THE PIONEER 17 THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Student Association was organized at the opening of the school year, with the following officers: President—Harold S. Knapp. Vice-President—J. Millard Strack. Secretary—Joseph Gerow. Treasurer—Miss Scott. The object of the Association is to transact all affairs of the school and the students, and, in this way, to benefit them by cultivating a sort of self-government and control. This year, the association has been very active, inasmuch as they successfully procured shorter hours, have revised and perfected a constitution, which may be successfully worked out by the students, who are to follow. UPSILON TAU SIGMA UPSILON TAU SIGMA. The Upsilon Tan Sigma, Alpha Chapter, which has been in operation for the past six months, among the High School students, is an organization which is well known throughout the county for its social activities. It is composed of the leading students of the High School, among them the greatest athletes. Although it consists of only seven members, at present, four belong to the baseball team, one to the tennis team, three to the track team, three to the Debating Society, and all the leading factions of the High School. The dances given by the Fraternity are considered the social events of the season, barring none, and are looked forward to with the greatest enthusiasm by all the county. Four of these dances were given throughout this past season, and all were very successful. President—Harold B. Gregg. Vice-President—Fletcher Hock. Secretary-Treasurer—Harold S. Knapp.

16 THE PIONEER lack of appropriate epithets to express his playing abilities. Suffice it to say that he needed the wings of Mercury and a bushel basket. The baseball team as a whole was a team of hitless and playless wonders, but next year, tbe fates permitting, they expect to show what they really can do. The schedule and results are: May 2, G. H. S. vs. Mackenzie, at Goshen, 13—7, Mackenzie. May 11, G. H. S. vs. Middletown H. S. at Goshen, 15—7, Middletown. May 16, G. H. S. vs. Mackenzie, at Monroe, 15—3, Mackenzie. —P. C. W. TENNIS Tennis, last fall, in spite of the late beginning of school and the long hours in school, started in the form of a High School tournament. In this tournament Elizabeth Philips won the girls’ single championship, and Harold Jackson the boys’ single championship. The tournament was finished just before winter, and when spring came, Elizabeth Philips had melted with the snow to another school in New Jersey. Notwithstanding the loss of our girl champion, the team was again organized, with Lucie Wallace, an exceptionally bril- liant player, as manager, and Harold Jack-son, as captain. The team is composed of three girls and three boys: Lucie Wallace, Harriet Cummins, Jane Gillespie, Harold Jackson, Robert Hock, and Philip Wilcox. The team has played two tournaments with the Middletown High School, in which it was very successful, capturing eight out of a possible ten matches. These are the last to be played this year, but plans are now under way for an early organization next fall, so as to be able to make use of the beautiful fall weather. —P. C. W., ’17. TRACK TEAM This year the track team has been a most pleasant surprise. With very little training, on account of the mauy fellows working on farms, our track team sailed in and captured third place in the Memorial Day Track Meet.
