1935 THE GREENWITCH 1935 Athletic Association Another year has come and gone for our Athletic Association. Victories and defeats have been met with smiles from all in the Association. We have had several activities during this year. First, we had our A. A. movie entitled Friends of Mr. Sweeney. This proved to be successful for our Athletic Association. Halloween came, and with it our party. Games, dancing, cider and doughnuts were enjoyed by all and prizes were awarded for various costumes to some of the students. During the year, we were fortunate in having Mr. Coty with us twice. The first tin.e, he showed us some slides on the Olympic Games, and the second time, some slides on deep sea diving and fishing. They were all very interesting to the students and members of the vicinity alike. The A. A. play, Merton of the Movies, written by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, and produced under the direction of Miss Katherine Cornish on De- cember 14, was a big success. Merton Gill is a humble clerk who vows to go to Hollywood to become an actor in the movies. The gates of Hollywood fail to open to Merton's Open Sesame. For three weeks, Merton trudges wearily from one studio to another. Good luck comes to him in the guise of the Montague girl, who helps him secure a small part as an extra. Merton is tricked into believing that he is to be featured in fine, soul- stirring drama but instead is starred in a series of Buckeye Comedies. The cast includes: Theodore Herrington Melvine Howland Jacob Berkowitz Miriam Wells Mary Washburn. Jack Hill Richard Tefft Leon Tucker Edward Stiles Katherine Welch Ruth Hayner Ruth Henry Elwood Titus William Barron Kenyon Buell Martin Welch Jane Brown Last but not least, we have of course, had our sports, football, basketball, and baseball. In some of the games G. H. S. has been successful, and some unsuccess- ful. However, our boys stuck to it and fcught to the end. To them, the students, and the A. A. owe much. So now, the school year has come to an end, and each and every one of us joins in saying, Good luck and Success to the Athletic Association in coming years. 30
