GLEE CLUB The Glee Club, first organized in 1913, had a membership of thirteen girls, who met every other week after school. This year the Glee Club has a member- ship of sixty-three and meets at least three times a week for a period of twenty minutes during school. The members also have the good fortune to receive school credit for their work. At a meeting earlv in September, Kellie Lee Kittell was elected president: Margaret Adsit, vice-president; Burton Frawley, secretary; and Frances Farley, treasurer. The Glee Club, which is under the direction of Miss Elizabeth M. Roth, pre- pared a cantata for the Christmas exercises of the school and took part in several assembly programs. It also took part in the annual High School Minstrels. The Special Chorus, made up of about twenty-four members selected from the Glee Club, sang numbers for the Junior and Senior Prize Speaking and for the County Prize Speaking for Girls. The present Glee Club, which has just completed a successful year, sincerely hopes that all future Glee Clubs will enjoy as many good things as it has and that they will become larger and more renowned as the years go by. —Helen McManus. THE JOURNALISM CLUB The Journalism Club during its three years of existence has accomplished creditable results in editing the “Crimson and White , our school paper.

Therefore, the Journalism Club likes to vary its work program by a bit of social activity now and then. Its big social event this year was a dance held in the Town 11 all last fall. Elizabeth McQuAin. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic. Association is the most important student organization in school. It is through this organization funds arc collected to maintain the expenses of the various sports. The Association sponsors all sports recognized by the County League and gives aid to several not sponsored by the league. As its governing body the Association elects students to a council. The Seniors were represented the first semester by Victor Milkowski and John Movvins. The Juniors elected Burton Frawley and Dominic Bochino. The Freshmen and Sophomores elected Reeder and Hudson, respectively. In the second semester Percy Green and Paul Bohdanuff spoke for the Seniors, while the Juniors elected Martha Mercer and Clifford Grego. Hudson and Cole represented the Sopho- mores and Freshmen. The high light of the Association’s social activities each year is its Athletic Banquet held for the purpose of honoring the students who receive block letters. This year it was held at the Seneca Hotel, the toastmaster being D. Charles O’Brien, while the honorary speaker of the evening was Roy Simmons. After the banquet we went up to the gymnasium and enjoyed dancing to the pleasing music of “Postal’s Silver Moons”. A good time was had by all. —Percy Green.

CHESS AND CHECKERS This is the fifth season of chess and checkers. Preceding teams have given a good account of themselves and. not to he outdone, this year’s team have given a good account of their ability along these respective lines. Much interest was lost in the games because of more attractive sports, but those who constituted the teams did not feel their time wasted. All games were closely played with the chess team having won two and losing one, and the checker team making close scores of all the matches. The following received insignias: Chess, George Sawyer, Charles English, Ora Hunter and John Mawhinney; Checkers, Frank Walters, George Sullivan, Oscar Westfall and Wilner Haas. —Oscar Westfall.

Mary Joyce Wells and Louis Gettman won first prizes, while Dorothy Storm and Charles Palmer received second prizes. On Friday evening, April 28lli, the Bigelow Prize Speaking was held in the Academy Auditorium. The five girls were: Mary Reddick, Marion McCarthy. Helena Ferguson, Ellen Chaplain and Barbara Gere. Mary Reddick received first prize and Marion McCarthy won second prize. Miss Reddick made a creditable showing when she represented us in the county contest on May 5th. The four boys contesting were: Burton Frawley, Victor Milkowski, Richard Rury and Wallace Lampson. Burton Frawley was judged the best speaker. However, the fact that he won first prize last year barred him from receiving the first prize this year. Nevertheless, by winning first place it gave him the right to represent the Academy at the contest held in Ethridge May 12th. He received first, prize in this contest and brought back a silver loving cup. The first prize money for the local contest went to Victor Milkowski and second prize to Richard Rury. The coaches for these two contests were Miss Palmer for the Juniors, and Miss Roth and Mr. Elden for the Seniors. —Catherine Luke.

Besides the major accomplishments the Orchestra has played for: assembly, minstrels, Parent Teachers, Christmas exercises and Prize Speaking. The Academy Orchestra for this current year has agreed to not participate in any contests, hut rather arc planning to take a trip to the Adirondacks and there play at some hotels which will bring a splendid climax to a fine and successful season, and we wish the musical organizations of Baldwinsville Academy many more such fruitful seasons. —Marion Heaci.f,.
