meeting at the Arlington Hotel and during the following week the membership drive was successfully launched. At Christmas time the Ways and Means committee through a 'lwhispering campaign fund presented per- sonal gifts to four very worthy students in the school. The idea was to render service without recognition. In January the officers attended a luncheon at the Arlington Hotel, receiving the report of work carried on over a period of a year, by both Senior and junior organizations. The juniors were commended for their splendid cooperation in all phases of the work. New officers were elected for the spring term: Irene Brown, Helen Wilcox, Peggy Dwyer and George Shuman. 59 In March Miss Lazetta Gehm, member of the lan- guage department, gave a most interesting talk and dis- played many souvenirs collected during her European trip last summer. April 24 found the president and the adviser in Washington, D. C. Here they exchanged greetings and views with boys and girls from every state in the union and from our outlying possessions. They returned with splendid reports of the convention, together with many unusual souvenirs and interesting newspaper clippings. Twelve members regularly attended the General Council monthly meeting at Central. Miss Brown was vice-president of this organization. ' As the year came to a close the members as a group paid a loving tribute to Mary Cleary, representative, who died in the City Hospital early in March. Since one of the slogans of the Red Cross is Ser- vice this council at North High stands ever ready to lend a helping hand, and its members say: Let us serve you.

STUDENT ENGINEERS' CLUB The Student Engineer's Club is composed of technical electrical boys who are scientifi- cally, as well as vocationally, inclined. The object of the club is to sponsor an activity program consisting of the construction of electrical apparatus, laboratory research in electronics, trips to neighboring industries, and a closer social relationship among the students. The club was chartered last September, and since that time has developed from 13 charter members to 2-4. Officers include Pierino Lisi, president, Bob Ives, vice-presi- dent, Karl Greif jr., secretary, and Con- stantine Houpis, treasurer.

LITTLE THEATER GUILD The Little Theater Guild's production of the fall term, Seventeen, by Booth Tarkington, directed by the Gui1d's sponsor, Mr. Raymond Merchant, won fame for the or- ganization and its members. For the spring term, plans were made for the produc- tion of a series of one-act plays. As a result this gave an opportunity for more students to show their ability. In january five members received the Guild award, a pin with two rubies. They were Harold Brown, Lucy Buell, Dante Ferrante, Eleanor Mosher and Edward Scala. Those receiving the award for the spring term were Irene Brown, Walter Bogatis, Ellen Harrison, Charles Meeker, Alice jane Spencer and Helen Spencer. In the stage crew organization award went to Robert Cook. A signal honor for a Guild member was announced the first week in june when Dante Ferrante was awarded a scholarship for stage study at Leighton Rollins Studios, New York City, in competition with over 300 applicants.

The chief aims of this club are to speak German in a conversational manner, to learn to sing German songs, and to get acquainted with German customs. The present enrollment is 25, each member hav- ing had at least one year of German, since this is one of the requirements for admis- sion.

North High's second season of football was over 10071 more successful than the first season. With the coming of Len Gramley from Central, new life was put into the squad which had lost many of its outstanding players from last season. The team did what seemed impossible with one season of experience behind it, scoring 169 points to opponents' 59 points, which compared to last season's total of 14 points for North and 164 points for opponents, shows definite improvement on the part of our team. If the team can do this in one season of experience, what will it be in a few years? This leads us to believe that North High's future on the gridiron is one toward which to look forward. Our 1938 schedule offered just as stiff opposition as that we had in 1937. Here is a brief resume: Sept. 24-North plowed through Geneva High school for a 26-7 victory, with Gramley, Bob Goerlitz, and Warde Gunn sharing the honors. This victory was great encour- agement with which to start the season. Ort. 8-The Indian warriors fell before the attack of Central High's Bulldogs to the score of 20-6. This out- come, however, did not greatly alarm us as Central had defeated us 39-O during our first season. Ori. 15-The North High Indians traveled to Liberty to scalp the Liberty High lads by a score of 46-0. The highest score North had ever made was gained mostly by the second and third strings. Ori. 22-With a much improved aerial attack the Scar- let and Blue Warriors trimmed Oneonta by a score of 20-6. The game was played at home. Off. 29-Norwich nosed out North by a slim margin of one point, the final score being 7-6. A pass from Gunn to Gramley made the lone touchdown. Nov. 11-A highly-favored North team trimmed a very stubborn Walton team with a score of 28-6. The Indians had the advantage of both superior power and weight. Nov, 19AThe traditional battle between North High's Indians and johnson City's Wildcats was played in a sea of mud in a downpour of rain. The Wildcats beat the Indian Warriors 14-6.

In fact, they ended in sec- ond place in the Eastern half of the Southern Tier Con- ference. The only team to beat the Indians in the Eastern Conference was that sterling team of Central High School which defeated North twice. This year our team won eight games and lost eight. The Jayvee team came through with the junior Varsity championship in the Eastern Conference. They declined to playoff with Johnson City, the winners of the Western division as they had already beaten them twice. Fred Raeder was high scorer of the jayvee team with 102 points, having made 41 field goals and 20 out of 37 foul throws. A close second was Doug Mains with 92 points. The Jayvees made a total of 632 points, or an average of 39.5 points in each of their 16 games. If this is an indi- cation of what our Varsity will be like next year, our hopes should be high. The Varsity team which was looked upon with some doubt at the beginning of the season made a most credit- able showing, considering that Coach jack Reutlinger's material was somewhat limited. The high scorer of the Varsity was Bill Hoeppel with 106 points, chalked up in making 43 field goals and 20 out of 33 possible foul shots. Ralph Maynes and Austin Thomas were lost at the beginning of the season, the former because of an injuryg the latter because of moving from the city. The lettermen in basketball this year are Robert Goet- litz, William Hoeppel, William Zinck, Harold Whitte- more, Frank Lindsey, Maynard Fahs, Donald Burns, Ray Peet, jack Lupton and Manager Harold Olstead.

The North High Indians opened their 1939 baseball season by beating Ithaca High School 12-8. What a way to open a season! This was accomplished with only four boys back from last season. Since this copy goes to press before the end of the schedule we will glance over that first game. Although Ithaca made 14 hits, including a home run, Pitcher Dick Bailey, a southpaw, went the route for the Indians. North made three runs in the eighth inning to clinch the game, but Ithaca threatened in the ninth with two more runs. Here are the scores of this first game of the season: Dedrick, Double plays-Zinck to Hoeppel to Peet 2. Left on bases-North 10, Ithaca 7. Bases on ballsfoff Brown 1. Blakeslee 2, Bailey 1.

VARSITY GOLF Left to right: Robert Olstead, john Hriciga, Leslie Wenrm, Art McDermott, Robert Rod- man, james--Cole Vincent Walker, james Little, Robert Gorgrant, Leo Bucci, Mr. Donald Roehm, coach. North High's golf team got off to a good start this season by defeating the faculty team 18V2 to 11V2 at Ely Park on May 8. This was considered an excellent start for the year, since North lost all but one of her matches last spring. The scores for this game were as follows: Faculty-Mr. Ellis VZ, Mr. Roehm 2, Mr. Desnoyers 2, Mr. Glanville 4, Mr. Redman 1w, Mr. Vavra VZ, Mr. Wilson 3, Mr. Johnston 0, Mr. Sasinek 1, Mr. Gilles- pie 1. North Varsity-Bill Dino ZVZ, jim Cole 1, Bob Gor- grant 1, Leo Bucci 3, jim Little ZVZ, Bob Rodman llfz, Bud Olstead 0, Art McDermott 3, Leslie Wenn 2, and John Hricigi 2. To become members of the golf team a limited num- ber of students are chosen on the basis of the scores turned in at the beginning of the season in several prac- tice matches. The boys having the lowest scores are 82 picked to become the team. Several alternates are also chosen, as the first few games of the season are not always a golfer's best. Many players improve as the sea- son goes on. Bill Dino, jim Cole, Bob Gorgrant, Leo Bucci, Bob Rodman, Bud Olstead, Art McDermott, John Hricigi, Leslie Wenn and Jim Little made up the team this year. The schedule for the season was as follows: May 10-Norwich away May 12-Ithaca ....... ....... l rome May 13-Endicott home May 17-Central home May 19-+Ithaca .......... ........ a way May 24-Norwich home May 26-Endicott away june 3-Central ........ ........ a way The team was coached by Mr. Donald Roehm, a mem- ber of North High's faculty. All home games were played at Ely Park golf course. VARSITY TRACK Track was a new sport this spring to our school. There were many difficulties in forming a team, such as no track and little equipment. East junior came to the res- cue again and lent us the use of their field for which we owe them many thanks. Coach Jack Reutlinger began with a lot of raw mate- rial and came out with a finished product which we know will be even better next season. We also expect to have our own track in full swing next season, since it's well under way even now. Here is the team as it was this year: 100 Yards-George Markatos, Gene Cahill, Bob Booth, Homer Pitkin. 220 Yards-Bob Keogh, jacob Sherman, Gordon Hazlett, Len Carmell, Herman Sall. -440 Yards-Bill Rusin, Bill Ryan, Addison Gibb, Mat- thew Garbett. 880 Yards-Bill Church, Bob Doyle, Amos Ennis, Ken Masterangelo. Mile-Bob Dean, Don Miles, joe DeFulvio, Larry Kil- mer. Hurdles-Ace Wall, Tony Michilizzi, Bob Booth, Clay- ton Coleman, Marshall Brown. Shotput-Bob Baxter, Bob Redner, jack Sluznis. Discus--Bob Baxter, Frank Skinner, Bob Redner, jack Sluznis. High jump-Ray Martin, Pete Vonetes, jack Lupton, Clayton Coleman. Broad jump-wAce Wall, Tony Michilizzi, jack Lupton, Al Lyons. Pole Vault-Adam Gal, Spark Murray, Vincent Coffey, Bob White. Relay-George Markatos, Gene Cahill, Bob Keogh, Gor- don Hazlett, and Herman Sall, Homer Pitkin, Mar- shall Brown, Len Carmell. The first meet was with Endicott. Endicott won the meet by a score of SIVZ to zzyz. This did not dis- hearten the Indians who faced their other meets with just as much enthusiasm as they faced Endicott. Since these meets were later in the season, after forms for this book closed, the results will not be summarized until next year. The track schedule this season was as follows: May 6-Union-Endicott at Endicott May 13-Central and johnson City at MacArthur Field May 27-Triple Cities meet at Endicott The track squad also journeyed to Ithaca on june 3.

Football has been dropped from the schedule, tennis, volleyball and bowling have been added to the list of seasonal activities besides basketball which was started last season. These Intramural sports activities are for those boys who for one reason or an- other could not make the varsity teams. However, nearly all of the varsity material comes up from the Intramural ranks. This year several hundred boys played on these teams. Basketball led the field of Intramural sports this season, being started early in December. About two hundred boys played on teams this season, not to men- tion the number of girls who played. The boys' teams were divided into three leagues, A, B, C. Each league was composed of several teams. Two divisions head the leagues, the Western and the Eastern divisions. In the final play-offs the Senators and the Yankees, who won the titles in the Western A and B leagues, beat the Browns and Cardinals, who won the titles in the Eastern A and B division, winning the championship crown. The Senators was composed of Don Sass, Dick Standish, Willis Hause, jack Sluznis, Len Gramley and Stan Prusik. Those who played on the Browns team were: Bud Olstead, Glenn Talmadge, jack Smith, Doug McMonagle, Carlton Conrad and Ted Rivenburg. The All-star Intramural team was made up of Vinney Crowe, Don Stanford, Bob Baker, Pete Campon, Ray Martin, Bud Olstead, Bill Rusin, joe Magnotta, Glenn Talmadge and Norman Avery. The winning Intramural and All-star teams played B. C. H. S. Senior and Sophomore teams, winning two games and losing two games. Our bowling team had a very unsuccessful season. They had two matches with johnson City and one with Central High, losing them all. Stan Prusik, Merle Hunt, Ray Myers, Matthew Garbett, George Semo, Otto Simma, Bob Baxter, Tom Baxter, Dick Warner, Bob Malarky and Ed Gilmore bowled on the team. Another Intramural sport on the schedule this season was volleyball. Although the game was played last sea- son, it was not until this year that a regular team was formed. The volleyball team, unlike the bowling team, was very successful. The first and second teams played johnson City twice, winning all games. They also played against B. C. H. S. Sophomores and the East junior All- stars and faculty. The teams were made up of Chet Ray, Mat Garbett, Bob Baker, Don Stanford, Dick Bacon, Don Burns, jack Lupton, Clayton Coleman, jay Furman, Mario Ferranti, Jerry Lombardi and Dan Sass. Also included on the teams were: john Serafine, Bill Hoeppel, Ray Peet, Eldridge Mains, Jerome Cleary, Bill Rusin, Tom Turner, Tom Baxter, Bill Buchanan, Maurice Vaughn, joe DiFalvio and Don Winterstein. As the seasons come and with added financial income, it is hoped that the Intramural field of sports may be enlarged. It has been through the efforts of Mr. Reutlinger and Mr. E. Lalley, gym instructors, that such a large number of sports to play in our extra time has been afforded. It is hoped they will continue their fine work.

After many changes in plans as well as rules, basko-soccer was chosen as the fall intramural sport. As the name implies it is a combination of basketball and soccer and is played on a regular basketball court. It is a fast game because the ball is in play in the air as well as on the floor. A round robin tournament was com- pleted in which Barbara Moses' team was victor. She was ably assisted by such players as Virginia Carver, Lor- etta Crandell, Barbara Crandell, Ruth Goerlitz, Elsie Gregory, Rachael Ingraham, Margaret Ivey, Bette Lindsey, Virginia Phillips, Agnes Terrell, Lela Vorce and Virginia Zeamer. Winter sport, basketball, under the direction of Mrs. Gladys C. Ordway, was enjoyed over a long season start- ing just after Thanksgiving and lasting until the latter part of March. The season started oft with practice in handling the ball, methods of shooting for goals, different passes, plays, skills and games leading up to basketball, and rules for basketball. Twelve captains and class teams were chosen and later the teams were combined under Leagues A and B. Captains Dot King, Martha Wheeler, Virginia Zeamer, Mary Savo, julia Root and Peg Parsons ofhciated for A League teams. Martha Wheeler's team came out winner in the A League having won five out of six games. Mem- bers of her team were Rachael Ingraham, Bette Lindsey, Peg Ivey, Margaret Van Scoy, Margaret Leach, Alice Alston and Delina Madormo. Delina was high scorer for the team, while Shirley Rogers rated high score for the league having won four more points than Delina. B League captains were Betty Rury, Mary Maga, Ruth Hamblin and Helen Platner. Betty Rury's team won first place in this league. Members of the team were Betty Rury, Ann Moriarity, Marion Strozzi, Minnie Blazicek, Charlotte Fay, Marian McCallum and Dorothy Eagan. Marion Strozzi was high scorer both for the team and for the league while Betty Reno was close second in this league. Tennis practice was started the first part of March, indoors, with lectures on scoring, best places for receiv- ing and serving, the diagrams of courts and detailed in- struction on form for the forehand and backhand drives and serving. Practice was twice a week in the girls gym- nasium. A manager for each class was chosen: Peg Hahn for seniors, Dot King for juniors, and Marcia Titus for sophomores. Major and minor tournaments were played. Ladder tournaments were played off through june 6, followed by the Inter-class tournament. This tournament consisted of first, second and third singles and first and second doubles. Girls on each team as of May 22 were: Senior ladder-Peg Hahn, top round, jean Ward, second, then Pag Parsons, jane Rose, Mary Harper, Wilma Stever and Peg Spendley. junior ladder-Margaret Basel, top round, Ann Culbertson, second, then Dot King, Evelyn Hoover, Rachael lngraham, Bette Hamlin, jean Rose- boom. Sophomore ladder-Pauline Vomvoris, Theresa Dugo, Marcia Titus, Marion Strozzi, Bette Barth, Lois Umstead, Mary Page. Sixty girls answered to the call for volley ball players which was substituted for the softball intramurals. Four teams were organized, captained by Virginia Zeamer, Marguerite Basel, Margaret Parsons and Alice Alston. A round robin tournament was played to determine the winner and terminate the intramurals for the year.
