FITZPATRICK To a man who has served as Clerk for the Board of Education of the Plattsburgh Public Schools for thirty-three years! To a man who, while leading a busy life in the contracting business, has become known as a local historian. To a man with whom we wish we could have the opportunity to associate more closely!

Between selling and taking tickets at all athletic events and selling candy, coke, book covers, pennants, pins, etc., members of this club are never idle. Coveted sweater awards are made for a person who has been a member for three years. All money made by the club is used for gifts to the ..school. This year a public address system lor the auditorium was installed. During the first five months of its existence the Art Club has busied itself with poster making and sketching items of interest to the various members. We started with a nucleus of 12 members. Orders are taken for posters advertising the social events held by other school organizations. Larger projects have been planned which will take the combined effort of the group. G.

PHS, how- ever, had outscored every opponent in the first 3 down column to rack up five wins, one tie and 2 two defeats. The outlook for the 1950 season is very bright in that 44 lettermen of the 51 award winners will be on hand to bring home the CVL crown.

BASKETBALL— 1949-1950 The present court schedule is but one third over, but the most significant factor is that the inexperienced Hornets have maintained their superiority over a much more experi- enced St. John's five in dropping the Irish 45 to 43 after the Upper Broad Streeters had won seven straight.
