To go back to the beginning, last year we were the so-called problem children of Mynderse until Mr. Vogel found home rooms for the largest class ever. Large bodies move slowly, it took us until after mid-years to get under way, when we elected Francis O'Grady, president of the classg and he with our ad- visers helped plan our only social activity, the picnic at the Cayuga Lake State Park. This was really an ambitious undertaking, considering the number to be transported, the sports program and subsequent appetities. That's the nice thing about freshmen, no one expects them to be either dignified in conduct or dainty in appetite, and our class was no exception. We really had a riotous time and everyone enjoyed himself with possible exception of the advisers. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rockwell roasted hot dogs while Mr. Wormuth and Mr. Vogel assisted by Miss Wickes, directed the recreational activities in an effort to keep us intact until we were ready to take the home trail. lt really was a big day for the trosh. l haven't mentioned our scholastic or athletic achievements, but both were promising. So ended our first year. Book Two starts with our reorganization as sophomores in new home rooms. We elected the following officers: Nellie Ward, president, Douglas Spaid, vice- presidentg Florence Campbell, secretary, lack Mumford, treasurer, advisers, Miss Miller, Miss Smith, Miss Weatherlow and Mr. Hilfiker. The record for the year is incomplete at this time, but the class has entered whole-heartedly into Mynderse activities and feel ready to join the ranks of upper classmen in the fall in guite the traditional manner.

The team got off to a bad start, but after the first few games, they clicked to perfection and the prospects of winning the Finger Lakes League title became a form of encouragement to them. The team played its best basket- ball in league competition and in the Fayetteville game. At Fayetteville, when 8 points behind, they staged a rally and held the opponents scoreless while scoring 10 points to win the game. The climax of the season was reached when Mynderse defeated the strong Geneva team on our own court 20-18 in two overtime periods. Mynderse's hopes for the title were dashed later when Geneva scored a 25-21 victory at Geneva. Although defeated at Canandaigua the following week, Mynderse retained second place in the league and played Manchester, the runners-up in League B, in the preliminary to the Geneva-Victor game at Canandaigua and defeated them by a 16-15 score. The season closed with 11 victories and 10 defeats. Douglas Cousin, star forward and high scorer for the season, was elected honorary captain for the 1933-34 season.
