The present staff offers hearty congratula- tions and wishes the new board the best of luck. Early in June, Mr. Richardson, who spoke to the boys last year, gave an interesting discription of the coming Blairstown Conference, and urged Carteret boys to take an interest and send some delegates. Several of the boys are considering attending the convention and have written to Nlr. Richardson for particulars. This seems to be the open season for picture taking of various descrip- tions, a number of the sixth formers having had to go through the gruelling ordeal of watching the birdieu six or seven times during the past few weeks. The annual Alumni baseball will have been played when this issue appears. The way things appear at present, this affair will be one of the

THE CARTERET 29 mounds of lava, and chopping down the underbrush. Suddenly Charley, who was leading, burst through a th-icket and found himself on the top of a sheer precipice. It went about 600 feet to the sea. As their instructions were of no further use, they commenced to dig. They dug for two days, and then the men became so exhausted that they had to rest before they could go any further. As Charley lay in his tent that night, he turned the whole problem over in his mind. He simply had to win. The next day, as an incentive, he offered a prize consisting of one eighth of the treasure to the man that found it first. On Sunday, Charley took some lunch with him and went to explore the cliffs. They were steep and dangerous, so he decided to return to the ship, take the gig, and row to the bottom of them. At last-he beached his gig and stood looking up at the dark and threatening projections. Af- ter examining them, he slowly began his dangerous climb. At times he hung by his fingers, and at other times he had to jump for a hold above. At last he reached the object of his trip, a large smooth rock, which he had noticed while fishing the day before. By throwing a noose over a large rock, he pulled himself up to a small ledge. Then he leaned over and managed to Work the boulder loose, so that with a final shove, it fell to the sea with a tremendous splash. ln its place was an iron door secured by rusty bolts. With the use of a hatchet and some rocks, he managed to pull the door off, and there lay a pit with a ladder going down. Charley not trusting the ladder, fastened a rope to the iron door, and lowered himself down. At the bottom there was a passage-way leading to some remote re- cess. Taking a candle from his pocket, he slowly made his way forward by the use of its small light. Suddenly the narrow tunnel swung into a large cavern, which was filled with large iron-bound chests. Taking his hatchet, he drove it into the nearest one, and, as it was rotted by age, it split open and revealed that precious yellow metal that was valued so high- ly by his ancestors, Spanish Gold. ,l.i..l.- ' Traffic Cop: What's your name?

THE CARTERET 31 most successful in years. The Alumni dinner planned for the evening of June l7, also promises to be a great success. Carteret entered several boys both in the Princeton Interscholastic Track Meet, and the State Meet at Newark, N. J. Fred Hood came the nearest to glory by winning his heat in the century dash at Princeton. He failed to qualify in the semi-finals however. The much heralded Young American Club closed its activities for the year with a meeting on Friday evening, May 28th. The first new local chapter of the club, South Orange High School, was admitted at this meet- ing. Bill Crabb was elected president of the new chapter, and Bob Bilder, vice-president. George Miller Shelley, a graduate of Carteret Academy in 1923, has been awarded the Henry W. Scott prize in French offered annually to a Junior at Yale. He has been elected to the staff of the Yale Record and a member of the Play Craftsmen at the university. GOLF For the first time in the history of the school, so far as we know, a golf team has been organized at Carteret. The first and only match played by the team at this writing met defeat at the hand of Newark Academy, likewise a newly formed team this year. The match was a close one however and had it not been that the Nassau system of scoring was used, Carteret would have been victorious. In straight match play Car- teret had the edge 3-2. The feature match of the day was betwen John- ny Parker, Carteret's star, and Russell, number one of the Newark team. At the turn Johnny was two down, due to an unaccountable weakness in putting. At this point however, Parker started to play unbeatable golf, com- ing in in par, 35, for a 4 and 2 victory over Russell. Town halved his match with Blauvelt of Newark after running up a big lead early in the match. Pen Reed played a fine game to defeat Nevin of Newark. Horn of Carteret lost to Adams ZW-M, While Poinier, Carteret lost to Mackin- ney, Newark 3-0. The Hnal count of the match was Newark 9, Carteret 6. Plans are being made for a return match with Newark and also for a match with Cornish School. .
