THE' ACADEMIAN Sport eason Comes to Successful Close At the time that this report goes to press, it looks as though our baseball team is due for another championship cup. Out of the two remaining games to be played, they have to win only one to cinch the league. The remaining games are with Seneca Falls and Ge- neva, both of which have already fallen before the mighty bats of the Cherry and Gray team. As for the past two years, Joe Musso- lino is doing more than his share to- ward bringing Canandaigua the cup. In five games heihas struck out 57 men. This is no small record in any man's league. One very seldom hears of a high school pitcher with such a record. Out of six games, he has pitched three shutouts which is another piece of work that he can be justly proud of. 'Canandaigua started out the season against Penn Yan, who they downed 9-0. The next foe on the schedule was Seneca Falls. We had all heard a great deal about the strength of the Mynderse team. Canandaigua won this game 10-0. all -of which proves that the Acad- emy team is no weak one. Waterloo was the next team to face the local moundsm-en. Canandaigua emerged the winner in this battle, 5-4. The game with our traditional rivals, Ge- neva, didn't turn out to be very excit- ing. Geneva donned the can of defeat, giving up six runs to Canandaigua while they were only able to bring in two. Starting in on our second round of the league, We again faced Waterloo and again took the game, 5-0. Back to the beginning of the schedule. Penn Yan tasted defeat again as Canandaigua came home with a two-run margin, the score being 6-4. This is as far as our baseball season has gone thus far and these men along with their coach, Frank Baker, have set up a swell record that is going to be hard to beat. Turning now to another athletic squad, we take up the tennis team. So far this team has played five games and has three more to go. The teams re- maining to be played are Manchester, Shortsville and Penn Yan. These games will be played at a future date after this column has gone to press. The teams that they have met thus far are Geneva at Canandaigua with Canan- daigua coming out the winner, 4-1. Shortsville at Canandaigua was the next which the local team also Won 3-2. The Hrst team to defeat the Cherry and Gray squad was Penn Yan, who won the game, 4-1. Coming back into the winning light, Canandaigua took over Gen-eva to the tune of 4-1. The only other loss suffered so far was taken from the hands of the Manchester team, the score being 3-2. Now to the last department to be taken up-the track team coached by Mr. Linderman. These boys started out the season in a 'triangle meet. The teams that took part in this meet were from Penn Yan, Palmyra and Canan- daigua. Penn Yan took first honors with Canandaigua a close second and Palmyra third. Canandaigua came out fourth in a four team meet at Brighton. Brighton came in first, then IjIi1t0I1, Webster and Canandaigua. Their last meet they also lost. They ran against Geneva with the latter coming out the winner. They have yet to run in the sectionals and against Clyde. This about winds up our sports pro- gram for the year. All in all as far as athletics go it hasn't been a very bad year. Our soccer team reached the sec- tionals, our basketball team ended its season in a tie for first place and now our spring teams are heading down the victory trail to the sectionals. I would like to wish them all the best of luck now and always. -Bob Kennedy Jim Finnick-Come right in. Don't mind the dog. Jim Fox-Doesn't he bite? Jim Finnick-That is just what I want to find out. We bought him this morning. Rod Pierce-Miss, there's something hanging from your hair. Jean Dibble-I beg your pardon, that's my hat.

THE ACADEMIAN State Music Finals Highlight for 1940 Since the last issue of the Acade- mian, a great deal has happened to C. A.'s musicians. They have weathered their contests and come through with the traditional flying colors. The first contest was the Sectional Competition Festival held at Waterloo High School on April 5th and 6th. There were about 18 entries from Can- andaigua at Waterloo and most of them received recommendations for the final. On April 25th, 26th and 27th Canan- daigua had the privilege of being host to the Western N. Y. State finals. This was the largest state contest ever to be held ln New York State with about 6,500 musicians participating. The re- markable success of the event was due chiefly to the efficient planning and the untlrlng work of Ray Russell, the local chairman, and the scores of people who so willingly co-operated and helped him. Representing Canandaigua in the State Finals were sixteen different solo- ists, ensembles and organizations, all of whom received very commendable rat- ings and several of which were recom- mended for the National at Albany. The third contest spoken of was held in Albany, May 17th and 18th. Some of our ensembles and soloists competed and they all upheld the tradition of flne music which has been known for so long in Canandaigua Academy. And now, it is with a feeling of great joy and of deep regret that we turn the last pages of the Musical Book of 1939-40. A feeling of joy in remember- ing the splendid times we have had to- gether on our numerous contests, trips and other activities connected with mu- sic. For those of us who are seniors and will not be back next year, it is in- deed a feeling of regret that our musical career in C. A. is at its end, and that all the good times and experiences are but memories. However, I think that we will all agree that, through music, we have gained an appreciation of life that we could never have gotten any other way, and so here's to the Band, Orchestra and Chorus of 1940-41, all of whom we hope will attain ever greater glory than ever before. -Don Case Word Pictures of Our Seniors Clara Barnhart-Happy is she who possesses many friends.
