GOLF CLASS WILL This year, as usual, the County League is divided into two sections. In the western section are Bald- winsville, Solvay, Marcellus, Skaneateles and Split Rock. The eastern section includes East Syracuse, Fayetteville, Liverpool, North Syracuse, and Tully. The scoring system in use this year is much simpler than the one used last year. A win scores two points, a tie one point, and a loss zero. When the schedule has been completed, the winning team in each section will meet and play for the county championship. On June 12 the two best players from each team will meet and play a match for medal score. The three lowest scores will win medals. Baldwinsville has played two matches thus far, and has emerged victorious in each case. On May 14, the boys defeated Solvay 10 2 to M 2. The following Saturday, May 16, they easily downed Split Rock 9 to 3. This certainly indicates a suc- cessful season. The members of this Boys William Walters Jay Mercer Robert Wilkinson Kirby West Russell Virginia Harold Stearns Manag Faculty Adviser, r's teams are as follows: Girls Jeanne Gere Martha Sullivan Annette Chaplin Urana Chamberlain Peggy Harrington Lucille Follay , Carl Rice Ar. Richard E. Cary FRANCIS ERWIN INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The Interclass Basketball season opened with a lack of interest, except for that of the players. The teams were equally balanced during the first half of the season and Kept within easy reach of each other's position in the league. The freshmen at the middle of the league season showed an unforseen amount of strength, when they defeated every team in the league once. At the end of the regularly scheduled games, there was a triple tie, among the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. The seniors were defeated in the first game of the playoff by the sophomores. This defeat prevented the seniors from winning the championship and gave the sophomores the privi- lege of playing the juniors for the championship. The Juniors were the victors of this game. Although the season did not produce any player of outstanding value, it did advance Jay Mercer, C. Root, and R. Lavoie after the mid-year to the Junior Varsity. (Continued from Page 14 ) Alice Brauksieck bestows her ability to do her French correctly on Mary Squires. Urana Chamberlain leaves her shoes with Kate McCarthy, since Mac is the only one who could fill them. Annette Chaplin leaves her skill at golf to Mr. Cary. With that handicap he should attain some high scores in this, his first year of playing at B'ville. Avis Day bequeaths her quiet speech and dignified mien to Leopold Mier. Francis Erwin leaves his well polished and dusted seat in the office to Mabel Baker, who can make good use of it. Louis Gettman leaves his Cicero book to anyone who will accept it, that seeming to be the only way he will get rid of it. Russell Greene leaves his stature to the Rice brothers. Maybe that will bring them down to where they can look us in the eye. Eleanor Griffeth leaves her baby-talk to Catherine Merriam. Helen King bestows her ability at the piano to Harry Clark. Harry already has a good start. Florence Loveless leaves her ability to sit patiently and wait for Dr. Bennett to return to his office to all the doctor's patients. Eddie Madden leaves his Ford to Arthur Shea so Art can get to school on time. Charles Palmer leaves Joyce to the tender mercies of his brother Fred. Perhaps she won't be able to tell the difference. Rhoda Schulz bestows her willingness to cooperate with the teachers to Robert Snow. Robert can use this generous gift to good advantage in History A class. Harold Shafer leaves his red thatch to Roland LaVoie. Step right up folks. See the only redheaded Frenchman living today! Florence Smith wills her walk and carriage to Lewis Johnston, who can use them when his bicycle breaks down. Edna Dunham and Catherine Voorhees leave their com- bined roller skating ability to Merrill Rowley. That should enable him to go places in a hurry. Norma Trexler and Lillian Bell leave their typewriting and stenographic ability to Mr. Cary so he wil! be able to write his own letters to the various county coaches. Doris Vandervoer would leave her nose to someone, if she wasn't afraid she'd lose it and never find it again. Mary Joyce Wells, being completely satisfied at present, just wants everybody else to leave her alone. (Hint, Turner.) Dorothy Beebe leaves her interest in chemistry to Harold Stearns, who needs plenty of it. Frances Clark bequeaths her personality to the needy Bill Klasmier. Elizabeth Clemens leaves her skill at answering office phone calls to Miss Orvis, who will use this gift a dozen times a day. Robert Coates leavos his ability to go through the year without buying a tablet to Mrs. Cussler, so she won't have to spend her money on spiral notebooks. Charles Cole bestows his haircut upon Al Capone. With the one he now has, Mr. Capone will become practically bald. John Crego leaves his title as the hondsomest senior to be put in mothballs and saved for Kirby West. Helen McNeill leaves her Lady Marden accent to Daniel Grome. June Farnham leaves her tendency to drive carefully at about 30 miles per hour to Harry 'Shriver, who never could bear to see the accelerator project above the floor- boards.

HOCKEY The season of 1935-36 was the first in which the competing teams of the County League were forced to play on outdoor ice. This proved to be a great handicap for most schools. Baldwinsville was more fortunate than other schools in that they received aid from the town highway department in building a rink. However, although much time and effort v ere spent by the officials in charge, the inconsistency of the weather prohibited the use of the rink which they built. This aid failing them, the team was forced to play its home games on the Seneca River. Three home games v ere played. Much credit is due Coach R. E. Cary for his team's records show that they have been taught thoroughly the fundamentals and principles of hockey. This season, Coach Cary built his team around Capt.-elect Cole, Heagle, and Virginia, veterans of last season's championship team from which Cole and Virginia were selected for all-county honors. He turned out a very formidable sextet that finish- ed second in the league race for the play-offs. In the League Play-Offs, held at the Coliseum, home of the Syracuse Stars, Baldwinsville's defend- ing champions were selected to play two games on a Wednesday night and win both in order to meet Skaneateles, who finished first in the regular schedule Saturday night. Baldwinsville, playing fast hockey in both games, defeated North Syracuse in the first game by a score of 2 to I, and Marcellus in the second game by a score of 5 to 4 with Cole scoring the winning goal on an assist from Heagle, with but two seconds left to play. Saturday night, trying for their second consecu- tive league championship, Baldwinsville, although they played clean, fast hockey, went down to a glorious defeat at the hands of Skaneateles by a score of 3 to 0. In the ballot cast by members of the team Heagle and Virginia were elected co-captains for the season 1936-37. The following is the record of this year’s team: Baldwinsville 0 Skaneateles Baldwinsville 0 East Syracuse Baldwinsville 3 Marcellus Baldwinsville 1 Skaneateles Baldwinsville 1 Marcellus Baldwinsville 6 East Syracuse Baldwinsville. ... 2 North Syracuse Baldwinsville. ... 5 Marcellus Baldwinsville ....... 0 Skaneateles CHARLES COLE TRACK A team representing Baldwinsville Academy on the track and in the field events has been named by Coach Getman. This 1936 edition will be handicapped by the loss of three big point win- ners from last year's second place team. This sport is comparatively young in regards to county league competition but Baldwinsville's record to date proves that whether young or old, our team will finish near the top. From last year's squad goes Payne Bigelow, George Sullivan, and Gus Rowe, who won six, four and five points respectively. Bigelow placed in the 50 and 440 yard dashes; Sullivan, a miler and pole vaulter; and Rowe com- peted in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Thus figur- ing this up, Baldwinsville lost three men who brought home a total of 15 points. The following table shows those boys who repre- sented Baldwinsville in the county league meef on June 5th and 6th which is to be held at Liverpool, and the events in which they participated. Name Event Alfred Oppleton—100-220 yard dash, broad jump, 880 relay. James Williams—100-220 yard dash, pole vault. Milton Stafford—440 yard dash, relay. Russell Virginia—440 yard dash, high jump, relay. Wilbur Smallwood—880 yard dash, relay. Frederick Pulver—880 yard dash. Leonard Mackey—Mile run. James Turner—Mile run. Howard Kratzer—Mile run. Howard CregO'—Mile run. Warren Virkler—880 yard dash, mile run. Norman Kingsley—Mile run. Frederick Sullivan—Mile run, pole vault. Harry Shriver—Mile run, high jump, relay. In order to v in a letter or insignia for participa- tion in track one must win five points in a triangular meet, or two points in a county league meet.
