The Freshman emerges from the haze that surrounded him that September of 1936. He is green about the eyebrows and he trembles at the approach of any faculty member or upperclassman. He remembers the Frosh prom with the circus decorations: the class election when Cal Bartlett, Jim Blodgett, Bruce Manley and Harry McKelvey came out on top: his bewilderment at evaluation sheets: and his bub- bling school spirit. Ah, the Sophomore, elevated from the lowly class of Freshman. had an astounding opinion of himself. He recalls the dance with satis- faction: the geometry class and, perhaps, his first red mark with hor- ror. He also recalls the officers: John Foster, Ernest Green, Rosemary Emmerling, and Phyllis Gugino. Then comes the Junior, smirking at the success of his class and at its financial prowess. He revives the prom again and again: sighs with relief over conquered Regents. He sees John Foster, Barbara Luke, Rosemary Emmerling, and Ernest Green as officers and anticipates his Senior year. Finally, the Senior, robed in solemn gray and white stands forth. He smiles as he fondly remembers the fun in Room 37: the sale of Christmas cards and magazine subscriptions: the day on which the rings came: the Alumni banquet: the Senior prom: and his mixed emotions as graduation drew nearer, Yes, there we are, throughout our four years at Fredonia High. Those four years will always be to us an important part of our youth, a part to be treasured as the years go by. They were happy and full, and they added something besides book learning to each personality. The Senior history would not be complete without a tribute of appreciation to Mrs. Bessie Haniser who was our Junior counselor and who has this year been our Senior advisor. During the four years, the Class of '39 spun its web of friendships, and, although the tasks were not always easy, each year the threads grew firmer. May the threads so lengthen that we may keep the same unity in spirit when time separates us.

If we clip things from other books We are too lazy to write them ourselves: If we don't, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, We ought to be out hunting up news. If we do get out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job at home. If we don't print contributions, We don't appreciate true genius: lf we do print them, The Annual is filled with junk.

As Freshmen in 1936, we stood still until those older, more experienced ones. came forward to direct us on our climb toward our goal. September, 1937, found us world-weary Sophomores. That year proved for most of us to be the real introduction to the trials and plea- sures of high school. This year, we are just a little more wise as we laugh along our way. We are, indeed, sure of our footing now. We are definitely established as important members of the school. We have sponsored three successful proms during our high school career, each one of which has been better than the last. These successful social events brought confidence to us. Our officers are familiar to you, we are sure. As Freshmen we elected John Dickson, President: Jeanne I-lovey, Vice-President: Julia Vander Voort, Secretary, Robert Lesch, Treasurer. The Sophomore officers in the same order were Elmer I-lerriott, Jeanne Hovey, Jack Radloff, and John Granata. As Juniors we have chosen Harry Wurtz, Muriel Wood, Mary Lou Woods and Roger Heppell. These people have worked hard and have accomplished much. 1 fm 1 I ' c ,lfv i 't 5 1 FIRST Row - l.eft to Right - John Dickson. Betty Helen Patton. Edward Salholz Reta Schoenthal. Roger Heppell.

Music, drama, and art. all have claimed their exponents. Real talent in all these fields has been unearthed. In basketball, football, and track some of our classmates have proven themselves to be real athletes. We do not feel it necessary to put their names here as you must all know who they are. Our class has been vigorous in supporting the band, orchestra and athletic organization whenever a public appearance is made. Their studies have not been allowed to fall down, however, for all this school We have taken everything in its course. but, by no means, have we merely waited for things to happen. We have gone out and worked hard for what we want and need. This fighting spirit is present in al- most every member of the class. ls it any wonder our class has pro- gressed? I hope this spirit will remain with us all during life to prod us along toward success. On our way to take over as Seniors, we earnestly believe that we must do our best to live up to the standards created by those before us.

A Hawaiian motif was used in decorating the gymnasium, and to add at- mosphere, the orchestra and each girl was given a lei. The orchestra played a Hawaiian number in each set. As always, the class has done the usual amount of hard work. and in the last two years of our stay in high school, we shall strive to do the same. We shall also earnestly strive to benefit by the glaring mis- takes of the upper-classmen in setting an example for the classes which follow us. DORIS CARR, '41 QP.

Forly WD Tl Hi VIQIQ WIN If it is the custom for Freshman classes to appear very timid and meek, then our class is a bit radical, It is our opinion that we are one of the most outstanding classes the school has seen. Our officers, Robert Tarbox, Janet Luke, Betty Beck, and Bill Locke, have guided us through a successful year. We planned and put on a prom that was a pleasant surprise to the upperclassmen, who didn't think that we were capable of it. Following the example of last year's class we are very musical - much to Mr. Emanuelson's delight. To fortify the band we have Roger Walker, the future Tommy Dorsey, and Luther Blodgett, the future Harry James, not to mention Marjorie Read and Harmon Diers. There seems to be one weakness in our class -- certain people strive to annoy a certain teacher CU. This teacher must have quite a drawer full of our belongings, being forced to collect them every day. We've heard that he sells them to the junk man at the end of the year. After a year of hard work maybe we will calm down and become Sopho- mores. Who knows? V BETTY BECK, '42 V6 1 B f 'X N - ' . ,Qr ' w ' f eff. -,.-f.

They loiter in the halls and try the patience of the teachers. ln September there were twenty-nine students in each room. Now. there are only twenty-five students in room seventeen. One of the boys left school, another left because of serious illness, a third moved away. and the other was advanced to the freshman class. In September we had three teachers: Miss Russo for mathematics. Mrs. McLaren for history. and Mrs. Smith for English. The last mentioned was assigned to English ll and our home room teachers took our English classes. The girls have a Glee Club under the direction of Miss Gerres. She says that it is one of the best glee clubs which she has ever had. We held our annual party on Eriday afternoon, March 31, in room seventeen. A Mohawk wedding and several other entertainments pro- vided fun for everyone. Refreshments were served and the students danced the Virginia Reel before leaving. All in all, we have hopes that the senior class of '43 will see us as loyal members, doing our part.

Another group of Leones help swell the rank and file, Lift high scholastic banners, full many another mile. Limey , Slats , and Jenny Sac are always found together: They're not afraid of any foe, in any kind of weather. Peter plays the fiddle, Johnny beats the drum, Tony toots the trumpet, Esther tries to hum. Sally swings the saxophone, Dotty chews her gum, Doris paints her finger nails, Amelia wags her tongue.

CLADWIN, Chief of Research in Pomologil. Slate Experiment Station The introduction of grape culture into Chautauqua County by Elijah Fay at Brocton in l8l8 is a most interesting chapter in the economic development of New York Agriculture. altho the venture did not prove commercially successful at first. due in large part to the lack of suitable varieties. The efforts ol Mr. l'ay did, however. establish the fact that the Vine could adapt itself to the climate and soils of the region. The real start in commercial viti- culture began with the planting of the Catawba and Isabella. About 1860 the Concord which Ephraim Bull grew from a seed at his home in Concord, Mass.. was available for trial and its planting in the vicinity of Brocton demonstrated that this sort was ideally adapted for the south shore of Lake Erie, In 1859 there were but twenty acres of vines in the town of Portland, but in l870 the total had increased to 600 acres in the county. With the town of Portland as a center the industry spread rapidly east and west: the areas abutting this township quite naturally were the first to undertake this new crop. and so Fredonia became a part of what is now known as The Chautauqua and Lake Erie Grape Belt. in the Township of does it matter much. those 60 years in age Concord went on till approximated 50,000 contributed about 6000 acres. For several There is much difference of opinion just who was the pioneer Pomfret, at least so far as commercial grape growing is concerned, nor lt is very doubtful that any of the first planted vines still persist. altho are still to be found in the Township. Year by year the planting of the time was reached when the total acreage for the entire Belt acres, of which total the town of Pomfret years the total acreage. 50.000 , remained fairly stable, but within the past decade this acreage has gradually, but steadily. declined thru economic causes to the present level of approxi- mately 30.000, That this region is ideally adapted to the growing of American grapes is largely due to two earth features that characterize the section: namely. Lake Erie and the escarp- ment, or ridge of hills. The soils of the area are of secondary importance, tho contributing greatly to the success of the industry. The presence of large bodies of water amelior- ate the temperatures. while the bounding escarpment tends to confine the favorable tempera- tures between the lake and the ridge. Of all the regions that have been devoted to the growing of American grapes, The Chautauqua and Erie Belt most nearly approaches the ideal. 1 . . N 1 lCQUNWf ifMSWDQY ,.

WESI.EY C. LEECH I I I Nh STUDENT CQUNCL The first Student Council in the history of the Fredonia High School was organized in the fall of 1938. Its purpose is first. to secure satisfactory social life for the students: second, to create friendly rela- tions among the students: and, third, to preserve the law and order of the school. The membership of the Student Council consists of the four officers of each class and the faculty advisors, Mr. Dye and Mr. Corter. From these members four Council officers are chosen. This year the officers are John Foster, President: Barbara Luke, Vice-President: Roger Hep- pell, Secretary: and William Larson, Treasurer. During the school year the Student Council sponsored a system of evening socials which was carried out successfully. Various organiza- tions of the school cooperated with the Council in conducting several very pleasant affairs. The work of the Student Council created greater social activity and benefited the clubs financially. Having completed a highly successful year, the present Student Council hopes that throughout coming years the organization will con- tinue to function and will prove an aid to the school.

Each member is playing for the love of music: each is gripped by the breathtaking rhythm. There is the glory of the black and gold uniformed band tearing through a Sousa march. When the band swings down the street on parade, each player feels the triumph that comes from work well done. At the beginning of the year the band members elected their officers as follows: President, Kenneth Powell: Vice-President. Ernest Green: Secretary and Treasurer, Phyllis Gugino: Custodian of Uniforms, Fred Wirth. The band participated in the Western New York contest held in April at the Normal School. Following the precedent of former F. H. S. organizations, the band came through with flying colors in the class B contest numbers, The American Crusader and The Jolly Robbers . together with their favorite march, Semper Fidelisn. Under the able direction of Mr. Emanuelson, better known as Keith , the band upheld its record for worthy achievements. To him, it is A'Semper F1id6'll.SH. or always faithful . The many Senior members bid sad farewell to their director and to their fellow musicians, and wish them continued success in the future.

But before long the discords and other noises cease. Mr. Emanuelson has arrived. The spring concert, consisting of selections by the orchestra and glee club, will be Tuesday, April 18. At this concert the orchestra will play the contest numbers. The glee clubs and the orchestra will sing and play in unison, l'The Triumphal March by Grieg. The glee clubs will also sing their contest numbers. Our contest number is the The Dances from Nell Gywn by German. The string number for the festival is The Mill by Joachim Raff, This year our orchestra has a splendid prospect of obtaining a high rating at the annual Music Festival. We hope to make a fine showing and to leave our competitors far behind. The orchestra started out this year with a number of beginners, but they have done well, and we hope to be successful in all our endeavors.

The prospects for the 1939 glee club were most encouraging in the fall. We have met the first period on Mondays and Wednesdays for reg- ular practise during the year. We have elected officers as is the custom. Betty Gangi is Presidentg Hazel LeBaron, Vice-President: Barbara Pear- son, Treasurer: Reta Schoenthal and Angeline Gugino, Librarians. This spring we sponsored our annual concert with the mixed chorus and orchestra. We are hopeful of winning honors at the Music Festival at Fredonia State Normal School. Our contest numbers are In My Garden by Idabelle Firestone, In a Rosebush I Was Born , a Hungar- ian folk song, and Lullaby by W. A. Mozart. We have had a most enjoyable year working under the direction of Miss Gertrude Gerres, whose guidance helped to make practise a pleasure. We hope that next year's glee club may have the same experience. J EANNE HOVEY, '40 fz J ' 5 ifiiffl Ysffx 1 -WY .- 5 ., ,- MIXED Cl-JQQUS Singing voices rise: the Mixed Chorus is practising. Sometimes, it seems as if the group accomplishes nothing. and, then again, perfect harmony reigns. Christmas time - and the school is filled with the scent of ever- green boughs. In the most beautiful way in the world, the chorus tells the story of the first Christmas, in the cantata, The Story of Bethlehem . Of course, the organization elected officers at the beginning of the year. James Blodgett was chosen for President: Druscilla Long for Vice-President: Marian Brumm for Secretary: Rita Barone for Trea- surer: Jean Peters and Sheila Gregory for Librarians: and Anne Wheelock for Accompanist. The chorus, under the leadership of Miss Gertrude Cierres, has a membership of sixty students. Spring comes and the Music Festival is foremost in the minds of the singers. The group plans to compete again in the Western New York Music Festival and will surely win recognition.

The members, who are homemaking girls, organized the club to give more time to the desires of certain members for special activities: trips. crafts, hobbies, parties, and the consideration of vocations. We have had a successful year. In September we elected the fol- lowing officers: President, Lucille Chimera: Vice-President, Joyce Law- rence: Secretary, Alta Shaw: Treasurer, Carolyn Greco. Two profit- able socials were held. We have enjoyed a social evening and a theatre party. We expect to have other good times before the year is over. Jean McClenathan represented us at the meeting of the State Home Economics organization in Buffalo. The ideas brought back have helped to improve our club this year and will do much toward bettering the club in the future. We thank Miss Frisbee for her help in making this club a success. JOYCE LAWRENCE, '39 I S Q f - .45 LIBPQAVQY CLUB Perhaps you have read some of the best-sellers: Margaret I-lalsey's With Malice Toward Some or Marjorie Rawlings A'The Yearling . Everyone should try to read books because reading keeps one Well in- formed and affords enjoyment. The purpose of the Library Club is to develop a love for books. In September we elected Florence Miller, President: Doris Radloff. Vice-President: Delores Bileske, Secretary. We have had for advisors Miss Skinner, Mrs. Moore, and Miss Whitehorn. Among the activities for the year were a homecoming party for Miss Skinner, and an informal afternoon group party. We enjoyed a lecture by Miss Catherine Dailey of the Barker Library. By selling candy at noontime, we raised the money to decorate the library with drapes and attractive pottery. We have thoroughly enjoyed our work in the library this year and wish the club success in the future. We regret that illness made it neces- sary for Miss Skinner to take a leave of absence. We thank Mrs. Moore and Miss Whitehorn for their cooperation and assistance. DELORES BILLQSKE, '40 .-1 Ay , Fifi y -three fly-fc STAGE CREW CRASH I BING I BANG I HERE COMES THE STAGE CREW GANG I This year, under the directionlof Mr. Leech. a stage crew was organized. In it were pupils of the Fine Arts, the Industrial Arts, and the Home Economics classes. The students joined the Stage Crew Club not only because each had an interest in play production, but also be- cause each wished to be of service to the school. The work was divided among the members of the group. The boys did the work of electricians, carpenters, and stage hands: while the girls performed those duties which had to do with art and home economics. Each group functioned whenever there was any production on the stage. With the help of the Stage Crew, the Dramatic Club and other organizations presented many excellent performances during the year. SAM CASTILONE, '40 I X 8-fa 7, W f auf an afnv ww limmo Queue eros U!'i,!'lJl' .........i.... Thirteen boys to the rescue . At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Leech asked for volun- teers who would be willing to devote several periods a week to work in the shop. The purpose of the Flying Chips is to make the Industrial Arts room a better place in which to work. At one of the first meetings the officers were chosen: President, George Miller: Vice-President, Jack Vogt: Secretary, Charles Bardo: Treasurer, Robert Reuther. Since we believe in the saying All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , we meet every Thursday in the Mechanical Drawing room. After the business hour, we enjoy the programs prepared by the members of the group. Some of the programs so far have concerned model air- planes, hobbies and films. Before the year is over, we expect to take a trip and to hold a party. In conclusion, I can say, speaking for the group, that we have en- joyed Working under Mr. Leech's excellent instruction.

You may be next? We Sketch-Kats considered it necessary to have someone to direct us so we chose these officers. The first Sketch-Kat is Mary Postic- ciola, the second is Horace Leone, the third is Harold Wiltsie. Naturally. we cannot forget our Chief Sketch-Kat , Miss Miller. During the year the Kats pussy-footed to the Fredonia reservoir, the old Risley homestead, and to other places of historical interest, such as the the Darwin Barker Library, the first gas Well, the Grange Hall, the Webster home, and the old Private School building. In the future probably we shall be known internationally as Sketch-Kats for having had so much experience sketching valuable landmarks which only Fredonia can offer.

Our club started out this year with a bang and it is still going at top speed. At our first meeting on November first we elected the fol- lowing officers: President, Martin Kasbohm: Vice-President, Edward Blomg Secretary, Irma Winkelmang Treasurer, Julien Renswick. The Science Club has twenty members, with Mr. Robert Tallman as faculty advisor. Under his capable guidance the Club has worked out many interesting and instructive experiments. We visited the Dunkirk Industrial High School and the Repeater Station. Mr. Tallman and some of the boys spent a day at the Niagara Ealls power plant. We hope that in the near future we may be able to make a trip to the General Electric plant in Erie, and to one or two other places of interest. At the end of the Science C1ub's second year, the members wish every success to next year's club and to all the clubs which follow it. IRMA WINKELMAN.

Every members then knows that he will spend an evening learning to live up to the purpose of the many Hi-Y chapters in the United States: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character . This year, as before, the success of the club has been largely due to the fine counsel and interest of our faculty advisor, Mr. Leech. The officers this year have been Fred Wirth, President: John Foster, Vice-President, Curtis Barber, Secretary: and John Wunder, Treasurer. The officers have presented many interesting, as well as in- structive programs to the other club members. We have had several swims at the Jamestown Y. M. C. A., club visitations, induction ceremonies, an industrial trip to Buffalo, many parties, and have also given a school social. As our chapel program this year, we presented Mr. Scott of New York City, who, with the assistance of some of the club members, gave an account of Larry . A'Larry was a high school boy who developed his own philosophies of life and its problems. The year's activities will be concluded with an annual banquet when next year's officers will be installed. That next year's club may have success in the tenth year of the Alpha Hi-Y is our wish. CUR'1'1s BARBER, '3 9 I X BETA l-I I HY For eight years the Beta Hi-Y chapter has endeavored to do its part in keeping the Hi-Y purpose, which is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The officers have been Robert Bittner, President: Calvin Bartlett. Vice-President: Jack Radloff, Secretary and James Riehl, Treasurer. The efforts of Mr. George Belden, our advisor, to keep the club running smoothly have been very much appreciated by the members. Throughout the year, we have had many interesting programs. consisting of educational talks by guest speakers, discussions by Hi-Y members, and Bible study. The club filled two baskets for the needy at Christmas time. Swimming at the Jamestown Y.M.C.A., parties and basketball games made up the activities of the year. Delegates were sent to the Hi-Y conferences held at Lockport, at Buffalo, and at Camp Whitford near Angola. The activities of the Hi-Y club close at the end of the school year with the annual banquet and the election of next year's officers. To these new officers and to the members of Beta Hi-Y in its ninth year, we extend our wishes for success. JACK RADLOIIII, '40 .I x ..f I. Fifty-nine DEBATE CLUB Mr. Editor, Members of the Faculty, Students: The subject for discussion here is our debate club which represents Fredonia High School and has brought honors to it. The subject for discussion at our regular debates has been. Resolved: That the United States should establish an alliance with Cieat Britain . At present, let us look to our club. This year we have turned out a superior club. The efficient lead- ership of Mr. Corter during the first semester resulted in a thorough mastery of all available material on both sides of the question. Analysis, structure. drill were daily features of the class program. In the absence of Mr. Corter, Mrs. Tallman graciously stepped in as temporary coach. Her experience in public speaking made possible successful continuation of the work. Mr. Dye, too, helped with technique of speaking. We began our season with a debate in chapel. Then we embarked upon our interscholastic schedule. We met the following high schools: Kenmore, East Aurora, Niagara Falls, Jamestown, Arcade, and Bradford. Perhaps the most outstanding victories were those over Niagara Falls High School, the first since our club began, and over the freshmen of Niagara University. The most important decision was the single one we obtained at Jamestown in our final debate, a decision which left us win- ners of the Lake Shore circuit of the Allegheny College league. Later we shall compete for the cup at Allegheny. Those competing in our many debates were Charles Collesano, John Dickson, Clarence Ellis, John Foster, Edward Grescoviak, Roger Heppell, Charles Joy, Anthony Leone, Samuel Leone, Addis Manley, Ernest Renswick, Julien Renswick, Robert Tarbox, Harry Wurtz. SAMUEL LEONE, '40 I N DIQAMATIC CLUB The lights dim, a hush falls over the audience, the curtains part, and the Dramatic Club of Fredonia High School steps forward to receive the honors it deserves. The audience is held spellbound after the presenta- tion of the play She Was Only a Farmer's Daughter . Two other plays shared honors with the former, One Awful Halloween Night and Music at the Crossroads . Much hard work was put into these productions, but the club feels Well rewarded for its efforts by the res- ponse of the audience. Many weeks before the lights dimmed and the curtains parted, an important meeting took place. The purpose was to elect officers and the result was the election of Clifford Corbin as President, Ellen Roesch as Vice-President, Mary Lou Woods as Secretary, and Samuel Leone as Treasurer. After this meeting the club sponsored try-outs . These were for the purpose of choosing new talent for the Club. Meet- ings twice each month and the annual banquet were other important events. The Dramatic Club owes its success, not only to the actors, but to the directors, to the stage crew, and to the business manager. The co- operation of everyone has helped to make this organization outstanding. Before we turn up the lights and ring down the curtain, the club wishes to thank Mrs. Hunt for her unceasing effort to promote the suc- cess of the club. RETA SCHOENTHAL, '40 .hx ic'1,.-.

Miss Hazelton took first place for the best landscape and also for the best group picture. During the winter, we held meetings for instruction in the use of the darkroom in developing pictures. and many members took ad- vantage of the opportunity. Mr. Russell McLaren of the McLaren Studios invited the club to his studio where he instructed us in lighting effects, enlarging and printing.

Marjorie Read, Gertrude Rotunda and Doris Spinks were chosen to take the senior girls' places during the coming year. These new cheer leaders were trained by this year's competent squad.

F R E D O N I A F R E D O N I A P R E D O N I A FREDONIA FREDONIA TEAMATEAM-TEAM , x x ' IF FQQTBALL Last fall a large squad of boys turned out with hopes of representing Fredonia High School on the football field. Under the persistent training of Coach Dinty Moore these boys developed into a team unequalled by any other school in the South Western Conference. At Silver Creek, Fredonia played the opening game and the hosts fell under the power of the F. H. S. machine. Remarkable results were obtained as the second team en- tered the game. The final score was 12-0. Harry McKelvey and Mark Graser scored. After a week of hard work, the Hillbillies , our own team, met Falconer upon our field. It was a hard-fought game for both sides, but again, F. H. S. proved too strong for their opponents and the game ended 7-O. Captain McKelvey contributed the touchdown. A confident Orange and Black traveled to Gowanda for the third game. The boys played to no avail for neither goal wasa reached, and the score was a 0-0 tie. Dinty concentrated on another week of good training in preparation for the game with Salamanca. Both teams again failed to score, and rang up another scoreless tie. In the following week Lakewood met a fatal blow when they came to Fredonia with high hopes. The Hillbillies opened up and sent Lakewood home on the short end of a 20-0 score. In the wake of perfect blocking by McKelvey and Sisson, Thies scored once and Curaser twice. Fredonia and Westfield were now tied for the top place in the Southwestern Con- ference. The Orange and Black were undefeated, their goal had never been crossed. The deciding game was played in Fredonia's Mud Bowl and was an exhibition of the power of F. H. S. Cheek Scanio played a superior game as did McKelvey and Graser. who scored twice. This left the score 14-0 and Fredonia was victorious. Preparation began for the Armistice Day Classic. to be played at night on Dunkirk's field. Excitement ran high and a large crowd turned out for the game. F. H. S. met their defeat in the first few minutes of play. The remainder of the game was played in Dunkirk's territory, but the Orange failed to push over Maroon's pay-off stripe. During the season, our team was much benefited by the reserve man power and by the cooperation from the squad. Henry Mclielvey. captain. led the team through one of its most successful seasons. At the close of the season. a banquet was held at the White Inn to honor the squad. The Reverend Clifford Joshua of Silver Creek spoke and Captain McKeIvey received the banner awarded by Alfred University. JOHN CAVE.

Sixty-five Q11 BOYS' EAS KET BALL First call for basket ball practice was issued about two weeks after the close of the football season. Approximately forty boys reported for the first practice, but the squad was cut to twenty-two players by the time of our first game. We played two games before Christmas and won both of them. In League games we emerged victorious not once, but the season brought many thrills that will long be remembered. Our initial game with Dunkirk was an exciting battle throughout. The lead changed hands fourteen times during the game, and Dunkirk finally came out on the long end of the score - 29-30. We also had a close game with Westfield. We managed to stay ahead until the last two minutes, when we faltered before a desperate last quarter drive. The final score was 41-45 in favor of Westfield.

'- if lhwi-,L S Gi FQLS' SCDCCER Varsity teams for girls became a thing of the past at the close of the 1938 school year. A state-wide law prohibits any interscholastic competition: consequently, interclass games have become more popular than ever before. In September, the soccer season opened and after instruction and a few practice games, the teams from each class were chosen. Quite a number of girls enjoyed this game until the weather forced them to abandon it. In the place of interscholastic competition, several playdays were held. Playdays do much to develop sportsmanship and leadership. Since games are played entirely for recreation, there are no hard feelings be- tween teams. This year the playdays were held at Dunkirk, Silver Creek, Westfield and Fredonia. At the Fredonia playday both the High School and Normal School gymnasiums were used. Basketball, stunts, tumb- ling, ping-pong, relays, badminton, and social dancing were enjoyed. Ken Powell's orchestra furnished the music. ,N tm- any K., . fp? h t. .1 , r . ,fy If-4115, A5 Y A x -. k..!4 x - '. ,chi , 4, ., .. - . . , . c , , 5, , .

QIVQLSX PING DQNQ Ping pong was an innovation in Fredonia High School this year. Tables and other necessary equipment were purchased and thus boys and girls were given a wider range of games to choose from. After basketball season was over, the girls enlisted in partners for the ping pong tournament. This brought out many girls who did not compete in the more active sports. Badminton was also played en- thusiastically. These two games filled in the time between the basket- ball and softball seasons. When the Weather became warmer, the girls turned again to the out-of-doors. Teams for softball were chosen in the same manner as soccer and basketball teams were chosen. We Wish to thank Mrs. Hunt for a year of careful guidance and interesting competition.

From each class, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior, there were two teams chosen. Each team chose a captain and a manager. Then a schedule was drawn up. A Senior team captained by Josephine Leone, and including Anna May Rizzo, Barbara Luke, Antoinette Croce, Lena Ward, and Edythe Horey, came through the season undefeated. The other Senior team, with Ellen Roesch as its captain, placed second with only one defeat to mar its record. Intramurals here showed their superiority to interscholastic compe- tion. A much greater number of girls turned out, knowing that they would be given a chance to play. Basketball seemed to be the favorite sport, for more girls showed interest in it than in any other sport of the year. f A w... '.
