Guerrera, as a part of the intramural program. It will not, however, become an inrer-ccnolasric spori in the future, because the danger is too grear. The boys participating did it voluntarily and arranged their own matches accoraing to their weight, skill, and ability. Two boxing cards have been held eecn year where very good boxing was aemonstrared. r.ese induced knockouts, draws, ano decisions. One OL,H standing bout of the year was thar ot Lisle Pickarc and Cecil Reeves in which Reeves was finally over- come by Pickard's quick punches. r 3oxing has a future in tie Acaoemy It rhe ca- pacity crowds which showed up at These matcnes are really boxing tans. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Part of the boys' physicial education program in B.H.S. is the interclass basketball league. The juniors wort the championship, as usual, since they had the older and better players. With the aid of Gus Rowe, Nick Pickard, and Gabby Woods, the juniors started off with a bang, winning their first games easily. When Pickard and Woods were called for varsity duty and Rowe was out for a few games, the juniors began losing, but Rowe came back to help the team. The sophomores had a strong five which pressed the juniors hard and beat the seniors. The results were as follows: Class Won Lost Juniors 10 2 Sophomores 7 5 Seniors 4 8 Freshmen 3 o DONALD THOMPSON BARNYARD LEAGUE For the benefit of the noon hour students a Barn- yard League was formed to give them amusement during their lunch hour. It was first planned for basketball, but was later carried to a softball league as well. There were four teams: Mayoitchers, Hogcallers, Farmhands, and Cornhuskers. Floyd Woods, Mer- rill Rowley, Lisle Pickard, and Charles Hobbs were the leaders of the reams respectively. These teams olayed a thirty-six game schedule in basketball and a fifteen game schedule ir softball. The Hay- pitchers were the victors in the basketball schedule and as this goes to press are leading in softball. CHARLES HOBBS HARLAN HUDSON

JOURNALISM Entirely successful may be said of the activities of the Journalism Club for this concluding year. Witn a record membership of seventy-one embryonic journalists a wide and varied program was carried out. Such interesting speakers as Mrs. Egbert Turner. Willis Davis. Howard Behm, and Coach Wesley Getman contributed many ideas for improvement of our two school papers, the Crimson and White and the Academy Messenger. Pantomimes and skits offered variety in the entertainment of club members. The obviously successful editing of the two school newspapers is also accredited to the staffs and fellow Journalism members. Junior class members of the club super- vised the editing of the two papers for one week during the year. The club drafted and adopted a new constitution to remedy some defects of the old one. Six members represented the Academy club at the New York State School Press Association conference in November at Syracuse University financed by the proceeds of a food sale held by the club. Mrs. Martin A. Lower returned to her old post as adviser. President ................ Vice-President ........... Secretary and Treasurer . Exchange Editor Edifor-in-Chief News Editor .
