Baseball is not so popular as football or basketball but the team deserves prais6 and backing just the same. We’re hoping it comes to the front in the next few years. Then, of course we must not forget volley ball nor hit pin baseball. These are both exciting sports as most of us have no- ticed, either from the balcony or the field when class tournaments were being held. Our band and orchestra deserve much atention. The band has pro- gressed rapidly and no one should fail to praise its work. But the orchestra, I think takes the prize in our outside school activities. We have all heard them play and have been well pleased. In all of our school entertainments, and we have had many, it has always supplied us with delightful music, es- pecially when it accompanied the “Op- eretta.” We must not forget our be- ginners on the violin. Perhaps, you have not as yet real- ized our progress. No doubt we are in the background for the time being, but just give us time and praise. All of us are acquainted with the “Red and White.” The staff was ac- tive and produced excellent work. Of course, though it took alert, active people to do the work and the mem- bers of the staff there are a few more eligible ones who did not hold a po- sition at some time thruout the year. Everyone was deeply interested in the class plays. Some of us were not fortunate enough to take the part of any of the characters in the casts.

To arouse interest in the writing of plays as well as producing the club has offered a prize for the best play to be written by the students to be a- warded next October. To close our school year we cele- brated with a picnic and theatre par- ty at Syracuse. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES There were many things this year to occupy one’s leisure moments. No one should have it said that he did not take part in some school activity. We are quite proud of our athletics this year and we all should be. The football team last fall was fine. Des- pite the fact that they lost some games they showed a wonderful fight- ing spirit and should have been back- ed by the school more than they were. Then came basketball, the sport of sports. The boys team was splen-

It any one missed seeing the “Red and White Follies,” he certainly miss- ed a fine entertainment. It was full of good music, comedy and all that makes an entertainment a good one. We hope that the students of the classes of next year will go in for school activities as much, if not more, than they have this year. It’s loads of fun and every one get a “kick” out of entering any of these activities. —M. Homan and M. Gruber Curtis: Did you notice the funny look Ruby gave me when I asked her to go to the Senior dance?” Martin: “She didn’t give it to you, you have always had it.” Figure This Out I’m in a lOder mood today, feel poetic 2; 4 fun I’ll just—off a ------ send it off 2 U.

Why, Peg that was the best thing you ever did.” Mail Carrier: “Is this package for you? The name is obliterated.” Betty: “Nope, it can’t be for me, my name is Musacchio.”
