The team also was greatly handicapped by the injury which kept Conway, the captain, out for the greater part of the season. The outstanding merit of the squad was the spirit which prevailed throughout the entire season. Prospects for next year’s team are very bright. Most of the members of this year’s squad will return next year. Also, there is fine material coming up from the Junior Varsity. Thirty-three THE TORCH Boys’ Intramural Basketball There was much competition in the Boys’ Games lliis year. Two leagues were organized; one played its games at noon and the other played its games after school. The noon league, consisting of four teams, was won by Sonricker’s team. The other league, consisting of ten teams, ended in a tie. In the play-off, the Trojans, captained by W. Clark, defeated the Buckeyes to win the league. Boys’ Interclass Basketball Alter the regular season is finished, there is much interest in the selection of the Interclass basketball champion. In the opening games, the Freshmen were easily defeated by the Sophomores, and the Juniors defeated the Seniors in a very close game. In the final game the Sophomores surprised everyone by defeating the Juniors. Girls’ Intramural Basketball The Girls also had a very close contest during their Intramural games. The league ended in a tie between the Cavaliers, captained by Janet Suess and the Cyclones, captained by Marian Scbreiber. The Cavaliers won a play-off game. Tennis 3936 saw the second season of Attica’s new sport, tennis. The lettermen were Capt. M. Wortzman, A. Barone, L. Whitney, and M. Mulner. The season may well be called a successful one. The team was coached by Mr. Fox. The results of matches played: Attica 4 Le Boy 0 Attica 2 Batavia 3 Attica 3 Batavia 2 Attica 3 Warsaw 2 In tin county matches the doubles team of Mulner and Whitney advanced to the finals where they were defeated. Football Th( 1936 football season was very poor. There were few candidates tor the team at the beginning of the year and although the team had a fighting spirit, it was unable to get under way. Several players were injured also, and this further reduced the squad. Therefore, after three games, football was discontinued in Attica High School. The captain of the team was Lydell Gay.

Dick Kell accomplished the outstanding feat of the season by pitching a no hit-no run game in 1h(� first game of the season against Perry. Although Attica lost the next four games, the last three were won. The baseball team really showed great progress under the capable guidance of Coach Wratten.

The plot concerns young Bill McAllister who lias as a rival for Hazel Robinson’s affections, Hollo Jenkins. Kollo is at first engaged to Hazel, but in a short while Bill not only talks Hollo out of the engagement but marries Hazel. Financial difficulties soon beset the young couple. Mr. McAllister, however, persuades his uncle to let him have a lucrative position in the latter’s coal yard. All of the character portrayals were excellent. Very ably, Elaine Spencer played the part of Mrs. Robinson as an easy going, lenient, patient, sympathetic, loving mother not at all uncommon in real life. Frederick Houseknecht filled the role of Pa Robinson in a manner that couldn’t be better. Pa was the typical, sharp, grouchy husband, always arguing over something important or unimportant. Y'et, for all his apparent irritability, his inner-self was strongly tempered with love for his wife and daughter. The part of the Robinsons’ gossiping and complaining friend, Mrs. Jennie Baldwin, was taken in a praiseworthy, realistic manner by Leonora Tripp. Alice Slack was the “ideal type” for Hazel Robinson, daughter of Ma and Pa. This pretty young lady was demure, respectful to her parents, considerate of others, and truly plucky. Really good as Matt McAllister, was Pierre F. Smith. Matt was the political coal dealer who, because of his position and local importance, took an unpleasant, belligerent, bossy attitude toward everyone. Bill McAllister, his nephew, was masterfully played by Robert Ulmer. Bill was a chap who always had a cheery greeting and flattering remark to give to everyone. His glib tongue was his main asset. He was apparently a carefree fellow, who afterwards showed his real worth by being a devoted husband to Hazel. Lester Schultz convincingly interpreted the character of Kollo Jenkins, the self-centered industrious suitor of Hazel. Truly, the players displayed themselves as rightfully being called actors. The presentation which was very well appreciated as shown by the large audience’s reception, not only owed its success to the actors but to the able directors, Miss Constance Coleman and Mr. Robert L. MacMurray. The “behind the scenes” people also deserve mention for their efficient disposal of various duties, notable among which has been the actual making of new scenery under the competent guidance of Mr. MacMurray. All in all, it can be said that a new high in Senior dramatic entertainment has been attained. Forty-fire THE TORCH Library Club OFFICERS President—Evelyn 11 ealy Secretary—Adelaide Suedmeyer Treasurer—Paul Timm The Library Club of Attica High School was founded three years ago and has, since that time, developed into one of the strongest organizations in the school—valuable to its members and to the library. It has twenty-two members and is under the direction of Miss Coleman, the librarian, assisted by Miss Welker. The purpose of the club is threefold. Tt is an organization of service. Each member works in the library one period a week. Through the efforts of the club the library has increased its usefulness in the school. The second purpose of the club is to contribute to the feeling which is growing that the library belongs to the students, and that they have certain responsibilities in making it a real center. Last but not least, the club has a social life all its own. The members meet once a month for a social evening. Once or twice a year the club gives a private dance for members and their friends. The fact that most of the members who helped to start the club are still cooperating to improve it shows that the club lias enjoyed real success. Senior Ball On the twenty-eighth of December, the “Big Event” for the Seniors took place. The decorations which consisted of snow scenes were in charge of Ada Kirby. Lee Baker and his California Nighthawks furnished the music. Forty-six THE TORCH From Row: Left to ltifilit—Conway. Mulner, Meisner. Housekne lit. Miss Smitli. Maley, Geise, Slack, George.

Forty-seven THE TORCH Assemblies Assemblies for the year 1936-37 were varied, consisting of special programs, several musical assemblies, motion pictures and amateur productions. One of the most outstanding assemblies of the year was the marionette show given by the WPA Theater Project which depicted the origin of the National Anthems of several countries. Another outstanding program was given by a group of Indians from the Akron Reservation. They told of their customs, their ceremonies, and their beliefs. Students and teachers were selected from the audience and were made Honorary Members of the tribe in a ceremonial fashion. Rollin E. Flower, a representative of the Courier-Express, gave an interesting talk and showed many colored slides on the “Pony Express”. A member of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce gave a very interesting talk on “Safety” in which he described some narrow escapes which he had seen. “Healthy”, the Milk Clown, entertained us in a very humorous way, yet brought out many very good health points to be remembered. Among the many interesting assemblies put on by the different school departments were a “Tumbling Program” by the Boys’ Athletic Department under the direction of Mr. Wratten, many musical assemblies under the leadership of Miss Pollock, a Vox Pop Program by the “Scribbler”, a “So You Want To Act” program by the Juniors who were trying out for the Junior Play, and several interesting plays. Movies, both educational and entertaining, were supplied by the teachers and were enjoyed by the entire student body.
