THEME This Year a sea theme vvas chosen tor the Batavian, through vvhich the statt has tried to illustrate the idea ot the progress ot the students in school as compard with aquatic activities The sea was selected as a symbol ot eternity, and examples ot man's progress in exploring the sea were used to shovv comparison vvith the student's development in lite it- selt, With the deep sea symbolizing depth ot lqnovvledge, the progress ot man in discovering the secrets ot the deep sea exemplitied the student vvho advances in vvisdom as he ex- periences more ot lite. ADMINISTRATION The administration guides the stu- dents in their activities like the lighthouse Which stands as a beacon to those on the sea.

Hawley, E. Philleo Our General Organization held its annual elections September, 1934. It had been decided not to have any G. O. dues this year in order that all the student body could vote. The candidates for the Presidency were Paul Davis, Beecher Chapin and Jack Coons. Candidates for Vice President were Mary Ellen Page, Venus Dipson and Marjorie Rankin. The results of the election gave us Paul Davis and Mary Ellen Page as our new oflicers. President Davis called the first G. O. meeting September 28th. There was the business of launching this year's G. O. for a successful year. The President appointed a Constitution Committee for the pur- pose of rewriting our Constitution. It was necessary to malce several changes so that our G. O. actions would not be violating the Constitution. We also had a disciplinary council appointed. The duty of this council was to deal with all cases of discipline that came up before the council. This committee worked very satisfactorily on the several cases. The Council, with the help of Mr. Cofran, established our Honor Study Halls. We are hoping these will be a permanent fixture in our school from now on. One of the outstanding accomplishments of our Council was the ap- pointment of a Committee to write up a new students' handbook.. So many things have changed since the old handbook was published that it is of small value to the students.

Remember trooping across the stage to get your honor award, that is, if you were that kind of a student? Then, in the eighth grade, remember being awed by the business-like way in which the ninth grade conducted their O. Campaign? And signing half-a-dozen petitions thrust before you to put up a candidate, not half knowing the idea of all the activity until it was over? And the eighth grade Circus held in the gym with prizes of popcorn for the best stunt put on by the home-rooms? But-when we got to be freshmen and started our contesting and boosting of candidates the minute school began, recall the excitement on the day of the nominating convention? The 0. Campaign was very effective that year for the election results were so close the vice-president won by a few votes and we had to re-vote for president. Art Gumaer and Anne Welch certainly fulfilled their promises to make our year outstand- ing for the O. The proceeds from the Junior High play Purple and Fine Linen, given during our last year in Junior High are represented in the beige cur- tains now on the stage. But upon entering Senior High, we elected our own class oiqicers, namely: Richard Smith, presidentg Marcia LeSeur, vice president, Elaine Strouts, secretary, and Harry Baker, treasurerf These results were an- nounced at the Sophomore Assembly when we also selected our class colors, blue and silver. These were worked out very effectively at our banquet. The success of our annual gathering was determined by the purpose of the next Sophomore Assembly where we received reprovings. Dick Smith and Margaret Gouinlock stood the slams that evening. And now we arrive on the threshhold of a junior year. Starting the year under the leadership of Murph'7 Suozzi as president, and supported by Rita Crehan, vice president, Arlene Strouts, treasurer, and Jeanne Malis as secretary, the first project of the year, the banquet, loomed on the horizon. This took place on Saturday, December third, instead of the customary Friday, giv- ing us all day for preparations. Returning the favor of the Seniors who invited us to dancing after their banquet, we extended a like request to them. Dick Smith, an able toastmaster, introduced us to Mr. Wells, Coach Pierson, Miss Kinnear, Mr. Hull, Dominic Suozzi and Elaine Strouts as entertainers of the evening. We appreciated their speaking to us very much. Credit is due the chairmen: Program-Marcia LeSeurg Music- Harry Baker, Decorations-Margaret Gouinlock, Menu-Elsie Ware, Invitations-Rita Crehang Table-Joyce Norris, and Tickets-Edward Suttell for their cooperation and efforts. The great enterprise of the year, the Prom, proved to be very effec- tive with a penthouse roof top as model for decoration scheme. We were very satisfied with the results of our labor. As we accepted and fulfilled the wish of last yeai-is Juniors that we, the coming Juniors should enjoy our year as they did theirs, so we the class of '36 extend our wishes for a successful year to the class of '37 and we anticipate our Senior year with just as great pleasure. JUNIOR PROM On the eve of February 8th, 1935, many Batavia High School students and friends hurried up the High School steps to participate in the well-known Junior Prom. As we entered the ballroom, the music of Dave OiHare and his Band invitingly met our ears. Looking around the room we were surprised to see that Cinderella's Fairy Godmother had visited the school. She had turned the gym into a Penthouse, or Roof Garden. From the dark sky, hung many sparkling silver stars. On the far side of the garden was 'QThe Man in the Moon smiling down on gay couples. We were surrounded by beautiful palms and white fencing. Lights from city buildings were seen at a distance. All seemed like a place of enchantment. Cinderella's Goclmother, alias Vernon Nye, should be highly praised for his splendid work as chairman of the Decoration Committee. We were very pleased to have with us, as Patrons and Patronesses, Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Mulcahy, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Welch, Mr. and Mrs. Byron D. Strouts, Mr. Howard D. Weber, Mr. Ernest Huff, and the Misses Myrta Hunn, Josephine Johnson, and Blanche Kinnear.

S. started its twelfth year of existence with its forty members eager and ready to do their best to ful- H11 the obligations implied in the name of their club. They started their busy year by taking charge of the G. O. stand at the football games, selling hot or cold nourishment to the populace, as the case demanded. The basketball season also found League girls ply- ing their wares to excited rooters, doing their bit towards keeping them placated at trying points of the game. Cornelia Ruprecht, who was in charge of ushering, Madeline Kelsey of serving, and Lois Olsen and Margaret Kilburn, who were in charge of candy sales, deserve much credit for their hard work. This year the girls, instead of paying for a regular school assembly as usual, acting in cooperation with Miss Gehring presented a play, 'qTur- key Red, for the Thanksgiving Assembly, assisted by Miss Gentner. Two dances, at I-Iallowe'en and at Christmas, were sponsored by the League this year. Monica Hermance and Marion Walker, respectively, had charge of these, and proved capable of their task.

Robert Miner SCHOOL PLAY Splendid acting and interpretation supported by wonderful lighting effects and scenery contributed to make the Senior High School play, The Youngest, a three-act comedy by Philip Barry, a huge success. Beecher Chapin as Richard fThe Youngest, did as well as a pro- fessional in playing rhe role of an aspiring young writer who is continual- ly persuaded by his elders to give up his foolish ambition and start on a business career. His stories are repeatedly rejected by the publishers which subjects him to criticism from his brothers and sisters. As 'QRichard is the youngest he plays the part of the f'goat in all transactions. Spurred by an attractive visitor at the Q'Winslow', mansion in the personage of Nancy Blake played by Beryl Salsbery, Richard,' loses the idea that she is like the rest of the family and finds that she is interested in many of the same things he has a fancy for. Alan Martini' played by Douglass Harvey finds a technicality in the family will which entitles The Youngestv to practically all the family fortune. In the meantime, Nancy Blake makes a bet with Richard's sister Muff which is taken by Mary Ellen Page that he will win out and con- quer the family. After settling a few misunderstandings, i'Nancy and Richard cle- cide they are made for each other and plan their marriage. Supporting roles were taken by Lois Ward as the mother and Elaine Strouts who played the maid. -Daily News EXECUTIVE STAFF Director .... .....,. ................,.......,...,,i...,..,............i..., B .

Beecher Chapin The major project of the Dramatics Club program for the year was their annual presentation of three one-act plays in November. These plays were Travelers by Booth Tarlcington, Keeping Kitty's Dates by Latham, and Q'Neighbors by Zona Gale. This was one of the hnest productions ever given by the Dramatics Club and it played before their largest audience. Part of the proceeds from this presentation was spent to purchase stage furniture and scenery. As a climax to last year's dramatic program the Dramatics Club was represented in the State Dramatic Contest held at Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York, May 9th-llth of 1934. The play presented was 'QThe Mes- sage from Khufun by Cottrnan and Shaw. The students who comprised the cast were Jack Coons, Robert Gehring, Brenton Simmons, and Walter McRoberts. Batavia, in competition with the seventeen schools who pre- sented one-act plays, was awarded honorable mention. Out of the ninety- three actors who participated in all the one-act plays, third place for the merits of individual acting, went to Batavia-to Brenton Simmons. STAGE CREW The Stage Crew has had a very successful year under the efficient leadership of Jerome Pickert, one of the finest stage crew managers Batavia High School has ever had. Much of the success of the year,s work has been due to his capable efforts and to the interested cooperation of the entire crew. 1 Six new members joined the crew last September, but it did not take them long to learn the work and grow proficient in it. This is the first year the stage crew has undertaken the making of an entire new exterior box set. The wooden frames for the set were made in the shop under the supervision of Mr. Murbach. The flats were then covered, sized, and painted by members of the stage crew and of the scenic staff of the school play under the direction of Miss Gehring. Splendid cooperation on the part of the Woodworking, Art, and Dramatic De- partments made this beautiful set for The Youngest possible. The stage crew spent many arduous and profitable hours in the construction of this stage scenery. The Batavia High School owes a big debt of gratitude to the stage managers and stage crew without whose help our dramatic plays, musical concerts, Batavian pictures and assembly programs could never be realized.

One scarcely realizes the tremendous amount of work that goes into the making of a weekly school newspaper until one has had ac- tual experience. The Pic Staff deserves much credit for its loyal and un- failing work, even in face of disinterest and criticism. To next year's staff is wished the best of good luck and success.

The members are chosen to this Honor Society according to the rules laid down by the National Honor Society, which provide that fifteen per cent of the class members may be elected, all of whom must be in the upper third of the class as regards scholastic standing. This places a definite requirement of scholarship on the possi- ble members. The other three requirements of character, leadership, and service are judged by the electors. In Batavia High School every faculty member indicates the students who in his opinion are most worthy of elec- tion. The Hnal choice is then left to a group of seven teachers who are in a position to know the Senior Class most intimately. This year's members have tried to make membership in this group something more than purely honorary. To this end, they have tried to lead in Senior activities and to help particularly in inaugurating new pro- jects. Thus believing in knowledge, character, service, and leadershipf' they have tried to realize and fulfill the responsibilities implied in membership. COMMERCE CLUB First Row-L. Cesarano, P. Cross, G.

In 1928 she presented the idea of a Commerce Club to the business students. The plan met with instant approval and the students formulated a club and drew up a constitution. The Commerce Club was officially established in 1929, when the Gen- eral Organization granted it a Charter. Its first adviser was Miss Williams. Speeches by faculty members, and business people from Batavia, and entertainment sponsored by the club members furnish programs for the club meetings which are held during every other Junior Assembly. According to its usual custom the club provided a needy family with a Thanksgiving basket. Under the guidance of its able adviser, Miss Davis, the club has en- joyed a most successful year.

As their share in helping the school, the Ex Lihris girls had a victrola, which they had previously presented to the English Department, cleaned. Also, through the kindness of their ad- viser, Miss Thompson, they were ahle to have framed a copy of i'The Gleanersf' by Millet, which they presented to the school. SPANISH ASSEMBLY Friday, March the 8th, everyone hurried to the auditorium and anxi- ously waited for the curtain to rise, for the Spanish Assembly was about to be presented. During the first part of the program three skits were given. These were Just a Love Nest, No Connection, and Romance.,' Between the acts the audience was entertained by Spanish music. Berneda White played Forget-Me-Not and Aloa on the guitar. Several selections by a Spanish trio, Stanley Snell, Elizabeth and Arnold Tiede, were also enjoyed. When the curtain opened for the second part the audience drifted to Spain. Beautiful palms and garden scenery and accessories created a Southern atmosphere. The Royal Cadets played some Spanish music. Elaine Strouts and Barbara Pickett gave a Spanish Dance. Gerry Knower and Edna Cecere interpreted a Modernistic Tango. Edna Cecere and Edna Dispenza pleased the audience with the popular Continental. Robert Mansfield announced the program and Winnie Legg was in charge of the properties. Much credit is due Miss Wynn for presenting this assembly. FRENCH - GERMAN ASSEMBLY This year with the addition of German to the curriculum, it was de- cided to combine the German Assembly with that of the French. It was the intention to give the student body an idea of the language by pre- senting a play and a comparison between French and German modern and folk songs. The setting for the French part of the program was Radio CRCT, Toronto. As it was visitors' night the actors were in costume. A play, La Faim est un grand Inventeurf' was presented by the French classes. The musical part of the French program included i'Au Revoir L'Amour from Maurice Chevalieris picture Folies Bergeref' and a folk song Au Clair de la Lune. Berceuse,' by Godard and selections from Samson and Delilahv by St. Saens were also played. The German part of the Assembly consisted of a modern German waltz and a chorus. The chorus sang Die Lorelei and the German National Anthem, Deutchland uber Alles. Mr. Schwan sang two songs, a French and a German one. He also led the student body in the singing of two folk songs, the French Frere Jacques, and the German Q'Achl Du lieber Augustine. GAINSBOROUGI-I ART CLUB First Row-C. Saile, M. Kelsey, A.

Miss Waldorf The year's work of the Gainsborough Art Club has been one of suc- cess as well as one of profit and enjoyment to every one of its members. Each member of the club made an article for the Christmas Sale of the Art Club. The profits gained from the sale and several candy sales that the club held were used to buy materials to decorate Miss Waldorf's office. The club has covered the floor of the office with a tan colored grass rug with a pattern design in blue and orange. Monks cloth drapes cur- tain the windows. An attractive wall hanging worked out in a modern- istic design in blue and orange as the predominating colors is on the wall. Underneath this hanging is a table with an orange vase on it. At the end of the room is a monks cloth covered screen. The clubls project has resulted in a pleasing and well balanced room. The president, Clarice Culling, presented a painting to the school, The Avenue of Trees by Hobbema. The club owes its success and greater understanding and appreciation of art to its able adviser, Miss Waldorf. PHI SIGMA HI-Y First Row-E. Lown, F. Elmore, G. Morith, Mr. Huff, Brewer, F. Norton, D.

A. clubrooms every second week at which time many interesting subjects for discussion were brought be- fore the members. The club was also fortunate in having as its guests many very interesting speakers. Mr. Albright gave a very interesting and instructive talk on astronomy. In January the club sent a delegate to the Western New York Older Boys' Conference which was held in Niagara Falls. The members were very interested in the subjects that were discussed at the conference. Another conference was held at Albion during March to which delegates were also sent. The club sponsored a dance held in the Hi-Y rooms which was re- membered as one of the best of the year. It was a financial as well as a social success. This year the boys were very fortunate in being able to go through Attica Prison. This was considered the most interesting event of the year. The club wishes to express its appreciation and gratitude to Mr. I-lulf for his work with the members this year. HB ll First Row-G. Page, Minor, E. Sileski, Mr. Hanley, McGhan, B. Rienholtz, W.

Mr. Hanley The B Men's Club started its tenth year in the Batavia High School with its membership made up of those individuals who have ful- filled the requirements in any of the major sports of track, basketball and football. This club was organized purely as an honorary organization for the purpose of promoting higher standards of athletics and rendering service to the school. For the last few years this club has made a special point of serving at school activities. For this service rendered the RB Men's Club of 35 feels justly proud that it has set another goal for the future clubs to strive for. The organization has also sponsored dances after the basketball games for the purpose of offering to the students of B. H. S. a means of cele- brating the team's victories and of earning a little money for the club. At the class banquets and social functions, school play and other school activi- ties the club has given service in the form of a patrol squad to keep order. The club of 35 leaves a record for future clubs to strive for but they also wish them to initiate greater cooperation and service to the school. CLUBS DEBATE CLUB On October 30, 1934, a class for the study of debate was organized by Mr. Nott. It was to meet alternate Tuesday nights for instruction in the fundamentals of argumentation. Those who manifested a steady in- terest as well as ability were to be organized formally into a club during the second half year. Regular meetings were held until the beginning of the second semester when extended absence of the director, clue to illness, temporarily inter- rupted the plans of the group. The club resumed i.s work in March, cul- minating its worlc for the year by the presentation of an assembly program by the class members. RADIO CLUB Donald Houseknecht is the presiding oflicer of the Radio Club which meets with its adviser, Mr. Burns, during Junior Assembly to study radio construction. Each member of the club has built a simple radio set. As a special project of the clubls activities, Angelo De Fazio has taught the members the International Code. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club is an informal organization of twelve boys inter- ested in the printing and developing of pictures. George Kustas is the chief photographer, Howard Chapman, assistant photographer, and Wil- liam Manitsas, secretary and treasurer. The club owns a camera which takes a 5 by 7 picture which the boys spend their spare time in operating. The members have taken pictures in the Children's Home and rhe grade schools.

Its membership consists of those teachers and pupils of B. H. S. who are interested in Mathematics in the various phases of its application. Its sessions have been character- ized by very interesting discussions in pure and applied Mathematics. Some subjects which have been discussed at its meetings are Astrono- my, The Fourth Dimension, Derivatives and Infinitesimals in Calculus, Plane Surveying, Number Systems and Hypsometer. Some of the sessions have been spent in cracking Mathematical Nuts and solving other trick problems. All of the meetings have been interest- ing and instructive. MANNERS CLUB The Manners Club, a term organization of forty members, met dur- ing Junior Assembly to gain a better knowledge of every day manners. A special project of the club was the pantomine presentation in an as- sembly program before both the Junior and Senior High School during courtesy week.

Its members have turned up loyally for every football game in their snappy uniforms fwhite trousers which are not so white after the game is overj, and have given our teams unfailing support. The members of the Band deserve much credit for their enthusiasm and zest in helping Batavia High School by furnishing stirring music to spur the teams on to victory. This year the Band, instead of taking part in the Junior High School Concert, has played with the orchestra in an instrumental concert. Thus it has shown remarkable improvement since its origin in 1930.

Al- ways an excellent organization, this year with the addition of the unusual oboe and the bassoon, and the exclusion of the piano, it has justly earned the title of Symphony Orchestra. STRING ENSEMBLE Left to Right-N. Page, B. Chapin, R. Hiscutt, L. Brownell, M. Rankin, P. Grinnell. M. LeSeur, M. Gouinloclc An innovation in the Batavia High School Musical Department is the String Ensemble. This is made up of two first violins, two second violins, two violas, and two 'cellos-a double string quartet. Its members play chiefly chamber music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as this is the music best suited to such a small group. This year a new scheme is being tried in the concerts. As the Musi- cal Department has increased in size, so have the annual concerts neces- sarily increased in length. The difficulty is being overcome by having the Spring Concert divided into two concerts, one instrumental, and the other vocal. Formerly there was no room for the String Ensemble in an already crowded program. By this new arrangement, it is given a defin- ite part in the vocal concert. Among its selections are Rameau's Minuet,', a Gavotte of Gluck, and Mozart's 1'Night Nlusicf' Pochon's arrangements for string quartets are also used, including two very popular arrangements: Old Black joe, and q'Drinlc To Me Only With Thine Eyes. The String Ensemble has been asked to play on several occasions. They have helped at many school functions, and have in addition, played at Amherst High School, at the Veterans' Hospital, and assisted Mr. Owen in a lecture at the Y. W. C.

Brewer, L. Brownell, R. Houseknecht, B. Chapin, Man- chester, R. Smith, C. Bargay, R. Grimes, R. Duncan This is a new organization of which Batavia High School can justly feel proud. Taking the place of the former combined Octets, this group of twenty-four voices does only A Capella work, and does it unusually well. The girls and boys also sing as separate groups. The girls' favorites are: 'KThe Nightingale,7' by Tschaikovsky-Luvaasg uSummer Wind,,' by MacDowell5 and :'Music When Soft Voices Die, by Robertson, while the boys, are: The Hills of Home, by Fox, 'qSylvia,,' by Speaks, and 'Tm Gwine to Sing in de Heavenly Choir,'7 by Milligan. Because of the excellence of this group, they have been called upon to entertain on several occasions. As usual, they have helped at school assemblies and speaking contests, and have participated in the annual con- certs. In addition, they sang at Amherst High School, Snyder, New York, they helped in the Musical Concert presented by Batavia High School at the Veterans' Hospital, and they sang before the Congress of New York State Parent Teachers.

P i tt Willand The Boys' Glee Club is not so large as the Girls, Choral Club, but its members are just as enthusiastic. Twice a weelc the boys gather in the music room for an hour of fun and work. The results of these hours are well displayed in the Christmas and Spring Concerts. This year the boys also ably assisted in a musical concert presented at the Veterans' Hospital. Among the numbers presented this year are: The Arab Song by Clalcteyg Captain Mac,' by Sanderson, KCome to the Fairv by Martin, and The Viking Song by Coleridge-Taylor. Many seniors will be leaving the Glee Club this year, but as many more boys will be coming from Junior High School to take their places. To next year's Glee Club, this year's members wish the best of success. CHRISTMAS CONCERT Orchestra Hungarian March ........,.......,,,....,.....,.......,. Parade of the Wooden Soldiers .........,...

It is true that our Blue and White squad came out on the short end of the score this season, with a total of 34 points against 81 for our op- ponents, but the financial achievements and exceptional response of the student body more than balanced this short coming. The squad got off to a rather slow start this year, due to the loss of eight of last year's efficient players, but, under the able direction of our new coach, Mr. Frank Pierson, the old lettermen and the new recruits were quickly rounded into form. In fact, they were rounded into such fine form that the main objective of the season, the Kenmore game and the Le Roy game came out favorably. The results of both of these games showed that Bataviais able bodied men were not asleep. We lost to Kenmore by the narrow margin of four points and we beat Le Roy by a seven to nothing victory. It is almost impossible to mention football this year without paying due tribute to the two able managers and the Batavia High School Band and cheerleaders. The financial worries were carried by the broad shoulders of business manager Joe Brewer and faculty financial adviser- Mr. Charles Keegan. The field manager, Doug Harvey, and his assistants kept the field equipment in A-1 condition. Throughout the entire season the band showed their loyal spirit by marching to the games and parading on the field during the half. Many times when the teamis spirit was low, the band put new life into the boys. The cheering squad this year was composed of all new members under the leadership of Tommy Ryan. By the use of new cheers and new arrangements for the old ones, the student body stood behind the team 100 per cent. TEAM First Row-M. Malis, C. Neth, Mancuso, Costanza, W. Ashton, Roeschlaub, C.

The traditional contest was witnessed by 1,800 spec- tators who watched the first half of the game in a drizzling rain. The scoring play was made on a fake reverse through the right side of the line by Rittersbach from the Le Roy half-yard stripe. McGhan crashed his way through right tackle and annexed the extra point. This encounter closed the 1934 season for Coach Frank Pierson's Hrst B. H. S. eleven and gave the Genesee County Scholastic Football Cham- pionship to the Blue and White. TENNIS The annual fall tennis tournament ended on October 4th when Ed Lown, last year's champion, was defeated by Jack Coons in the finals with a score of 9-7, 6-3, 8-6. In the first round Lown defeated Coons 7-5, 6-2. Dave Brenman defeated Scott 1VlcCumber 6-3, 6-3. Rus Stone defeated George Gauclc 6-0, 6-3. Because of an odd number in the drawing for places, Nelson Brownell was originally scheduled to the winner of the Brenman-lVlcCum- ber match. Coons challenged him, however, and won 6-0, 6-0. In the second round Gauck challenged Brenman 6-4, 6-4. Lown defeated Stone 2-6, 6-2, 6-1. Stone challenged Coons but was defeated 3-6, 7-5, 6-1. This brought the tournament to the finals which had the previously stated results. Lown and Coons received letters. The interest in tennis in our school seems to be increasing as it be- comes more apparent that tennis is a manas game. In coming years tennis will advance to its rightful place as one of the countryis major sports. Dec. Dec. Dec. Han. jan. Han. jan. Feb. 95Feb. 3'Feb. Feb. 3lCFeb.

Rittersbach, Minor, G. Page, L. Netzen, F. Palmer Second Row-R. Hagen, M. Mason, W. Bentley, D. Brenman, A. Stevens, C. Palmer, Coach Pierson At the close of last year's basketball season Raymond Novotny pre- dicted that in ,35 Batavia would have an excellent team. His prediction was certainly fulfilled, for Batavia participated in the R. P. I. League playoff. They played the three playoff games on neutral courts, two at Kenmore and one at Amherst Central High. The points for the entire season, including seventeen league games and four extras was, Batavia 592 points, and opponents 559 points. The spirit throughout the season was very unstable. At the games it was apparent that the student body was behind the team to the last de- gree, but at some of the pep assemblies that spirit was lacking. There are two sides to every story, just so with basketball. First the side with the score on, then the financial side. The business manager Dave Brenman succeeded in selling the installment ticket plan to a large number of students, also many towns-people were regular attendants at the games. So all in all the season was both a financial and scoring success. TRACK In all the athletics in Batavia High School, track is the least supported. In 1934, one hundred and twenty candidates reported to Coach Wlinters, call. Of these only thirty-nine finished the season with thirteen men re- ceiving major letters. The season was fairly successful. Batavia par- ticipated in six meets, in which ten High Schools were represented, scoring 2512 points out of a possible 606.

The teams are chosen from the class teams and members of the team are awarded letters. The day of the game is one of excitement for all of the girls in B. H. S. The gym is decorated in Yalels Blue and White and Princeton's Orange and Black and distinctions are worn by the girls showing their choice of team. Songs and cheers flll the gym during the game. This year's game was won by Princeton, the score being 24-14. It was a fast and well played game.

One of the main issues of the organization this year is in making the Junior Honor Society a success. The corridor patrolmen, under the splendid leadership of Stanley Halstead, have made a success of keeping the corridors orderly. The students of the Batavia Junior High School are becoming more independent and reliant. This will continue as long as the students show their appreciation.

They have put on two plays: The Troubadour's Dreamy and The Court of Personal Grievancesf' They have also put on two choral readings-something which is seldom heard of in this part of the country. During the meetings held every three weeks, the members are trained to select and prepare skits and pantomimes. On November 23 and 24, 1934, the Junior High presented its annual play. It was the finest one of our plays which we have yet presented. The Junior High is greatly indebted to Mrs. McIntosh for her fine directing.

To be eligible for membership one must give evidence of leadership, good character, and an honest effort to obtain the highest scholastic record of which she is capable. At the begin- ning of each year five names are proposed from each eighth year block and at the first meeting of the year three members are selected from this list from each block. During the year the duties of each member are to assist the school in any way possible such as directing visitors through the building, assisting new students to become acquainted, serve as ushers at concerts, visit children who are ill and to do what ever else may rightfully be termed service. The social functions of the year consist of two major occasions, the annual assembly put on by the members and the annual meeting of which the officers for the following year are selected. For their charitable work the league at various times of the year provides baskets of food to be dis- tributed to worthy needy families. In order to make these baskets possi- ble throughout the year, the members of the league sell candy and in this way raise sufiicient funds with which to buy provisions for their donations. The oflicers are: President ,.......... . .......... Doris Aldridge Vice-President ......., ....... G eraldine Hackett Secretary ,..,....... ....,..... M argaret Orr Adviser ,.,... ...... M rs. Philibin Junior Garden and Bird Club The Junior Garden and Bird Club is an organization composed of thirty girls and boys who show signs of caring for nature. During the year the members visit the different prominent gardens of the city and make trips to the woods. The object of the club is to learn to appreciate and observe the beauty of nature. Each of the members makes scrap books on flowers and birds and each member tries to make his or her book the most attractive. During one week of the summer an exhibit is given at the-Y. W. C.

Winters. The boys were taught the funda- mentals of basketball. There were thirty-two out for the team, made up entirely of freshmen. The boys won one out of three games played this far in the season. The boys show fair play in their games and are learn- ing to act as one unit while on the court.

To be sure it reads like what we read in books and newspapers, but there is a difference. You don't push hard on the button in the bus but rap smartly. She is getting out a glossary of familiar terms that the rest of us may suffer less embarrassment on our visits to the ancient mother land. Mrs. Douglass is attending political meetings, going to sessions of the House of Commons, attending church at St. Paul's, St. Giles' and West- minister Abbey. She lunches at the Cheshire Cheese and other coffee houses beloved of Addison, Johnson and Lamb. The Tower and Windsor are becoming as familiar to her as the Troop A Barracks and N. Y. Tele- phone Company's oHices. She spends her leisure hours in the reading room of the British Museum. Mrs. Douglass is making many friends in London. She goes to teas and social gatherings of many kinds. English cookery is reducing her Hgure to the sylph-like proportions of her girlhood but it does not dull her enthusiasm or her love of people. The English, she says, are the most courteous, kindly and hospitable folk in all the world. But how serious they arel She longs for a hearty laugh, or at least a smile of enjoyment on an English face. Mrs. Douglass is Mrs. Pratt-Douglass to her Eng- lish friends. The Douglass clan has too many representatives in London. I-Ier friends would like to distinguish the cordial lady from over-seas. Besides it makes her more one of them. After a few months Mrs. Douglass is planning to set out on her trip eastward around the world. South Africa, India, China, Japan, and Australia are on her itinerary. She would add new scenes, new friends to her kaleidoscope of remembrance and her chain of living friendships. Mr. Hitler, Mr. Stalin, Mr. Mussolini, and all ye potentates who trample with armed heel upon the bosom of this fair earth, pray keep the peace till Mrs. Douglass gets home again. Sheill have many a rare story to tell. Perhaps she and others like her who love gayety and life and people might induce grim Mars to change his sword for a pilgrimis staff.
