- ...W 3 -..wa -. F BASEBALL The baseball season has started out with a bang. A great deal of interest has been shown by the student body and the boys who intend to make a good showing in the league this year. Peter Cohen. '20, manager, has arranged a full schedule for the year. Francis J. Scarr and jack Martin, coaches, are doing their best to make the team a success. The appearance of the nine, on the diamond, with brand new suits and equipment, furnished by the Board, was a gratifying surprise. So far, the boys have won seven of the ten games played-truly a remarkable record. We hope that the remainder of the season will be as successful. The senior boys who play on the team are: Michael lglilas, Captain: Theodore Ruekert, Vtfilliam Bridgewater, Thomas Ingui, Stephen Daniels, Marinus Galanti. BOYS' BASKETBALL The schedule of the boys' basketball season consisted of seventeen games, sixteen being' with League teams, and thc other game with the State Normal at Montclair.

Much enthusiasm was shown by all classes making the practises most inter- esting. Margaret lleales, '20, arranged an excellent sched- ule for the year. Fifteen games were played, of which twelve were with league teams. Altho the schools played were larger, the majority of the games were victories for Hasbrouck Heights. Miss XX'alker, coach, deserves much credit for the effort and interest she put into her work. The senior girls who received their letters were: Mar- garet Beales, Marion Ratt, Ruth Coyle, Mima Stevens and Henrietta List. The seniors were most successful in the interclass basketball events, defeating the juniors by a score of 15-4. As a result, they received the silver trophy cup, on which their name has been placed. 1920 INTERSCI-IOLASTIC DEBATES A big victory of the year was the winning of a silver cup in recognition of having defeated all other schools in our group in the Rutgers lnterscholastic Debating Contest. The first debate was held March 19, at Ridgefield Park. Our team, consisting of lleter Cohen, '20, rebuttal leader: Russel tiokey, '20: Carl lillllllllil, '203 and Michael llilas. '20, alternate, upheld the negative side of the question: Resolved, that the United States should establish a pro- tectorate over Mexico similar to that over Cuba. Our debaters proved themselves superior to their opponents in knowledge of the subject, logical reasoning, and refutation. The next step was to meet North Plainfield. winner of the North Plainfield-Bound llrook debate, April 30, in the High School Auditorium. This time it was our task to prove that immigration to the United States should be prohibited for a period of at least tive years. This was done so successfully by our debaters, Peter Cohen, '20, rebuttal leader: Marion Raft, '20g Carl J. Lalumia, ,2O, and Michael Bilas, '20, alternate, that Hasbrouck Heights was again victorious. At both debates the school backing was strong, and the cheers and songs vigorous. The members of the team, and Miss Loosen, who coached them, are to be congratu- lated for bringing this victory to Hasbrouck High.
