THE NUGGET Athletic Association President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer .Burton Lamscha -Clarence Decker Harry Haenigsen .Donald DeLazier HIS year has been a rather active one for the Athletic Association. At meetings held a short time after school started, sub-treas- urers for the different classes were elected and these immediately got to work. A set of boxing gloves were purchased for the use of the members of the association. Also work was started on the field in back of the school, the plan being to clear it off, grade it and make a baseball diamond and running track. Up to this time, the level- ing of the field has not been completed, but a good start has been made and it is to be hoped that sometime in the near future Butler High School will have an athletic field of which to be proud. Another important thing done this year by the association was the granting of uni- versal suffrage to the female members of this High School. This was adopted after some discussion by the male members and carries with it all the regular privileges of a member, including the payment of the monthly dues. Money has been brought into the treasury by the A. A. Dance, held at the Emanuel Einstein Library, at Pompton Lakes, and by a plan suggested by some of the Seniors, that of selling tags for admis- sion to baseball games. These have in- creased the amount paid in as dues. Taken all in all, this has been a very successful year for the Athletic Associa- tion. X Letters have been earned by the follow- ing members of the school teams: TRACK TEAM—Leo Rowe, Burton Lamscha, Albert Falk, Richard Rowe, Harold Dobbs.

Isn’t there any place when I can sleep?” “Don’t know of any unless you want to go and lie in the road bed.” Science Question: What is the use of a bean? And name its principal parts. There was a young teacher called Jane, Who taught with her whole might and main. The kids learned so much That their heads darn near bust, ’Cause they were too small for their brain. 2G

THE NUGGET Basketball HE opening of the season 1917- 1918 found B. H. S. represented on the basketball court by an en- tirely new team. Capt. Decker was the only player of last year’s squad to remain with the team. Of the three sea- sons of basketball in B. H. S. this season was the most successful.

The games, for the most part, were played in a sportsmanlike manner, and in- teresting to the large crowds that attended them. Capt. Decker, L. Rowe, Haenigsen, De- Lazier and Mgr.
