A constitution was framed and adopted, and officers were elected. They were Winston MacNamara, president, Marion Whipple, vicefpresidentg Ruth Harrison, secretaryg William Allen, treasurerg and Marion Thorne, director of social activities. Under the guidance of these leaders a very successful term was enf joyed. The following year the class elected its officers for the Senior year. The results of a very interesting election were William Allen, president, Marion Whipple, vice' presidentg Ruth Harrison, secretaryg Jack Wesche, treasurer, and Dorothy Turner, social activity director. A most enjoyable social program was outlined. The Class Frolic, Pig Tail Day, a joint enterprise with Class Seven, and the MidfYear Prom were some of the events. It was necessary during the early part of the term for Jack Wesche to resign his office, because of the press of other duties. George Dikeman was appointed to H11 the vacancy of the treasurer's position. The class has been successful mainly through the splendid cofoperation of all its members. Mrs. Csman, as class adviser, has most ably and efficiently performed her task The class feels that to her they will never repay the great debt for her untiring kindness and service in helping them realize no excellence without labor, Ruth Harrison '26 T H E P E N Fifteen Wheeler eige Speakers !

December 4th, was a big day for classes 7 and 8, despite the fact that everyone, even the sixffooters, was trying to look as small as possible. Nearly everyone blushed his way to school arrayed in little UQ romf pers, and all lugging toys. Many other strange and wonderful sights were seen, such as ferocious migrants from the zoo and innumerable Pigtailers in miniature. After an exciting day of breathless hilarif ty, all de li'l chillun adjourned to the asf sembly hall to bewhoop and bewail the un' believably kiddish antics of some of their classmates. Luckily the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe had good big feet, so the crowd had a fine large treat. Gaudy Harf lequin conducted the fun, and the ballet of dainty Coumbine and her sextet of rolf licking clowns produced a good laugh. After making everyone's mouth water with a basket of luscious pears and peaches, Harlequin dismissed the class to the gym for a gay parade and dance. That night the children went to bed tired and slept happily ever after. Qmiur jfrnlics CLASS 6 The newly organized Class 6 had its first getftogether on Friday evening, December 19, 1924, at the frolic. The gym was gayly decked out with artistic Christmas fixins and looked very smart, bordered with snowf flecked evergreens and crimson bells. Things were late getting started, as usual, but this class had at least one orif ginal excuse, namely, the orchestra was slightly inconvenienced by the lack of a pianist, an exigency which was met, rather poorly to be sure, by the opportune arrival of a voluntee pianofdrummer. Interspersed with the dancing were some stunts which were, literally, simply riotous. These stunts afforded a fine study in com' parisons, for one appeared to be an exf periment in surgery or vivisection, while another was designed to display the pugf nacity of a certain little lad CLouis Pagetj, a la show motion. The snowfball shower and fight could not cool the warm spirits of anybody, and all agreed in commending the social comf mittee for the fine success of its opening enterprise. U . CLASS 8 QThis is an excerpt from the diary of Allen Dikeman, B. H. S., Military Acad' emyj. Yesterday saw the big doings in camp. It seems that a small detachment of the enemy fClass 7'sj entered the lines in dis' guise, but this emergency was waylaid with but little firing on either side. The two battalions fboys and girlsj con- versed in the clubroom and held brief conf sultation with theri superior officers-chap' erones. By order of the latter, the drummer' boy and his assistants were transferred to a station in the corridor, and both the aforef said battalions adjourned for drill in tacf tics. In the intermission a specially appointed patrol gave a highly instructive exhibition of fmilitaryj calisthenics invaluable to the success of this particular army. After more tactics for several clockfticks, messfcall was sounded and heartily ref sponded to. Pfrjetty oH'icers and their aides attended to the serving. When taps sounded, delayed until eleven as a special concession, the camp fell into deep silence, broken only by salutes of muf tual congratulation for a successful day. Thirtyfsix T H E P E N Glass tunic Class 7 put in an order for a fine Monf day, June 22, and fortunately the order was filled, to a The busses were to leave at ten, so according to varied ideas of etiquette some came around nine and others about tenffive. However, the early birds were not bored, for Class 8 was there for graduation rehearsal, and there was much to talk about. Finally they were offitwo Hbussesfulf' It certainly was a big loud day for Bridge' port as they sailed across Main Street and sped along Water. Most everyone shrieked and sang, or both, all the way to Lake Zoar, their destination, but no one seemed tired. The first thing on the program was bath' ing in the river for any who wished it. There was much gurgling and splashing and, interfiningled with tnese, a little actual swimming. The beauty of the whole thing was that no one had to do anything. All were per' fectly free. Some groups took walks, others played at baseball, or simply enjoyed themf selves talking. Then, too, Cld Sol was greatly delighted to share his warmth and brilliant hue with the ambitious oarsmen of Class 7, B. H. S. Of course everyone, after due considerf ation, had provided himself with a lunch. The chaperones, a jolly bunch of teachers and friends of the Seniors, were served by a class committee in Mrs. Codard's cute 8 by 8 kitchen. The day was perfect, as was everything else. and when at last everyone scurried to the busses for the home trip, all seemed happy enough. There was some slight def 'ay waiting for a stray quartet in a row' boat, but finally the start was made and B ll Y as reached once more. The class owes a great deal for this jolly occasion to the lively efforts of the social committee and Mrs. Csman, and to the pep of the members at large. 5 2.2-X X fy l my M at 0101111 ' f , 4 Q iff 20,0 Q , ze' PN O6 329 6? 22? - . .'

He has proved somewhat literary, Qby the way, he's Editor-infchief of the Criterf ionj. Moreover, he is an Afl cartoonist. ln the way of honors, besides scholarship he has had the treasureship of his class and of the A. A. Not so worse, eh? MILDRED KETCHAM is one of the jolly few who combine charm, ability, and good sense. She emigrated from Kossuth and got her start playing duets in the P. M. assembly. Since then she's been going some, even to bobbing her distinctive ringlets. Oh Mil! Those curls! -But you're a peach anyway, and if the world treats you as you have treated High, then you'll go far. BUS REDGATE, unfortunately chrisf tened John for purposes of inconvenience, certainly has lit up old Hilltop by his mas' terly football game. He also can make good use of his pedes on the bassfdrum -ask anybody who attended the Class 6 frolic 'way last year. Then, too, he has made a mighty ine member of the social committee, endangering his life for decoraf tions and whatfnot. GEORGE DIKEMAN was first dis- covered in the misty region of Black Rock in july, 1909 - a second Halley comet, only more modest. His fame rests upon his splendid scholarship which he brought to B. H. S. after traversing the dim Elysian fields of Congress High. He also acquired a very handy taste for committee work. As so often repeated, Dike is serious and gave until-he gets started. Then, strange and marvelous as it may seem to those who know him not, you can't help but be afraid he'll laugh himself to death. DOROTHY TURNER. You'd never think, would you, that Dorothy Turner actually ascended the steps of fame by way of a stepfladder? It all came about in her junior year when she served on the Social Committee of the class. When she had proved herself so capable in the position, the class elected to have her the chairman of all social events for Senior year. Dorothy 21150 has much artistic ability, and all in all we feel that our social successes have been due to her charming and efficient manner of executing affairs. KATHERINE MILLS is small but oh my! She sprang into prominence early, in fact, won her way to the glistening goal of popularity by writing a stirring track meet song to the tune of Loves Old Sweet Song. It may not have been that song, but anyway the sentiment is there. In Senior year she served on the Crinds Committee, and even that did not lessen her popularityy What would we have done without her? RUTH HARRISON. In the year of 1922 a bright little star trinkled into the heavens of the Freshman Class. It was called Ruth Harrison. Immediately, she was elected to the heartfrendering and backfbreaking position of room leader, and for four long years she has held that lofty position. In addition to her literary, athf letic, and class activities, she is not a grind, but she is a good student, she is not a grouch, but has a very keen, and highly developed sense of humor, and after all this, she really does find time for eating. By the way, she is on the Class 8 Banquet Committee. Tres a propos, n'estfce pas? ROLAND KEATINC, star of the first magnitude. In fact, the very mention of this new Betelgeuse switches one's mind to football like a flash. He started, like Hercules, by successfully tackling everyf thing in sight from the time he could creep. As captain of our never fWell, hardly everlj defeated team, he won the enviable position of membership in the state eleven. His motto is How? -but he's not talking about football.

This was the last opportunity of the c.ass of 'QSM to meet together socially as students of Bridgeport High School, and it was a great success. Many friends of the class had been invited. An interesting program was arranged with Mr. Reed, a most entertaining talker, as principal speaker. There were, also, many other noteworthy speeches and short addresses. Moreover, the class will and the class prophecy, always sources of much enjoyment and amusement, were read. Then, the program included a surprise or two. Last but not least, a snappy orchestra was acquired which not only played dance music, but also old favorites. After the banquet, dancing continued until 12 p. m. Charlie Kvantz 19211 Qlcknumlwgmzut Since the publication of the Commence' ment Pen is really a new undertaking each year, it entails an especially great amount of work.

Fmyffwo T H E P E N EXECUTIVE BOARD OF JUNE CLASS OF 1926 Zum Qillass nf 1926 The june Class of 1926 was organized in the spring of 1925 under the direction of Miss Helen Lockwood, class adviser. The Class Frolic was given in May and proved a success as a substitute for the traditional Junior Prom. The next month the CQass Picnic was held at Lordship, and again the Class proved its ability to arrange saccessful social affairs. The Hallowe'en Frolic, however, was the best of all. An evening of entertainment and dancing in the gym, the night before Halloween, was especially enjoyable be' cause of the excellent costumes, decoraf tions, and refreshments. The officers which were elected for the cass last fall are as follows: Clarence Barber, president, Elsa Lawson, vicefpresident, Albert Coles, treasurerg Peggy Hayes, secretary, and Mae Wilsea, director of social activities. Harmon S. Strauss '26 NOIHELLIHO OH CIHV v T H E P E N Fovtyfthree Fortyffour T H E PEN 1113192 Qtriterinn At the beginning of the present school year many difficulties confronted the Crif terion Board. The greater part of the Board was new and inexperienced. The school was being run under the new full time session plan, thus giving much less time for work on the paper. The faculty adviser was new to most of the Board, alf though she had been the adviser in l923f 1924. But these difficulties have been more than overcome by the splendid work and cofoperation of everybody concerned. During the year of her absence from school, the adviser, Miss Fairbanks, had taken a course in journalism, and with this added experience she has proved to be inf valuable as an aid and helper. The Board has grown rapidly and has been only too willing to work in the col' lection of news. A more rigid system of marking has been used so that each menif ber must do a certain amount of work in order to stay on the Board. The Criterion has also enjoyed a sucf cessful term financially. Due to the skil- ful managing of Robert Coldberger, busif ness manager, a comfortable surplus has been accumulated in the treasury, the larf gest for sometime. Because of the faith' ful work of David Fodeman, the circulaf tion of the paper has been well attended FO. The aim of the Criterion this last term has largely been to give a clear and true reflection of school life and spirit. In at' tempting to accomplish this, it has been greatly aided by the cofoperation of the student body. At this time we should like to thank all who have so generously helped with the Criterion, especially our advisers, Miss Fairbanks and Dr. Sides. jack Wesche The The place of the Pen as a literary pub' lication of B. H. S. has been well estabf lished by former members. It is just this reputation that the personnel of this year's board is trying to uphold and to improve. Two new features, uFreshmen Section and The Alumni Pen , have been added to the enjoyment of all. Several very inf teresting letters have come from our alumni in college, and the freshmen have contrif buted not only storiettes but real poems too. Nor should we forget to mention the clever work of our new art editor. The Pen has many persons to thank for 19211 its success this year-first, the faculty ad' visers Miss Mary Ward and Dr. Arthur C. Sides, the literary and business boards, and the entire student body for their help and cofoperation. The personnel of the board is as folf lows: Miss Mary Ward, adviser, Dr. Arthur C. Sides, financial adviser, Ruth B. Rock, editorfinfchief, Marion Beck, and Laura Bent, associate editors, Norman Sprague, business manager, and a large number of students on the literary and business boards. Ruth B.

Qur one and only meeting was held December fourth and was enjoyed by all.

Since the League stands for service, efficiency, good cheer, and good will towards everyone, it is only natural that each year in addition to the established customs new projects should be undertaken by the girls, thereby distributing the beneits of the League more widely. The keynote of the League is serviceg that is the motive behind every effort. Every new project is care' fully planned out so that it may be acf complished satisfactorily, and so that the girls engaged in it may derive instruction and pleasure from it. Moreover, each time a committee is formed special care is taken to give capable girls who have not already been actively engaged in the work an opf portunity to do so. The willingness and ability with which the girls of the school meet every task is a constant revelation to people interested in B. H. S. Early in Cctober the Freshmen-junior Receptions were held to welcome the Class of '29 to our school. Undoubtedly the memory of those two enjoyable parties will linger in the school for some time. Another important factor in the life of the freshiesn this year is the organization of the Big Sisters. Already this group of Seniors has done a great deal towards helping our freshman girls to become esf tablished in this immense place. The secf ond and revised edition of the Key was published in the beginning of the term. This little handbook has proved itself so valuable that the publication of it is a regf ular part of the League's program. It may be well to mention here the G. S. L. colf umn in the Criterion through which medif um the members are definitely informed concerning the moves of the League. Our social service work furnishes an out' let for a great deal of energy. Although this year at Thanksgiving there was not such a large number of girls in school as there has formerly been, yet the baskets have never before been more bountifully filled or more attractive. Those seventy baskets all together certainly were a sight to feast one's eyes upon. The combined services of the Allingtown Club and the Social Service Club of 104 did much to cheer the soldiers at Allingtown. At this time a group of girls visited the hospital and brought with them gifts and hand' made Thanksgiving place cards. Much work of this sort is being done by these two clubs right along. This year the League has also been asked to afliliate with the Story Tellers and the Service Club of lOS. Not least in importance is the social ace tivities department. Under the direction of this branch come our G. S. L. assemblies. During National Girl Scout Week a special assembly was held to help us realize that the G. S. L. and the G. S. are work' ing on the same basis. Several delightful and informal parties have been given in Room 1 under the direction of a committee in charge. At least one affair of this kind is planned for each month. Cur big project for the year, namely, the managing of a series of moving picture performances to be held in the school, is well started. The proceeds from this unf dertaking are to be turned over to the Student Loan Fund, and the support of everyone in the school is needed to carry out this program. The League is exceedingly grateful to Mr. Moore and the members of the faculty, and particularly to its adviser, Miss Grant, for the valuable interest and kind en' couragement always shown it. Elsa Lawson '26 f--1' '22 la J Fifty THE PEN THE P E N Fiftyfone The Big Sisters Qmganigatiun Year after year, the Freshmen girls have entered B. H. S., and for a week or so, the Senior girls have shown them around the building and explained a few things to them. A little later, the Freshmen Recepf tion is held to acquaint the lower class with the social side of B. H. S. This year howf ever, the Freshmen have their class adviser and in addition, Big Sisters who are really interested in them and in their work. The Big Sisters Crganization was formed for the purpose of helping the Freshmen girls in every way possible and of getting the younger class interested in B. H, S., in its activities and its studies. Freshmen come and Freshmen go, and many of them leave B. H. S. because no one cares what they do, or how they do anything and that is just what the Big Sisters are here for, to show each Freshf man that there is somebody interested, her Big Sister is interested! Every Tuesday the Big Sisters meet in Room 1 to talk over Freshmen problems. Elsa Lawson, chairman, presides with Miss Grant close by and together they try to solve all problems brought up. The faculty of B, H. S. has cofoperated splendidly in solving the many problems. Thus far, the organization has proved a success and it is the hope of many that it will continue to be a success and become an established organization in B. H. S. Rose Schmidt '26, Sec. X L 115192 Gdsbers Quilts' For several years the demands made upon the High School for ushering have steadily increased until now they include everything from selling and collecting tickets at the movie performances, straight through the ist of dramatic productions and commencement exercises, to distribuf ting programs at the Bridgeport Oratorio concerts. Last year a committee formulated a plan of an ushers' organization, to he known as the Ushers Guild, whose purpose should be to have a wellftrained group of girls to usher at all school affairs. The group is chosen equally from Classes 7 and 8, by Miss Grant, Mr. Moore, the two class advisers, the President of the League, and the two class vicefpresidents, who act as head ushers. Membership in the Guild is honorary, as only those who average 80 or more in scholarship are eligible. Members from Class 6 are chosen in time to fill the places of the graduating ushers, and these serve for the first time at commencement. The work of the Guild is very truly work. However, the enjoyment and benef fits of it offset its serious side very agree' ably. Fiftyffwo T H B P E N SCHCLARSHIPLEADERSHIP PINS, CLASSES 4, S AND 6 Gbiniteb Qtthin Qliluh Qlinarhs As a result of a plan formulated by the United Civic Clubs of Bridgeport those students in B. H. S. who display qualties of scholarship and leadership combined are now receiving special recognition. Pins are awarded to the pupils thus recognized, although the number must not exceed ive per cent. of the school. The various teachers in charge of active ities nominate those pupils whom they conf sider leaders and rank them as A, B, and C, according to the degree of leadership they display. This includes session room and class room teachers as well as those adf vising student organizations. From this group the committee selects those showing the highest form of leaderf ship, provided they meet the scholastic ref quirements. In order to qualify under the scholastic requirement a pupil must obtain an average grade of 80 with no mark be' low passing. The pins thus awarded are worn during the following semester. Sopohmores are given bronze pinsg Juniors, silver, and Seniors, gold onesg these must be returned at the close of each semester. If a Senior is awarded a gold pin at the time of grad' uation, it becomes his permanent posses' sion. The following members of the faculty form the committee in charge of these awards: Mrs. Batchelder Mr. Moore Mr. Coley Mrs. Osman Miss Gilhuley Mrs, Rice Miss Honnecker Miss Grant Miss Ladd Mr. Fiske Miss Lewis Dr. Sides M.

Madame has taught us Under the guidance of Mme. Hawes, her French classes have tried very hard to organize a new French Club. At first we encountered the difficulty of crowded con- ditions caused by our new school system. We discovered that there was no period in which we could all meet at the same time. However, this problem was solved by dividing the club into two sections. Now classes 7 and 8 meet Tuesdays, while class' es 5 and 6 meet Fridays in the 3rd period. In spite of this great difliculty, the club has been formed and has incited much enf thusiasm and interest among the French students. The meetings are held every some lively and amusing games, and some of our fellowfmembers have presented hum' orous little skits. In the future, we hope to become more fully organized, so that we may give asf semblies at least once a month. Although we have not accomplished all that we had planned to do, we feel that the French Club has afforded us a great deal of pleas' ure, as well as aided us in acquiring flu' ency in the French language, and made us realize that France is a real country of real people, rather than just a map. Betty Tlfwall '26 Tlllbe in In the fall of 1925 the Latin Club was formed by the Latin classes of the entire school, and this organization promises to be one of the most flourishing in B. H. S. The purpose of the club is to give the members a fuller understanding of Rome, and the Romans as they actually were, and to contradict the prevalent impression that Latin is a udeadn language in all senses of the word. A novel method of organization is being followed. The oflicers include two conf suls, a quaestor, and a scribe. The class representatives are known as praetors, tin Qtluh while the program committee consists of four aediles. Several excellent programs have already been presented. A chorus has been formed, and Latin songs are sung at the meetings. Plans are being made to present a series of short Latin plays in the near future. Talks on the life and customs of the Ro' mans are given frequently. Although this club is still young, its membership is large and steadily increasf ing, and it has already awakened the Latin students to the interesting and enjoyable side of the life of the Romans. Diu vivatl jack Monahan '26 fdllbt Qregg Qllluh There are many organizations in B. H. S. and most of them are well known. This club, though perhaps not as well known as most of the others, is quite exclusiveg its members must know how to write shorthand and must receive a grade of S5 QQ in it, on report cards. This club was founded to promote good shorthand writing and accuracy in writing it. Miss Ladd, its adviser, sees that its purpose is carried out. It is not a case of all work and no play,. however. Every month during the winter, there is at least one party and during the spring and summer months, there are hikes and beach parties. Let us hope that in the future years it will become better known, for its purpose is one of the best. HITIO JWVLS T H E P E N Fiftyffve Fifvyfsix T H E P E N V., DEBATING CLUB THE P E N Fiftyfseven 7111132 Eehattug Qtluh When, at the beginning of the year, the Debating Club, its membership diminished greatly by graduation and by the opening of the Warren Harding High School, sent out a call for candidates for membership, the school responded nobly. Crganization officers Were elected: President, Henry Hartman, VicefPresif dent, Albert Coles, Secretary, Jack Novvitzg Treasurer, Joshua Lang. Early in the season a letter was received from the Wesleyan Alumni Association concerning the subject for the Wesleyan Triangular Debate. After some corresf pondence between the schools concerned, the subject chosen Was: Resolved That the Coal Mines of the United States Be Placed Under Federal Control. Control was defined as meaning the same kind of conf trol that the Interstate Commerce Com' mission has over the railroads, and Coal Mines was limited to Anthracite coal mines. Under the leadership of the Pro' gram committee, consisting of Albert Coles, chairman, john Monahan, Harmon Strauss, and Abraham Kaplovvitz, a number of inf teresting debates were held on the aforef mentioned topic, as tryouts for the Wes' leyan team Many thanks are due Mrs. Pryor for her invaluable help, concerning the technicalities of debating, given to the members of the various teams. Besides the Wesleyan team tryouts many other enjoyable programs were held. Due to the cofoperation of Mrs. Pryor, the Oili- mem' memf work is bef duplif cers, the program committee, and the bers, and due to the fact that every ber has taken an active part in the of the club, a most successful season ing enjoyed which we hope will be cated by future clubs. Henry Hartman l26, President Tlllbt Qllbt The purpose of the Checker Club is to afford entertainment to lovers of that anf cient game, checkers. Here, superior stu' dents of the game may meet students of equal caliber, and so better their game. Here, beginners learn to play thoughtfully and carefully, and soon develop into the higher class of players. The officers of the club are: Edmund Smith, president, Margaret Crzag, vicefpresidentg Lewis Rosenfelt, treasurer, and Robert Goldberger, manager. Mr. McKee, is the club adviser. The team representing the school conf sists of experienced and clever players. A that Qtluh proof of their ability is the 24W to '7W defeat administered to Congress High School, and they will, doubtlessly, win all the games of their schedule which includes Warren Harding High, Hillhouse Prep, the Faculty team, and the Alumni. Bridgeport High School has the only girl checker team in the state. The girls are fast learning the tricks of the game, and Will, surely, soon challenge the boys' team for the school championship. Much credit is due Mr. McKee for the success of this club. He gave much of his valuable time to it. Charlie Kvantz N -. Fiftyfeight .- ff ,f THE PEN 5, I f x 1, A'- ' 343 1 4 1' V 1 oc-'I' I M.

H. S. is the Players Club. In the spring, a Sen' ior play is given in cofoperation with the Senior classg in the fall, it cofoperates with the Musical Clubs in producing an opera, while in the winter months all the members combine their efforts in making the Prize Play Contest a success. One year and a half ago, due to the great interest in the drama and in playf writing shown by the students in the Eng' lish Department, the Players Club def cided to hold a Prize Play Contest. The entire student body might compete, and each year the number of plays submitted increases. This year there were thirty. The entire contest is conducted by the students. The plays are written, directed, designed, and costumed by them, with Mrs. Pryor as general adviser. This contest is viewed from all sides with much interest because it is such an unusual undertaking for a high school club. Four prizes in money are awarded for the best written plays which this year are to be given to the following: Beezniss is Beeznissv ......,..,..

Rosema Jasmin A theatre party is to be given to the entire staff of the play which wins the production. At the request of Mrs. Pryor, who is studying at Yale with Prof. George Pierce Baker, the following members of the Yale Dramatic Department were recommended by Prof. Baker as judges of the contest: Mr. Covington Littleton of Hollywood and Pasedena, Cal., Prof. Morris Guesen, Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse Uni' versity, and Miss Hortense Moore, a teachf er of English and Director of Dramatics in Messoula, in the University of Montana. Thus each year the Players Club pref sents a Senior play of literary merit, a conf test of original plays, and cofoperates in producing a worthfwhile operag all are made very successful by the hearty cofopf eration of the adviser, Mrs. Pryor, its members and officers who are: President, Philip Fioccag VicefPresident, Mildred Ketchamg Recording Secretary, Adeline Kinderg Corresponding Secretary, Ruth Goldfarbg Treasurer, Albert Colesg Chairman of Program Committee, Bernice Humphrey, Publicity Manager, Harmon Strauss.

Within the last year it has grown in size, far beyond any ex' pectations, and now embraces all the phyf sical education activities of the girls at B. H. S. This fall the major sports were soccer and volley ball, over 100 girls joined these groups, tennis matches took place, and a group of girls were given the opportunity to learn to ride horseback. ' Of course, basketball is the most popular of all sports. Beginners, advanced and var' sity players alike, thronged to the gym to learn to play the game, and a most successful season is now underway. Close to basketball in its growth and popularity, comes the winter sports of bowling, and this year beside the weekly contests we are having three interfclass bowling matches. Out of the advancement of sports for girls grew the idea of a division in the school, and keener rivalry between the teams. And now we have the Red and Black Girls. At present, all the even classes belong to the 'LReds , and all the odd classes belong to the Blacks Each side has a banner, and each side is working to earn the right through their matches, through their summer tournament games, and through their gym work, to have their banner the one to fly on top next term.

The second game was with the much stronger team of the Greenwich High School. Bridgeport High won this game by the score of 13-MO. The next was with Manhattan Prep. of New York, and was one of the hardest games of the season. This game was enf couraging from every standpoint and the decided superiority of the varsity gave Coach Reilly an opportunity to get a line on the ability of most of the squad. The team showed power, versatility, and a strong defense, and the standard of the play was unusually good. Bridgeport def feated the New Yorkers 7-0. Bridgeport High won her fourth consecuf tive victory by defeating South Manchester by the score of 14-O. Cne of the mainf stays of this game was Blasbalg, a second string man, previous to this game, who dashed fortyfhve yards for the first touchf down. A week later Bridgeport invaded the Brass City, playing Crosby High. The weather wasn't all that anyone could have desired. It was one of those cold, bleak, rainy days of October. The field was slip' pery, due to the steady downpour of rain, which continued throughout the entire game. ' Crosby started with a rush and had the B. H. S. team braced and held them. In the latter part of the game Captain Keatf ing was injured, but despite his injuries he remained until the final whistle. Bridge' port won by the score of 7-O. The shinf ing light of this game was Varrone, the dashing little quarterfback, who played a most spectacular game. On October 31, the Bulkely High of New London provided the opposition at Newfield Park. Bulkely, having a fairly good team, had all hopes shattered for the State Championship, after Bridgeport def feated her 20-6. It was, however, in this game that Cap' tain Keating fractured his shoulder, and was forced to leave the game for the first time. His injuries, unfortunately, also kept him from the game the following week with the City College Junior Varsity of New York. On Saturday, November 7, the City Col' lege Junior Varsity were the entertainers at Bridgeport. Bridgeport entered the game minus its captain. Despite this han' dicap the team fought well, but being out' played and outweighed by their opponents, were defeated for the hrst time. Chaiklin gave a remarkable exhibition of his def fensive ability by stopping the visitor's big fullback. To lose 20-6, was, of course, disheartening, but the team gave evidence of much latent power, and, won or lost, the last half of the game showed that the team was still fighting. The third trip was to Brooklyn. Cap' tain Keating returned to the field in this game, and his presence in the line put more fight in the defeated team. There is no doubt that Bridgeport was outplayed and were forced to grant New Utrecht that her team wasffjust better than ours, impossible as it may seem. It was clean sport, how' ever, and we do not begrudge New Utrecht the victory, which ended by a score of l9f6. The annual finalfseason spectacle of Stamford vs, B, H. S. was staged on Nov' ember 21, before a record crowd of three thousand five hundred. The game was a struggle between two evenly matched teams, although it might have been said that Stamford had an edge on Bridgeport. The result was a O-O tie. The varsity outplayed the visitors until the final period, when Stamford opened their deadly over' head attack. But it might be called to the reader's attention, that out of the nineteen forward passes attempted by Stamford, only four were successful. In the fourth quarter, Chaiklin interf cepted a forward pass and ran to Stamf ford's five yard line. At this point Bridge' port was unable to push the ball over the line. Stamford again gained possession of the ball and Scalzi, the most outstanding player of Stamford's team, pointed the ball out of danger. Thus in spite of many obstacles and un' avoidable conditions did the team bring to an end one of the most successful footf ball seasons which Bridgeport High School had enjoyed in recent years. To Coach Reilly. Mr. Wilmot T. Fiske, athletic adviser, Manager Cohen, and to all the squad is due the thanks of the school and its congratulations for the results of their effort. john C.
