The points on the back of each 8A pupil's permanent record card are totaled and this total is used as basis of the awards. Twenty per cent of the number of pupils in the grade having the highest totals are eligible to receive letters. The.names of these pupils are presented to the Stu- dent Council. The Council goes through the list and questions anyone's right to receive a letter, basing their decision on character, co-operation, attendance at school. and scholarship. The list is given to a committee of teachers to act upon. Here again each name is brought up and voted upon. Notation is made of any person whom the teachers think is not eligible. Finally the list is referred to a Council comprised of Mr. Coon, as chairman, Miss Porter, Mrs. Norton, Miss Keehan, Miss Holmes, and Miss Kernaham. The names are again voted upon indi- vidually. Miss Porter is called upon' to tell thc names of the pupils the Student Council deemed unfit for letters. The names who pass the Council and commity are given a letter by the Stu- dent Council. The pupils who have received let- ters this term are: Madeline Abdella, Margaret Aldrich, Sam Ankistein, Elea- nor Arnold, Albert Beckwith, Howard Berger, Alma Brenner, Dorothy Brott, Courtland Burnham, Gelsomine Casano, Philip Catanzaro, Lillian Cole, Marilyn Cole, Marilyn Connover, Clayton Coon, Edna Cox, Margaret Christiano, Jack De Grand, George Dennie, Addie De Santis, Robert Gifford, John Graves, Elizabeth Green, Harold Hine, Ruth Holly.

30 ,Lp- Esrnn YEAR Book Girls' Sports OUTDOOR CLUB The Outdoor Club , which was or- ganized by Miss Stella Holmes last September, is in full force now. The girls have been going many places and doing many things. During the winter, some of the girls went ice skating, while some went hik- ing. In the spring there were many hikes to Johnstown and back, which were a lot of fun. The girls also took a hike to Cold Springs and had their supper there. They played baseball and other games. A hike to McNab Lodge was also enjoyed. The last Outdoor trip for this term will be a treasure hunt at Cold Springs where the treasure is a secret 'till the person finds it. The Outdoor Club has been a lot of fun for the girls and it is hoped that it will always be in full force.

Cross- ley. M. GENEST Sports Council The girls' sports council of Estee School is composed of ten members. They are two representatives of each grade. The athletic manager, the assist- ant manager, a news reporter and the director of athletics in Estee School. The council meets every two weeks. They plan girls' athletic programs and settle disputes and problems that arise. The members are: A. Bleyle, D. Brott, J. Farrell, M. Genest, J. Farrell, M. Cayea, B. Ricci, N. Tarmy, R. Knapp and E. Dye. M. Gi:NEs'r, 9A201 Why Estee Doesn't Get Support ' ln Sports I think the reason why Estee does not get any support is because they start too late in the season. I do not see why they do not start at the be- ginning of the season. If they would play more often I think they would get more supporters. They have the suits, coach, players and also the crowds would be interested in the games. Look at the support the 1931- 32 basketball teams got. Why? Be- cause they played more than ten games each year. The last two years the Es- tee basketball team have only played from 1 to 8 games. I hope that next year the Estee basketball team will start at the beginning of the season instead of after the season is half over. J osEPH FICILI 1 I
