THB: WITAN Page thirty-nine T 33 Basketball An unusually large number of candidates for the basketball team reported to Coach Wood- man this year and on account of the abundance of material he has decided to have three teams, the first team, the reserves, and the sopho- mores. The idea of a sophomore team is new at Charlotte and Mr. Woodman, by scheduling games for them, hopes to build up good ma- terial for future first teams. The basketball prospects for this year re- ceived a great setback when George Beane, star guard was injured. This injury will prob- ably keep Gee out until the first of the year and he may not be able to play at all. This emergency called for quite a shift, but Coach Woodman thought he had a Find in Mc- Crary. Unfortunately Court was declared ineligible before the first league game. Bon- Held has now been moved back to the center position while Mr. Woodman is trying out various combinations to find one with strength in the back court and plenty of scoring power. The members of this year's squad are: John Ragan, Leon Bonfield, Albert F rattare, Albert Cason, Gard Mason, Bob McKissock, Angelo Vincelli, John Garrett, and Art Michel.

Page forty THE WITAN 2546 On XVednesday, October 25, the Senior High School girls entertained a group of West High girls in a volleyball playday. The games were played in the small gym with Miss Booth refereeing one set of games and the other set being refereed by Miss Dunbar, girls' athletic instructor for West High. Each team played four games and then all the girls went to the individual gymnastic room where they were served punch and cookies. The West High girls said that they had a great time, they also admired the building and envied Charlotte High students very much. G. A. A. PARTY The fall season of girls' sports ended in grtat style with a party held in the small gym- nasium. Margaret Sandle, as chairman of the entertainment committee, was mistress of cere- monies and announced the various events. Virginia Dickson and Jessie Lancaster, accom- panied by Wayne Davenport at the piano, entertained the assembled company with two clever tap dances. Miss Booth conducted a novel spelling bee, that caused plenty of hilarity. Margaret Hanna tickled the ivoriesv for an old fashioned Virginia reel. Two comic dramatic skits were presented by a cast of players including Marjorie Webb, Eleanora lvanson, Margaret Sandle, Jean Frattare, Thelma Lusink, and Helen Bloom. Inter- spersed between these features was dancing for which Esther Reitze played. Since no party would be complete without the eats quantities of jelly doughnuts and cocoa were provided to appease voracious appetites. But the sixty girls present could not consume all the food, for the refreshment committee had planned for a hundred girls. And so after the party was over the doughnuts and cocoa were taken over to the big gymnasium and presented to the reserve and regular basket- ball teams which were practicing there. This highly successful party will be remembered forever because Joe Smith took a picture of it. The Girls' Athletic Association congratulates Margaret Sandle and Jean Stubbs for having earned their C. H. S. emblem. This award is presented to a girl when she has earned fifty points for excellency in sports. HOME ECONOMICS Mrs. Louise Cowles and Mrs. Gladys Foster are the two new homemaking teachers. They teach the junior high girls and the girls from No. 38 school. In October a clothing exhibit of Self-Help Garments for the young child was given for the home-economics girls. On October 25, refreshments were served by the homemaking girls for the West High girls, who came to Charlotte toenjoy a game of volleyball with our senior high girls. A tea was held on Nevomber 6, for the mothers of the 7B classes. Refreshments were served by the homemaking girls. Miss Sage was general chairman of the afternoon pro- gram.

On November 15, refreshments for tea were served by our girls for the City Art Teachers in the Home Practice room, a room suitable for small gatherings. Miss Brown was the hostess. Miss Adams, director of art educa- tlon, for the public schools in Rochester, was one of the guests. The Commercial Honor Society had a tea on November 22, in honor of the new mem- bers. Refreshments were served by the home economics classes. On November 29, the first-period class of homemaking girls had a Thanksgiving break- fast. The girls all came at eight o'clock to pre- pare the breakfast. The third period class also had a dinner on the same day. We Should Like To Know- Why Beatrice Knabb lingers so lovingly over her sewing? VVhy Lucy Mangeri and Lillian Roman like to make bound buttonholes? VVhy Lois Koster is so anxious to finish her pajamas? Why the first sponge cakes flopped ? If Mr. Lacy enjoys the savory odors that fill 312 every cooking day? Why LaNette Brody fails to arrive promptly every morning for homemaking? How Florence Ambrose always evades dish- washing? What happened to Corrine Crocetti's delici- ous sponge cake?

This year's Green and White reserve team was one of the strongest in the league and ended the season near the top of the heap. Bob Bowen was the scoring threat of the team with about 10 goals to his credit. Garrett's great de- fense work between the uprights kept many a goal from being scored. The members of the team were: Sabatino Agostinelli Robert Bowen Burtis Dougherty John Garrett Robert Godfrey Raymond Grant Lawrence Kavanaugh Richard Mawson Jack Pople Guy Reid Erwin 'Ward Richard Kemp David Wagner Lyle Klier RESERVE SEASON'S SCORES Charlotte ...,.......... l Charlotte ,,....,.....,. 0 Charlotte ,............. 6 Charlotte .............. 2 Charlotte .............. 3 Charlotte .............. l Charlotte .........,.... 3 Charlotte .....,...,.,.. 3 Charlotte .......,,..,., 3 John Marshall ...... l Madison .,.............. l Jefferson ......... 3 Monroe ........,.. 0 Vocational .........,.. 1 Edison Tech ....,.,. 2 East High .....

Charlotte scored in the opening minute and was never headed until the last minute when an East Rochester man sank a shot after the Brown and White team had slowly closed in on the Charlotte five. The weakening of the team in the last quarter, and the lack of scoring power lost the game for Charlotte but the boys have been working hard to correct their faults and hope to open the leagu season against East High School on December 8 with a win. CHARLOTTE-EAST HIGH A fine East High team beat out a strong Green and White five. The East High fellows were tall and their skill in getting the ball off the backboard provided the margin of victory. Boniield, rangy Charlotte center, was high scorer for the Lakesiders and McKissock's play was the feature of the game. When the whistle blew for the end of the game the Green and White were on the short end of a 29-19 score. 1 .
