It was one of those refreshing fall days. Tl1e room was unusually silent with the boys quietly chatting with limil Goldberg in one corner of the room. Miss Johnson was also absorbed in the art of conversation when, as if in a gust of wind, the former Captain Herzig ambled in with a fencing foil which attracted the atten- tion of the boys, who clustered about him eagerly, and discovered that the foil needed mending. I am going to have it repaired in this school, said Herzig. It's too Hne a foil to lose. All eyes glistened at the thought of foils. Before long the art of fencing was being discussed by Miss Johnson and the students. It's a beautiful art, said Miss Johnson, 'Hand a manly one. Fencing is one of the finest and oldest sports to be found. Then Stanley Sieja, who was destined to become the most renowned of the future fencers, asked the question that made all the boys' concentrate. How about a fencing team for Textile? I think it would be excellent practice for the boys and- But Stanley got no further. The enthusiastic teacher and students an- swered all future suggestions and it was not long before with the earnest help of I-Ierzig and Sieja and the enthusiasm of Miss Johnson, the Fencing Team was head- ing towards undreamcd of wonders. Practicing nearly every ninth period in the well-remembered art room in Eighteenth Street, the feneers were soon drifting to glory and success. It was but a number of weeks before tl1e team defeated that of a neighboring high school. A second tournament also proved successful and as the result of the untiring efforts manifested by the fencing boys, they were awarded the two Championship Loving Cups, which can be observed and admired at any time in the show case of the Art Department in Textile High School. The success of the team is attributed mainly to the efforts of the coach, Stan- ley Sieja, and Miss Jo-hnson's uncqualled help. YVe now go into the season of 1929 and find an entirely new team but endowed with the old spirit. Charles Horowitz, the new captain, Harold Seymore, the sub- coach, and Jack Behr, the manager, are controlling the team and working very hard to capture additional honors for Textile. lVe wish them the best of luck. THE WATER POL0 TEAM In the matter of swimming Textile is becoming more and more advanced. The swimming team, which is a successful one, has developed a water polo team. This is something new in the history of Textile. Credit can be given to Captain Arty Vlfadler of the swimming team. Vlfadler is the Captain of the water polo team, as well as the coach. In the City of- New York there are not many teams of this type, and therefore no mention has been made in the other schools. If it were possible that a water polo league be formed, Textile would prove itself successful, as VVadler has trained his team to fully understand the rudiments of this well-known sport. After much practice the members were finally picked. These are l'Vadler, Follick, Sugden, Goodney, Chmicl, Applebaum, and Kowal. The manager of this team is Chris Clarke. Good luck, boys!
