Full of eagerness and ambition, not so long ago, we first ascended the steps of good old B. H. S. With the world's knowledge spread before us, we became enthused, though, some- times it seemed that we were obtaining an oversupply of facts. But, here, we have been learning to take our part in the World by sup- porting our school, which is a part of our community, a community which will presently depend on us. Through the combining of work and play we have been slowly learning to live. We have attempted, in this annual, to collect a resume of milestones for the purpose of retain- ing our memories.

TO OUR SCHOOL-A temporary world which is all our own-where we learn to meet success and defeat-which shares with us our joys and sorrows-and still, jammed with youth's mer- riment, laughter and emotion. TO OUR COMMUNITY-A scene where we encounter the dangers and difficulties for which we have been prepared--where we are molested by the hustle and bustle of industry-never theless, our field of achievement.

Through their unselfish attention, the support of the city is directed to the school's advantage. Appreciating their help, we are hoping that we, in our turn, may be of help to those who follow us.

The modern high school should have as its objective preparation for adult lite through having much of real lite situations within its own program. Batavia High School is a socialized school in which student activity and organization give abundant op- portunity for lite itself, in action. No young person stepping out eventually into a position of self support in a city, village or rural center should consider that he is sufficient unto himself. His mind should be attituded toward positive and active good citizenship. He should help serve and build that the civic unit may be eventually a bit better for his having been a member of it.

She rendered her services to the school un- selfishly and her effort will continue to be an incentive to all of us. Her vivid personality and zest for living will never be forgotten. She will be revered and honored in our memories always, as just Our Mac. Page 13 MRS. ETHEL MCINTOSH FACULTY FIRST ROW MYRTA E.

Hunn Object--To encourage in the school at large those qualities for which the Society stands, namely: scholarship, character, service, and leadership. Accomplishments-The National Honor Society does not sponsor projects in the school as it is composed largely of the leaders in the various other activities and to do so would take their efforts away from their other interests. The Society does, however, put on an assembly to initiate the members chosen in January.

H. S. with hair-pulling, face-scratching, victory over the boys' basketball varsity. In 1916 the girls entered the Genesee- Orleans County League. During the next ten years as members, they were considered the fastest girls' team in Western New York. No other girls' team showed such promise. The number of girls going out for basketball increased yearly, and so in 1926, to give more girls a chance, it was decided to do away with inter-school competition for girls, and have inter-class teams instead. This system worked very well and at the end of the season a banquet was held, at which fifteen girls were awarded letters. These girls were chosen by a committee of three and were supposed to be the best players in the school. In 1929 the Freshmen took the Seniors down a peg by winning all their games. In these inter-class games there were fewer foul shots awarded than ever before. In 1931, when Miss Harris became girls' athletic instructor, the idea of the Yale-Princeton game was started. Two teams were chosen and at the end of the season the big game was held. All the girls in the school were invited and it was a gala event. Princeton won in '31 and again in '35 and '36. In '32, '33, and '34 Yale came out on top. This year under the very competent supervi- sion of our old grade school friend, Miss Backus, the girls have had one enjoyable year. In September we played soccer until it got cold. Then basketball season started and what fun! Every Tuesday night a group of girls go to the Y.M.C.A. and swim, under the direction of Dolores Fellner. Through Miss Backus's effort Ping-pong and Shuffle-board sets were secured. The use of these sets in gym encouraged many more girls to turn out after school. A Girls' Athletic Association has also been started so that students may contribute their ideas for a better athletic program. The Associa- tion functions at all athletic affairs. The president is Harriet Beachel and the treasurer, Ruth Burns. At 2:30, February 27, 1937 our first play day got under way. Four teams of eight girls each were chosen to compete against similar teams from Medina, Albion, and LeRoy. After competitions in basketball, cageball, kick-it, ping-pong, and shuffle-board were over, points were totaled, and a banquet was held. Only the members of the teams will be able to realize the suspense we ate under. After we had finished eating our ice cream, Doctor Shepard was called upon to read the results. She would start at the bottom! As each team's score was read they stood up and sang their Alma Mater. Medina scored 20 points, LeRoy 21, Albion 22, and good old Batavia came out on top with 31. On March 24 all the girls in school assembled in the gymn. Why? Oh, the Yale-Princeton game, of course. The lineup was: Yale-Captain L. Cinquino, A. Clase, R. Burns, L. Volture, l. Bonarigo, R. Schriner, D. Wiedrich, B. Salway, and B. Cervone. Princeton-Captain M. Gringer B. Orlowski, S. Pixley, H. Martino, D. Fellner, H. Mairer, I. Langworthy, L. Suozzi, and D. Woodward. Yale won by a score of 36 to 26. It was a very exicting game and both teams played hard and fast basketball. Now basketball is over and we hope to get our track, baseball, tennis and golf teams in shape. We hope that if we have a track play day, Old B. H. S. will again be blessed with success. At the end of the year, the girl with the most points in each class will be given an award and the members of the Yale-Princeton teams, letters. These will be presented at a athletic banquet held, probably, in Iune. Page 86 GIRLS' ATHLETICS A Top-Girls' Athletic Association M. Pixley, M. Tibbs, R. Burns, H. Beachel, A. Dombrowski, A.

MPG '37 FOOTBALL REVIEW Sept. l-Coach Pierson called the first football practice for the l936 season although school didn't begin until a week later. About fifty candidates reported for practice, of whom eleven were last year's lettermen. Sept. 26-Batavia's first football game for the season took place at Woodward field with Albion High as its guest. It was in this game that Carl Webster was lost for the remainder of the season due to an injury. B. H. S. was defeated by a strong Albion eleven 26-O. Oct. 3-A fast Trott Vocational eleven invaded Batavia and handed the B. H. S. team l8-O set back. Oct. lO-The B. H. S. squad journeyed next to Lockport for its first out of town game. Both teams played good football but Batavia was somewhat weakened in the first quarter by the loss of Carver, stalwart tackle who was hurt and the absence of Ed Allen. However, they scored the first touchdown of the season but were finally turned back 20-7. Oct. 17-The Geneva eleven arrived in Batavia at Woodward field at two- a steady rain before and for their game thirty. Despite throughout the game, there was a fine turn- out of students. The field was partly covered with water, which made playing difficult and fumbles numerous. This game was no exception to Batavia's hard luck, as Batavia was in possession of the ball on the opponents' six inch line when the half ended. The game finished a 7-O victory for Geneva. Oct. 24-B. H. S. entertained LaSalle, a new- comer to the schedule. After completely outclassing and outplaying the LaSalle eleven, Batavia left the field with only a T-7 score. Oct. 31-The Batavia squad traveled to Ken- more for the annual encounter between these two ancient rivals. Playing conditions were anything but favorable as the field was very soft. However, when the final whistle blew, the score showed B. H. S. trailing, 13-O. Nov. 6-The B. H. S. eleven traveled to Hornell for a game under the lights. Even though the field was not in too good shape, a hard game was played by both teams. After a sustained drive up field for approximately sixty yards in the third quarter, shortly after Hornell had scored, Eddie Allen, the B. H. S. field marshal, made a beautiful run around end for six points. This tied the score, and Batavia's try for the extra point was made good when Batavia's smashing full- back, Dom Mancuso crashed through tackle, giving Batavia a 7-6 lead, which they kept for the remainder of the game. Nov. l3-Even though the B. H. S. season had not been too successful thus far, the students and town supporters showed their loyalty and support by holding a snake dance the night before the LeRoy game at Wood- ward field. Nov. 14-Finds all Batavia aroused over the annual clash between the two great rivals, LeRoy and B. H. S. Weather conditions were favorable and a fine crowd was on hand to prove their loyalty and support to the B. H. S. boys. This game found the players on both teams giving everything they had for the game and, as a result, a very well and hard- played game was waged. Consequently, neither team was able to put across a touchdown with straight football, but in the third quarter, with neither team yet scored, B. H. S. got its break when Ed Allen snared a LeRoy pass from the air and, behind perfect interference, crossed the LeRoy goal line for the only score of the game. Thus B. H. S. ended its l936 season with a well earned 6-O victory over LeRoy, its ancient rival. 1936 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE B.H.S. Opp. Sept. 26-Albion O 26 Oct. 3-Trott Voc.

BASKETBALL Although the B. H. S. basketeers lost fourteen consecutive games in the St. Lawrence League, they ended the season in high class by defeating LeRoy both times in a home and home series by large scores. However most of the games lost by only one or two baskets. Nevertheless the spirit that is predominant throughout the student body prevailed all dur- ing the year despite the unsuccessful season. However, the Batavia season accomplished something that will mean more than a large number of wins would have, when they were voted the sportsmanship trophy by the League This trophy which is definitely not a consolation award was given to B. H. S. on several points such as sportsmanship, enthusiasm and de- termination shown by the team and the courtesy and spirit exhibited by the student body. B. H. S. has been noted for its fine sportsmanship and was rewarded for it when it was presented the trophy. We hope this spirit and enthusiasm continues as it has in the past. The team this year was composed largely of veterans, three of whom were lettermen. Many of Batavia's losses were not due to being outclassed by their opponents but largely to hard luck encountered. Batavia had everything that was needed for a winning season but luck would not have it that way. Even though the going was hard and they were being criticised by many, the team led by Coffee Hoffman, high scorer for the season, entered every game with the same eagerness and determination that any of the winning teams did. lt was this quality along with others which made them an ideal team. The St. Lawrence League of which B. H. S. is a member is often referred to as the toughest League in this State. L DI xx 4 f 1, ,f 54' ix 'Wy lil Cggf Ld ff! . in The B. H. S.

S. for the past few seasons has been rather weak in the running events, but has always been outstanding in the field events. This year, however, the running events seem to be somewhat stronger than preceeding years with Roeschlaub, Mahaney, Allen, and Gallager entered. Nevertheless, Batavia will be even stronger than last year, when they were almost unsurpassed in the field events. We are assured this with the return of lohn Carver, Cope-Dowd Cup winner of last year, Art Hessman, Ed Allen and Joe Mancuso. Carver, who was a star in about every field event last year intends to break a few records this year. Art Hessman who along with Bill Simpson is taking up the pole Where Pat Conley left it in the pole vault. Next we learn that Ed Allen, our handsome balloonist, is going to be entered in about half a dozen events again this year. Roeschlaub and Gallager, Batavia's dash men assure B. H. S. of places in several running events. In the killer events, namely the mile, half mile, and quarter, B. H. S. will be represented by almost the same runners as last year. Point winners are numerous in the mile, in fact there are three of them, Art Hessman, Burn 'em up Simpson and Clor. Ray Dustin will be missed in the half mile but Bob and Bill Smith who were out last year are returning and look very good. Goo-Goo Gallager is back as the good old substantial 440 man. All in all the prospects for the '37 season look mighty encouraging and all we can say is Good Luck, Boys. We are all behind you. flncluding your competitors-, We hope.J The track season comes so late in the year that it is impossible to include this year's results. However, a very successful year seems certain with the return of several of last year's team. Among them are five lettermen. Although, track is the least supported of all the sports, the team display the same spirit and enthusiasm that is seen in any of the other sports. Page 94 TRACK TEAM Front Row, Lett to Right-E.

HIGH CLUBS Friend Abroad Club President-Robert Norton Vice-President-Ralph Strollo Secretary-Elizabeth Nowatka Treasurer-Marcia Steubing Adviser-Mrs. Stella This club of about thirty-five members, one of the largest in the school, has much pep as well as cooperation. With Robert Norton as its president, the club runs smoothly with lively discussions in every meeting. The Friend Abroad Club tries to live up to its name as closely as possible.

While Mrs. Ethel H. Maclntosh, in person, is no longer enthusiastically engaged in making her immortal contribution to the spirit of this school, the stamp of her character will forever remain. Kind, co-operative, sympathetic, self-sacrific- ing, foreseeing, wise, Mac, as we knew her, served the student body for eleven years. Never did a girl, or boy, with a problem, a decision to make, an obstacle to overcome, bring it to her without receiving genuine, interested at- tention and knowing counsel. Brave and courageous, she fought nobly on, well aware of the extreme seriousness of her physical condition. No brighter example of dedication to a profession, no more ringing challenge to the performance of one's full duty, will ever be added to the heritage that makes the personality of B. H. S. Mac has gone, but her spirit marches bravely, nobly, vitally on. We honor her bright and glorious memory. We shall all be im- measurably richer for her having lived.
