On the second set were Donahue, BogdanolT, Stafford, Mercer and Madden. Dunham, Turner, Cramer, and Van Derveer proved themselves efficient substitutes.

TRACK This year the County League will sponsor a track meet which will be held at Skaneateles on June 3rd. This event will include races of 50, 100, 220, 440, and 880 yards as well as the mile race. In addition to this there will be relay races of 440 and 880 yards each. The field events will include the shot put, the pole vault, the broad jump and the high jump. Although the Baldwinsville team has but few facilities to train for a meet of this sort, we expect to be well represented ; we hope to score better than last year. —Kkrmit Smith. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The Seniors proved to have the best basketball team in the interclass race for the pennant, which they won after a close race with the Juniors, who were only one game behind them at the close of the season. Interclass basketball have proved to he one of the most important of our extra-curricular activities as it is through this players are built up to represent the high school on the varsity teams. Standings of the teams at the close of the season are as follows: Team Wan Lost Seniors ............................ 8 1 Juniors 7 2 Sophomores ..........................i 6 Freshman ........................... 0 9 Arthur HuntlKy. GOLF Due to a change in schedule there is no division in the county league this year. There are eight teams in the league, which means seven golf matches for each team. Baldwinsville started the season with three regulars of last year. Eon Russell, Frederick VVilkinson and Frank Walters, and Jay Mercer filling the place of Francis Russell, k redcrick Wilkinson was fortunate enough to have a position given him May 25, thus leaving a gap in the team which has been filled by Vic Milkowski and later by Robert Browning. Up to May 27 Baldwinsville has had no defeat and won her first four games 12 to 0. The first three of these were played at Seneca and the fourth at Liverpool. On May 27 Baldwinsville tied Solvay and the play-off is scheduled for June 7. A match was arranged between Nottingham, city champions, in which Baldwinsville was defeated 8 to 4. Frank. Walters.

TENNIS Tennis, although not sponsored by the school, is ushering in its fourth suc- cessful season, enjoyed by many of the students of the school and thus is prac- tically considered a part of the Academy sports program. It is in the form of a club and is headed by Richard Decker, who last year won the Interscholastic singles championship of Central New York. Haldwinsville Tennis Club boasts of having two of the first clay courts in New York State. '1 his year for the second consecutive time they are holding the invi- tation tournament for interscholastic players in Central New York. This tourna- ment will run for four days, namely, May 22, 2.1, 24 and 25. and will find most of the stars in that class participating and will find Richard Decker the defending champion, attempting to hold on to his title. Last year’s team won six out of the seven matches played, their sole defeat coming at the hands of a strong Binghamton outfit. I lie prospects for this year’s team looks equally as good, as it finds several experienced players back. The strong Manlius Military Academy team is to he met this year and will find six matches of singles being played. The boys who will probably play in this engage- ment are: Richard Decker, David Clary, Paul BugdanutT. Charles Cole, Burton Frawlev and Wilbur Smallwood. Robert Bemey is manager of this year’s tennis team and he has assured the boys of matches with the two strong teams representing Vocational High School of Syracuse and Skaneateles High School, along with several other matches. —Jack Dunham, MINSTRELS On February 17-18, the Baldwinsville Academy held its annual Minstrel Show. The combined work of Miss Roth, Miss Forrest and Mr. Elden made it a huge success. Two plays, “Pa’s New Housekeeper”, in which Burton Frawlev. Ellen Chaplin, Dalton Brooks, Charles Button, and Jane Doran cleverly played the roles assigned to them, and The Orange Colored Neck Tie’’, featuring Victor Milkowski, Betty osburgh, Barbara Gere. Caroline Rowe, Carlon Cook, Margaret Adsit and Thomas Turner, gave the audience many minutes of enjoyable entertainment. The “Dusky Beaus and Belles” gave credit to Miss Forrest’s ability to produce a peppy dance in harmony with the Minstrel spirit. The Dusky Beaus” were played by Jane Montague, Frances Weeks, N’orlyn McMullen and Glenna Con- nell, and the “Belles” by Jenny Canestrare, Elizabeth McCarthy, Doris Vandervecr and Catherine Vorhccs. Then the Circle! Interlocutor Frawlev, and the end men: Brooks, Smallwood. Mercer, and Wilkinson, gave the circle a snap and zest never before found in the Academy Minstrels. Appreciation is also extended to Mr. Cohen, our own Sam Watson, to Lelia Smith, the Glee Club, and the accompanists, James Henderson and Helen King. Everyone went home feeling years younger and livelier than before, thankful and pleased with their attendance at the Minstrels However, they alone did not benefit, as the Academy evenly distributed the proceeds between the Parent Teachers’ Association and the Orchestra. —Gi.I'NNA CoNNFXt,.
