18 THE CLIFTONIAN THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class was organized in the latter part of February with a membership of twenty-six. The following officers were elected: President—George Record. Vice-President—Margaret Cornell. Secretary—Edward O’Connell. Treasurer—Raymond Maslyn. Class Advisor—Mr. Hovey. The activities of the class have consisted of a Junior Prom on April 15, with music furnished by A1 McClurg and his “Flaming Oranges,” the presentation on May 20 of three one-act plays, “Washington's First Defeat,” “Two Crooks and a Lady,” and “Flittermouse,” and the annual trip to Owasco with the Seniors and faculty as guests. ------------o------------ PRIZES This year a number of prizes will be given at commencement as follows: School Census Prize of $25, given to the Senior leaving the highest average during the Senior year. P. T. A. Prize of $5, given to the Junior leaving the highest average during the Junior year. Alumni Association Prize of $5, given to the Sophomore leaving the highest average during the Sophomore year. Board of Education Prize of $5, given to the Freshman leaving the highest average during the Freshman year. ------------o------------ THE TOUCHDOWN This year the Seniors chose “The Touchdown,” by Marion Short, for their Senior play. On October 2nd, 1931, the try-outs were held, the cast being chosen entirely from the Senior Class except for Neil Buck, who kindly consented to take the part of Junius Brooks, the heavyweight sophomore, as no Senior was equal to it. The play was scheduled for Dec. 3rd but owing to the illness of a member of the cast it was not put on until Dec. 15, when it was presented very successfully, netting the Seniors about $225. ------------o------------ ARBOR DAY PROGRAM On May 6, the whole school took part in an Arbor Day program on the school lawn. George Cost opened the program by reading the Arbor Day proclamation. Rodney Dusinberre recited “Grandfather’s Trees.” “Historic Trees” was given by Lillian Earle. Seven pupils from the English II class under the supervision of Miss Frantz read essays on historical trees of the United States. “Planting for the Future” was recited by Rosalie VanKerkhove. A tree, as a living memorial, was dedicated by Mr. Hovey to the memory of Mrs. Ruby F. Leland. The exercises closed with the singing of “America the Beautiful” by the student body led by Miss Golden and Wilber DeVall. ------------o------------ WASHINGTON BI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION Clifton Springs held its bi-centennial celebration in the high school auditorium on February 23. The program was presented by students and several members of the American Legion before a large crowd. Several dramatizations were given by grade pupils in colonial costumes. The school band contributed several selections to the program, and pupils of the seventh and eighth grades presented patriotic recitations. The high school department depicted scenes from the life of Washington in five well-staged pantomimes. ------------o------------ Miss Cook: “Can you read those letters?” Ashley: “Sure, I learned those in first grade.” ------------o------------ Peg Grffiths: “It must be three years since I saw you! I hardly knew you —you have aged so.” Sue Fox: “Well, I wouldn’t have known you either except for that skirt.”
