THE BACONIAN THE YEAR'S REVIEW Determined to make this year the best of all. the Senior class settled right down to work. For the purpose of getting acquainted, the customary Welcome Social was conducted by the Seniors in the new Park Hall. Following this came the most import- ant event of the year—the completion and opening of Day Hall, given to Bacon Academy by Mr. Edward Day. The first assembly held in Day Hall was conducted by Principal Goodrich. The Senior Class was given the first opportunity of presenting a short play in the new hall. The play was entitled. “Classmates, or a Brother at Large.” The characters were:—Oscar Horwitz, Gladys Kalmanowitz. “Sam” Strick, Frances Hatt, “Sam” Jaffe, “Sam” Maiofes. Vivian Cohen, Peter Hominick and “Sam” Horwitz. Then the fire squad was organized; Fred Kopp is the captain, and Hyman Schwartz is the Junior chosen on the squad who will automatically become captain in his Senior year. The members of the Fire Squad are “Sam” Horwitz, Peter Hominick. O. Horwitz. J. Shailor, John Chemyrin- sky, D. Horwitz, “Sam” Jaffe, “Sam” Strick “Sam” Maiofes. An assembly to be held every Friday was decided upon and all the clubs were re- organized with the exception of the Glee Club. Each organization is held responsible for a weekly assembly program. Miss Tiffany’s group of Home Economics girls gave the first entertainment. Then Miss Donovan’s French Club presented a play entitled, “The Cure-All;” later this same club presented a dramatization of “Colomba.” Miss Condren’s English I classes dramatized scenes from Ivanhoe” and Treasure Island.” Mr. Howells group of Science Club members gave an entertainment; also the orchestra once more organized in the form of a jazz band, under Mr. Goodrich, played many selec- tions. The idea of having each club in class present a program has worked out well, and almost every pupil in school has taken part in at least one assembly in Day Hall. A dancing class held every Thursday afternoon was started. Many students who knew nothing about dancing were instructed by Mr. Goodrich and were successful in learning how to dance. Also, pupils who know how to dance helped the beginners. Boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were organized by Coach-Principal Goodrich and Miss Donovan. Games were played with several out-of-town teams with a very successful season. “Sam” Berman was chosen assistant manager on the resignation of John Zenowitz, and “Joe” Busel is manager. The girls were not very successful, but improved during the season. Anna Surwlll was captain and Dorothea Gersten, manager. Work on the baseball diamond was started early; many candidates were out to make the team, among whom were many Freshmen. Mr. Howell is coach. David Horwitz, manager, and Michael Busel, assistant manager. On Thursday, April 1, Don Fraser from Salem gave a chalk talk which was both interesting and humorous. Then on May 9. an athletic tournament was held. To this the eighth grade pupils were invited. A pupil from each class was chosen to represent each group. ACADEMY BACON Sixteen
