10 THE CLIFTONIAN Frantz is always ready to call you silly goose, she is also ready to help you and to give you a boost which is more than mere mechanical action. Mr. Smith: As a “clean-up man” he has no equal. And that reminds us that we might use him expeditiously, if not actually, on our baseball team. ----------------------------------------o-------------- BASEBALL, 1932 C. S. H. S. AGAIN THE CHAMPIONS ! For the third consecutive year, Clifton Springs High School has come through the baseball season as the undisputed champions of the Scholastic League. During the season only one league game was lost, which was due mostly to weather conditions, rather than to the inability of the players. Of the other two years, when C. S. H. S. also took the championship, the boys did not let one league game slip by them. Much credit is due to the ability of Coach William Spencer, who has coached the High School boys to the three successive championships which they now hold. Following are the scores and other statistics, for the season 1932- SCHEDULE C. S. H. S. . C. S. H. S. . . 13 . 10 Phelps Victor 2 C. S. H. S. . 2 Manchester . C. S. H. S. . . 15 Shortsville .. C. S.

THE CLIFTONIAN 9 SLANTS ON THE FACULTY Principal C. W. Hovey: Well, he’s our new principal, and a darn good one, too, but in case that’s insufficient, he’s the one who speaks with a peculiar quirk of the corner of the mouth, and when he speaks at the floor to an audience it is on the rebound theory; and as we are told in Physics that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, he can speak to any particular group or person and the rest hear nothing. Mr. Spencer: He could tell you much more about this rebound theory but he may want to use it himself some day, so let’s not be too pressing. Miss Cowley: “Dimpled smiles her true depth betray.” They say it takes the sunshine to drive away the clouds, and we’ve never yet met Miss Cowley without a smile. Mr. McCumber: He’s our bandmaster and he knows his business. Who else could get music out of those horns? The band members say, “He made us what we are today.” Miss Brown: She’s the “Outdoor Girl,” for when she’s not golfing she’s garden- ing. Perhaps that accounts for her attractiveness. She has attracted so many pupils into kindergarten that the class has had to be divided. Mr. Kasper: “He has “promoted” his new Senior “femme” already. We aren’t mentioning names, but we congratulate him on his choice and his way with the ladies.” Incidentally, he expects a crack girls’ basketball team next year —and why not? Miss Murnighan: “Tried, trusted and true” we say who know her, and what more can one say of a teacher? Miss Cook: Our school nurse is quite a “checker.” One can’t even be sick without her calling up to “check.” She’s quite a kidder, too, but in spite of these characteristics a good school nurse interested in our welfare. Miss Jones: “The Mystery Woman.” Of course we’re curious to know more about her and are jealous of her ability to remain so mysterious, for we think she knows more than she tells—perhaps. Miss Clark: “The Anthropologist,” or what have you? Nature study is her chief concern. She has a place in her heart for caterpillars, gold fish, moths, polly-wogs, and turtles—oh! what a heart! Miss Howard: We have quite fancifully depicted Miss Howard as Catherine the Great and as a horse-back rider in a “Just Imagine” column. Now we can do more than just imagine. We can actually see her driving her new “Chevy.” Miss Trautman: She’s the one big reason why the next generation of men will eat at home and like it. So, my starvelings, say good-bye to your tough steaks and sponge rubber cakes forever. Miss McAniff: In her little Ford, Miss McAniff drives. She takes all the teachers for a ride. Her sweet disposition is really a treat; And what a generous smile she gives students she meets. Miss Golden: Well, we swan, if it isn’t Miss V. L. G. popping up from nowhere and running smack into us, honey chile. Do you-all say smack down there, or is it smash? Just the same we-all wish you-all all the good luck in the world wherever you’all’s gwine next year and wish you-all was gwine stay with us-all. Miss Lamson: Wee little Lamson is learning how to “Reed” Another good Cliftonian deed, But we want to give “Bucky” a worthwhile hint— To clothe little Lamson, ’twould take a little mint. Miss Bishop: The entertainer. She’s not only an entertaining conversant, but also the “society bug” of the faculty. Suggestion: Maybe she’s wasting her talent here. Maybe her place in life is hostess at the Ritz-Carlton, or the Hotel Statler. Who knows? Miss Goodman: In the class room—“Neil, will you please be quiet?” Out for a spin with “Clem” and doing 65 miles per hour—“Oh, Clem, isn’t nature wonderful?” Moral: She’s a good teacher even if Neil is in some of her classes. Miss LeGrand: Quite small, yet a commanding character; quite humorous, yet serious on appropriate occasion. Altogether quite Napoleonic. Miss Kane: Just take a look at “Sugar Kane” Who Barney Google’s love has slain, She’s always smiling, even when mad— A teacher that Seniors are glad they’ve had. Miss Frantz: The sheet’s clean so far. Miss Frantz, but we’ll just have to write something down for you. We hope Miss Frantz doesn’t feel that way herself sometimes when she’s taking down names for eighth period. Although Miss

The team did not expect to win any championships but went out merely for the sport and good practice which was afforded them. Next year it is hoped by all the players and Coach Kasper, that the team will be in shape to make a better showing. Although they did not win any games, they showed very stiff competition to the opposing players. The following is a list of the games played and the scores: C. S. H. S 0 Phelps 10 C. S. H.

White. -----------o------------ CHEER LEADERS The weaker sex has always added forcibly to the cheering, and especially this year under the leadership of Mary Lannon and Mary Tomlinson, who have proved strong aids to Park and Sid, our ancient hurrah leaders. Jordy has been training to step into his big brother’s shoes, and there’s no doubt but that he can do it all right. He’s lent his husky voice very generously and we hope he does hereafter. They were all good! -----------o------------ COMPARISONS In the days of thirty-eight, A good man in gold Was worth his weight But those days are old. A man today Might not be worth his salt Who can say It may not be his fault. —EUGENE SMITH, Eng. III.
