I25 Introduction AST year saw the issuance of the first RED AND BLACK to be published after an interval of seven years. The editors certainly were successful in accomplishing all they set out , j- -1 l l to do. The book went from the first day of its publication. Last year's work, how- ever, was sold considerably under cost price, the difference being generously made up by the Recorder staffs of the school year '07-'o8. This year it is our aim, not only to make a book which will be differentufrom, and, if possible, even better than last year's production, but to render it financially successful as well. To more readily accomplish this result, we have issued a book in two bindings, in paper and in cloth, each edition to be sold only slightly be- low cost price. This change we trust will meet .with the approval of our readers and of the school. Our second innovation is the insertion of short stories and poems contributed by members of the school. In issuing this book our aims are two: we strive to interest our readers, and, at the same time, to present in brief, accessible, and yet pleasing form all information and statistics of importance concerning the school. XVe commend these our best efforts to the kindly judgment of our readers, whose criterion it is which shall pronounce: Success!,' or Failure!', Our sincere appreciation and thanks we desire to express to all our many friends whose kindly help and advice have aided us in our undertaking, especially to Dr. Sullivan. to Mr. Stone and to Mr. Stebbins. Particularly do We wish to express our regret at the resignation from ofhce of the Editor-in-Chief of this year's RED AND BLACK, Alan D. Smith, whom failure of health compelled to surrender his position to the present editor, and to whom we desire to here express our most earnest thanks for his splendid work in getting the book started. As the financial success of this Year Book is largely dependent upon its advertisements, we take this opportunity of calling our readers' courteous attention to this feature of the RED AND BLACK of nineteen nine. That our success may afford pleasure to others, that our failures may point the way to greater and better achievements in the days to come is the sincere wish and desire of 2 TI-112 EDITORS. 2 5 x 'X X f BOARD OF EDITORS ' , Xxx U K ' Editor-in-C11icf K CHARLES E.

Mistrusting, fearful of impending fate, They rolled from out their ranks the hardened Stone To chance the catechism first, alone. St. Peter looked his record up, then spoke: One sin you have marked here, you're always brok Stone answered, Saint, I can explain the cause: 'A rolling Stone can seldom gather moss. ' And then the Churchman sleek the gate drew nigh, He who was wont to do away with II: He entered, for on earth he loved to talk Of square and straight, and followed lines of chalk. And next our portly Orator essaved To gain Elysium's care-dispelling shade, To gain admittance he was forced to wait Until the Saint had wider made the gate. The Painter of Madonnas now appears, But, as the Saint brings forth a pair of shears, The' Painter cries: In Heaven I will not stop, el Unless, good Saint, you leave me with my crop l Andwhen the Painter through the gate had gone, Good Proper came, with his improper yawn. The Saint, in pity, sent him, not to strife, But gave to him. 'a couch and restful life. And then our Song-bird, diffident, reserved, When asked why he the meed of I-Ieaven deserved, Replied: All over Jersey I am blessed For lnllabying 'skeeters to their rest. A The Chief and Loeb then knocked at Peter's gate. It may not be respectful to relate That they, to gain admittance, practised wiles:- They dazzled Peter with expansive smiles. And so the.rest, a long and various train, Some passed, new crowns and joys of life to gain, While others went to places where--but halt! On earth at least we'll spare to name their fault. DAVID SHAMFOROFF, '09, The Boys' High School URING the year june, 1908 to June, 1909, B. H. S. has passed through a successful, and, in so faras the boys in the main building are concerned, an eventful year. High School has made a very creditable showing for the year in athletics and in debating, While in the recent declamation contest held under the auspices of the G. N. Y. I. D. L., F. R. Pope, 309, carried off first prize in Orations, and H. Swiggett, '09, received the second prize in Declamations. For those of the students who are especially interested in the study of languages, two new societies have been formed, the f'Classical Club and the German Club. Both have been eminently successful in their undertakings. That which alone is to be regretted is the departure of several of our,oldest professors, to take up higher positions in other insti- tutions. Mr. Charles E. Hartwell, who had for so long a tiniebeen faculty adviser to the Recorder, has become 'first assistant in English in E. D.. H. S., Mr. Edwin Fairley has received the same office in the Jamaica High Schoolg Mr. Charles Lambert has become first assistant in German in Richmond Hill H. S., and Mr: john Stocker has received the position of first assist- ant in physics and chemistry at E. H. H. S. All in all, the work done testifies to the fact that the year last passed has been one of the most noteworthy in the annals of B. H. S.

T HE past school year has been one of the most successful in the history of the Bedford - Annex. The administration of all departments has been thorough and efficient, Mr. Wood ably performing the duties of principal during Mr. jackson's absence. On the students' part, the Annex standards in scholarship have been well maintained, teachers and pupils cooperating to preserve a high scholastic standing. The greatest interest of the majority of the students has, of course, been centred on ath- letics. Yet in spite of the enthusiasm of all concerned, baseball has been the only organized sport, as interest in football, basketball or track has not been sufficient to result in the formation of any teams. In the B. I-I. S. Indoor Meet, however, the Bedford Annex was well represented. This apparent apathy in regard to most games has been due in great part to the lack of all facilities for practice. Athletic equipment there has been none, and funds for obtaining such have also been lacking, as the Annex has no athletic organization of its own, supporting the general B. I-I. S. Athletic Association, from whose officials it has seemed difficult to obtain supplies. The baseball team, the first the Annex has ever had, has been unfortunate. Though the efforts of Manager Bloss, Coach Croohe, and Captain Spiegler were successful, in so far as getting a team together was concerned, time and opportunity were too limited to permit the development of a winning nine. , ' In the first two games, with I-Ieffiey Institute and Adelphi 2d, the A-nnex was entirely outclassed, both opposing teams winning by large scores. These games showed the rawness of the Annex team, which needed practice to develop solid team-work. The next game, with New York Prep, was the first in which the Annex made any showing. Though defeated again, IQ to 17, the nine played a much better game, the chief defect being in batting. WVeak- ness in this respect lost the game, men several times being left on third base because of poor batting against a pitcher of no very remarkable ability.

FTER the Bedford Annex had been opened in 1906 because of the extreme congestion suffered at the Main Building, the number of students still continued to increase. Con- sequently another annex had to be formedhin a very short time. This branch was established in February, 1909, and was assigned quarters at Belmont and Berriman Avenues. Because of delays on the part of the city contractors, it was not Hnished on schedule time. Mr. E. B. Parsons, who had been placed in charge of this new division of about four hundred embryo students, was enabled to pursue the regular course of work in temporary quarters on the top floor of the new building of Public School No. 75, which is located on the corner of Grove and Evergreen Avenues. However, we all hope that the regular quarters will be finished and ready to be occupied for the coming fall term. The regular Belmont Annex quarters are reported as equipped with all modern improvements-a spacious gymnasium, shower baths and outdoor courts. Although the Annex is but four months old, yet the fellows have already formed organizations and societies. The faculty likewise have joined enthusiastically in the work. Mr. Fisher has arranged a declamatory contest to better enable the students to develop their dormant oratorical abilities. Mr. Bridgetts, who has charge of athletics, has also worked hard to keep up interest in the school. A series of inter-class games was arranged and the fellows of Room 407 proved themselves to be the champions of the Annex. Auditorium exercises have been held regularly in the elaborately decorated assembly room of the building, where many prominent men have addressed the School during the term. 17 Post Graduates James C.

Zwickel The Sorrowful Tale of a Lunch Counter . Somewhere, amid the cloistered seclusion of that part of the building known as the basement, other- wise the gym, there is situated a curious and in- teresting institution known as the lunch counter. Why this name was ever given to it is a mystery to all concerned. In case you are a stranger and con- sequently unfamiliar with its workings, we will take a little journey to the mysterious realms below, so that you may see with your own eyes the startling performance. Any day at 12.15 you descend the stairs that lead to the catacombs and suddenly you are there. The delicate aroma of coffee is mingled with an unspeakable odor from the chemical labora- tory, so that a divine fragrance permeates the at- mosphere. The Queen of the Kingdom of Buns and Milk is a slender person, upon whose head. however, the crown sits easily. Yes. that is she now, bustling alcng behind tl1e broad, golden oak counter. See, she has stopped. She looks around her for some- thing, then, not seeing what she is after. opens her mouth, and, in a rapid ascending falsetto yells: Herman, Herman, H-e-r-m-a-nl! All at once there comes sprinting through the long line of arches a dusky knave, who dashes up to the Queen, grabs a tray of dainties UD and is off again, before one has time to realize what has happened. Suddenly a great bell peals forth its sonorous summons. The time has come. Hear it not, Duncan, it is the knell that summons thee to Heaven or to Hell. You clench your fists and wait. Four or live husky youths come running up, and, leaping the counter, gird themselves for the fray in great white aprons. The battle is on! All at once, with a great rush, the famished horde of vandals is upon us. The attack on the fort is begun. A struggling, fighting, screaming line of boys, four deep, flanks the counters. A multitude of shouts and cries arises. Hey, Brick, two buns and a milk! C Brick, it might be explained, is not the name of a new style of pate de foies gras, but the name of one of the pikesmenj Chocolate pudding, chocolate pudding, choc-- A nice juicy cream-puff, erratic wanderer of the skies, has wandered against the speaker's mouth. He licks the cream off his cheek and plunges into the maelstrom again. Chocolate pudding, chocloate puddingin and his voice is swallowed up in the clamor. But what strange formula is this pedant uttering? Is it a Latin rule, or is he invoking his patron deity to give him courage to withstand the fierce on- slaught? Listen a moment:' Hot dog, hot dog, hot dogg here, Bibs, hot dog! Alas, well might one say with Carlyle, What is one roasted war horse among so many? Suddenly you feel a cold sensation in the region of your spine. Heavens! Is it possible that you have been struck by a stray bullet? You turn around to see what is the matter and receive, square in the face, the remainder of the glass of ambrosial milk, which has been trickling down your back. But there is no time to pauseg the cries are increasing in strength and fury. The awful pzean rises to the stars fwhich in this case are a metal ceilingj. Two buns au' a milk! Two buns an' a milk! Two Hats! Three Lueernasl Two soonges! Shredded wheat! Two buns and a milk! Chicken. Brick! Where's my change! Ham, ham, h-a-m-- I-lark! What was that? Could that have been a'cry or a sob? Is it possible that some one is dying from the effects of an D. You look hastily about. Ah! it comes from beside you. You gaze down and see a pathetic spectacle. A tiny little Freshman, in a cute little Buster Brown suit, and low socks, with a regular sailor hat and boxed hair, is standing there, rubbing his dirty little fists into his eyes. A Bergen's Botany is clasped firmly under one arm. Mommer! I want-want my-y mem-mommer! You stoop down to comfort him. He looks up at you a moment, and then, with another howl of misery, turns and Hees. He digs his hands back again into his eyes, and rushes blindly forward, head down. All at once his head forcibly finds a resting place in a broad expanse of stomach, which one staid prof has been promenading the corridor with. Ughl he gasps. Alas, let us turn away from this heart-breaking scene. All at once the bell peals forth its summons again, there is a rush, a scramble, a few parting shots, a stifled sob or two. and the horde disappears almost as rapidly as they have come, leaving behind them a battlefield red with the hlood of martyrs and hnckleherry pies, white with tiny streams of milk which tlow quietly over the dungeon Hoof. But the Queen. .-Xh! Yes, the Queen. Now is the time u hen she sits in the corner in regal state. and taking out her money bags. counts and recounts her hard-gotten gains and smiles and chuckles softly to herself as the thought of some peculiarly dis- tressing or side-splitting incident Hoats o'er her royal head.

HE year 1908-1909 has been one of great prosperity for the Recorder. The staff, with February ushered in a new editor and a new board, capable of maintaining the excellent standard set by their predecessors. This year marked the introduction of a feature which should become a custom, namely, the giving of medals to the members of the staff. Each editor, assis- tant editor and business manager was presented with a gold medal, the other members of the two staffs receiving each a medal of silver. This method of recognizing the conscientious work which the fellows do is both unique and appropriate. May the Recorder in future years live up to the enviable record established during the last past and the present term. Staff of September, 1908--January, 1909. E. E. Corbett, Editor. , I.

H. S. was not so successful this season as last, yet our debating team is tied with that of Jamaica High and with that of the Eastern District High for second place in the Greater New York Inter-scholastic Debating League. On the night of December 12, 1908, a team representing this school, composed of Samuel A. Goldsmith CCapt.j, Charles Perlowitz and Lloyd O. Wilson, met a team of the E. D. H. S., the members of which team were I. Stevenson Hill CCapt.j, Samuel Rosenthal and Harry M. Blank. The question for debate was: Resolved, that the Philippines should be given immediate independence by the United States. B. H. S. supported the 'affirmative of this proposition, while E. D. H. S. maintained the negative. The debate was one of the closest of the season and resulted in a victory for the negative. In spite of this temporary set-back, B. H. S. sent another team into the field to meet the representatives of the Manual Training H. S. in a debate on the question: Resolved, that women should be given the right to vote in the United States. Our debaters on this occasion, April 24, 1909, were Samuel A. Goldsmith QCapt.j, Harry C. Bricker and Charles E. Bing- ham, while those of M. T. H. S. were Max Hacker CCapt.j, Frederick Conard and Harry Weill. This time B. H. S. was thoroughly prepared. In presentation our speakers drew forth round after round of applause from an adverse audience, and in his refutation Captain Goldsmith com- pletely overthrew the affirmative case which had been maintained by Manual. The debate result- ed in a unanimous victory for B. H. S. 59 Inter-Class Debating URING the present school year a new branch of debating has been instituted in B. H. S.-Inter-class debatinff. Due largely to the S. D. S., which originated the scheme, B. 'W H S has at last followed the lead of Manual and of Commercial and has brought about the participation in debate of many boys in the school who otherwise would not receive . . . - - I b L this training, at once a pleasure and a benefit. During the term September, 1908-January, 1909, twelve teams were entered in the contest for the Eagle gavel. After a weeding-out process, Neier and Newbold. representing Room 32, Chaimowitz and Harrison, representing Room 8, Gold and Hammer, representing Room 5, and Suydam and Sieverman, representing Room 3, were left for the semi-finals. In the latter Rooms 3 and 5 were victorious, and on january 20, 1909, these two met in the auditorium for the final contest. The judges, Messrs. Stebbins, Mitchill and Riess were unanimous in their deci- sion for the affirmative which had been maintained by Suydam and Sieverman of Room 3. For some reason, considerable apathy is manifested by the students in this term's series. There are a few old reliables, who attend every debate, but the boys whom these contests should interest and those whom they should reach are conspicuous by their absence. Yet. on the whole, these debates have been beneficial to the participants in them, and have thus accom- plished the chief result aimed at in their institution, and have fully proved the value of the introduction of this new activity into our school life. 60 ILES f yi xl MTJOIYHJ The Wiles of Mrs. Johnson Mrs. Samson Lafayette Johnson was thinking. Maybe that accounted for the squeaky sigh that issued from her thick lips, for it might be said in explanation that Mrs. Johnson didn't often trouble herself with thought, and as a consequence her brain cells were somewhat rusty. Yet on this momentous occasionvshe was thinking. Her husband had been dead a year, now, and it was time for her to support another one. A longing for a man came over her and, although, of course, very shrinking and modest in the presence of the opposite sex, here, in the privacy of her own room, she began plotting how to get No. 2. Upon reviewing in her l11lI'ld'S eye the eligible males of the neighborhood, she finally decided on a likely son of Afrique bv the name of Alexander Johnson. This choice was partly due to the simi- larity of names, which would be convenient in the future, and partly to the fact that he was going to call on her the following afternoon. There were, too, other things in his favor. He had never been married before to her knowledge, and therefore might be expected to look with friendly Cbecausc ignorantj eyes upon the holy state of matrimony. On the other hand, he was rather worldly in his tastes and habits, but the good Mrs. Johnson knew how to take care of that quality, and so it did not hinder her choice. Peggy, she called to one of the three remem- brances of her first husband, take dis heah broom an' tidy up th' settin' room, d' y' heah ? All right, mah, in a minute, was the time-worn answer which came from behind the woodshed. Yer wuthless niggah, yerg come and do it imme- jately. Ah won't stand none of yer sarse ter-day, exclaimed the quick-tempered mah. After the task had been unwillingly performed, Mrs. Johnson called together her other young hope- fuls: ' Now, homes, she explained, Ah's expectin' a gemmin fren' heah ter-morra, and ah want ther settin' room ter look as nice and well-to-do as pos- sible. So, Rufus, you go over ter ther park and get a bunch o' dog-wood'-be sure not ter get caught,- and you, Topsy, tote all them silerx plate thin's in ther kitchen and clean 'em up bright, yer heah P Yaas, mah. While these preparations were going on, she her- self went across the street to her sister's to borrow her diamond ring. This was successfully accom- plished after some explanation, pleading, and the making out of a receipt, after which' she returned home again rejoicing. ' The next afternoon arrived. It was a fine. cold day near the end of February. The snow lay like a white mantle upon the earth, transforming the squalid appearance of the neighborhood into a scene of beauty and purity. The clear, cool air possessed an unaccustomed freshness, while the sun from above looked down upon all with a kindly smile. No wonder, then, that as Alec. Johnson came up the street, his heart beat fast and his pulse was high. Who would not have been stirred by the quiet beauty of the scene, much less this simple-hearted negro. But not to leave Mrs. Johnson waiting too long. With a pompous step, Alec. approached the door of 'The author thought it would seem classical to have an anachronism, hence the dog-wood in February, for such was the month. l his downfall and knocked. It was speedily opened by Mrs. Johnson herself, and from that moment the net of married life began tightening around the bachelor. Good afternoon, Mis' Johnsing, a fine day, ain't it? ' Yas, indeed, it am. What is so rare as a clay in Febr'ary, anyway? i Wal, Ah don't know, Mis' Iohnsing, Ah surely dohn't. Then, the formalities being over, she led the way to the sitting room. Have a seat, Mistah Johnsin, Ah have ter tend ter ther fire, but Ah'1l be back in five minutes, re- marked the astute schemer. Suhtinly, replied the bachelor-and he was left alone. Dat war a mahghty fahn ring she had, solilo- quized the man. Ah wonder how much it am wuth? It mahght bring 'nugh ter satisfy thet fool tayler what's gwin' ter git me 'rested next week if ah don't- At this moment he caught sight of the sideboard. The spectacle made him rub his eyes, and' then he stealthily arose and tip-toed to the door. After making sure that no one was approaching, he proceeded to investigate more closely. What a sight! All of Mrs. Johnson's silver plate, with two borrowed pieces, had been polished until it shone like sterling. He gazed at it eagerly for a few seconds, and then lifted each piece up and carefully examined and weighed it. Bah Iove! Ah wonder if she would marry me. He returned to his seat but could not stay there. Going back to the sideboard, he counted every piece and mentally calculated its value. Ah's gwin ter try it, he ejaculated, and again sat down. In a few moments Mrs. Johnson returned. Ah's awful sorry ah kept yer waitin', Mistah johnsing, but Ah jess couldn't help it. Ah need a man in ther house ter look ahter thet boy, Rufus, 0' mine. He don't even keep ther fire-box in kind1in', and Ah've jess had ter wait fer him ter chop some before Ah could fix ther Ere. Nex' thing ah know, he'll be running away, maybe with mah bank-book. Bank-book! echoed the astonished man. Have yer got a bank-book, too? Wah, yas, Ah's got a leetlc bit saved up, it mahght come in handy some day, yer know. And is al thet stuff over thar sterlin' siler?l' Wah, 0' coas, wat makes you ask sich questions? Alec. approached her. Miss Iohnsingf' he said, throwing his arms around her, Miss Iohnsing, Ah loves you. Mrs. Johnson relaxed happily in his arms, for the scheme had won. ' WARD GROTECLOSS ,IO. The Poet's Dream O for a quiet place apart, From the busy world away,- Where one may seem more near to God. And dream away the day: A quiet nook by a rippling brook, Away in the forest shade, Where one may dream by the whisp'ring stream 'Till the slanting rays shall fadeg 'Neath starlight bright of a summer's night, A rustling wind through the trees, Which comes like a sigh from the church nearby, A hymn Hoats on the breeze: 'Neath summer skies, where far off lies The poet's magic isle, Where one is blest with perfect rest And may dream away the while. 1 O for such a place have I searched in vain, And I search for it day by dayg But the poet's dream will not come true, For life has its work, alway.

The numerous interscholastic and inter-class debates have aroused the student body to an appreciation of the advantages derived from public speaking. Although in the S. D. S. itself the interest of some of its members was slackened because of their connection with other school activities, yet despite this and despite the persis- tency of certain financial embarrassments, the club is still in active existence, much being due to the industrious labor of President Goldsmith. His enthusiasm was never lacking and his energy was never wanting. ' Mr. Fairley, who has been acting as faculty adviser and coach for the debating society for four years, has been transferred to Jamaica H. S. where he receives the position of head of English Department. As this office was thus left open, Mr. Raiman was chosen to fill the vacancy. ' Officers September, '08-January, ,OQ.

On November 9th the trials for the debating team were held in tl1e Lecture Room. Bricker, S. L. Goldsmith, and Rosoxvsky were chosen by the judges, Messrs. S. A.

To attract interest to the society, the lecture 'It 'mn the first regular meeting was on the popular subject of X-Rays. Thisdwas followed by a more or less systematic series of lectures on various interesting subjects, which occupied the entire term. Witlu the exception of a noteworthy 'lecture on Alternating Cur 'iculty Assistants. T Faculty Director. 6 GQ rents by Mr. Franklin, a former president of the club, all of these lectures were delivered by members of the society, and were often accompanied by experiments. The preparation at- tendant to the giving of such lectures and the practice in public speaking obtained, cannot prove otherwise than beneficial. Largely through Dr. I-Iale's efforts, members of the club received reduced rates at the Elec- trical Show at Madison Square Garden. Many took advantage of the opportunity to visit so interesting an exhibition. On October 24th, the society made a very profitable visit to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle building. Several hours were spent in inspecting the various departments of the newspaper. Such features as the linotyping and sterotyping rooms, the photographic department and the gigantic presses were of especial interest, in a building crammed full of mechanical wonders. At the conclusion of the tour, the fellows showed their appreciation in the usual high school manner-by giving a boom-chick-a-boom with three Eagles on the end. The following members spoke before the club during the course of the term: Mr. Spauld- ing, Schindler, Goldbaum, Fitch, Gross, Greenberg, Immerschien, Rugen, H. Berger, E. Ber- ger and Zemen. There has been a committee for establishing a wireless station in the school, from time immemorial. The club has labored at this undertaking according to the energy of 'its changing members. The student body has grown quite used to seeing two thread-like wires stretched across the campus, but other than having been named the aerial, these wires accomplish little. In December, '08, however, there was a sudden awakening. In a brief week, a wire connect- ed to the aerial was strung through the basement to the dynamo room, the site of the long pro- jected station. Soon a receiving apparatus was installed and messages were actually received. But nature had not been consultedg the january sleet storm worked complete havoc with the aerial wires and the term ended with little better prospects for the wireless than before. Many of the meetings were enlivened by the reading of clippings of scientific interest col- lected by the Current Events committee. The medals for general activity in club affairs were awarded as follows: First honor, Goldbaum 3 second honor, Greenbergg third honor, Schindler. 70 President-OTTO RUGEN, Barrett, 'Io Berger, H., 'II Dr. Cook ' Mr. Curtis, A Fitch, 'Io Foddy, 'Io Godson, ,IO Goldstein, 'I2 Gross, '11 Dr. I-Ialel' February--June, '09 Officers '09 Vice-President-MORRIS GOLDBAUM Treasurer-HARRY SCHINDLER, 'IO ' Roll of Members Immerschein Isles, '09 Kohn, '09 Montag, 'I2 Nicol, 'Io Rugen, '09 Schindler, ,IO i Schmidt, ,I2 Mr. Spauldinggf Zeman, ,II Goldbaum, 'Io Wetstone, 'IO Whelan, 'IO Underleider, '10 Meruk, 'II Steen-Moller Mattheas, '12 Brower, '12 Tunison, '09 f Almost entirely through the efforts of the new president, a most attractive program for the term was arranged. Contrary to the usual method, the bulk of the lectures were scheduled to be delivered by members of the school faculty or such outside men as Mr. Thompson of Colum- bia University and Professor Fay of Polytechnic. Many of the lectures were to be illustrated by stereopticon views. So extensive was the program that a meeting was planned for every available Wediiesday of the term. Mr. Thompson's able lecture on Arsenic and Arsenic Pois- oning was followed by three excellent lectures by Dr. Hale on Metallurgy The program on the 24th was a consideration of Electric Lighting, when two club members discussed the development of arc and incandescent lighting. On April 21st, Mr. Proper talked on The Development of the Petroleum Industry. He ' Faculty Assistants. T Faculty Director. 71 was followed by Mr. Curtis with a lecture on High 'l'einperatures.'l This was the last pro- gram rendered at the date of this writing, and there is yet to come fully as interesting a por- tion as finy of the entire schedule. ,liarly in March, upon Nicol's resignation from the position of treasurer, Schindler was elected to succeed him. lN'ith the advent of spring, the XVireless Connnittcc, composed of Godson, Isles, Snow and Goldstein, journeyed to the tower regions and soon had the aerial in working order once more. lVith receiving apparatus, which was partly their own construction, they soon picked up airy communications. Messages from such 'stations as the llrooklyn Navy Yard, the De Forrest Man- hattan lleach and the Marconi Transatlantic were intercepted. Up to a late hour no C. D. appeals were recorded. The club wishes to extend cordial thanks to the mcmhcrs of the faculty associated with it, for their hearty co-operation and interest in the organization. I E1.Ecr1ucAL CLUB Chess Club Q HE chess team has succeeded this year in winning the Isaac L. Rice trophy. The H team, composed of Rosowsky, Damrau, McKenna, and Clurman, played a consistent game throughout the entire season, in the Order named, During the season High School played Commerce, defeating them 3-1 and 3-1, and won from Commercial, 4-0 and 3-I. Our team met and defeated Manual Training High School, 4-0 and 4-0, and Townsend Harris, 3-1 and 3-I. In the team from De VVitt Clinton High School our team found a strong rival. After the season had closed, it was found that the team from this school was tied with the team from De Xlfitt for the cham- pionship of the G. N. Y. I. C. L.

Mr. Goiite then offered his services and was gladly accepted. He at once proceeded to get the fellows together for the various positions. The orchestra was then divided up into two parts, one consisting of the stringed and reed instruments, and the other of brass instruments. The members immediately set to work, and the result of their hard work and efficient training was soon shown. Besides playing for the school, at chapel, they have entertained at Alumnae Exercises, Semi-annual Declamatory Contests, at .the Lincoln Celebra- tion, and have visited both the annexes, Outside of the Schoolis activities, the orchestra has played at Trinity Church, Brooklyn, at the Men's Club, Ozone Park, at Curtis Lyceum, Staten Island, at General Putnam's Council, Royal Arcanum, and at Girls' High School Chapel Exer- cises. Orchestra I-IE orchestra is now under the supervision of Wm. B. Goate. Professor Spaulding, lil The organization won particular fame and glory for themselves on December 7th and March 12th. The former date found the Club at Girls' I-Iigh School. Their excellent rendi- tion of classical music brought forth volumes of applause. One witty junior Cwho was study- ing George Eliot's, Silas Marnerj remarks that he had never seen so many roses bloom in winter. A The latter date found them in our own auditorium. The orchestra graciously offered to entertain U. S. Grant Post on the celebration of Lincolnis birthday. It would be difficult tO tell how pleased the veterans were with the work of Mr. Goiite's pupils.

GJ ' 77 GLE1: CLUB Mr. Edwards was compelled to give up the Glee Club in 1907, many feared lest one of the most popular and praiseworthy clubs of our school should pass out of existence. Mr. Goate, then accepted the position of faculty leader, and his efficiency was soon shown. However, his services were demanded bythe orchestra and he was compelled to resign his position. It was then that Mr. Edwards willingly came forward again, volunteering his ser- vices, and it is needless to saylthat he was gladly welcomed back by the entire student body. Glee Club NDER the direction of Mr. Edwards, the club has had a very successful season. When The fact that Mr. Edwards was to coach the Glee Club again, brought forth ninety appli- cants, forty-five of whom were chosen. After the chorus had been selected, the fellows imme- diately got to work rounding out their voices. The old place of holding the meetings in Room 7 was transferred to the Drawing Room QZQD, where the club met regularly every Friday afternoon. To show their appreciation of Dad Edward's work, the club held a banquet in his honor at Raub's on April 23d. The affair was a great success. It has been the first of its kind in the history of the school. Mr. Harry West Suydam was the toastmaster, and his wit was not lacking during the evening.

So 4 Classical Club the first organization of its kind in the school Early last October Dr. Riess and Mr. Daniells set to work advertising their scheme 0f forming a Classical Club. Mr. Daniells, the faculty orator, ascende l the platform one XfVednesday morning and ad- dressed himself to the wise and otherwise students. He clearly set forth the purpose and object of the club, to increase the knowledge of the classics, Latin and Greek. The fact that Mr. Daniells was to be one of the faculty directors was alone sufficient to bring forth fifty members. During the year various members of the faculty lectured to the club. Most of the lectures were accompanied bytstereopticon views. The list of the lectures delivered to date are as p Classical Club HIS year has seen the growth 0f another large and flourishing society, namely, the mm ' follows: Travels in Italy, Mr. Ianes.

A great number have realized the value of a speaking-knowledge of a language so extensively applied at the , present day in business, in scientific works and in general conversation 3 a language spoken by one-fifth of the civilized world. How such practice would helpfully supplement their class work also appealed to them. So, encouraged somewhat by the recent organization of the Clas- sical Club, about twenty students, under the leadership of Henry Chaimowitz, came 'together on October 15, 1908, and under the kindly guidance of Dr. Thomas, Chairman of the German Department, founded what is now known as The German Club. They expressed their purpose in these words: To acquire a practical knowledge of German, and to inculcate an appreciation of the German language and literaturef' The election of officers resulted as follows: The German Club President-HENRY CI-IAIMOWITZ, '10, - Vice-President-ALLEN M. CI-IAIMOWITZ, 'IO. Secretary--C. CLIFFORD KUH. The need of such an organization was quickly shown by the fact that it immediately found great favor with the students. At its second meeting its membership increased to thirty-five. Only those are eligible for membership in the German Club, who have had at least one year of German. In order not to put any pecuniary difficulties in the way of students, no dues are required. ' The society immediately set to work, and the excellent programs that have been arranged and carried through at the bi-monthly meetings attest to the good work of the Executive Com- mittee, composed of A. Chaimowitz, Zagoren, Suydam, Axelrod, I. Gray and McMichael. Among the various features on the programs were occasional lectures by German teachers who kindly consented to lend their assistance, readings of German storiettes by more advanced members, followed by impromptu discussions on the article read, playing of games in German in which the whole society took part, thus compelling every member to learn to think and an- swer quickly in German-an invaluable practice-the entertainment and benefit of which only 83 those that have experienced it can know. Dr. Thomas, who has been present and advised the club at its meetings, declares that he has noticed a marked improvement in the ability of the students to cope with the difficulties of the German language and to express themselves readily and accurately in this foreign tongue. Often, as a pleasant closing number the club sang Ger- man songs, such as Die Lorelei, Die Wacht am Rhein, How Can I Leave Thee and Others. Among many may be mentioned the following lectures: On December 3, IQO8, Dr. Greditzer ad- dressed the society in German on Student Life in Germany. The great number present found the talk exceedingly interesting, as well as instructive. On December 17. 1908, the lecture room was crowded with students who came to hear Dr. Grube speak, in his entertaining manner, on How to Learn to Speak German. On March 1, 1909, Dr. Crandall narrated his experiences on his trip to Europe and travels there. which, given in his lucid style, were indeed interesting. On March 25th, Dr. Greditzer again favored the society with a German lecture on his travels in Cen- tral America. On May 3, I9o9,'we had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Grube speak on An- ecdotes of the Seven Years War fillustrated by stereopticon viewsj. A number of times little theatre parties 'were formed, and trips were made to the New German Theatre on Madison Avenue and 59th Street, New York. Among the plays seen being Wilhelm Tell, Hanne1es Himmelreisef' and Karl Heinrich. ' The German Club has made remarkable progress since its recent organization, despite all those difficulties that will arise in the way of any new organization. Many of the charter mem- bers will most probably remain in the school for another year, and will work hard to ,advance the usefulness of this society, a society which is eminently a students' club. The aid of all the German teachers in the school has been enlisted and this opportunity is taken to express the thanks of the society for their kind help and advice. In fact, Dr. Greditzer, on his prospective visit to his fatherland. this summer, has promised to take special note of everything, with the intention of telling the German Club all about it next year. Thus, with such excellent prospects in view, with the determination of the members to make it a success, and with the conviction that such a society is an actual necessity in the school, it is hoped next year to place The German Club among the foremost organizations of the school, to bring it up to that high standard of excellence which has always characterized every undertaking of the Boys' High School.

As evidence of this fact, we need but cite the record of victories gained by ll. H. S. since the establishment of the Inter-scholastic contests five years ago. Thus far, the Red and Black has made a clean sweep,'l coming out on top every time. Can there be anything better than to quote the testimony of this remarkable record? Is there need to say anything further than to mention the names of Robinson, Meyer and Keough? Naturally, we look to him to whom we are indebted for this added glory to Boys' High -Mr. Esselstyn. Under his guidance, the semis have been complete successes ever since he becameliead of the elocution department. Although the upper classmen do not, as a rule. take a course in elocution, owing, no doubt, to the fact that it is an elective, it may be said that a large majority of those who compete in the trials are juniors or Seniors. VVhen the registration dates are first announced, there is a rush of those who wish to be recorded as candidates. usually netting between sixty and eighty. Within three weeks, after the last day of registration, this number is cut' down to twenty, among whom the weeding-out process is continued until eight are chosen for the semis. In this fair way, all are given equal opportunities. Nor are the unsuccessful ones' turned away without reward. for an appreciation of their efforts is shown by a presentation of tickets of admission to the contest. Heretofore, the management of the semis has been left entirely to Mr. Esselstyn. Recently. however, a tendency has been displayed to divide this power. if such it may be called. This tendency has resulted in placing Mr. Buttrick in charge of all those delivering orations. To Mr. Esselstyn was given the task of coaching the declaimers. In this way. the teachers in charge are enabled to devote more time than formerly in developing talent, with the result that the contest last held was one of the most successful for years. Naturally, a friendly rivalry has sprung up between Messrs. Esselstyn and Ruttrick, for they both do their utmost to make theirs the prize-winning candidates. - 86 In the Thirtieth Semi-annual Declaniatory czntest, Howard Swiggett was awarded first prizeg Phillip Goldstein, secondg VVilliani Feinberg, thirdg and Harry VVest Suydam, fourth. In the Thirty-first Semi-annual Declaniatory contest. Lawrence S. Harrison won lirst prizeg I. Lepe Wfalerstein, seeondg Frederick Russell Pope, thirdg and David Shampforoff, fourth. In the Inter-scholastic Declaniatory contest, the prestige of Boys' High was once more up- held. Pope, reciting The Defense of the Tyrolese Patriot, and Swiggett, with Shipwreeked, won a gold and a silver medal respectively.

The enthusiastic spectators who thronged the benches and waved aloft many-colored banners and streamers, were at last hushed with anticipation. The stands were one bright mass of flaring, brilliant colors. Harsdale had not done as well as might have been .expected For some mysterious reason her weight-throwers l1ad failed to excel, and the lean, well-trained runners had lagged in the rear of the other collegiate competitors. The crimson pen- nants were not Haunted as bravely now as they had been before Yarwood 1'olled up her great score. Everything depended on the two-mile run, and, worst of all, James Buckley, Harsdale '04, realized it. So, like the great big, raw-boned freshman that he was, he stood in the middle of the track at the starting-point, kicking up his heels, scattering the einders here and there, and worrying over the result of the race which was to decide the inter-collegiate championship. That, however, was not all that the event meant for him, although in itself it would have been 1nore than sufiicient cause for his uneasy state of mind. There was Peters of Yarwood, the old veteran who had completed the two miles last year in record time, Buckley's rival in love! Now you have it, the secret has leaked out. Such a potent warrior is Cupid that he succeeds in van- quishing even such magnificent heroes as Peters and Buckley. In this particular case the human agent of the son of Venus was a certain Miss Amanda Hill, who was sure to smile upon the victorious athlete for a whole week at least. James gritted his teeth and casually glanced over the ten lightly-clad youths, the pick of the collegiate world, with whom he was to dispute the race. The far-famed Peters, short and stocky, was calmly lacing a troublesome shoeg beside him pranced a strongly- built, red-haired lad, Knapp of Porter, always one to be reckoned withg while farther along stood a magnilicently built newcomer, Russell of Cargate, of whom marvellous things had been whispered. But Buckley's brief mental observations were suddenly interrupted by the brisk voice of the starter. Are you ready? On your mark! The eleven men crouched forward in a line. Buck- ley, looking up the wide cinder-path, found himself wondering how the workers managed to keep the track in condition, and how long it took to spread the cinders. He wondered- Q Get set! James came to himself with a start and tried to cease wondering. With every muscle taut and his nerves on edge, he waited for the pistol shot. Bang! ' Buckley sprang forward, and for the first twenty yards raced along in the middle of the field till he found his place. Then, with that long, easy, high- stepping stride so familiar to his admirers, he moved up behind Peters and Knapp, the leaders. The former ran with a short, choppy leg-motion that covered ground amazingly, while the red-haired lad from Porter swept along superbly. After the first lap-there were four laps to the mile-the three had distanced all but one competitor, Russell of Car- gate, who raced lightlv by Buckley's side. The stands echoed and re-echoed with cheers, and James thrilled to hear his name coupled with that of his school. It was for Harsdale he was running! At the same time, however, he could not help wonder- ing if Miss Amanda Hill was joining in that cheer- ing. He had never been in such line fettle before, his breath was coming easily, and he felt no strain in the muscles of his legs. When the mile mark had been passed, Peters let out a link and attempted to draw away, but the three lads refu.sed to be dis- tanced, The quartet swept around the course for the fifth time as easily, apparently, as if the race had just begun, Peters and Knapp still in the lead. A man in the grandstand looked up with surprise from the watch he was consulting. ' They're ten seconds ahead of the record, as it is, he cried excitedly. They can't keep up that pace. But it seemed as if they could. At the end of the sixth lap, however, there came a sudden change. Like a flash Russell shot into the lead, leaving Peters as though that youth were standing still. After a moment of indecision Buckley followed. The voice of discretion told him that he was putting too much effort into that last half-mile to last it out. His breath was coming fast and his lungs seemed to be on fire, but the voice of discretion is small and he heeded it not. Steadily and doggedly he kept his place behind Russell. He heard his name shouted now almost continuously and determination lent hin1 strength. As they turned upon the last lap, Russell, tired and defeated, dropped back, while Buckley, weary but happv, went to the front for the first time. That last lap.will ever 'be recalled by him with all the vividness of reality. It seemed as if the turns would never come, as if he would be compelled to succumb to the weariness that was spreading over his limbs, to the darkness that was springing up before his eyes. How long the distance appeared! Now five, ten yards, ten yards farther, and still he was not headed. Now there remained but two hun- dred yards more, but every step was torture. It was time for a sprint, and James, trained by long prac- tice, knew it. There was a sudden, quick pit-pat of steps behind him, and Peters of Yarwood drew alongside and passed him. One glance was enough for the Hars- dale lad, and the fact gradually forced itself upon his mind that Peters was flllllllllg away from him. With a great effort he overtook his rival. Together they swept down the home-stretch, Buckley could almost see the finish-line. There was a humming in his ears, but he threw back his head .bravely and struggled for the lead. He was gaining, there could be no doubt about that. An inch, another-the tape seemed to whirl before his eyes-he stumbled, but with a last effort, while earth and sky appeared to meet, he hurled himself across the line, a winner by inches! bk Pk fl- fi- PY :sf James Buckley, '04, basked in the smiles of Miss Amanda Hill for the better part of a week, and was inconsolahle when that young lady returned to town. About a month afterward, however, he was notified by the irrepressible Peters of that young man's engagement to the beautiful Amanda, and he lived to act as best man at the wedding.

Football manager for 1909-Paul CYLea1'y. 93 HE football team of 1908 started its season with prospects decidedly brighter than those of the 1907 eleven The advantage of having back to school six of the previous year's Gmail? aggregation, which formed a nucleus around which to build a winning combination, and also the encouragement arising from this fact, gave to the team an impetus that carried it through the season with but two defeats. Perhaps the summer vacation served as a stimulus to spirit and enthusiasm for, when school opened in September and Coach Farrier announced his intention of beginning work, about sixty fellows responded to his appeal. After two weeks of hard practice, B. H. S. played and won its first game. Two new stars developed in this contest, O'Leary, quarterback, and Cayard, left halfback. Their splendid work was largely responsible for the favorable result. The next week High School met the strong Stevens Prep. eleven and, though greatly outweighing B. H. S., its attack failed to penetrate our line. Cayard's punting proved an important factor, the final score being due to him. On October 24th the Red and Black secured an easy victory over De NVitt Clin- ton. Such a large score was made during the first half that Coach Farrier thought it safe to give the substitutes a chance to cover themselves with glory in the second, and even then De Witt could do nothing against us. Yet the struggle revealed many weak points which needed radical treatment, so that before High School's next combat a number of necessary shifts were made. By this time a marked improvement was shown, which increased as the season' wore on. However, as the Poly game showed, the Red and Black team had by no means reached the stage of perfection. The unlooked for defeat which B. H. S. received in that contest was a severe disappointment to the supporters of Old High. The worst fault and the one that really cost High School the game was the tendency to fumble at critical moments. Poly's victory, however, acted also as a goad to urge our warriors on to greater efforts. B. H. S. met its second defeat at the hands of Central High School of Philadelphia. a team outweighing ours fifteen pounds to the man. Yet even against such odds High School fought a plucky battle and played in a fast, snappy style. Kuhn especially put up an excellent gamel His ability to get away with the ball on forward passes, a characteristic lacked by the majority of ends, and the way in which he broke up the plays of the opposing team kept the score from h Football CI ' 94 Tor Row: GARDNER, TAYI.0u, SHAMAN, CAuU'rII1zuS, M,xNAuxcR Mrnm.E Row: PIAVILAND, I-Lxusnu, CAYARD, IQUI-IN,CAl l'., OLSON, 1'IOI,DEN, '1'umxouA BUTTQM Row: GILMOUR, O'LEARY, ICINSCHERF mounting very high. Cayard's ground gaining powers did not desert him, seventy yards being credited to him. The last game of the season took place with Manual. Despite the fact that this had been conceded by the majority of non-partisans an easy victory for B. H. S., nevertheless it proved a struggle well worth seeing. Neither team was able to score until the last forty seconds of play, when High School's heavy attack began to tell on Manual's line, and, after a steady march from the fifty-yard line, O'Leary was sent over for the only touchdown. It is almost impossible to give too much praise to Captain Kuhn for his splendid work throughout the entire season. The mark which he maintained and the example which he set to his team could not but redound to his honor. Caruthers as manager looked after the busi- ness interests most creditably. It has been reported that Coach Farrier will not take charge of the eleven next fall. In that case High School will certainly lose a valuable man. His ability to build up from raw material championship combinations, such as that of 1906, and the knowl- edge of the game that he possesses have helped in a great measure in making the standard of B. H. S. football playing what it now is. I I Football Team of 19tl8 - H. Kuhn, Captaiu A. M. Farrier. Coach F. D.

Tfxmmu, Llcmns, LYNCH, OLSON Baseball HE baseball team of 1909 has had many advantages that were denied to last year's nine. Besides having back to school four veterans, Manager Roemelle secured a new field which surpassed Saratoga Park in every way. The coach, Mr. John R. Bunn, is a man well able to handle a team, for the combination which he turned out became one of the best,in the P. S. Al. L. B. H. S. gained a great victory April Ioth when it met in the first game of the season the strong Brooklyn College Prep. team. Although a clean contest in regard to fielding, it could hardly have been an example of what -Boys' High School was really capable of doing as the weather proved cold and raw. Dwyer, however, gained a name for himself by fanning out nine men and allowing but four scattered hits. The week following B. H. S. played its first champion- ship game, This took place with De VVitt Clinton, and, when the ninth inning came to a close, the score stood 4 to I in favor of the Red and Black. The B. H. S. nine showed a great im provement, both in hitting and fielding. Dwyer and Varnum proved very strong battery, no one being able to steal under the latter's speedy throw. High School did not play up to the usual standard in the Manual Training High School game, for, although we triumphed over our oppo- nents by the score of 6 to 3, yet there was little of the ginger which characterized the usual work of the team. Tabor seemed the only one entirely awake, playing a snappy, brilliant game despite a slight injury to his hand. B. H. S. encountered her first defeat on April 28th at the hands of the High School of Commerce. Each team struggled mightily for the victory and, though the Orange and Blue did finally triumph, the game proved an interesting contest even to the supporters of Old High. Van Riper's fielding was especially worthy of note, as it was he who kept the Commerce score from mounting any higher than it did. The B. H. S. warriors pounded Commerce's first pitcher so hard, that he at last gave place to Mellon, who really won the game for his team. Then another victory was added to High School's list when, on May 5th, B. H. S. met and defeated her old rival, Erasmus. After the first inning our nine made a clean sweep of every- thing, and the game ,ended with High School having ten and the Flatbushites three runs. In IOO the hitting line Olson captured first honors. His scorching grounders and long flies were the most spectacular features of the contest. U. H. S. on May Sth journeyed to Peekskill to struggle with the Military Academy situated there. This contest while not so important in itself served as a test of the teamis endurance. Peekskill had gone through its schedule Without one defeat and cherished the fond expectation of trouncing lil. 1-I. S. This hope was destined to be rudely shaken. Instead of a walkover for the home team, it proved a hard battle, ending in a victory for the visitors. Both nines were very evenly matched and the nine innings had lengthened into fifteen before High School drove her rival to defeat. The rapid advance which our team had made from the date of the Commerce game was evidenced in this struggle. Although few hits were credited to B. H. S. because of Holden's splendid twirling, each one which High School did secure came at the right moment, and usually succeeded in bringing in a run. Lynch and Dwyer headed the batting list, and the favorable outcome was due largely to their efforts. Fielding had espe- cially improved, for even though Peekskill possessed some very strong hitters, no runs were gained on errors. Tabor at shortstop again gave a fine exhibition of ball, repeatedly saving the day by gathering in grounders which it seemed almost impossible to stop. The prospects for a championship nine next season are exceedingly bright. Many of the men of this year's team will still be with us and this is always the main factor in pro- ducing a strong combination. In all probability High School will keep its grasp on Meyerose Park and so do away with the inconvenience of having to use the lot in the rear of the school building for a diamond.

Witli plenty of good material no court could be found on which to practice until very late in the season, and December was almost gone before the first game was played. The contest resulted in High School's defeat as did also the second battle, which, un- fortunately for B. H. S.,happened to be a P. S. A. L. game. The goad of this defeat now stim- ulated the members of the team to greater exertions, and the Red and Black triumphed over De Witt Clinton, Richmond Hill High School, Flushing H. S. and Bryant High. Commerce, however, proved a stumbling block and High School again went down to defeat. All hope of gaining the championship was now lost, yet the uphill battle which B. H. S. fought during the remainder of the season showed full well of what stuff the five was made. - East Orange and Poly Prep were each victorious over us, and, after we had conquered Pawling School, Manual Training High, in a fast, exciting struggle, ,-succeeded also in pulling down our banner. The game with Erasmus was next on the schediiile. Although many con- fidently expected that B. H. S1 would have an easy time of it yet the contest proved a thor- ough test of High School's skill and endurance. Both teams played finely and the outcome remained doubtful until the very last. An extra period of ten minutes had to be added to the reg- ular time before either side could succeed in breaking the tie. The shooting of Scully, the Erasmus center, could hardly be improved upon and scarcely a foul was missed. Olson who had not been able to play with the B. H. S. team during the year, was in this game, his pres- ence helping greatly to build up the score. Caruthers, also, gave a splendid exhibition of bas- ket ball, for, indeed, it was his shot that finally decided the contest. Throughout the greater part of the season, Caruthers took Olson's place as captain and filled that responsible position most successfully. His skill and knowledge of the game not only won a name for himself, but it was his remarkable executive ability which really held the five together. Witlioiit him the team seemed to go to pieces, and his absence was often the signal for a defeat. , 104 Basket Ball Team of 1908-1909 O. Olson, Captaiu Stevenson.

One thing, however, aided greatly in strong team, namely, the clear brisk weather which prevailed during the month The candidates were thus enabled, to get out' and practice every afterucon. The ment made reflects to the credit of Mr. Andrews and shows the determination 7 S the track season is not yet completed it is only possible to review briefiy the track year up to the present date. Very few of last year's squad returned to school in the fall, to train in the building up a of September. rapid improve- of the fellows. So far the season has been very successful, the chances being that ll. H. S. will also take first place in the P. S. A. L. outdoor championship games. The first event of importance in which B. H. S. was entered was the Greater New York scholastic cross-country run. Major won the race in fine style, covering the difficult course of three and one quarter miles in seventeen minutes. The P. S. A. L. indoor championship games took place the evening of january 23d,. when High School made an excellent showing, especially in the longer distances. Major again loomed up brightly, securing two first places. Both the mile and half mile went to him, the time of the first being 4:57 3-5, and that of the second 2:13 4-5. High School won her first meet for the season on February 6th. Scholkow made a fine mark in the sixty yard dash covering the distance in 7 1-5 seconds. Major succeeded in capturing first place in the eight hundred and eighty yard run, at the same time lowering High School's previous record of 2109 to 2 208 4-5. The mile run also was won by Major, who cut oii' one and four-fifth seconds from his own record made in the P. S. A. L. games. Gilmore and Scholkow secured 'first and second places respectively in the three hundred yard dash. Major's -success continued and, in the Poly meet, he broke the record for the mile, captur- ing this event l11,4Z44 3-5, after a sharp struggle with Tallent of Brooklyn Prep. He also equaled the P. S. A. L. record in the half mile. The work of the team in the Hamilton Institute meet March 27th, again redounded to the glory of High School, the relay running, and Goulden's winning jump of 5 feet 7 inches. being the principal events of interest. 107 On April 3d, an event took place, the influence of which will probably affect greatly the future history of the track athletics of Boys' High School. An indoor inter-class meet was held for the first time since the origin of the school and met with great success. In all probability a solution has now been found for the difficult problem of getting fellows interested in track work. Results of the games even now may be plainly seen. Though late in the season, the squad has visibly increased and the interest which might otherwise have somewhat flagged has been rejuvenated. Next year it is expected that those men who shone most brilliantly in the inter-class games will take the places on the school team made vacant by graduation. Second place in the N. Y. U. meet was captured by B. H. S. on April 17th, Major again win- ning the eight hundred and eighty yard run. Second place in the one hundred and twenty yard high hurdles went to O'Leary who cleared the sticks in I7 4-5 seconds. Taylor accomplished the four hundred and forty yard dash in fine form, the time being 54 3-5 seconds. Goulden again made 5 feet 7 inches in the high jump, winning second place. Van Winkle showed up well, winning the fourth position in the two hundred and twenty yard dash, a race run in 23 4-5 seconds. On May 8th, inthe Erasmus meet, Major destroyed his former mark' for the mile run by clipping off two and two-fifth seconds, making the record 4:42 I-5. Second and third places in the four hundred and forty yard dash went to Taylor and Scholkow respectively, the winner, Sanford, of Manual, running in 52 4-5 seconds. On March 13th, the Olympic relay, first place in which was much coveted by all the schools of New York, fell the easy prey of B. H. S. Taylor and Major proved the main factors in the winning of this race, both finishing in fine style. . The title of champions of the P. S. A. L. was awarded to the members of the team upon their victory in the P. S. A. L. mile relay, March 2oth. The time, 3:39 2-5, shows full well what the team is capable of doing. The following week the combination captured another race and thus added one more cup to our overflowing trophy case. The mile relay of the N. Y. U. games fell also into our grasp and the medley relay in the Erasmus meet was won by the four in wonderful Qtime. VV hat High School will do in the remaining meets and especially in the P. S. A. L. outdoor championship games may be judged by the performances which she has al- ready accomplished this past year. Beyond doubt this year's is one of the best relay teams which High School has ever supported. Only two defeats have marred its long series of successes. and many of the marks which the team has made may well be the envy of our sister schools. 108 Track Team .-X. S. Goulden, Captain C. A.

The eleven of 1908 displayed a knowledge of the game which was lacking to a great degree in the 1907 aggregation. Practice started in the latter part of September, and, on October 17th, High School played its first game with Curtis High School. A weak backfield and inaccurate shooting were mainly responsible for the unsatisfactory result. Swan and Kennedy, however, made a splendid showing and were practically the mainstays of the team. A marked improvement was seen when High School met Manual Training's championship team the following week. This game was the most important one on High School's list and a victory would have meant much for B. H. S. Although a drizzling rain was falling it failed to dampen the enthusiasm of either eleven. Manual's heavy attack could not be resisted by High School's weak defense, a number of goals being thus scored. This contest, though on the whole much better than the one of Oc- tober I7th, brought to light many faults which needed radical attention. Steady practice and con- scientious work soon began to make themselves felt, so that when the day arrived for High School to battle with Commercial over fourth place in the P. S. A. L., the team was in good condition and showed excellent form. The first period of play ended without either, side scor- ing. In the second half, however, the continued attack of Commercials strong forward line broke through our defense and scored the only two goals of the contest. The game which Swan put up at cenfer half deserved special mention. His presence on the line of defense served as a mainstay to the team, the opposing forwards always finding him impregnable. Brid- getts, who has been elected captain for the season of IQOQ, also proved a source of power and showed many fine qualities. Great credit is due Mr. Rogers for his able coaching and untiring service. Inasmuch as soccer is a new sport in the school, it has as yet aroused but little interest among the student body as a whole. As it gradually takes its place, however. among the school sports. may it ever receive that enthusiastic support which has al- ways been accorded to the multiple other activities of ll. H. S., which has always characterized the student body of High School.

II2 Hockey NDOUBTEDLY the hockey team of 1908-1909 struggled against more disadvantages and inconveniences than any other seven in the history of the school. Because of the weather no ice was formed outdoors during the whole winter and St. Nicholas Rink proved the only available place in which to practice. This could be secured only on Saturday mornings between the early hours of 7 and 8 A, M, A5 a result the team was in no very fit condition to cross sticks wth other schools, and when the season closed, High School had three defeats marked against her. On january 9th, B. H. S. journeyed to Pawling, New York, to play the school located there. The contest, though interesting, ended in High School's first defeat. The score stood 2-2 after the regular forty minutes of play, so that an extra period was necessary to determine the game. Berner at point shot the deciding goal which gave Pawling the victory. The work of Bass and Campbell deserve special mention. Their Heetness and excellent stick work were the mainstays of the team. Two days later the wearers of the Red and Black met Cutler School. Naturally our combination again showed its lack of practice, Bass seemingly being the only one able to skate. It was he that shot both goals. Cutler did not appear to be in good form, letting slip by many chances of increasing the score. The worst defeat of the season came February IOl2ll when B. H. S. tackled Groff School's fast seven. Groff outplayed us at every turn and only once did High School threaten her opponent's goal. The two teams. however, both displayed excellent spirit, while the officals inflicted but two penalties. 'Groff's fleet center, Reid, gave a line exhibition of skating. Four of the live goals were due directly to him. This proved High School's last struggle, as the privilege of using the rink was revoked and no other place could be found. - A Next year will bring four of the team back to school, when, if jack Frost gets busy, B.

In the first place almost every member of last year's championship team returned to school, thus making this season's twelve practicallyaveteran combination. The interest aroused by Manager Hauser's fine schedule, moreover, acted as a stimulus to hard work and so increased the chances of success. B. H. S. met Townsend-Harris High School on April 17th in the first game of the year. High School's victory, for such it proved to be, showed the strength of our team. A week later Manual lowered its banner to us. In this contest Bass on the defense guarded our goal so well that all the efforts of Manual's heavy forwards to break through and tally were in vain. On May 8th the strong Columbia Freshmen team was defeated in a fast, exciting contest, by the score of 4 to 0. The Red and Black's greatest triumph came May 15th when the twelve traveled to West Point and trounced the Army's combination. Bass, Dean and Caruthers starred for B. H. S. and their work brought forth much applausef Harmon and Arnold, both old Boys' High men, were the mainstays of the Army. As a number of our veteran players will return to school again next year, there can be no reason why High School should not again produce a winning team. ' Lacrosse Team of 1909 R.

To awaken interest a tournament was held during the latter 54,33 3.32 part of June, 1908. Major finished without a defeat and Browne succeeded in getting second position. This year the management arranged a short schedule and the first match was played with Manual. A defeat for High School resulted. In the singles Fishel of Manual Training defeated Mclllvare, B. H. S.. 6-I, 6-4. Fishel also overcame llrowne by winning both sets ,6-2, 6-2. Greig and May, in the doubles, lost to Rooney and Hendricson, Manual, 6-2, 4-6, 8-6. On May 15th High School met and triumphed over Flushing. The sets were veryinteresting especially the ones wherein Mclilvare was entered. He playerl in a fast, accurate manner, and easily con- quered his opponents. Browne captured both sg-ts in the singles. 6-2, 6-4. McElvare was equally fortunate, defeating his opponent 6-2. 7-5. McMichael and Greig of B. H. S. won the doubles, 8-6, 8-6. ' It is to be hoped that next year this branch of athletics will receive sufficient attention and arouse sufficient interest to insure Boys' High turning out as successful a team in tennis as in any of its various lines of athletics.

S. success, probably because of the fact that so few fellous took much interest in the sport. Yet a slight advance was made over the results of last year. In 1908 only twenty-five fellows qualified for Eagle medals and only four were fortunate enough to secure sharpshooters' badges. This year thirty-three Eagle medals have been won, an increase of eight, and five students have Gun Team made perfect scores. The Hrst shoot of the season was scheduled with Curtis High School at Staten Island. High School there met the first of four defeats. The following week Erasmus outshot us by four points. In the match between Manual and High School, a great improvement was shown on the part of B. H. S. Manual's almost perfect score, however, placed ours in the background. The results of the shoot at Madison Square Garden were decidedly disappointing to the school, High School finishing at the foot of the list. It is hoped that the gun team will brace up when it shoots at Creedmoor this summer and make a score worthy of itself and the school. . Gun Team of 1909 C. F. Nicol, Capmin C. M. Ernst, Manager W.

After a great deal of trouble, the manager secured a tank in which to practice, work being started at once. Under the able leadership of Harold Halstead we defeated St. Paul's strong water-polo team as well as capturing several other meets. The following winter Hull, who had been elected captain, left school, and as it was impos- sible to find any kind of a tank, the team disbanded. This year Manager Swiggett received permission from the faculty of St. Iohn's College to use the tank connected with that school. A fine schedule was arranged which High School has very successfully completed. Out of eight meets, four were won. The team established a number of new records which merit special attention. The one game that 'Lhe water-polo team played was with St. john's Prep., resulting in a victory for B. H. S. Swimming N 1907 a new sport was added to High School's curriculum, namely, swimming.

Three or four years ago a team com- posed of Randy Sides and Bill Campbell won the championship of the city. After that no active part was taken by the fellows in handball until last year when William Heyliger and Victor Stern took this sport up again and tried hard to make it a recog- nized factor in the P. S. A. L., though without avail. Twenty-four fellows responded to the call for candidates in October, 1908-a very good showing since only four were to be chosen. Only one match was played and that was not finished. The greatest' handicap to our team was the lack of a regulation court. The game with E. D. H. S. had to be played on the campus court, against a house. This year, however, we were fortunate enough to secure a court that is the best in the city, although situated in Bay Ridge, at 85th Street and Fifth Avenue. Thus far, live matches have been played, Boys' High Winning three and losing two. The team is now eligible to meet Brooklyn College Prep. for the championship of the city. lVith sufficient practice and support our chances are excellent. Stern will meet O'Reilly, the unbeaten member of the Prep's team, for the championship in singles. Handball Team of 1909 V. Stern, Captain and Acting Manager M. Baldinger, Manager ' S.
