On Saturday morning. May third, the team stood ready to engage Camil- lus, their first rival, hut due to lack of material and interest in the old Scot- tish game, the cutlery-villagers defaulted, giving the home team an oppor- tunity for some much needed practice. Drawing a bye on Saturday, the tenth, a team composed of Morris Blanding, Fred Wilkinson, Francis Rus- sell and Fritz Crego matched strokes with a hard-hitting Central High School aggregation and emerged triumphant by the score of 8 2 to 3 2. This match was played by way of preparation for Skaneateles, but that school also defaulted to the home team. Solvay High School was the next opponent and Blanding, Wilkinson, Russell and Philip Cooper continued their good golf in defeating them. 11 to 1. Meanwhile, Marcellus with a team of Tuscarora caddies was also win- ning easy victories over the same teams which Baldwinsvillc had vanquished. The final match of the schedule found these two sterling teams battling it out for the supremacy of the western section. Consequently, the same team which defeated Solvay crossed clubs with the foe from Marcellus and after an in and out struggle eked out a 7 to 5 victory, largely through the excel- lent work of the number three and four men, Wilkinson and Russell. With the western championship crown resting firmly on their brows, the team awaits a play-off with the champions of the eastern section. The result of this match can only he conjectured at the time of writing, but it is certain that the team which downs the Crimson and White foursome must be capable of excellent golf. B’Yille also has one more match with Nottingham of Syracuse, a team which stands high in the City League. The home team is closing a very successful season and indications point to more victories next year. CLARENCE BLANDING B’VILLE HIGH WINS COUNTY GOLF TITLE Baldwinsvillc High Schools golf team won the county league champion- ship title yesterday afternoon at Drumiins by conquering Fayetteville, 9l 2 to 2 i points in their meet.

IT’S HARD TO LEAVE It’s time to go; yet I dread it so; To have to leave, is quite a blow. I'll miss that old familiar gym, Where we fought so hard to win. It seems most cruel to leave this school Where I’ve broken every rule; 1 hate to leave that dear old field Though memories of it are safely sealed. On that diamond, I've seen some fun Where Baldwinsville teams have lost-and won; I hate to leave my old class chums— We were such a gang of happy bums. There’s Reinhardt, president of our class, He started first, and finished last. Then there’s Diffenderfer, a dandy fellow, I’ll sure miss “Rajah but not his cello. When Adsit and Garrett leave the crew I’ll miss them both and Cl hope) their trombones, too. Perhaps more than all the rest— I’ll miss Furman, the busy guest. It grieves me most to leave behind An old devoted “pal of mine: And so I’ll surely hate like the deuce To leave the “B’villc Terror —“Tunkey” Luce. And Richard Price, how I’ll miss him. The only guy what’s full of vim; Then there’s Kelly, who can’t be beat. With his inseparable horse laugh, and number 12 feet. And then I’ll miss my spelling book so, As a matter of fact—it was missing long ago; I’ll surely miss my dear home room, If 1 get out of there it can’t be too soon! And then I’ll miss an awful lot Bicknell and his home-run swat. And Robert Orvis I’ll surely miss him. He’s been one of us through thick and thin. Tt’s going to make me feel quite blue When 1 have to leave some of the faculty too; Mrs. Tappan we’il never forget; On teachers like her the sun never sets. We hate to leave Cary’s good matured frown His is a head too good for a crown. We hate to leave Cussler, a Bobby Jones fan— Of course, he plays golf; you can tell by his tan. And now that I’ve reached the end of my rope I’ll take a few seconds to say what 1 hope. I hope that my classmates will fol’ow this trend— Matter not where we are. we’re all friends ’till the end. 29
