1936———— EASTERN ACADEMY ==———1936 Athletics Since this is the first (and last) issue of the “Envoy” that has appeared this semester, there is an abundance, even an oversupply of news concerning the accomplishments of E. A.’s teams. Because your correspondent sympathizes with you, the readers, he will not give you a play by play description of each game, but rather endeavor to present a resumé of the doings of the Boys’ and Girls’ Varsity teams. At first glance this season might appear to have been rather unsuccessful for the Boys’ Varsity. However, if the conditions of each game could be under- stood, 1t would be seen that although we were not overwhelmingly successful, we were not at all disgraced. Even though we were swamped by Lodi, a school six or seven times as large as E. A., we did beat St. Mary’s, the winner of the city Parochial League, and lost to St. John’s and St. Joseph’s by a margin of one point. And then the Alumni beat us by only a very few points in both games. To say the least, it is not encouraging for any team to have the “breaks’”’ continually against them. Yet our E. A. team was always ready to get in there and fight, no matter what the odds were. This certainly takes more spirit than it does when the team always wins. Therefore I feel perfectly safe in saying that our 1935-36 Basket Ball Season was morally successful.

A. girls not only had a morally successful season, but a materially successful one as well. Our girls went into the majority of their games with that extra something that makes the difference between a team and a winning team and saved the day for E. A. (Partly, I think, to “show us boys a thing or two’’). The girls with a late and heavy season saw what the boys were doing with their early season and resolved not to follow suit. They certainly lived up to their resolutions. Starting with a spectacular win over the St. John’s sextette, cur girls took all comers, and at the end of the season could say with Caesar, “Venimus; Vidimus; Vicimus.” (We came; we saw; we conquered.) If the girls can handle domestic problems as well as they can a basket- ball, there will be a number of contented husbands sometime in the dim(?) future. twenty-three

We haven’t heard much about Henry E. Van Reken and the blondes lately. Smatter pop, slipping? I guess our four nurses-to-be are working their way upward. Here’s hop- ing they get there before the “right person” comes along. (In case you’ve for- gotten, they are: Olga and Miel, the twins; and Marj and Marie, pals.) Of course we don’t want to hint or anything, but don’t you think George Vermeulen sings beautifully? It has a peak on it. It’s getting Signed—Student Body. Just who is the little lad who claims to be a soldier? Oh!—Ted. So the Alumni Music Club has accomplished something. Good work. Here’s hoping they keep it up. Does Cook Van Genderen really like to sew and cook, or does she think practice makes perfect? I wonder. If girls were only born with hair hke Dow Drukker’s. Jeanette Greydanus sure did effect one of the mail-men who rides on the 40 with us. He always speaks about ‘that pretty girl from Fairlawn.” I wish Mink De Jonge would let us know where he works. A delegation just about turned Quackenbush’s up side down looking for him. VITAL STATISTICS Name Nick-Name Pastime Ambition Henry E.
