Sure- ly our successful heroes havelan advantage and incentive in possessing our large and truly wonderful Babbott Field. This splendid playground, consisting of approximately six acres, was presented to Waterville several years ago by Frank L. Babbott of New York City. Mr. Babbott was the first graduate of the old Waterville High School. At first Babbott Field was used only as a social center for the community. Here picnics, track meets and town baseball games were held. Such activities .were not very frequent and so the field was, for the greater part of the time, unoccupied. At this period, school children entered Babbott,Field only as spectators of town festiv- ities. However, as time went on and these festivals became fewer and the field was more and more abandoned, they fell into the habit of stopping there daily 'for a few moments of play until Babbott Field 'became largely a school accessory. When a lot adjoining Babbott Field was chosen 'as the site for Waterville's new school, the school's jurisdiction over this playground became even more firmly and clearly es- tablished. Long previous to the building ,of the new school, the playground had been equipped with swings, chutes, a swinging trapese, and tennis court. The soccerlay- out was then added and the'ball diamond was greatly improved. r .r R 'hulk . all 7. ' ' ,rg ii QACADEMIC UN1o Q ,E . Soccer. although a new game for Waterville students, met with their most sin cere approval and hearty enjoyment. This sport was introduced by our new coach, Joseph Fischette, and every day at the beginning of our fall termiwhen the weather permitted, one might see either the 'girls or boys out on the playground engrossed in an all absorbing game of this spectacular pastime. Mr. Fischette also aroused our enthusiasm for archery and golf and instructed us in these arts. Babbott Field is an excellent place for practicing the latter. For the yearly upkeep and betterment of Babbott Field, its generous giver left in trust a fund of five thousand dollars. Plans have been madeufor additional equipment to be placed during the coming summer vacation. Through the summer months when school is not in session the wplayground is kept in perfect condition and school children are free to go there as often as they like. A full time playground instructor will make the play there educational as well as recreational. Vllaterville youth grow up, we believe, amid an atmosphere of opportunity and inspiration. Surely, if we, surrounded as we are, by every advantage that could pos- sibly be offered to a person of school age, do not make a success of our school life and sincerely pursue our education, or fail in any way to make the most of 'our ex- treme good fortune, we are indeed very foolish and very unappreciative of all that has been done in our behalf by the people of Waterville, and especially by Mr. Bab- bon.

The history of our class has not been an exception. For the past four years, we have struggled to- gether on the rugged pathway that has at last led us to this day. This has NOT been a HROSY PATHWAY, for all along the way, there have been thorns of hard- ships, disappointments, jealousies, indolence, and other thorns too numerous to men- tion, but We have at last torn away the awful thorns--and now have within our grasp our reward-a beautiful rose-A DIPLOMA. - 1 shall now attempt to give you a true history of the Class of 1931, portraying to you some of our struggles for the past four years, but regardless of these struggles, it has been a great game after all. Just as a game of golf, were it not for the haz- ards, THERE WOULD BE NO GAME. The members of the Class of 1931 who started their school career together were: Genevieve Wright, Margaret Cleary, Virginia Volkman, Murray York, Rosalie Ran- dall, Robert Kehoe and Roderick Huntington. This group continued its studies un- interrupted until it was joined by John Bourke in the fifth grade who, having skipped the fourth grade, decided to enter the ranks of the learned. Until reaching high school these students led a fairly uneventful school life with the exception of acquiring class rings in the eighth grade, and graduating from lower halls of learning to enter the four years of high school which are now being brought to a close. During this time many new members joined the class, namely: Mary Ready, Arlean Draheim, Catherine Williams, Lavinia Jones, Esther Lloyd, Mary Norton, Nellie Hughes, Reuben Jacobson, Francis Tuffey, Leland Davis, Rich- ard Myers, Maldwyn Lloyd, Ralph Roberts and Karl Kline. We acquired class rings in our junior year, of which we were very proud. As seniors we elected the following officers: John Bourke, president, Arlean Draheim, secretary, and Rosalie Randall, treasurer. Our class has been included in almost all activities. Lavinia Jones, Rosalie Randall, Roderick Huntington, John Bourke, Karl Kline and Robert Kehoe have par- ticipated in the Talcott Prize Speaking Contests, and both mathematics and essay prizes have been won by members of the class. The Academic Union Board has also had representatives from the class of 1931, namely: Arlean Draheim, Rosalie Randall, John Bourke, Robert Kehoe, Francis Tuffey, Murray York and Roderick Huntington. Several of our members have shown themselves to be athletes, especially in bas- ketball. They are: Genevieve Wright, Arlean Draheim, Rosalie Randall, Mary Ready, John Bourke, Murray York, Reuben Jacobson and Ralph Roberts. Our twelve years together are filled with pleasant memories and it is with re- gret and yet anticipation of an equally happy future that we leave our high school days behind. Mary Norton.

The seniors of Water fully realized their golden opportunity, nay, their solemn duty to the public presented to the public on October 17, 1930, a worthy drama of an educational A College Townf' Not one of the caste but played his role with a high minded and faithfully attended most of the rehearsals with a sense of benevolent vi Constantly did the players keep before them the lofty ideal of presenting the p with an ideal performance. When the rehearsals had reached the point where the play could be put on deep and proper feeling by the interpreters, the grand event was staged, and you to see it. If your particular pal were playing the leading juvenile role, you sq dered your substance for a front seat. If you were more fortunate, you invited lady and sat with the rest of the gang and their ladies in the balcony. The cu rang up promptly and disclosed that tall girl who wears a yellow silk jersey ar school, arriving as a college week-end visitor. Anon appeared the man who back from college last fall-you never knew he could act. He couldn't. The president, the jester, and another came on disguised. as females. You appla madly. Their families sat in the third row, with strained expressions, as th each member had a toothache. The play went on until suddenly there was an a silence on the stage. Came a sepulchral voice from the wing. The play went you never found out what happened. Between the acts, you craned your neck to see whom that new girl with th hair came with, and who that fellow was that brought Joyce. The ,families 0 performers read their programs over and over and clapped little. At last the curtain came down and all was over. You went home, and decided to read the icism in the School News the next Thursday. You shook all the performers b hand, and shouted at them in the postoffice how well they did, and they clen their teeth-and thanked you. lf they were girls, you looked at the flowers were wearing and they blushed. The next week you forgot all about it. But it all happened again commencement week-same cast-same stage- business of uplifting the public with a superior performance. A year s experi as foci of interest, and admiration and what-not, had given each worthy senior a that lent peculiar attraction to this last great dramatic effort of the class. They c with sugar the lesson that it is better to be honest and happy than rich and regr will dwell in the memory,-of sweet girl graduates, and manly young blades to assume the weight of the world's responsibilities. And so, no doubt, it will all happen again next year, for the business of u ing the public cannot be allowed to rest, and-the playas the thing.

Feeling that we have not much longer to live, we desire that our property, namely, our faults and virtues, should be equally distributed be- fore our death. First, we desire that we should be given decent burial, with the juniors as pall bearers, and the sophs and faculty as chief mourners. To the faculty we leave peace and quiet from one of the worst good classes that has ever been in school. We also desire that they shall forget the many red marks they have put down on our papers in trying to make out our hieroglyphics. To all the juniors, we leave our home room, hoping that they will enjoy it as much as we have. Rosalie Randall leaves her excess height to Lowell Peckham. Lowell we hope it wonit inconvenience you. I To Bob Dutton we leave Dick Myers, freshman crushes. Now, Bob, have pa- tience, they are only 'ffreshiesf' . John Bourke says he is going to be good to one who deserves it and desires to leave his basketball career to Anna James, also his telephone number. Karl Kline is going to leave Priscilla to the care of Frederick Brunner, and Frederick, do be careful. Margaret Cleary, our ubestw little good girl, says she is just tired of being good, and for a change is going to be bad like Mary Fuess. Mary, here's hoping that you wonlt worry other folks with your goodness as Margaret does. Dilys Jones is just the noisiest senior we have, and she is going to leave this good traiti' to Agnes Angier. After this Agnes you'll never have stage fright as Dilys never did. Bob Kehoe is going to leave his graceful walk to Mr. Jenkins. Maybe he,ll have to teach you how, Mr. Jenkins, but youill soon learn. Francis Tuffey, who can read Latin with his eyes shut, leaves this unusual ability to Freddy Byrnes. Miss O,Hare, see that he profits by it. Genevieve Wright leaves her hobby for drinking chocolate milks during basket- ball season to Mary Brown. Mary, be sure Mr. Fischette is not around. Mary Norton leaves all of her big cars to Stewart Fuess. Do be careful, Stewart. Virginia Volkman leaves her quiet ways to Bob Fuess. We hope that you profit by them, Bob. Esther Lloyd leaves all her jilted suitors to Anne Doyle. Be kind to them, Anne, and they will live. UBocken,, Lloyd, the drug store cowboy, leaves his ability for putting up pre- scriptions to Johnny Head. Remember, John, gasoline and lime won't mix. To the Class of ,32, Jakey leaves his whiskers, as an inspiration to bigger and better achievement. Doc7' York leaves his pipe and flashy suspenders to Billy Locke. They'll go good with that velvet vest, Billy. Leland Davis leaves his Essex sport model to Tessie Westmoreland, so that she can go to more dances. Arlean Draheim leaves her 'gpulll' with Mr. Jenkins to Bessie Ogden. We hope you can use it, Bessie.

People of today are perhaps too inclined to take this science for granted. Here is a little comparison that is rather interesting: A few years ago, Theodore Roosevelt traveled thousands of miles in his campaign trip. He spoke before huge crowds in the nationis largest cities, and his fiery eloquence moved many thousands. But these thousands were a mere few of the votes cast in the election. What, then, of the millions of voters who did not hear the messages that the candidates had to offer? What of John and Mrs. Hayseed, in Pumpkin Hollow, whose votes counted fully as much as those of Mr. and Mrs. Bigshot, who lived in a state metropolis? The candidate could not hope to reach the millions of 'chayseedsn all over the nation, 'and could merely trust that the newspapers had given these voters an idea of what his platform was. Today the presidential candidate steps onto a platform before a large audience. On the table in front of him is a little instrument suspended by springs set in a frame. It is no bigger than an alarm clock, and is equally alarming. Alarming because of the fact that it starts the speaker's voice on a journey to millions of listeners all over the world. Mr. and Mrs. Bigshot, sitting in the midst of the great crowd, can hear no more, perhaps not so much, as can Mr. and Mrs. Hayseed, sitting in their parlor one thousand miles away. Every rise or fall in the speaker's voice, every fact he recites, every point he illustrates, comes to them with thrilling clearness. You may rest assured that when the Hayseeds cast their votes it is with an excellent knowledge of the policies and virtue of the contending candidates. Such is the power of the radio, reaching into far distant lands-slashing dis- tances-entertaining-instructing-yes, even saving lives. As is generally the ex- perience of all new and line things, evil is creeping in. This evil is radio advertising in its present state. America is noted for its billboards. These huge signs are spoiling the scenery of our countryside all over the nation. Now we have Nbillboardsn of the air, which are threatening more and more to destroy the enjoyment of our broadcast band of radio frequencies. We sit down to our radio, turn to-a station, and hear that Hthis program comes to you through the courtesy UD of the Blotz Toothpaste Corp. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know that nine thousand nine hundred and seventy- six doctors indorse our toothpaste. It tastes like candy, is guaranteed not to roll off the brush, and hasnlt scratched yet. The use of this product, etc., etc.,,, for ten or fifteen minutes. Disgusted we turn to another station, and are advised emphatically -yet, nearly frantically, to MSmoke Old Molds, thereis not a bark in a boatloadf' So it goes, the demon of radio advertising threatening increasingly our radio pleas- ure. Can we not turn the facilities of this new science into more useful channels? Can we not educate the radio public to more valuable facts than those offered by radio advertisers? Let us purge the air of this evil before it becomes too deply rooted, as have the billboards of today. If these advertisers were uchased offv the air, and current topic reviews, music appreciation programs, talks on modern subjects, etc., substituted iri their stead, the radio public would learn considerably more, as well as having actually enjoyed it more. Newspapers, magazines, yes, even billboards, give the manufacturers space 'GIG - IGIGIIQ OIOI I ' ldllull IJ J ' ' ' ' ' ' , L n. ll ii QACADEMIC UNION Q K Q enoughg let them leave the air for more enlightening and entertaining topics. I suppose, however, that radio advertisers will never be thoroughly gotten rid ofg the science is too well adapted to advertising. I do not lose sight of the fact that some advertisers really have benefitted the radio public. More power to them for it, but let me enter a final plea for discre- tion. If we must have radio advertising, can it not be in a more scrupulous way? Let the advertiser give his program, announce that he gave it, and leave the flowery adjectives, staggering statistics, and velvet phrases for their proper place in the news- papers or magazines.

I think the scarlet tanager the most handsome, and the crow the most ugly. One of the birds that I have watched is the robin, especially in building its nest. The most interesting time to watch a robin is when it is learning to Hy. The young robin that I watched Hew a short distance, landed on the ground, and started calling to ils parents. The old birds were in the trees nearby, and would call to the young robin, but would not go down where he was. The small bird kept flying a short distance each time until he was out of my sight. There are many sparrows and starlings where I live. These birds drive the other birds from their food and take it themselves. The starlings even drive the other birds away from their own nests. An example of this is: A pair of robins built their nest in a box attached to the back of our Tarn. The next year they came again to the nest. The third year starlings drove the robins away from their nest and starlings have claimed the nest ever since. The starlings and sparrows eat much grain and destroy crops. The,former increases rapidly in number, and unless means are taken soon they will drive all other small birds away. One day I saw several crows chasing a hawk. I watched the light for several minutes observing how the hawk always kept just out of reach of the crows. AWhen the crows came toolclose to the hawk, the hawk would attack them. The crows had gained no advantage over the hawk when they disappeared from sight. My experience with pheasants was a little different from any other experience that I had ever had. One day while mowing, my father came to a place where a hen pheasant was setting on some eggs. The pheasant was very scared and Hew away. My father did not think that she would come back so he told melto take the eggs and put them under a setting hen. I took the eggs and set them as I' was told. A few days later the pheasants hatched. There were eleven eggs, ten hatching. The pheas- ants lived about two5weeks and then all died. Last winter when the snow was deep I saw seven female pheasants and one male trying to find food. There was practically no food which the fpheasants could find, and they were quite a distance from any farm, so people could not give them food to eat. The wild apples and weed seeds were covered with snow leaving only golden- rods which still remained above the snow. The snow also covered brush which would protect the birds. I think the birds do more good than harm, for they eat many weed seeds and kill many insects. The birds should be protected by law to save them from being killed. If there were no birds there would soon be no crops, for the insects would be so numerous that they would destroy all the crops.

Waterville became a member of a faster circuit, the Upper Mohawk Valley League, and Gnished in third place. The team won half of its league games and six out of ' ten independent games. The squad was made up of Kane, Jacobson, Bourke and Evans at guards, Robarge, Brunner and Jacobson alternating at center and Doyle, Byrnes Dutton, Locke York and Fusek at forward The first practice sessions late rn October brought out quite a large number of candidates Fundamentals were stressed by Coach Frschette for a period of three weeks and then different teams were formed for scrrmmaffrnff and signal drills The first ame with Vernon was easily won 19 9 This game attracted a large crowd and the ymnaslum was well filled The starting team in this game was Capt Jacobson and Kane at uard positions Robarge at center and Byrnes and Doyle at forward posts The defense was fairly stron but the team lacked an of fense which was weak throughout the season The next game w as w 1th Sauquort and was won bv a larger score 25 l0 Bourke 2 0 alternated wrtlr Kane at uard rn this game and was paired with him when Capt Jacobson played center The team then ran up against stronger opposition and barely managed to eke out a WIH over Harolds Sport Shop of the Litlca Municipal League bv a sc ore of 23 22 Waterville led la 6 at thc half but was or erpow er ed the list period Bourke Doyle and Dutton made six points each to lerd the scormf 7 7 ' 0 ', I ' .

However, this game and the second New Hartford game was for- feited due to the ineligibility of their captain. They then traveled to Westmoreland and the smallest basketball court imagin- able. In an interesting game, they defeated the Westmorelanders 22-18 with Doyle and Kane being the big guns in the scoring department. . Following this victory six straight games were lost. This is the longest losing streak a Waterville team has encountered for a few years. Games were dropped to the Alumni, Sherburne, Whitesboro, New York Mills, Vernon and Clinton. Two games were lost by two points, one by three points and one by one point. At Sher- burne the team was without the services of Kane and Doyle and the second team played most of the game, losing out 11-9. New York Mills, who had beaten 2New Hartford, was held even until the last period of play. Hard luck still played an im- portant part. Kane left the game in the first period on personals and Jacobson left the game because of an injury to his ankle at the end of the third quarter. The team then Mblew upi' and lost a hard fought game. The Mills team was found later to be using two ineligible men who had scored 15 points of their team's 23. The next night, without Capt. Jacobson, we lost to Vernon, who earlier in the season were easily beaten. lt was a poorly played game and ended 24-23. Westmoreland, the last team to be beaten before the losing streak, was trimmed again with Bourke taking scoring honors with eight points. f The next game at Hamilton was lost 25-16. Waterville led at the end of the first half 14-9, but was unable to stop Branigan, Hamilton center, the last period. Poor condition seemed to trouble the entire team and was credited for some of the games lost in the last few minutes of play. Compulsory training was added to every practice session and the fellows steadily improved. After mid-year exams it was learned that Kane, who has been playing guard most of the time, was ineligible to play the rest of the season. ln revenge for an earlier defeat, Sherburne was met and defeated 16-10 -in one of the fastest games of the year. Strong defenses by both teams featured the battle. Whitesboro and New York Mills were beaten in successive Fridays to mark our first league victories. Whitesboro was beaten 24-14 with Robarge fand Jacobson making fifteen of the points. The Mills game was very close throughout and one of the roughest of the year. Clinton was taken in a slow game in which tl1e shooting was very poor. Locke made six points to lead Waterville's scorers. The score of this game was 16-14. The next game was the poorest exhibition of basketball that was seen in the gymnasium during the year. Sauquoit, a team we had very easily trimmed early in the season, upset us 18-17. Coach Fischette started the second team who worked fairly well but the first team, filled to the brim with confidence, handed the game to Sauquoit. This defeat seemed to wake the team up and two nights later they gave Hamilton, league champions, their hardest battle. The first quarter was scoreless, and at the half Hamilton led 6-3. At the end of the third quarter they still were ahead 14-6, but a determined rally in the last quarter by Waterville brought the score to 14-12, but one more field goal by Hamilton clinched the game for them. This made Waterville High's debut -into a Class A League and, considering the opposition, the team did exceptionally Well and Coach Fischette is to be congratu- lated upon the team he turned out. Next year with the return of 'flohnnyn Head and all of this year's team except Jacobson and Bourke, our hopes are bright for a successful season. Fred Byrnes. 3 I M130 J OIQISDIQ OIC!

'. 2 0 ' 9 , GIRLS BASKETBALL 5 The Girls, Team of Waterville High enjoyed a most successful season, winning 0 12 games, losing 5, and playing one game to a tie. The largest number of girls Q ever trying out for positions appeared in the new gymnasium last fall. The team 9 didn't enter the Upper Mohawk Valley Girls' League as it would have been necessary E O to play under different ruling than they had been accustomed to. 9 The first game was played in the local gymnasium against Vernon High. Water- 2 ville easily won by a score of Gert Jackson and Winnie Lloyd made 17 and 2 ll points respectively. Captain Gen. Wright and R. Randall held Vernon's forwards 0 to one field goal. Many substitutes were used and all proved equally efficient but ' were unable to score without Jackson and Lloyd. , The second team played most of the next,game at Sauquoit and held them to , five points. Anna James, regular center, and Lloyd led the scoring for Waterville. 0 At Westmoreland the girls were far below their usual form and lost a poorly 2 played game, 25-8. I 9 1 . .

Lack of practice was illustrated in this game by the Alumni. The girls then journeyed to Sherhurne where they dropped another game 17-8. Waterville led at the half, but playing under strict girls' rules the second half were powerless to stop the Sherburne center, who made 12 points in this half. Two fresh- men were now being used regularly on the hrst team. Lloyd had held a forward post all season, and now Whitacre was being paired with Captain Wright at guard. Two nights later, in the local gymnasium, the term lost another game. They were conquered by the Utica Collegians, who were known to be one of the best semi- pro outfits in Central New York. They were held to two fouls in the second half, but the locals were unable to score and the game ended 16-6. Following these two losses Waterville won four games in short order over Ver- non, Westmoreland, Hamilton and Morrisville Aggies. They also played two over- time periods with New York Mills girls to a tie score 9-9. The girls then lost another to Sherburne. Playing strict girls, rules the first half, Sherburne led 16-3, but although Waterville rallied desperately the visiting team won 19-11. Next on the schedule was a game with Ononda Girls of Clxadwicks which turned out to be a rough-and-tumble affair. Anna james made ten points to lead all scorers, but Waterville was on the short end of a 22-19 score. Mary Brown, one of the lead- ing scorers of last year's championship team, was again eligible to play and alter- nated at forward with Lloyd. New York Mills, who had held Waterville to a tie earlier in the season, was swamped 22-1. Lloyd took scoring honors with nine points. The girls then participated in an interesting game with Utica State Hospital Girls, coming out on top 21-19. The Ononda Girls were again met and beaten 16-12. The 1930-31 season was closed with victories over Sauquoit and Hamilton. Gert Jackson made 26 points in these two games. Coach Fischette loses Capt. Wright, James, Jackson and Randall from the regu- lar team, but has a large squad of lower class members to pick from next year. All of the above have played consistently throughout their years in high school and will be sorely missed. For winning the Tri-County cup 'three years in succession they were all instrumental, and if more players can be developed to take their places, Waterville High will certainly continue to hang up records.

' BASEBALL Baseball at Waterville suffered a poor season this year. Playing a schedule of eight games Waterville succeeded in winning only two. However one of these two wins was over our old rivals, New Hartford, so there was some consolation in this victory. . When a call was sent out for candidates a large squad reported, among whom were Head, Doyle, Byrnes, Bourke, Jacobson, Evans, Dutton, Locke, and York, letter men from last year,s team. There were several newcomers, among the best of whom were Kline, Martin and Cook. With seven of last yearis varsity back hopes ran high for a good team. We were in a new league this season which was composed of Clin- ton, Hamilton, Vvhitesboro, New Hartford and Vvaterville, and we wanted to make a good showing. ' ln our first league game, played at Hamliton, we were trimmed by the score of 15 to 4-. ' This game was played in a high wind and was marked by ragged playing by both sides. Jacobson and Bourke each got three hits out of tive trips to the plate to take the hitting honors. - In our second game we again met defeat, this time getting beaten by Clinton, last year's champs. This game was a hard fought battle but the inability of Waterville to hit' gave the visitors the game 13 to 9. Johnny Head, besides pitching a good game, got three hits out of four times at bat, to lead the hitters. A ln the next game Waterville was blanked by New Hartford 6 to 0. Many errors and inability to hit lost the game for Waterville. The next game brought victory to Waterville' in the form of a win over Whites- boro, with John Bourke pitching good ball and everybody hitting. Waterville won 8 to 4. However our victory was short lived for in the next game we were again beaten Q Juan no un : momma om: ' IGI on IO J ' P 00 ' ' 00 ' - 000 ' ' T! QACADEMIC U10 , , 3 E by Clinton 9 to 2. Kline and Jacobson featured, getting half of our hits between them. ln the next game we trimmed New Hartford l2 to I0 in a free hitting contest. Everybody was hitting and we were revenged for the basketball defeats they had given us. However that was the last game we won. In the next two games we were again defeated by both Wfhitesboro and Hamilton. The W'hitesbo1'o boys got all their runs in the first two innings, but we couldnit overtake them and lost 6 to 4. This game was featured by some marvelous catches by Carl Cook. ln our next and last game we were again beaten by Hamiltan 8 to 7. This was a very close game but errors proved our undoing. Jacobson featured in this game, getting four hits out of four trips to the plate. So ends our first year in the Upper Mohawk Valley League. Next year we hope to make a better showing and ubring home the baconn to Vifaterville. INTER-CLASS ACTIVITIES This past year inter-class athletic teams were organized for the first time in Waterville High School. Although making their appearance for the first time they were well supported and many lively battles were fought. At the beginning of the school year Coach Fischette introduced soccer for the first time. A playing held was laid out on Babbott Field and goal posts erected. Each class had a boys, team while the girls were divided according to their gym groups. Many practice sessions were held and then the big games began. In the girls' games there were many interesting battles but the Gifted teamf' under the cap- taincv of Mary Fuess, finally won. This team was composed of Mary Fuess, captain, Wiinnie Lloyd, Mary Byrnes, Margaret Terry, Ruth Bauer, Gertrude McLean, Pris- cilla Haves, Marian Brennen, Joyce Randall, Carol Stone, Betty Haynes, Genevieve Vifright and Anna .lames.. iThe boys' games seemed to hold more interest than the girls, for the1'e was much more shouting and general disturbafpce. Ma 'be it was because they seeme to be Talways kicking one and another. However, all the games were well fought, but in the end the Seniors won the league with a hard fought vistory over the Frosh. This team was com- posed of the following players: Ralph Roberts, captain. John Bourke, Murray York, Bob Kehoe, Karl Kline, James lluane, Francis Tuiliey, Richard Myers, Kenneth Smith, Roderick Huntington and Reuben Jacobson. During the basketball season an in- ter-class basketball league was formed. Cach class was represented by both a boys, and a girls' team. Members of the Yarsity were not eligible to play and so some of them were coaches. The games were played during the noon INTERCLASS CAIPTAINS hour and there were many hvely bat' Ralph Roberts, Mary Fuess, Thelma Hughes, fContinued on next pagej Cleveland James 2121 ' ' Ycfklk ' ' 'lllhllffbllln QACABEMIC UNION PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEMONSTRATION The grand culmination of a year's elforts in physical training was witnessed from packed bleachers in the Gymnasium the evening of April 24, 1931. A long and varied program of demonstrations from every branch of indoor work provided thrills from beginning to end. There were games, dances, apparatus work, stunts, corrective work, and pyro-techniques. Parents sat amazed at the physical prowess of their children, the children enjoyed exhibiting their training, and we all re- joiced more than ever at our good fortune in having our wonderful gymnasium. tles. In the girls' league the Sophomores, coached by Mary Fuess, and made up of Thelma Hughes, captain, Ruth Shoemaker, Marian Brennan, Grace Scott, Antoinette Wood, Grace Irwin, Theresa Ward and Floretta King, won the league. In the boys, division the Freshmen, coached by John Bourke, and made up of Bud James, captain, Scott Webb, Arthur Godfrey, LeRoy Pickett, Bill Butler, An- thony Ferrucci, Raymond Dunn, George Stafford, Willard Allen and Howard Lally, won the league. They beat out the Sophomores in a great game 20-19, thereby winning the championship. Inter-class athletics gives those people not out for varsity teams a chance uto play the game and provides good competition between the classes. Coach Joseph Fischette deserves credit for organizing these inter-class athletics, and we hope they will continue to have them at Waterville High School.
