Lliltllftigl? l I mf' W dui. 'I A g a ? Q 4' ll . , BOYS' ATHLETICS Collingswood High School is honored again. Three State champion- ships have been awarded to C. H. S. athletes. Russell Taylor, '23, re-- ceived the State championship in broad-jumping and pole vaulting, while Lynn Jones, '22, received the State championship in the javelin throw. These fellows deserve credit for bringing these high honors to C. H. S. The A. Ajofficers wh-o have been elected this year are: President, Harry Nichols: vice-president, Russell Taylor, secretary, Hanson Tully: treasurer, George McKeag. All of these officers have pep, so fellows, get back of them and make things go. The A. A. cards are not being bought by a majority of the students. These cards are not put out just to get money, but also to help you save money. Buy the A. A. cards. Football This year starts Mr. Irvine's fourth year as athletic coach of the boys' athletic teams. His success can be seen by the wonderful record made by our teams. Between 50 and 60 candidates turned out for football practice the first day. While some of these have dropped out, we still have a good showing. There are always more than enough fellows to make two teams. - The football team is fortunate this year in having 7 'Varsity men back. They are: Capt. Wilkins, Cornbrooks, H. Nichols, Zanger, V. Nichols, Bryant and Graham. Besides these we have Hendricks who played one full game with the Varsity last year. Teegen will also help us in our games this year. Teegan came from Mt. Vernon High School, New York. He puts the fighting spirit into the game from start to finish. Norris, Kneckt, and Brown look good at the tackle posi- tion. We also have a good string of subs. , I .28 .

THE KNIGHT BOYS' GLEE CLUB Well, we're off. Boys, come out and meet your new leader. Mr. Holteen has consented to lead the boys this year and he wants your support. We want at least thirty members this year, so it's up to you to make it that. We are especially in need of tenors, both first and second. A few more second and first basses would not be out of place either, as there are only about fifteen in the club now. G. H. BARSTAR, '23 Correspondent THE MUSICAL CLUBS The season of 1922-23 opens with much promise for the Musical Clubs. The orchestra has lost some of its best material, but not all, and with several of last season's strong violinists and more strong players entering, we believe we shall do good work. Our greatest loss is our drummer, Severn Tyler, who graduated last June, and our clarinetist, Walter Huff, who took his talent and his instrument to Ocean City High School. We congratulate Ocean City. The Girls' Glee Club is stronger than it has been for several seasons. Sixteen members remain from last year, and 23 candidates have been accepted this year, thus increasing our number to 39 members. The following new members have joined our ranks: First Sopranos Mina Barber, '26 Dorothy Spealler, '23 Dorothy Meredith, '23 Dorothy Senseman, '25 Ethel Helm, '25 Ruth Percival, '24 Edith Percival, '24 Katharine Evaul, '24 Helen O'Neal, '25 Eloine Clark, '23 Altos Alice Vogel, '23 Second Sopranos Eleanor McCar.dell, '26' Dorothy Claypool, '24 Edith Fuchs, '23 Frances Staats, '25 Gwendolyn Cheeseman, Jean Veatch, '25 Anna Kraus, '23 Ruth Otter, '23 Ethel Laveson, '23 Helen Williams, '24 Piano Marion Post, '23 '24 .. Puria Krout, '25 A The Musical activities along all lines promise to be more flourishing this year. New song books have been purchased for the assembly exer- cises, and interesting programs are being planned. The Combined Glee Clubs presented Columbus, a mixed chorus, for Columbus Day, and are preparing Landing of the Pilgrims for the Thanksgiving programs. Other special features will appear from time to time. MISS McKINLEY, Director .27

THE KNIGHT Gloucester vs. C. H. S. In a practice game, on September 22, with Gloucester, C. H. S. showed its superiority by downing Gloucester to the tune of 66-O. As -every one of our players played well it is hard to say who starred. Be- fore the first quarter was finished Mr. Irvine sent in the second string men. The third and fourth teams also had a chance. ' Moorestown H. S. vs. C. H. S. On September 29 Moorestfown visited Collingswood. Captain Wil- kins won the toss and Collingswood received the ball. After pushing the ball up to the 40 yard line, H. Nichols received the ball and made a pretty drop kick which cleared the bar. Neither team scored from that time until the last p-eriod. In the fourth period in the last few minutes of play, Jolly, Wilkins and Nichols pushed the ball over the line. Nichols failed to kick the ball and the game was over. Tieghan starred with his end runs, putting his utmost into every play. The game was marked by a great number of penalties, of which C. H. S. received goodly number. But at the finish Collingswood was on top. The score was 9-0. - Collingswood was unfortunate in not being able to play Camden this year because of a cancellation by Camden. This game was being looked forward to by every student. The 1922 Football schedule as compiled by the management is as follows: -September 29-Moorestown, home. October 6-Camden, home Ccancelledl. October 13-Millville, away. October 21-Atlantic City, home. October 27-Haddonfield, away. November 3-Bridgeton, home. November 10-Germantown, away. November 17-Woodbury, away. November 24-Haddon Heights, home. November 30-Alumni, home. Mr. Pate of our faculty attended the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association in Newark on Friday evening, October 6. This meeting was held to settle difficulties of' the school athletics of New Jersey. 29
