Athletics Football The football team of the Abraham L. Kellogg High School had a good record, considering the material and experience of the players. The team this year was composed of a few of last year's team with a number of men who had never played on this team before. This proved to be something of a drawback throughout the season. Although the team went through the season without a victory, it never gave up trying. This spirit of perseverance has become characteristic of Kellogg High. Basketball The basketball team had an outstanding record for this year. All the members of the team had had at least two or three years of experience, and all knew the fundamentals of the game well. Throughout the season the boys showed such high ability that Coach Roblee used 21 very difficult and new system of defense and completely changed the offense during the season. The team played in the sectional championship games. This is an honor for any high school, and a team must have a good team to compete in these games. Kellogg team was not in any league, but because of the outstanding record which it had established, the state recognized them and allowed them to play in the finals. The team beat Milford by a score of 32 to 16. The boys showed their ability and camethrough with a victory. The next game in the play-055 was with Weedsport, a team from the central part of the state. Kellogg team was going at its strongest, coming through with a score of Z8 to 24 in its favor. In the final game to decide the winner of the sectional championship, the Kellogg team played Hobart. This game was the hardest fought game of the season, and the boys were beaten in the last few minutes of play by a score of 17 to 18. Baseball 4 The baseball team has started out with a bang, and the boys are showing plenty of pep. The team has won six straight games, including two victories over the strong Oneonta High School nine and a victory over St. Patriclc's Academy. This team is a strong one and gave the boys plenty of opposition, but thus far none of the opposing teams has been able to get to Kendall Two Gun Chase, who held both teams to a few hits. The team is under the' instruction of the new coach and physical training director,iMr. Mayer. He has had much experience as a baseball player, and he has rounded the boys into a well oiled machine.

Organizations I Student Association The Student Association of the Abraham L. Kellogg High School was organized at the beginning of the school year, 1929-1930, with the purpose of making better the school. By paying an entrance fee of fifty cents, a student in the junior or senior high school can join the association. Weekly dues are five cents, to be paid not later than the weekly meeting of the organization. If dues are not paid on time, a fine of five cents is levied. One may ask this question: What does the member get out of it? The member is admitted to all athletic contests free of charge. This does not include games played on another court or games played on these grounds between two teams other than the Kellogg team. The member is also admitted to all other activities sponsored by the association, without additional charge. This year a new system was adopted by the association. If a person wanted to participate in any athletics, he had to become an active member of the association and in good standing. This association has shown remarkable progress during the three years of its existence. The first year a large percentage of students joined, but it had no comparison with the last two years. The present year the total number of members in good standing is approximately ninety. Since the year the association was formed, it has been the custom to elect juniors or seniors to the offices of importance, which are: President, vice- president, secretary and treasurer. Any one of the above ofiicers earns a letter for acting in one of these capacities for a full school year. Committees carry on much of the work of the society. There are the following committees appointed each year from members in good standing: Program committee, publicity committee, entertainment committee, music committee and athletic committee. The program committee has charge of the Friday morning programs each week. Some of the outstanding programs have been: Pictures of National Parks by the Economic Geography Class. How Latin is Helpful to Everyday Life by the Latin Classes. How Homemaking Helps You by the Homemaking Class Comedies were presented by the fifth and sixth grades and by the English three and the English four classes. Publicity committee has advertised games by making and displaying post- ers for school activities. Entertainment committee held a Valentine and Leap Year social. The Nineteen
