16 SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 Home and School League The Home and School League which has been gaining in numbers and in -V 7 D C . usefulness year by year, has made many close and valuable contacts with the facultv and students of Hamburg High School durine' the ast vear. 1 2' C D L By means of a series of programs arranged by the League, the students, under the direction of the faculty, have been able to demonstrate to the people of Hamburg what is really being accomplished in the school. The success of these demonstrations has done much to raise in the minds of school patrons, the estimates of the accomplishments of the various departments. The League, through its Student Activities Committee, has rendered real service to the student activities. ln order to stimulate interest in, and provide opportunity for a greater number to take part in basketball, a splendid trophy was given to the school to promote inter-class basketball. A tennis cup has also been provided to encourage participation in the game of tennis. In addition to these gifts are those presented with the purpose in mind of enhancing the beauty of the new building. Two Persian mats for the splendid tables presented to the school by the XVomen's Club and the two decorative urns which complete the ensemble are also lasting reminders of the Home and School League. Best of all were the personal contacts which came through the furnishing of transportation for various out-of-town games and the services of chaperones, patrons and patronesses for student activities. lt has been suggested by some members of the League that it would be a fine thing for the League and the school it the student body had some represen- tation on the executive committees of the organization.

illltflll To the Seniors of 't1Sl2T Hamburg High School, Hamburg, N. Y. The Aluinni Association of the Hainburg High School wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Senior Class of 1927. During the past four years your various achieveinents have been noted with considerable pleasure and are a credit, not only to you, as a senior class, but set an example for the entire student body, upholding the standards of our Alina Mater, which will ever be dear to our nieinories. Many students, however, are satisfied to the extent of their graduation, breathing a sigh of relief, thinking their duties and responsibilities are over so far as the High School is concerned, but, thanks to some of our former grad- uates, who realize the importance of keeping in touch with the activities of our school and the fostering of the school spirit, this Alunini Association was founded. Many things have been accomplished by the Association. You are all familiar with the prize speaking contest and the benefits derived by the students, not alone by the prizes, but by the opportunity it affords every contestant and the tendency to raise the inarks of all the students.
