14 THE CLIFTONIAN BIG EVENTS OUR “CHAMPS Boys’ Basketball This year the basketball season was the best in the record of the boys’ teams. This season, 1929-30, has given to our boys three cups, many medals, much fame and proud hearts. The team was organized in the fall under the supervision of Mr. Spencer. The following members were chosen for the regular team: Ashley Macumber, Captain; Edward Walters, Elwyn Richardson, Louis Mark, Clifton Bloodgood, Elman Cowell, Gordon Clark. The boys went through the season keeping their school in suspense until the big night at Canandaigua when it was necessary to play an extra period of time, the score ending 17-13 in Clifton’s favor. Nothing daunted, our boys went to Rochester, when in a series of exciting games and we don’t know what else they won the Consolation Cup. This cup was given to the team who won from other winning teams of different leagues. Then the Finger Lakes League teams decided that they should also have the Sportsmanship Cup. While in Rochester our Captain won the medal for free shots, making the most number of foul shots. The following games played: is the schedule of C. S. H. S 27 Waterloo 30 C.S. H. S 13 Webster 29 C.

16 THE CLIFTONIAN “THE PATSY” On November 15, 1929, the Seniors gave their play “The Patsy” a three act comedy by Barry Conners. For eight weeks the cast had been busy studying their parts and practising. Under the capable guidance of Business Managers Marjorie Roth and Inger Newland, the publicity was extended throughout Clifton Springs and the neighboring towns. The play was attended by an audience of about 425 and the Seniors realized $235 in profits. The cast follows: Mr. Harrington, Clifford Wilson; Mrs. Harrington, Marian Sweeney; Patricia Harrington, Dorothy Cornell; Grace Harrington, Alice Cost; Tony Anderson. Sidney Wheat; Billy Caldwell, Orville Lagenor. To better advertise this play, “The Fatsygraph” was edited and there were write-ups on each of the players. Under the able coaching of Miss Le-Grand, the play was termed a success. MUSICAL NOTES The year ’29-’30 has been unusually successful in C. S. H. S. It has been especially so, musically. The Girls’ Glee Club has become an extra-curricular activity and not merely an experiment. The club has accomplished more this year than ever before. Under Miss Golden’s capable direction, four programs were presented—two at Assembly and one each night of the Elson Art Exhibit. Also, under Miss Golden’s direction, the orchestra has played several times. We hope that the orchestra will be larger, next year, and that we shall hear it more often and more at length. A new musical effort, as yet an experiment, but a promising one, the Clifton Springs High School Band, was instituted, this year. We have listened hopefully, all year, and have noted each improvement with delight. We are proud of our band and hope it will be even more successful, next year. We hope that musically and otherwise, all will be chords, not discords, in C, S. H. S. during 1930 and 1931. “THE BIG PARADE” The day after Clifton defeated Victor in the Championship game, there was great excitement in Clifton. School was dismissed early and a parade consisting of the band, team, and pupils was made. We marched nearly all over the town and let everyone know that we were proud of the victory. After classes everyone went to Phelps in trucks and cars and let them know that we had won. The Phelps people thought we were crazy, but we knew we were right. The team occupied the place of honor in the highly decorated truck. SENIOR DEBATE The question: “Resolved that the Baumes Law should be adopted throughout the United States,” was debated before the P. T. A. The affirmative side was upheld by Marian Sweeney, Alice Weimer, Marjorie Roth. The negative by Sidney Wheat, Clifford Wilson, Orville Lagenor. The debate was won by the affirmative side, the audience acting as judges. PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST The annual prize speaking contest was held in the C. S. H. S. auditorium on March 14. Those who took part were: Alice Weimer, Dorothy Cornell, Inger Newland, Sidney Wheat, Orville Lagenor, Catherine Walters, Doris McCormick, Francis Burke, Marjorie Roth, and Ellen Madden. The first prize was awarded to Alice Weimer who gave “The Curse of Regulus.” The second prize went to Inger Newland who gave “Bobby Shaf-toe.” The second prize went to Inger Newland who gave “Bobby Shaftoe.” The contest was judged by Miss Stapleton of Geneva, Mr. Straup of Newark, and Mr. Bullock of Manchester. “Deed” (To Betty in Walters Restaurant)— “Do you serve lobsters here?” Betty — “Yes! sit right down.”
