THE GARNET AND GRAY 15 SCHOOL EVENTS BASKETBALL 1922-23 After a period of severe preliminary practice and much trimming Mr. Yavits placed his 1923 basketball team on the floor against Edison Draft- ing School of Schenectady. During the ensuing season we played the fastest and most prominent quintets in eastern New York. The score tally is a list of victories broken only by three defeats. Poughkeepsie became champion of Southern New York. We beat them both at home and away, making ours the favored team in the race for the cup. In the semi-finals at Union the Albany five displayed an excellent sys- tem of pass work, perfected by hard incessant drilling throughout the year. The beating Schenectady received was the most decisive ever given them by a high school team. The following evening we met Rensselaer for the fourth time, only to be defeated by the team who had taken the short end of three scores from us. Friday, March 23, the players will meet Plattsburgh in Northern New York. The season, as a unit, has been a success. We played 26 games with a total of 561 points for Albany, against 413 for opponents, and missed the championship of Eastern New York by but two points. HUBERT V.

THE GARNET AND GRAY Betts- Pearle A HAPPY OMEN Although the skies are gray and drear, And north winds shrilly sing, The world's all right, for he is here, The Prophet of the Spring. From twig to twig I watch him hop, A tiny ball of brown, And hear him cry, Cheer up, old top, I'm not a bit cast down l p LEONARD DIPACE, 'Z6 MYSELF AND ME I'm the best friend I ever had, I like to be with meg I like to tell myself Things confidentially. I often sit and ask me If I shouldn't Or if I should, And I find that my advice to me Is always pretty good. I never got acquainted VVith myself till here of late, And I find myself a bully chum, And I treat me simply great. I walk with me, I talk with me And I show me right and wrong, I never knew how well myself And me could get along. I've made a study of myself And compared me with the lot, I finally concluded I'm the best friend I've got. Ex- The Ottowa Campus Will the coach be given a letter P If Of course! Didn't he make the team ? Rock-a-bye, Seniors, in the tree top, As long as you study the cradle will rock But when you stop digging, the cradle will fall- And down will come seniors, diplomas and all ll 51

Keep up the good work, girls, for even if you can't all win the letters you have a chance for numerals if you play five halves. The regular gym work is in full swing now under Miss Osborne and Miss Ward. One can see us any day tripping lightly through the dancing, swinging Indian clubs vigorously, climbing over and around apparatus, rol- lowing out Walter Camp's exercises, or marching like a Parade of Wooden Soldiers through our tactics. March 1 was celebrated Kas everyone noticedj by the Senior girls as Baby Day. Appropriate instructions were given fin the gymnasium. classes and London Bridge and Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush seemed to be enjoyed by all. Practice for the State Basketball Test has begun. We have discovered muscles in our arms which were unknown before! Let us hope everyone will make the required number of feet. How hard some have been working at their physical training since the weights and measures have been taken for we realize those scales are correct. An examination of the teeth kept Albany's dentists busy for a while although the results of the observation were average. A chosen few of our Senior girls were asked to attend a North Eastern New York Physical Education Association convention not long ago and to participate in exposition work. It is worth mentioning that they were a credit to our old Albany High School.
