.TUNE Trophies and Awards The Year in Review SIGNAL HONORS have come to Hutchinson-Central High School this year. The award in debate, the Syracuse Cup for championship in swimming, the winning of the American Legion-Buffalo Evening News essay contest, and the musical awards won by Hutchinson students-these mark days which Hutchinsonians of the school years 1935 to 1939 will always remember. On December 7 the debate teams turned in double victories over Lafayette and Technical to amass 19 points. Hutchinson was the only school that won both debates in the fall series. On March 28 the debate teams again 'scored double victories -again Hutchinson was the only school to make such a record - and won the city championship. This time the victories were wrested from Fosdick and East. Long will we remember the assembly of Friday, March 29, when Betty Iayne Roedel, Nathan Segel, Charles Martin, Irma Gritzke, Beatrice Pfleger, Robert Morton, and the debate coaches, Miss Halloran and Mr. Floyd Hill, were congratulated. Who can forget the All-High swimming meet at Bennett, climax of a splendidly successful season, when Hutchinson wrested the city champion- ship from Bennett and Lafayette? As the events were run off, excitement mounted until Rozmyslowski placed first in diving, and finally in the last event of the afternoon, the Brown and Blue relay team came in first. Names famed in 1935 swimming history include Kenneth Holgate, Leo Rozmyslowski, Gus Caros, lack and Sam McKenzie, Allan and William Gushue, Anthony Catanzaro, Warren Freeburg, Michael Scavone, Eugene Nurmi, Frank McGinley, Art Richardson, manager, and Coach Iack Warren. On March 29 Mr. Castle officially presented the cup to the school, and Hutchinsonians had the opportunity to accord honor to the swimmers. Besides these championships in debate and swimming, Hutchinson through Stephen Madey won city-wide mention in the Legion contest to promote Americanisrn. Stephen won the Easter trip to Washington, while Winifred Marshall placed second in the Buffalo public high school group, and Lucille Mattern won an honorable mention. More recently, Hutchinson has been happy' to honor her musically inclined students-Doris Machemer and Robert Curry who took firsts in the voice contests at the Elmwood Music Hall on May 77 Harry Stern who placed first in the Victor Recording at THE LAFAYETTE in May and at THE BUFFALO on Amateur Night, May 75 and Gus Lewis and Anthony Catania who took first and second place at THE BUFFALO on April 30.

Honor and Distinction The Year in Review HUTCHINSON'S scholarship record for the school year 1934-35 is an unusually high one, as well as one in which constant progress has been made. At the first honor roll assembly on November 23, when Dr. Ernest C. Hartwell, superintendent of the schools of Buffalo, was speaker, 150 Hutchin- sonians were honored for high scholarship. At the second honor roll assembly on February 15, when Dr. Frank C. Densberger, superintendent of the Kenmore schools, presented the awards, 197 Hutchinson students were on the honor roll. At the third honor assembly on May 10, Mr. Henry G. Gilland, headmaster of The Nichols School, was the guest-speaker. On this occasion, 221 Hutchin- sonians received awards for high scholarship. At the time we go to press, figures for the fourth and last quarter are, of course, not yet available. Rivalry for the highest scholarship honors this year was keenest among the underclassmen, a circumstance which points to even keener competition next year. For the first quarter there was a tie for highest honors between Betty lane Mordan, now vice president of the junior class, and Margaret Stet- tenbenz, a 440 sophomore. Both girls achieved an average of 97.2. For the second quarter, Margaret again tied for highest honors-this time with Annette Schwenk of 300. Their averages for this quarter were 97.3. For the third quarter Annette stood highest with an average of 98.4, but Norma Enea, member of the freshman debate team, and of studyroom 477, was close behind her with an average of 97.4. Highest room numbers for the school year went each quarter to Miss Manhardt's studyroom, 300, which placed 24 the first quarter, 32 the second quarter, and 25 the third quarter. Miss Klipfel's freshman room kept climbing throughout the year, having placed second with 14 the first quarter, second with 22 the second, and 22 the third. This year Miss Hall in charge of the ,scholarship committee instituted awards to merit pupils in assembly. Any student attaining an average falling between 85 and 89.9 is entitled to an award for placing on the merit roll. At the first honor roll assembly, 469 pupils won merit awards. This number mounted the second quarter, but fell to 442 awards for merit made in May. This splendid record in scholarship made in the school year 1934-35 calls upon all students who will be sophomores, juniors, or seniors next year to carry on this high distinction. 1935
