ATHLETICS Maltituck High School Athletic Association Upon returning to school in September of 1923 it was decid- ed to reorganize the athletic association and have all other ath- letic clubs under that name. It was very strongly voted in favor of it and that the basketball, baseball and tennis interests should be carried out by the association. Any boy or girl in the high school and seventh and eighth grades was eligible to join. A fee of 25c was charged for joining and 10c a month thereafter. A set of by-laws and a good con- stitution were then drawn up. The association has taken charge of the interests of the basketball teams, standing back of them, supporting them in every way and enabling them to play throughout the season. It has also enabled the school to have two fine tennis courts. The money for the association was received through the dues, from the receipts of basketball games and mostly by means of getting subscriptions for the Curtis Publishing Co. A scheme was made so that we received half of the money for subscription to one of the magazines put out by this company. About $60.00 was given to the association. $120.00 being col- lected in all. Cars werer hired for transportation and a good deal of sup- plies were bought from Alex Taylor Company and others. Alice Fisher, President; Josephine Cooper, Vice President; Arnold Jackson, Secretary; William Woodward, Treasurer. BASKETBALL Our Mattituck High School girls’ basketball team, under the management of Josephine Cooper and the coaching of Miss Covert made out fairly well this season. Page Seventeen
