Music was enjoyed thru- out the evening and refresh- ments were served. On Wednesday evening, January 12, 1910, the Senior class enjoyed a sleigh ride to Geneva, where an oyster supper was served. A good time was reported by all. The second class party of the Senior class was held on December 3, 1909, at the home of Mary Brawley, who was assisted by Ruth Metcalf and Alice Whitman. A large per cent, of the class was present. The evening was spent in games and delightful refreshments were served. The guests departed on the last car. On December 17, 1909, the Senior class gave a Christmas party in Haskell’s hall which was well attended. Redmond’s orchestra furnished the music and the pleasure continued until a late hour. Many boys took advantage of the mistletoe, hanging in the middle of the hall. This party was the greatest success of the season. On Wednesday evening, December 29, 1909, the Alumni of A. H. S. held a dance in Morrison’s hall, for all the friends of the High School. At this dance twelve colleges were represented and everyone enjoyed meeting former classmates.

The Dart Left Tackle, Cook, TO. Joe played a mighty good game at tackle this year. He was right there when it came to carrying the ball and it was nearly impossible for the opponents to buck thru him. Left Guard, Rice, T3. “ Pat ” played first class ball and broke up many plays before they were started. His best game of the year was at Rayen. Center, Norton, T2. This is the first year that “ Cy ” has played on the team but he held down his position like a veteran. His passes were sure and he also was good at covering fumbles and punts. Right Guard, Kochenderfer, TO. “ Koch ” played good ball at both, halfback and guard, He was taken out of the backfield only because they needed him more on the line. Right End, Whalen TO. “Friction ” played a steady game at end, altho one of the smallest men on the team. Very few gains were made around right end. Quarterback, Barker, ’ll; Davern, T3. Barker played well at quarterback the first part of the season and then “ Shrimp ” took the team. He made many fine tackles and was especially good at running back punts. Right Half, McNutt, ’ll. “ Red ” played a good game for his first year. He was especially good on outside tackle bucks. Full Back, Blakeslee, ’ll. “ Pa ” played a steady game in the back- field this season. He was light for a fullback, but made up in speed and could be depended upon to buck anywhere from three to ten yards. The High School is fortunate in having a man like Mr. Webb to coach them. He believes in the new style of play and coached the fellows in it. Rayen said that Ashtabula played modern football better than any other team that met them this year. Our trick plays kept them guessing. Fashion Note Pants will be worn longer this spring. There will be little change in the pockets.—Ex. THE GLOBE The Home of Hart, Schaffner Marx’s Good Clothes 14
