The four representatives- cluesen were Stella Biesada, Robert Rugg, Helen Gates and Mildred Foley. Miss Potter, Mrs. Calkins and Miss Rix were the faculty members on this committeb. - Nihe had some very entertaining and educational assemblies. The Seventh grade presented a Hallowe'en play, William the' Great, a magician, entertained us, and there were several speakers. Mr. Viegle from the Rochester Business Institute talked on the 100952 man. Mr. Livingston, a neformed tramp, talked on the subject Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?'i We also had a very interesting talk about Venezuaela, by a former residfent of that country. In January Mr. Thompson called the committee together and asked each student representative to select another student from each room to assist. The new representatives were Marjorie Rouch, Lauretta Sheahen, Betty Maher and Betty Rooney with Miss Rix as our Faculty Chairman. Mr. Thompson had students conduct assemblies on Tuesdays for the purpose of making announcements and boosting school spirit. One assembly that the students enjoyed very much was a take4off on a faculty meeting by a group of students. The assembly committee is busy with plans to make its last assembly the most successful of the year. It will be the Parade of Fashions. As Walter VVinehell says, An Orchid to Mr. Thompson for initiating student conducted assemblies. Q lltiilJltlitJlOl0lCQ'7i0l0itQ Ditiitlivtlitliflithitff 29

THE ECHO l?l0i0QOQ0l0Q0lflli0i0lK llifiiibitlllilflltlii U VARSITY BASEBALL Lack of a suitable diamond and bad weather conditions combined to get the 1934 Ontario High School baseball team ot? tio a slow start. The iimt game of the year saw Ontario take one of the worst beatings in the history of the school and that to the ancient rival, Williamson High. But the never-say-die spirit came to the fore and Ontario came- back the next week to do something that an Ontario team has not done in many a year. The boys defeated the classy Newark High nine by an 8 to 2 score. Ontario is in the B league this year with Williamson and Wiolcott. Thus far the Blue and White has won one' and lost one in the league with a very important game with Williamson in the offing as this goes to press. A victory over Wolcott High gave the boys tlieir first win in the league. Other games found the locals losing out to Webster by a 3 to 0 count and winning an exciting non-league game against Sodus by a 6 to 2 score. Graduation will take its usual toll of players and Ontario views with regret the loss of Thomas Agnello, Roger Keymel, Wilsonl Fosdick, Bill. Water- man, Robert Beach, Kenneth Porray, Donald Albright, Walter Priestly, and Robert Mattison, who returned to take a post-graduate course, and who gave a splendid exhibition of pitching skill. Much credit must be given to Hugh Risley, manager, who also graduates. His help in arranging game details was of great help to Coach Drews. During the five year period in baseball the teams have won 26 games and have lost only nine games to date. The boys won the Ty Cobb trophy, emblem- atic of baseball supremacy in Wayne County, in 1930, finished second in the league standings for the other three years and the standing to date in the B leauge is that of second place, with an excellent chance of going into a tie for first place as this is being written. Let's hope that the rest of the story will read pleasantly! SQFAD MEMBERS: Rc-bert Beach, captain, lb, Willson Fosdick, lb, Stanley Baart, 2b, Charles McCarty, 2b, R.
