FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 21 Q N 1 'am -Alton Thomas, '22 THLETICS this year in Prattsburg High School have been a decided success so far as building up a winning basket ball team is concerned. The basket ball team has established as good a record as most, and far better than many, teams in the country. It has made a good showing against most of the teams in Steuben and surrounding counties. The financial part of Athletics were also handled successfully. XVe were aided by the High School Athletic Association and board of Education. Without the aid of these our basket ball team would have been a decided failure because we could not afford to rent a hall for the purpose of play- ing basket ball and we could not think of playing out of town games. Next year Prattsburg should have a good fast team, a team composed of more experienced players and a team which should be as good as any high school team in the county. We sincerely hope that the people of the community will give this team the support they desire by attending the games. THE TALE OF THE TEAM We had a lot of fun this year, A playing basket ballg We quit in early springtime Tho' we began in early fall. VVe had some quite exciting games, We won and lost a few: NVe got into some arguments And had a scrap or two. But now it's getting warmer, And baseball's in the airg We have really started playing And we're beating everywhere. -Herbert Clark,'24
