Y., JUNE, 1934 No. 1 ORIGIN OF THE SCHOOL SONG Back in the days when there were only five teachers at B. H. S., around l900, Mrs. Douglass, who then taught English, offered a prize to the student in her classes who would write the best school song. Before the song could be written, the school colors and the tune had to be decided upong blue and white were chosen as our representative colors and the tune selected was The Orange and Black. After hard work on the part of the students, and careful consideration on the part of Mrs. Douglass, Leslie Cory- ell's words were chosen: and so today we have our Blue and White. A lot of important things happened back in the days when B. H. S. was small. SHOUTS AND MURMURS The Buffalo Evening News lost two humorists when Miss Brown and Mr. Murbach resigned from the staff a few years ago. Mr. Murbach was a circulation sales- man while Miss Brown did every- thing from licking stamps to writing letters to ladies whose evening papers were delivered on the lilac bushes instead of on the front porches. Mrs. Macintosh completed her work and received her M. A. de- gree at the University of Michigan last summer. During the summer of her course Mrs. Macintosh directed and took part in several plays. She especially enjoyed her part in O'Neil's Beyond the' Horizon. Mr. Albright was head master of the prep school at Albright Col- lege for five years, before coming to Batavia to teach When Miss McLouth went to college, she specialized in langu- ages-and now she teaches mathe- SPARE MOMENTS Miss Hale enjoys reading mod- ern poetry. Miss Hunn has horticulture as her hobby. Miss Loomis is interested in in- terior decoration. Miss Olmsted enjoys operas, concerts and all other musical events. She's a good music critic. Miss Kinnear claims rock gard- ening as her hobby. She has a tiny one in Zll. Miss Appleby divides her spare time between bridge and bowling. She's a champion at both, Mr. Novotny's avocation is girls -especially his baby daughter, Nancy. Miss Thompson's hobby is lit- erature, particularly contemporary literature. Mr. Keegan has 'a motor boat which takes up a good deal of his time in the summer. Miss Cramer's hobby is dupli- cate contract bridge. Miss Gehring's interests are hooked rugs and rock gardening, Miss Haitz plays bridge at the Holland Club. iOur teachers seem to go for bridgei. She also keeps her eye on her nephew Neil. Mr. Doll's acting ability is well known. His hobby consists of an active participation in dramatics. Miss Peterson has a variety of hobbies. She likes Scotty plaques, skiing, nice hotels, and budget planning. matics, Each year she attends summer school at Harvard Univer- sity. Miss Hurst worked in the busi- ness office of the Niagara-Hudson Company previous to teaching. Miss McGregor may be Scotch, but she breaks the rule when it comes to popularity.

HE fall of i933 brought forth many candidates for the officers of the Cieneral Or ' ganization. The names of Robert Putnam Robert Gehring and Carmen Falcone were presented for Presi- dency and Ruth Ryan, Christine Davis and Lois Carr were nominated for Vice-Presidency. As a result of the elections Robert Cehring and Lois Carr were the successful candidates. Our first meeting was called by President Cehring on October 6 h. A ' ' A ' t t this time the council had the opportunity to get under way The first important business was to amend the Constitution. A I - i Fi 'ff-u-.-.-..'..-.-..-,t..- ...,..,.. ht V, V., V i , 4 t . ,..5-eu.. l 'Qc 'W' 5 7 . ,,..4........-....... -' amendment was made that the number of cheer-leaders for the school year should b chosen according to the number trying out and no d finite limit should be set. Early in the first semester the council inaugurated a new sys- tem of patroling tne halls and cloak rooms during the school periods. Brenton Simmons was appointed chairman of the Patrol Squad and with the assistance of both teachers and pupils the system has work- ed effectively in preventing thefts in the cloak rooms and keeping order in the halls We have had very little trouble with violations of our new rules and feel quite proud of their success. The General Organization presented letters to the varsity football basketball and track men this year and in addition, a letter symbol was given to the members of teams who did not make the varsity teams Miss Loomis and the classes of the Home Economics Department gave their services in making these symbols. Mr. lvlinor also offered his services in cutting the felt for the symbols, for which we are grateful Although we have had many activity period assemblies this year for the purpose of explaining our new patrol system and seek- ing the help of the school on many matters, our only regular assembly took place early in the year. At this time the new officers and councilmen were installed and introduced to the pupils. Mr. l-luff presented the gavel to Robert Cehring, the new President, who spoke briefly Miss C-ehring presented the constitution of the G. O. to the Vice President Lois Carr who also spoke. lvlr. Randall delivered the important talk of the assembly, speaking upon the need of student cooperation in running a successful school. This was the second as- sembly of the inauguration type which originated last year. son tickets successfully again this year. This method enables the students to see all the games at much reduced rates. With Carm Falcone as chairman of the Smoking Council, we have had very little trouble this year. The council has operated especially smoothly and may well be commended for its fine work. lmpresslng the students with the necessity of attention to this prob- lem is no easy task but they have accomplished it quietly and well. Another committee which has done a large amount of work, devoid of praise or recognition, is the Point System Committee. They keep track of the points which every student earns by extra cirricu- lar activities and totals them at the end of the year in order to dis- cover the Seniors who are deserving of activity awards. Donald Rankin has been the chairman of this committee and has done his work well With the fine cooperation of all the committees, the pupils and the faculty the council has had a fine administration, We sincerely wish that the future G. O. s may have as able a presi- dent as ours and many successful years. .C. -The G.

The outstanding feature of these vehicles is the GEHRING. After a long ride we reach an enormous castle built by their MASON, who even now is fixing the PUTTY on the windows, We are surrounded by a crowd of former classmates and soon the KING appears in the BAUER of the CHAPPLE and KNOX on the railing. When the crowd becomes silent he greets us enthusiasti- cally. The people around us CLAPP their approval, Then we are presented with the KEYES to the castle and after a short tour of it we are shown to our rooms, There, we especially notice the luxur- ious SIMMONS beds and MORRIS chairs. Soon, we are called to dinner by two PAGES and such a dinner. There are HUBBARD squash, a PECK of MURPHY'S, HEINTZ food prod- ucts, FRANK furters and PARKER house rolls, BAKER'S COCCO and PASTORized milk, REISS, HUNNY, hot CROSS buns, ice cream CONE's and BALDWIN apples. The liquid refreshments are served by a competent YOUNG BREWER, During the meal music is sup plied by a HARPER and for those who are more iazzically inclined by a GRUNER comparable to Bing Crosby. The large fire is tended by a couple of COONS who DART here and there, and throw WOOD and COLE on the fire in abundance. lf at any time they receive BURNS, an able DOCTOR is always near at hand. We have a MERRY time at the banquet and as a fitting conclusion practical favors are given, INGRAHAM'S shaving cream for the men, SHEER silk stock ings for the women. After the feast we are left to a-MUHS our selves. We decide to take a PUNDT out on the moonlit WATERS and as we sail along, we catch glimpses of some beautiful HAWKS who, strangely enough, sing sweet music. Further on, we see the green eyes of a THOM cat gleaming in the dark. Later we see the SPIERS of a distant TEMPLE shine in the moon light. Our ride over, we return to the island and after cleaning our teeth with PHILLIPS Dental lvlagnesia we retire. The next morning on the advice of a rather BLANK looking maid who is doin' the DUS TIN we decide we WILL G'0VER to a TAYLER to have our clothes pressed, On returning to the castle we find that VILE we have been absent, the captain of our ship has WIARD that he will stop for us this morning. lt is NOTT without a great deal of regret that we prepare to leave the island and when we do so we promise ourselves that we will visit them again The I934 BATAVIAN F-www XTTT. T-WTI! Q W U. . by my Ten Years Ago HIS building was completed and first used ten years ago and the present seniors were in second grade. The senior play Seventeen was written by Booth Tarking- ton as was this years play Clarence. lt was the first time a senior play had been presented at the high school. Before that the plays had been presented at the Dellinger Theatre. As a result Seventeen was the greatest financial success a senior class had realized up to that time Miss Fowler and Miss Hunn directed the play. Public speaking courses were introduced in B. H. S. Mr Cole was added to the faculty. Such teachers as Miss Hill, Miss MacGregor, and Miss Ward were only high school students themselves. john Shlax fthat is his middle namel Randall was athletic coach here A whole page of the l924 annual was wasted by giving it to the P C s tof all peoplell There were only five post graduates t at year There were only 4l teachers as compared to 71 now. Nine- teen of the 41 are still here A tennis team was first organized in B. H. S. There were only 20 orchestra members. Now we have 53. The music department was quite weak then. Organization of the Student-Faculty Council took place. From this group our present G O came. There was no Girls' Service League. tWe wonder how they got along without one9l There were 93 members of the l924 graduating class. This year there are about l9O The first senior ball was held at B. H. S. Previously the dances had been held at the Hotel Richmond or the Odd Fellows Hall For the first time an abundancy of decorations were put up. We hope that the class of l944 will be able to turn back ten years and find as many achievements in the records of our class as we have found in those of l924, The 1934 BATAVIAN The 1934 BATAVIAN ' .. . . 56...

As we look back over the five years, what pleasant memories we have. As seventh graders our lights shone very dim among the bright lights of the upper classmen, but we had a grand year-every- thing new and so on. We looked forward to the coming year when we would be seniors in lunior High. But-oh, mel Mr. Weber decided that the ninth grade should be included in junior High so another year passed before we were at the helm. Our eighth grade circus was loads of fun-everyone came dressed like different kinds of animals, clowns or what have you. We marched around the social space and lower floor, then down ina to the gym where we played games and ate ice cream and suckers. So passed our second year. 1930-l93l and we were Freshmen. Rightly named, l guess, but we were up and coming too, We held our election for the lun- ior Organization officers and elected johnny Smith president and Maw Perry vice president. That year Mrs. Macintosh suggested we put on a Junior High School Play. We did and it was no amateur production believe you me, The proceeds were turned over to the General Organization to be put towards the new curtain which we now have for the stage. The play was Pygmaliam and Galatiaf' Howard Chapman and May McBride had the leading parts and will you ever forget Thelma Fuller pulling Pitt Willand across the stage by his ear? The play was such a success and so well done that a junior High Dramatics Club was organized. We had a party in March and there was a real orchestra for dancing! And as something to The 1934 BATAVIAN The 1934 BATAVIAN remember us by, we presented the school with a picture of the Vik ing ship which now hangs on the first floor. The artist was john Menachi one of the members of junior High Sophomores-and in Senior High! joe Brewer was our class president and Mary Perry vice president Again we were overshadowed by our older brothers and sisters -but not for long! We had a successful sophomore banquet and by this time most of us knew how to dance and felt much more at home on the dance floor than the year before at the Freshman party. This is our junior year and just at the present time we're working on the decorations for our Prom-it's just a week away- April second to be exact. The scheme is Alice in Wonderland, quite in tune with the times don't you think? All the characters are portrayed. Alice and Humpty Dumptyg the Mock Turtle and the Card Meng the Queen of Hearts and the Red and the White Queensg and, last but not least, the Caterpillar on his mushroom. May Mc- Bride is chairman of the Decoration Committee and she has done a fine job. ln September we elected Carl Rittersback president and Mary Perry vice president. The junior Banquet was in December-the best banquet ever-we had a grand crowd and what fun! Alice Martin was toastmistress and there was dancing afterwards. This year we were well represented in the various activities too. Beryl Salsbery, jack Coons, and Douglass Harvey were in the Senior Play. Bob Smith, Paul Davis and Beryl all have places in first octet. Then, too, johnny Minor, Carl Rittersback, Bus Page, and johnny McChan were on the varsity basketball team. They also played football-good football land basketballl and goodness knows what the team would have done without juddy and Dick McWain to hold that line and carry the ball. Beryl Salsbery and Eddie Lown took the tennis championships from the haughty seniors, We're one more year in dear old B. H. S., juniors--Seniors almost, by the time we receive our Batavian so let's make it a never-to-be-forgotten one shall we? Let's go! Junior Class UR junior Class started off the new school year with a bang, showing that pep and zeal that characterized them all through their Freshman and Sophomore years and gained re- nown for them long before they had tasted of the glories of upper class men. Realizing the importance of this new found position, we assumed befitting dignities and settled down to the task of elect- ing officers to guide us safely and skillfully through a year of hard work and success. A grand meeting of the class was held and the forth-coming election discussed. immediate action was the result and petitions for candidates for the various offices were circulated in the junior rooms. Great excitement reigned in Zll the morning of September the l5th. Polls were opened at eight-thirty in the morning and closed at four-forty-five. Every junior wanted to do his part in choosing the right candidate for office, The following morning it was announced that the junior ship of state would leave port under the capable management of: Carl Rittersback-President Mary Perry-Vice Psesident Louise Prugh-Secretary Max Mason-Treasurer Miss Kinnear, Mr. Huff-Advisers We juniors have found our junior year one of the most event- ful and promising ever yet experienced by us. We have found in Miss Kinnear not only a faithful and loyal advisor but a true and dear friend. We know that the present sophomore class is looking forward to junior year with as much anticipation as we did. We hope they may find theirs as we found ours, and leave it with as much regret as we do. We are to take on a great responsibility next year, that of being the senior class of B. H. S. May 'we carry the Cold and Black high on to success. B, M. S. N.

Although the obiect of the society is to promote scholarship this quality alone is not sufficient to admit a student One must have proved himself a good leader, and through his school years have shown a strong character and a Wmingness to serve in every way possible. Twice each year, near the beginning of each semester an assembly is held for the purpose of initiating the newly elected members into the society, with our worthy sponsor Dr Myrta Hunn conducting the meeting. Since our Ciasseg have grown so large in number and since the people are chosen from the third of the Senior Class with the highest scholar- 5h,p each member feels proud of the high honor which has been be- stowed upon him Thus believing in knowledge, character, ser- purpose of the National Honor Society. N. H. P. vice, and leadership, he, will do his best to fulfill the spirit and 'i The l934 BATAVIAN The 1934 BATAVIAN History Club HE purpose of the History Club is to further our knowledge in current events. Material for discussion is furnished by national and international topics. With the assistance of the history teachers, the students demonstrate how dry newspaper articles can be turned into popular discussion. Participation is unlimited and all members are encouraged in promoting the subject under debate. To partake actively in this club, the members must be well acquainted with affairs of government and politics. ln addition to their regular meetings, the History Club spon- sored an assembly commemorating Abraham Lincoln's birthdayt Although the club is comparatively young, a large member- ship evidences both interest and farsightedness on the part of his- tory students. Gertrude Ebling, Secretary Mathematics Club President Edward Lown Vice President lack Pierce Secretary and Treasurer William Nott Librarian Everett Radley The Batavia High School Mathematics Club was organized to bring together those students of the school who were interested in this field as a hobby. The first meeting was attended by twenty boys, the girls not responding as well as we had wished. These members ranged from the ninth to twelfth year and showed a real interest throughout the club's activities. Few of these people participate in other extra cur- ricular activities of the school so that this organization has filled a specific need. We have enjoyed the mathematics puzzle problems and other trick problems on which we have worked Mr Albri ht and M C f- . . g r. o ran have taught us various valuable steps about the analysis of prob- lems and the working with the right triangle. We have enjoyed the speakers and the historical background of this field of mathematics. The members protitted by its activity and are confident that it will be kept alive in the future years. Mr, Albright, the head of the mathematics department, was the founder fth lb ' o e cu assisted by Mr, Cofran another member of the faculty, W. N.

MOOTHLY and simply presented and furnishing capital enter: tainment 'Clarence a four-act comedy by Booth Tarkington, was given at the Batavia High School Auditorium. ' Parts were exceptionally well taken and reflect great credit on Miss Pauline Gehring who directed the young actors and actresses. The cast was exceptional in that it so nearly approached per- fection. Walter McRoberts as Clarence gave an excellent inter- pretation of this role throughout the play. His position was an uncommon one as he could type tune the piano, mend the bathroom plumbing and play the saxophone. Harriet Griswold was a typical 'Miss Violet Pinney and she showed genuine acting ability. William Bird and Beryl Salsbery as Bobby and Cora Wheeler practically walked away with the play in certain parts and both gave splendid interpretations of their humorous roles. Mary Virginia Chapple as the stepmother did excellent work and played her part with great ease. Mr. Wheeler was well played by Herb- ert lngraham, lack Coons as Hubert Stem, entered splendidly into his part. Douglass Harvey and Mary Oderkirk as domestics added to the entertainment of the play. Mrs, Martyn, taken by Marjorie Coons also played her part well. 'Clarence' excels in humor in characterization and in wise and amused observation of American life. lt is one of the out- standing features of Tarkingtons career and is unusual in that it combines all in one dramatic interest, comedy and mystery.

The pupils expressed so much interest in dramatics this year that it was necessary to amend the constitution and extend membership from forty to fifty members The climax of the club's work is the presentation of an even ing program of three one-act plays. This year the public program was given October 27th. One, Highheart, a tragedy, centered about a Southern spy, caught with treasonable papers belonging to a Northern officer. He went to his death to protect the Northerner, who was the father of the girl he loved. The audience thoroughly enjoyed Breakfast, an entertaining comedy of the trouble of a father trying to raise his family according to book rules. The Marriage of Pierrot was something new and unique - a musical fantasy. The whole school looks forward to Dramatics Club assemblies The highlight this year was a program given by Mr. Zelner, a dram atic reader and impersonator who provided an exceedingly interesting assembly. Another assembly featured the repetition of Breakfast dramatic readings and skits presented by club talent Money was taken from the treasury towards the purchase of stage furniture-a benefit for the whole school A Sec -Q M. .

Meetings are held every other Wednesday in the afternoon. Our meetings consist of varied programs We have this year in hearing Attorney ludd, who is a membe of Education, Miss Thompson, Mrs. Douglass, and Mr. Owen, all of whom are members of the High School faculty. Other programs have been developed by club members themselves. The Commerce Club is becoming better known here at school for various things which we are doing For instance, at Thanks- giving time the members furnished three baskets which were given to needy families in Batavia, They presented their first assembly too. This consisted of a commercial play and a speaker. We hope that the future members will carry on this work and help make the Club a bigger success.

Nancy Page in charge of ushering, Imogene Bauer, in charge of serving, and Laura Wilkie, in charge of candy sales deserve a great deal of credit for the success of the League. We began our busy year of service at the football games working in the stand, selling ice cream, pop, candy and hot dogs The stand realized over forty dollars for the General Organization At the basketball games the League sold ice cream and candy to the excited crowds, keeping them sweet tempered and pacified during crucial periods of the game. Besides the sales at games, the League held their regular Thursday sales of candy in the lobby and at the tea dances. The League sponsored two dances this year. Harriet C-ris wold was chairman of the first dance which was held November 2nd Mabel Smith took charge of the second dance held December 29th. The League girls enjoy giving these dances as they know they offer splendid fun for the student body. The girls who are to leave the league will look back on this year as a pleasant chapter in their life in B, H.

To begin the year the members had the priv ilege of presenting to the student body a famous painting of loan of Arc by Rossmann. The presentation was made in assembly by our president, Ruth Clapp. One of the most interesting projects was the cutting of block prints from which Christmas cards were made and these with their accompanying envelopes were made and sold by the individual mem bers. ln addition to this a Christmas sale was sponsored at which time articles made by the club were sold, each girl being responsible for making at least one article. The proceeds from the candy sales held each Tuesday after school have been used in purchasing materials for redecorating the office of our adviser, Miss Waldorf. It has been decided to present the Dean of Girls' office with a painting later in the year. We the members of the Art Club of l933-34 hope to leave an enviable record for our successors to strive to equal, and what ever success we have accomplished we feel is due to the assistance of our competent adviser, Miss Waldorf.

The Girls' Service League cooperate with the club by giving their services as waitresses lBy the way, we still know how to get a second dessert, much to the distress of the girlsi. At Christmas time the club made up Christmas baskets of food which were given to needy families. ln january the Western New York Older Boys' Conference was held at Fredonia. The Batavia Hi-Y group was well represented at this conference. The boys who attended this conference stored up a wealth of knowledge as well as having a grand time. February 9th the club sponsored a dance which was held in the l-li-Y rooms. The dance was a social and financial success. This year the club was represented on the local basketball courts by a very capable group of boys. The main game of the sea- son. was defeating the Le Roy Freshmen in the preliminary to the main game.

This club was organized in l926 for the purpose of promoting better sportsmanship in athletics and rendering any possible service to the school. Up to this year it had never taken any steps toward definitely serving the school. Therefore, the B lVlen's Club of '34 feels iustly proud that it has set a foundation upon which the future clubs may build by performing the duties of a patrol squad to insure order at the following school events this year: Sophomore Banquet, Boys' Speaking Contest, C-irls' Speaking Contest, and the School Play. Also, the club sponsored several dances after basket- ball games for the purpose of raising a little money and offering to the school a means of celebrating victories the team achieved on the home court this season. ln the future the members of this club should not be satisfied with what has already been accomplished, but .they should go forward with greater iniative and cooperation in serving the school so that the club may become a better recognized and respected organization.

Musia 'LA ,VW , M ,,: a': ! -Y Our Dedication HE facts of Mr. Owen's life ought not to be written on a mere piece of paper, but on a sheet of music for almost every aspect of his career is musical. Mr. Owen was born and brought up in the border country of Northern Wales, a very picturesque part of the British lsles. He studied music in London at two prominent schools, the Cathedral Choir School and the London College of Music. Since the education- al system of England is much different from and far harder than ours in America, to be graduated from such fine schools was an accomp- lishment indeed. Later Mr. Owen studied at the ithaca Conserva- tory of Music. ln l9B Mr. Owen came to the United States. His first posi- tion was in the Dickenson Seminary in Williamsport, Pa., where his duties as a teacher were similar and as important as those he has now. In i928 he came to Batavia where he has been ever since and where ffor our sakei we hope he remains. His generosity and hard work in B. H. S. are realized and appreciated. Mr. Owen has participated in many outside musical events and is now taking an active part in musical events around town. Some of the important boards and committees he has served on are: Member of Musical Superintendents' National Conference, where he was on the program committee and led assembly singingg chair- man of music division of Western New York Teachers' Association, N. Y. S. Teachers' Associationg mem- ber of Board of Examiners of City of Buffalo, teachers' examination division, president of Community Concert Plan, director of Presby- terian Church Choir. When asked if there were anything else, he said, No, that's all l've done, except fish now and then, speaker on program of Central While all of these several activities have been going on, Mr, Owen has taken charge of our music department, managed our con- certs, brought our music department from one of the school's weak- est divisions to one of its strongest, and helped in an infinite number of other things. A 'great deal of true praise and credit is due Mr. Owen for his work in the past. W. MCR. ,,W.A . 'al 5 The 1934 BATAVIAN '- --..'

Many new members are added each September and because of this it is naturally a rather hard task to whip the group into shape, However under Mr, Owens able direction, we were in good condition for the Christmas Concert. More new members were added to the orchestra in january As the whole orchestra is too large for small occasions two smaller organizations have been formed. One the Pit Orchestra is used for school assemblies and our latest organization, The String En semble is used for some school functions I The Seniors who are leaving the orchestra this year regret doing so because of the good times they will miss in the following years under Mr. Owen's leadership.

The Band consists of fortyeerght members including students from Freshman to the Senior class Every year graduation eliminates a large part of the more experienced members This loss is replaced with younger members from Mr. Schwans instumental classses. ln schools that have a successful Senior Band, a lunior Band is often found. With this idea in mind, Mr. Schwan has organized a band in the lunior High School. ln the past the band has taken part in the junior High con- b t this year a concert was given featuring the band alone. President Cert u The program consisted of many delightful numbers including. Urbana Overature by C. F. Roberts Siraussiana Waltz by l. S, Sendy Atella Hungarian Overature by S. Karoly Tannahauser March by R.

HE welding of eight voices' into an harmonic whole is the an- nual task of our musical director, Mr. Owen This difficult feat he well accomplished this year, even though handicapped by the loss of all the old standbys The versatility of the boys' achieve- ments may be seen when we consider that they have performed cum laude selections varying from the modern Shortnin' Bread to the great Russian hymn of praise, O, Be joyful in the Lord! The spir- ited winter song, The Sleigh, and the droning negro work song, Po Ol' l.az'rus were favorites with the boys The outside appear- ances of this group included the opening dinner for the Community Chest Drive at the l-lotel Richmond, the Elks' Memorial Service, the County l-lome, and the Girls' Speaking Contest, The Octet also ex- pects to go to Perry High School this year to put on an assembly program. Much work was also done in cooporation with the Girls' Octet, Some of the numbers rendered by the sixteen were: Co Down, Moses, l-lospodi Pomiluif' and Emitte Spiritum Tuumf' To the next Octet, the Octet of '34 hands on unblemished, ge heritage of fame and achievement bequeathed it by preceeding ctets, H.

Golgrove, B Salsbury, M Smith, N Page, I Le Seur, V. Carr, C. Mason, R. Hawks, HE Girls' Octet is a group of vocalists who enjoy singing. At various times for school activities, and frequently for other pur- poses, the Octet renders musical selections. A true music ap- reciation is the result of singing and interpreting works of great D composers. Cossack Cradle Song by Gaines, Minuet by Stair, and Seraphic Song by Rubenstein were the numbers which comprised their program for the concert in December. The beauty of the latter Le Seur composition was brought out by a contralto solo by leanne The Octet has particularly enioyed The Lass with the Delicate Air by Arne, which portrays so well the style of this paramount composer. Mr. Owen has found the combination of the Boys' and Girls' Octets both pleasing and successful. The sixteen voices have the ability to produce a wider harmonic range ln the Christmas Con- cert, the mixed groups sang l-lospodi Pomiluif' from the Russian liturgy, Co Down, Moses, arranged by Noble Gain, and Virgin Slumber Song by Rubba. Emitte Spirituumu by Schuetky, and lt's Me, O Lord by Cain are being prepared for the Spring Concert. This year the Girls' Octet has sung at the Zone Meeting of h New York State Teachers' Association the Genesee School Mast- r e , ers Meetingg assisted at Mr. Owen's Music Appreciation lecture, and ' Th O tet hopes also presented a program at the Perry High School, e c to broadcast- before the close of the school year, and is looking for- ward to this opportunity. 1- C.

This year's club numbers about sixty-four members and has shown remarkable progress throughout the year. Under the unexcelled tutelage of Mr. Owen the club has mastered a wide and pleasing variety of songs. Of these, The jersey Road Maker and Adoramus Te brought forth special comment because of the excellence of their rendition at the Christmas and Spring Concerts. Not only cooperation has been given Mr. Owen by the boys but earnest endeavor has been their share in making the club a suc cess. Mr. Owen has attempted to create in each and every boy a fuller understanding of the numbers which they practice so diligently.

S. 7 6 'Games played away from home HE success of a high school football season is often interpreted in terms of sportsmanship, athletic prowess shown by the play- ers, or school spirit and enthusiasm exhibited by the spectators. Batavia High School was fortunate this year in having financial worries removed early in the season. lvlr. Keegan helped the cause immensely by setting up the i933-34 schedules. Through his work, savings were effected in such expenditures as guarantees to oppon- ents, transportation, officials, and cleaning of equipment. The work of selling adult tickets and securing guarantors to back B. H. S. in its endeavor for a financially successful football season fell upon our principal, Mr. Weber, and our old, true and tried friends, Mr. Louis Wiard and lvlr. Bill Coon. Through their work, the cooperation of the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, and the high school faculty, the task was accomplished. However, financial support without student backing and par- ticipation will not in itself determine a successful season. The re- sponsibility for securing student support at the games fell to the very able hands of Business Manager Cenar Cocco, whose success was due in a large way to his appeal to the ladies. Under his leader- ship, the students proved themselves to be behind him one hundred per cent. The cheers of the supporters led by our excellent cheer leaders seemed to turn the tide of the battle many times at the crucial moment by helping the team on to victory. There is no ques- tion, but that the student body of B. H. S. is one of the most en- thusiastic that can be found anywhere. The football squad this year was especially large, with some of the old spirit that was so prominent in years gone by. lt was a husky bunch of lads that appeared to be shaped into a fighting team by the hands that carried many a cake of ice up Cleveland stairs. The fighting machine that was developed was one worthy of wear- h Bl nd White Another year we shall look forward to see- ing t e ue a . ing a more experienced team which will make undoubtedly a better showing in games won. But, in fighting spirit, team play, and en- thusiasm, we can never beat this year's team. Coach Novotny proved to be very capable. He is to be complimented for the fine work he did this year. With the return f more veterans next season than usual the coachs work will be 0 , even more notable. Walt Kornowski came back to B. H. S. with ' ' ' h' taff was his great ability to assist Coach Novotny. The coac. ing s fortunate in receiving the services of two scouts this season, Mr. Weber and Mr. Owen. These two boys scouted Caledonia and Roch- ester. However, let it be known that the victory the following week can in no way be attributed to their efforts. A coachhwigaout ai ' ' e a field manager to do the work is lost. Consequently, t e en r Organization gave us Manager Brown who was right there when work was to be done. D Batavia High School should feel proud of the work carried on by its friends, representatives, and all others involved in making this past football season a success. .Q 'lk f x cl Q XX L , hi S ,, The 1934 BATAVIAN The 1934 BATAVIAN Baslcelsball First Row-l, Scoiris, Ci, ludd, M.

At times they showed Championship form and then again were very ordinary. Probably the outstanding merits of this squad were, first, that, they had the never say die spirit, never admitting defeat no matter what the odds were against them and always feeling that there was still a chance to win. lt was this spirit that carried them to victory in most of the games. Secondly, the entire squad were of about equal ability and substitutions could be made without weakening the team. ln fact, at times the substitutes were spark-plugs to the team and helped start a rally that turned defeat into victory. All the R, P. l. games away from home were lost, which helps to show that the team needs seasoning. With only two players being lost to the varsity by graduation and material coming up from the lunior Varsity and Freshmen squads, Batavia should look forward to a still better season next year. R. 1. Novotny In the Spring of i933 the student body of Batavia High School was horrified by the announcement of the Board of Education that there would be no more money expended for athletics in Batavia High School, However, under the influence of public opinion, the Board relented, and allowed the various sports to continue, provided that they could support themselves. The hopes for the basketball of l933-34 were none too high, as basketball is a difficult sport to finance Nevertheless, with the aid of Mr. Keegan and assistants the Student Season Plan was started with 225 supporters. This launched the team on its way. The first home game receipts were not encouraging, but, as the season pro- gressed and the team began making victories on the home court, the attendance swelled to a point where we can feel justly proud in declaring the season a complete financial success, a fete that has not been accomplished in several years. We hope that in the future our athletic victories will continue. Newspaper Comments on Two Outstanding Games of the Season THE KENMORE GAME They came, they saw, but they didn't conquer. Thus, the highly vaunted Kenmore High School five was only able to fulfill two parts of the famous threefold motto of lulius Caesar, as the high- stepping Batavia High School varsity basketball quintet administered a stunning surprised defeat by a score of 3l to 29 Apparently undaunted by the past records of the invaders who generally are conceded as the strongest team in the R. P. l. League, the varsity methodically set to work and, from the opening toss-up until the final whistle, they unleashed a furious and devastating at- tack. The team clicked to perfection, and when things looked darkest they rallied with unusual force. THE LEROY GAME An alert and aggressive Batavia High School varsity basketball quintet, which functioned smoothly at crucial moments, easily tri- umphed over the Le Roy High School five by a count of 26 to l5. on the B. H. S. Court before a record crowd of 800, Reaching the peak of the campaign by an excellent passing and shooting exhibition, the Blue and White warriors proved that they could come back in face of disheartening defeats. The victory was ample revenge for the beating the varsity took earlier in the season when Le Roy nosed out a narrow win.

However Coach Winters has about sixty men out for practice this year and we are all hoping that he will be able to build up a winning team by using the two letter men who still remain from last year as a foundation things One was a deficiency in second and third place men to fol- low up the many first places won by our team on the track. The second was the lack of strength in such field events as the broad lumps high lump and second and third place men in the shot put and pole vault The lack of strength in the field events was prac- tically responsible for our inability to win the Sectional Meet at Ken- mor, and also the Le Roy Meet held at home. The fine teams that we had last year lacked two important Due to the lateness of the Track and Field season, we are unable to give the results of the meets this year, However, the proposed schedule for this season will be found belowi May l2-Batavia at Dansville.

Membership is based upon character, leadership and scholar- ship. ln this way every girl is given an opportunity to develop the characteristics which are so valuable in later life. The special aim of the League is to be of service to the school at all and any time. For their particular work, each member selects some one thing in which she is interested. Among the most common are serving as ushers at junior High activities, acting as guides for strangers in the building, visiting the hospital where they read and entertain children who are ill, and the supplying of food at least twice a year to some needy family, The social functions are rather limited, the most im- portant being the annual banquet held at the end of the school year at which time the final reports are given, names for membership submitted and the officers for the following year elected, The League for i933-34 includes: President Vice President Secretary and Treasurer Norma Doxtator Berneda White Frances Rankin Sponsor Mrs. Thos.
