The team has won only one of its league games. They beat Otego by u. score of 9-3. Our two pitchers, Everett Sargent and Shirley Van Valkenburg, have done very well but the rest of the team gave them little support in the majority of games. Next yeai-'s team should be as strong because several of the new players have gained valuable experience in this year's games which should make up for the loss of two players. The boys' tennis tournament was won by James Moore. BASE BALL SQUAD. V N 1 l l Standing : John Bushnell.

THE ALBANY TRIP On Saturday, May 26th, at about 5:30 A. a group of twenty-five Juniors and Seniors started out from the post odice, The company in- cluded Mrs. Roffe and Mr. Seaman as guides and chaperons with Mr. West- cott as bus driver. The ride was a trifle tedious but points of interest took away the monotony. After arriving in Albany, about the first thing was the visit to the top of the State Ofllce Building to look over the city from thi-rty- two stories. Most of the party had never had this sensation and found it very novel. ' From here, the visitors went through the underground passage to the Capitol, walked up its million dollar stairs, went through the chambers of the Senate and Assembly, the Governor's office, and the Museum. The whole of it was informative and interesting. - At noon, the group had lunch in a Chinese-American restaurant, which was a novel experience for most of the students. The ilrst visit of the afternoon was to the Schuyler mansion, seeing here where the historical tomahawk dented the stairs, where Washington slept, the room in which Alexander Hamilton was married, and much rare colonial furniture.- Last, in Albany, the party went through the State Education Build- ing and saw most of the Museum. This was the most educational part of the day, probably, and very worth while. g On the way home, supper was eaten at Thatcher Park, near thellndian Ladder. Some of the enthusiastic climbed around this cliff and further en- joyed the extraordinary view. ' ' The long ride home was broken by a trip to the movies in Cobleskill to top off the day. The whole day was well directed by the chaperons so that the time was spent most profitably and educationally. .......1..l?.4..... V CHAPEL PROGRAMS The chapel programs during the past year have been very beneficial. Both teachers and pupils deserve to be complimented upon the success of these exercises. Besides, the school has been very fortunate in securing various prominent, as well as local, speakers to address the student body. Not only have these programs been very entertaining, but educational, as well. The English classes, under the direction of Mrs. Shaw, presented, dur- ing February, sketches about the lives of famous men born in February. Among these were: Benjamin Franklin, Washington, Lincoln, and Stone- wall Jackson. Mr, Neher's Agricultural boys' program consisted of the usual opening ceremony of the Future Farmers of America. Later some of the boys told of their experiences at the Farm and' Home Week at Cornell. The Thanksgiving program given by Miss Tamsett's room consisted of several songs, two plays, one a pantomime and the other a tableau. During these plays several songs and dances were given.
