Hazen of the good ship R.H.H.S. is given a new mate to-day, as Mr. Mohr- man is presented with the gavel of our G.O. in the assembly hall.

Another Saturday, with nothing to do but enjoy yourself and rest up for the next week's work. lVIonday, Oct. 2. As the Annex crew did not witness the- installation of the new G.O. officers, it was given in duplicate at No. 51 this morning. Tuesday, Oct. 3. Annex 90 also could not be present at the regular installation, so another was held there in the forenoon. VV'ednesday, Oct. 4. To-day passes as usual, with no extraor- dinary happenings to write up in the log. Thursday, Oct. 5. Philup Space again inserts himself here, so the log shall appear complete and pass the skipper's inspection. Friday, Oct. 6. To-day is called club day, and the stage is crowded with speakers all anxious to boost their respective clubs. And such a number of clubs as there are! Our new stage should fast appear if we wish to seat all of our eager club representatives upon the platform. Saturday, Oct. 7. The first soccer game of the season was played to-day with Boys High School. Both schools won. That is, they QBoys High, managed to tie the score, and as a result it looks like this: I--I. Our home grounds are at the Democratic Field. Monday, Oct. 9. Back again, with nothing unusual to re- cord to-day. Tuesday, Oct. IO. To-day is also an uneventful one, or any- way the writer of this knows of nothing that would interest the reader. And so ends Tuesday the tenth. Wednesday, Oct. II. Another soccer game was played to-day. This time we were beaten-by Poly Prep. The score was 1--O. Thursday, Oct. 12. Columbus Day! Christopher donates a holiday to us. CKi-ma-ka! Sail on! etc.j Friday, Oct 13. An assembly for, or in behalf of, Autumn took place this morning, and we were fav- ored with a remarkable bit of vocal demon- stration by one of the Glee Club members! This afternoon R.H.H.S. was scheduled to play Jamaica, but the game was not played, and so we delay another victory. Saturday, Oct. 14. In the afternoon of this date R.H.H.S. was entered in a Cross Country race. The other contestants were Commercial, Evan- der Childs, and Jamaica High Schools. We came in first place. Some team! Monday, Oct. 16. Another week started, and after 3 o'clock Cor, to be exact, at 3105, the Clarenceville Station was lined with about 2.0 fellows who were all intent upon making a bull's- eyen look like a screen door. Thus the Rifle Club held its first practice in a Brooklyn armory. Tuesday, Oct. 17. Did you ever hear of Columbia Hall? Never mind if you haven't-anyway we needed a new basketball court, and so, prestof a few hundred dollars gave Rich- mond Hill a new place for diversion called the Auditorium Recreation Center. Also

I VVednesday, Sept. 13.

Thursday, Sept. 21. Nothing much of important news value in this our tenth day of the term. Friday, Sept. 22. At last We have enough room in the as- sembly periods Cweeklyj.

The Orchestra entertains us with our old favorite, Light Cavalry, and two artists of the fair sex entertain and honor us with vocal and piano solos, which are very much appreciated by the student body.

Glenn McCori1zeIl C Mac J. ora 2 , THLETIE5 Richmond Hill High School is at present in one of its best athletic periods, the reason being that all of the men on the teams are of championship caliber. There is our champion Tennis Team, which proved to the schools of Queens that Richmond Hill High can produce racquet wielders. Here- tofore Flushing had monopolized the cham- pionship. A Golf Team representing this school won the golf championship of New York City. Then there is the Baseball Team, which brought to light a number of future Babe Ruths, Artie Nehfs, and Wally Pipps. Bu! now the major sport is Brzskelbzzll, a game in which Richmond Hill has more championship men than in any other school sport. Now, lVIr. Student and Miss Student, it is up to you to do your part. Show the season's teams that you are back of them and ready to yell your loudest for them. Go to the games, and give your champions somebody to fight for. Follow the crowd! Go to the athletic meets of this season.
