THE CLIFTON IAN 15 PUBLIC SPEAKING On March 14, ten Juniors and Seniors competed in the Annual Prize Speaking Contest. In the girls’ contest the first prize was won by Helen Whedon, the second by Margaret Cornell. Wilbur DeVall won the boys’ first prize and Howard Roth the second. Helen Whedon represented Clifton Springs in the Finger Lakes District Contest for girls held at Romulus, while Wilbur DeVall represented the school in the District Contest for boys which was in Geneva. -------------o------------ ASSEMBLIES Once every other week we have left our loved classwork for a period of entertainment in the auditorium. Programs in which our fellow classmates took part were particularly enjoyed, among them the following: “The Boomville Band”—in which we were educated (?) musically by Professor DeVall and his band (to say nothing of the Mayor Bloodgood and others). “Fudge and the Burglar”—in which Sue Fox and others rendered high entertainment. “Wanted—A Wife” and “Getting Experience”—in which the eighth grade acted quite grown up. “An Old Fashioned Christmas”—in which the seventh grade ably performed. “Station B-U-N-K”—in which any number of celebrities were seen and heard, including Katie Smithers, in the flesh, Graham Cracker, and Edna Hallis Flopper. “The Job Hunters”—in which we saw the proper and improper methods of finding jobs and enjoyed the improper methods more. “Sauce for the Goslings”—in which the pupils of Phelps High School performed very ably. Other programs greatly appreciated were the science demonstrations, given by members of the Physics class, and a movie, “Byrd at the South Pole,” shown at the Palace Theater. At various times throughout the year speakers on educational topics were heard. The band always added noise and enjoyment to these assembly programs. -------------o------------ SCHOOL NEWS School News is that up-to-the-minute (?) report of school activities which appears in The Press every week. It is maintained by members of the English IV class and each quarter of the year sees an entire new staff (thank Heaven!). This year the editors have been Nan “Good Editorials” Quigley; Howard “International Relations” Roth; Helen “Ink-Stained Fingers” Whedon and Ruth “Good Ideas” Buchan, each assisted by willing (well, maybe) and competent co-workers. (Note: We’re very glad to have School News, for each edition is pasted in a scrap book and makes a permanent record of all school functions. Maybe we haven’t used it to jog our memories!) ------------o------------- R. Haubner: “Dad, you are a lucky man.” Mr. Haubner: “How is that?” Robert: “You won’t have to buy me any school books this year. I’m taking all of last year’s work over again.” ------------o------------- Miss Howard: “What is the latest date mentioned in your book?” Ashley Macomber: “Sunday night until four o’clock.” ------------o------------- Lovett Hare: “They stopped a six day bike race in New York the other day.” G. Peters: “Why?” Lovett: “Peddling without a license.” ------------o------------- C. Moran: “It must have taken a lot of nerve to dive from that high tower.” P. Brown: “Nerve nothing. All it took was a little push.”

S. H. S. boasts no Alma Mater. It was with this thought in mind that Wilbur DeVall composed the following verses which may be sung to the tune of the Cornell “Alma Mater.” C. S. H. S. Stately stands our dear old High School, Standing for the best, May we all be loyal to her. May she e’er be blest. May our guide be this our motto, “Live to learn and see.” Ever working for her interest To keep fond memories. We will cheer our teams to vict’ry We will e’er be true Alma Mater cheer forever For the Gold and Blue. CHORUS— To our High School, be our duty Hers to own and rule So that when she’s far behind us It’s Clifton Springs High School. —WILBUR DE VAT.T, -------------o------------- Mr. Spencer: “How is it that you have only written ten lines on ’Milk’ and th« others have written pages?” A. Miner: “I wrote on ‘Condensed Milk,’ sir.” -------------o------------- “Bus” Walters: “I can tell you the score of the game before it starts.” “Bob” Walters: “What is it?” “Bus”: “Nothing to nothing—before it starts.” -------------o------------- Miss Frantz: “This essay on ‘Our Dog’ is exactly like your brother's.” Wilma Elkie: “Yes, ma’am, it’s the same dog. -------------o------------- Miss Howard: When was tennis first mentioned in the Bible?” J.
