It was organized in the fall by our music instructor, Miss Richardson, and has progressed rapidly under her able leadership. This club has proven itself very interesting and worthwhile to its members and we hope it will go on in years to come. '

The substitutes were Eugene Norton, Garry Spencer, VVarren Bessey. and William Paine. lfVe played six games losing five of them. Our only victory, which was over the Mark Emery School should have been more successful, but only four of our squad came. VVe used a classmate and defeated them I6 to IO. All the players did a ine job with no out- standing player. Most of the squad came from the seventh grade. The next season two of the first team players will be in high school. They are Garry Spencer and Herbert Lynds. Mr. Merrill coached the team. BASKETBALL BANQU ET A basketball banquet was held March 23 at the Academy Hall with Mr. Mark Pullen as toastmaster. Katherine Ela played the piano while we all joined in singing between the courses of the meal. After we had finished our dinner we heard a few speakers. The captain, Erma Hoyt, and Walter Ela gave short talks and Miss Jack- man was presented with a gift for the mag- nificent dinner. Mr. Dana Dougherty, athletic director at Cony High School, talked to us on basketball and sportsmanship. Then Mr. Merrill awarded the medals for the most essential peo- ple of last year's teams, also certincates to those who earned basketball letters and he announced the captains for next year's teams. These were chosen by the players. After this we had two movies on sports and following we enjoyed a dance. - The banquet was very successful. therefore, we hope to make it an annual affair. - P. M.
