Among those playing on the first squad are the following 'Logiansz Dick Lewis, Pete Metzgar, Pop Gloeckner, Harold Hermance and George Payne. The Fall Dance was the biggest social success of the season. It went over with a bang. A dandy crowd was present and everyone had a good time, even the censors. 'Logia wishes to congratulate coach Clyde A. Russell and every member of the Albany High School Football squad which won the Eastern New York State championship by defeating Newburg 23-14 at Chadwick park on November 25. THE FRENCH CLUB The French Club started this year with a rush. It opened the season by electing officers and the following were chosen: President, Miss Dorcas Hager, Vice-President, Miss Evelyn Magee, Treasurer, Davis L. Shultes, Secretary, Michael Tepedino. The membership this year is very large and as more and more hear of the excellent programs arranged by the program committee, headed by Miss Constance Beauman, the attendance steadily increases. Plans are being made for the purchase of a new phonograph to be used in the meetings. At present, the club is looking forward with a great deal of expectancy to the Christmas entertainment. This is an annual affair and very popular. The plans this year are more elaborate than usual. Miss Ruth Devlin has charge of the Club's library. The library in- cludes many French books and magazines which all members of the club may borrow. This material is of inestimable value in acquainting our people with French customs and styles of literature. Recently, Dr. Cochrane gave an illustrated lecture about Paris to the members. All who are eligible are urged to join now and under the able leader- ship of our president we shall carry the club through to a most successful close. DAv1s L. SHULTEs, '23

THE GARNET AND GRAY 13 two programs were the same, thanks to the kind assistance of Miss Houghton and Miss Riley. l felt, and I'm surewe all felt, a keen delight in the variety of pro- grams offered. May the affectionate feeling, now so strong, toward Roose- velt never die, and may his day and the days of other men who made and maintained America, be remembered again and again by High School pupils. i HELEN TOMPKINS THETA SIGMA NOTES Theta Sigma has enjoyed a most successful term under the following officers: President, Marjorie Greenman, Vice-President, Harriet Frost, Critic, Dorcas Hager, Recording Secretary, SerenaMcNutt, Corresponding Secretary, Hilda Sarr, Senior Editor, Helen Tompkins, First Junior Edi- tor, Anne Adams, Second Junior Editor, Ruth Sutton, Assistant Corre- sponding Secretary, Miriam Baker, Marshal, Harriet Parkhurst. Interesting quotations, dissertations and similar literary work as well as sketches, have been the features of the programs arranged by the Senior Editor. Sigma's annual fall dance was held on Armistice Day with suitable decorations. It was held in the corridors and the music was furnished by Miss Hart's orchestra. VVhen the championship football game with Cambridge was played at Union College, Sigma lent generous support and enthusiasm.

THE GARNET AND GRAY 15 GIRLS' ATHLETICS The boys have shown their worth in bringing home the football trophy and placing it in the library, but wait! The girls haven't begun yet! The regular basketball practice will be carried on until Christmas vacation. The captains, managers and teams will soon be chosen for the real games between classes after the holidays. As usual, the Juniors have their eyes on the letters again. Are they going to get them? Come to the games and see for yourself. As for gym, girls, hard work is required of us to be a credit to that new floor. It used to be an athletic stunt itself for our instructor to com- mand our marching column over hills and around pitfalls in the old floor. All that is past now, but the freshmen donlt know what they missed. We girls have a newcomer to welcome in our Physical Education de- partment, Miss Ward. She has already proved her ability for in spite of the fact that Miss Gsburne was sent as a delegate to the convention at Syracuse, Miss Ward managed the classes alone for a few days, no easy task. Should there be a track meet later in the year, let's hope we can find a few record-breakers in our midst and that there will be many worthy of rewards and praise. ' RENA BAKER, '23 PHILODOXIA Doxia has started the school year with such a record of achievements that a most successful season has been predicted for her. Under the leader- ship of her former president, Howard B. Noyes, and the present incum- bent, George J. Butman, the society has lived up to her reputation of doing only the finest work. The weekly meetings have been marked with brilliant orations and livid debates which simply show that the organization is still upholding a high standing of literary work. In October the 53rd anniversary of the organization of the society was celebrated. The biggest event was Honorary Night held on Friday, December 1. The feature of the evening was a debate between Doxia and the Websterian Literary and Debating Society of the Troy High School. The subject was, Resolved, That it would be to the best interests of the United States for the government to own and operate the coal minesf' The Doxia team, consisting of Howard B. Noyes, Captain and third speaker, William Ker- nan, second speaker, George Gildersleeve, first speaker and Clarence Stott, alternate, upheld the affirmative and because of their forceful presentation and excellent arguments won the debate. The annual Doxia dance was held on the following evening, Saturday, December 2, and proved a tremendous success. H
