Brockport 31 Total 532 595 After getting off to a had start this year the Attica basketball team finished very strong to sweep everything before them and ascend to the sectional finals at Rochester. Thirty-fire THE TORCH Attica had won but one game before the New War and league games rolled around. Based on past records, Attica was slated for the cellar position in the Wyoming County League. The squad, however, after defeating Perry by a one point margin in the first league contest, went on to win, with one exception, every other league tilt. After the league season was over Attica went on to defeat Castile and thus gained the Wyoming County Championship. Then, too, they defeated Medina, the Genesee-Orleans County champions, and also Geneseo by whom they had been defeated twice earlier in the season. These victories sent the Atticans to Rochester. The two Rochester games, however, proved too much for the quintet. Attica had used up all of its vitality in a strenuous 19-game schedule. Coach Wratten and his fighting team deserve all the credit in the world for coining from behind and nosing into the Rochester finals. Joe Conway and Joe Werner set the scoring pace. They each scored over 150 points in the 19-game season. Capt. Rifenburg and Woody Clark bore the brunt of the defense and had a great bearing on all our victories. The other members of the squad who did their share toward the making of a great team were Mulner, Sonrieker, Whitney, Blake, Kriger, and Holburn. “Woody” Clark is the captain-elect of the 1938-1939 season. Boys’ Intramural Basketball This year’s intramural basketball conipaign was as interesting a one as has been witnessed in a long time. The team under the leadership of Clint Gay took first place with a perfect season. Earl Werner’s team was a close second with but one blemish on its record. Boys’ Interclass Basketball The Juniors easily won the interclass laurels by defeating the two lower classes and also the much favored Seniors. Badminton Robert Schreiber won the seventh, eighth, and freshmen elimination tournament in which twenty-six boys participated. Marty Mulner won the Soph, Junior, and Senior tournaments as he defeated Kriger in the final round of play. Thirty-one boys took part in this elimination tilt. Soccer Ball The seventh, eighth, and freshmen soccer hall league was comprised of four teams of seven men each. Bob Hinkley, lanky eighth grader, captained the winning team. The high school soccer league was won in a romp by Walsh’s team with five games for a perfect average. I Ms nearest rival. Werner, won but three games while losing two.

Warsaw was the only team able to conquer Attica twice while Attica in turn got her retaliation by victimizing Perry in both tilts. Arcade and Attica divided the honors evenly.

Two of the scores being: Attica 2 Warsaw 1; Attica 4 Warsaw 2. In the county playoffs Mulner was defeated by VanArsdale of t’as-tile in a hotly contested match that was finished in the dark. Blake was defeated in tin1 first round. Barone and Whitney won the county doubles. By virtue of this win Barone and Whitney went to the sectional playoffs at Rochester where they were defeated by Bath. The members of the team in the order that they are seeded are; Mulner, Whitney (Captain), Barone, Blake. Battone and Watson. Thirty-seven THE TORCH Front How. Left to Right—Coach Schoepflin. Walsh.

Track The 1937 track team did not retain the County Championship but they gave of their best and what more could one ask. There were four dual and one county meets last year. The two dual meets made up of county teams and the county meet were lost by five points or less. The other two meets with outside schools, were lost by rather overwhelming odds. Charles Cannon was by far the most outstanding track man of the year. Charlie was a sprint man and ran the hundred and the two hundred-twenty in nearly every track meet in which he was entered. He personally accounted for thirty-one points in the five meets. Aside from these five meets, Cannon participated in both The Alfred and the Rochester meets. He was second in the hundred yard dash at Alfred. At Rochester where they run beats he advanced to the finals in both the hundred and the two-twenty but he failed to place. It is our opinion that he could have won either one of these if he had not attempted the other. Coach Merle Sclioepflin is to be congratulated on the fine work that be is doing in the interest of the track team. During his reign much needed equipment has been bought, material but—there still is no track. The results of the meets were: Attica 45 Warsaw 50 Attica 33 LeRoy 02 Attica 16 Batavia 79 Attica 47 LeRoy 48 Attica 37, Perry 39Y , Warsaw 411 -2 Attica now has equipment and Thirty-eight THE TORCH The Sporting Alphabet of ’38 A is for Athletes of Attica High.

As a result a club called, “The Home Economics Club” was created with a membership of twelve girls. The club had many meetings which were held at homes of various members. The activities of the club were terminated on June 2nd at which time tin members attended an out-of-town dinner party. The members of the club have enjoyed many benefits from it and hope that the club will be continued in future years.

Forty-seven THE TORCH Library Club The present officers of the Library Club are: President—Doris Bishop Vice-President—Dorothy Clark Secretary-Treasurer—Lee )ram Student Council Representative—Marian Hopfinger The Library Club of Attica High School which was organized four years ago is the oldest social club in the school and one of the most active. It consists of twenty-two members, and is under the direction of the librarian, Miss Coleman, who is assisted by Miss Welker. Each member of the club has been assigned one period during each week when he or sin works in the library. This has been beneficial to both the student and the librarian. It has created a genuine interest in the library and has helped to make it an important center of the school. But work is only a part of it. Each month a social meeting is enjoyed by the members of the club. Occasionally the club gives a private dance or a skating party. These are financed by money earned in various ways. Each fall new members are taken into the club and this very fact keeps the club active and vital. The Dramatics Club OFFICERS President—Maurice Walsh Vice-President—Evelyn Healy Secretary and Treasurer—Clifford Bishop Student Council Representative—Mary Jane Bennion The Dramatics Club, a group of thirty-three students, was organized last fall under the supervision of Mr. McMurray. The club staged two one-act plays, “The Valiant” and “Bread”. The major production of the year was Ibsen’s three-act drama, “A Doll’s House.” The members were instructed not only in acting but also in such phases of dramatics as make-up and scenery.

Little Maurice sits on Mama’s knee. He is saying, “Mama, did you ever go to school?” “Yes, darling, 1 did.” “Well, why don’t you tell me about it?” “Very well. Junior, 1 will.” “Once upon a time, back in September 1934 a group of bashful, self-conscious children trooped into the stately halls of Attica High School. In October of that year. Junior, they elected their class officers. George Ernst was President; Ross Gramm, Vice-president; Clifford Wagner, Secretary; Erma Knausdorf, Treasurer; and Jean Slimier, Class Representative. In September, 1935 the majority of those Freshmen came back to school as Sophomores. 1 remember fhat very well. You know one could detect traces of a little more self-confidence in them but they still stood in awe of the Principal, Mr. Schoepflin. That year as class officers they elected Maurice Walsh, President; Rita Schum, Vice-president; Evelyn Healy, Secretary; Claude Clark, Treasurer; and Marian Hopfinger, Class Representative. The following autumn practically the same group returned to school as Juniors. Then began one of the big years in high school for them. In October they again elected class officers. Earl Rifenburg, President; Jean Shreder, Vice-president; Marion Schreiber, Secretary; Maurice Walsh, Treasurer; and Patricia Maley, Class Representative. In March they held the Junior Prom with music furnished by Lee Baker and his “California Nighthawks”. Next came the Junior play “The Bishop Misbehaves”. Then we find the Juniors giving the Seniors their only substantial meal of the year at the Junior-Senior Banquet in June. Then, my boy, they came back to school in September of 1937. After electing Rollin Sattler, President; George Ernst, Vice-president; Faye Conway, Secretary; Erma Knausdorf, Treasurer; and Evelyn Healy, Class Representative, they began their big year by giving as the class play in November George Kelly’s “The Show-Off”. Later on in December they gave the Senior Ball with music by “Ted Todd and his Collegians”. In March of 1938 we find them taking first prize at “Stunt night”. Then like the ambitious children they were, they put out a year book before graduating. “Now, Junior, hurry to bed. To-morrow is another school day for you.” Fifty-jour THE TORCH Junior Statistics Impossibilities: Mary Jane Bennion without Russell. James Conway without his pipe. Esther Healy without Rita MeKernan.
