Harris, '90, was recently elected acting cashier ofthe City National Bank of this city. Miss Etfa H. Spencer, '99, of San Francisco, Cal., recently visited friends here. Holhert VV. Fear, '09, B.

But S, while it stands for Seniors, stands also for speed, and one of the little fellows was quickly grabbed and -well I wo11 't stop to tell you what happened -but the other one of the innocent pair, when he saw what was happening to his dear little pal, turned and fled ignominiously homeward. The first eventually reached home, minus some of the least essential parts of his wardrobe Zlllll a few toys, but as for the second, all that we can think to say is, t'He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day. A little while ago, the 'EQEIIII 111en1bers had their pictures taken, tonight, the record of their brilliant plays will appear in magazine form. As a reward for winning the ga111e, the players have received their tickets to the Alumni banquet, tl1e privilege of wearing the numeral '21, and their certificates of merit. BIARIUN SI'lt'l'1Ii V.

JI UN iz, 1921 29 , i THE BASEBALL TEAM not stop with one victory but went thru the season ot' eleven games and won seven of them. 'Phat is the best showing G. H. S. has had in baseball in a long time. During the season our team met and defeated some good teams. Among them were Fonda High School, Am- sterdam High School, Canajoharie High School, lCxcelsior High School, Rotterdam High School, and liansingburg High School. 'l'he team snttered defeat at the hands of Schenectady, Johnstown and Amsterdam, because some of our best men were out of the game. ln all athletics during the past year, G. H. S. has played thirty-three games. Of this number they have won twenty. Not very often does a High School have such an average. You will ag1'ee that this mark is something ot' which to be proud. G. H. S. students have supported the teams somewhat better during the past year and the teams wish to thank those who came out to cheer them on. Our team certainly works best when it is backed by a good crowd of its fellow students. We will now leave thots of athletics for an- other year. Some of' us will be leaving dear old G. H. S. for good and probably will not be able to attend many more games. But you who are left, do your best for Alma Mater, whether you play on the teams or are among the spee- tators. We who will have passed on to other fields will hear ot' G. H. S. and its athletics. Let us hear good reports. We who are leaving, one and all, say Good luck to you forever, our beloved G. H. S. R.

.I UNH, 1921 31. frbangz urns The time has come to look over the last in- stallment of the exchanges. 'Phe year's work with them has been one of pleasure. The time spent has been Well Worth while and we have learned much in these hours. lt is indeed in- spiring to watch for exchanges and run through them, observing the improvements in the diiicer- ent departments and the new ideas being car- ried out. It is astonishing to see in how many different ways a good paper may be edited and the majority of papers have shown much origin- ality in this respect. , As this is the last issue of the year, THE 0aAci.a takes this opportunity to thank all the exchanges for their co-operation during the past year. VVe have certainly benefited from the experience and we hope that some of the papers may also have benefited by Tm: Umcnl-:.
