Four years ago, we gathered together bewildered and inexperienced fresh- men. Today, we stand before you, greatly changed, eager for the adventures of the approaching years. We pause to offer to Alma Mater our gratitude for all we have gained under her guidance-the opportunity to participate in widely different activities, the wealth of knowledge, priceless friendships. We have come our many ways, tested by many obstacles, but ever striding forward. Now as we are about to embark on new enterprises we begin to realize how much a part of us Riverside really is. Our life has been centered around our school and ever, together with the happiness and festivities of this day, will it remain in our memories. For four years our work, our play, our joys, our sorrows, all have had the background, Riverside. The future offers a challenge and we can meet it with a sense of security and fitness born of our training here. Debate, dramatics and declamation have given us confidence and poise. Publications, such as the Pilot and the Skipper, have offered a practical experience in organization besides literary training. Finally, the athletic field has given us the meaning of sportsmanship, fair play and cooperation. All this and more has our school given us. NOW that separation is imminent, we feel only sincere regret, interwoven with the deepest appreciation to Mr. Whitney, Mr. Spear, and our teachers who have with infinite patience brought us to this point. But before we go, we present to the Class of 1936, the Purple and Gold, symbol of faithfulness, obedience, love, and service. May you always uphold and keep unblemished these colors and the high ideals for which they stand. Richard Pawlowski. JUNIOR RESPONSE In behalf of the Class of 1936 I accept the charge placed upon us by you, the Class of 1935. We promise to be faithful to the Purple and the Gold, and to honor and uphold our school in every phase of its activity. It is with admiration and acknowled ment of our success in school life, . g Y . that we extend to you our most sincere congratulations, and wish you even greater success in the future. Robert I. Dalalmun. THE SKIPPER 7 CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1935 presents to Riverside High School a mythical volume bound in memories. It was written by the members of the class in collaboration with Father Time. On its purple cover in words of gold is written: The History of the Class of 193 S Opening the book we find on the first page a Dedication: To our teachers for their uidance, assistance and atience, durin our Q g . . . . . . ,, four years at Riverside, this book is affectionately dedicated. CHAPTER I-Disillusionment Once upon a time, fit begins, as all good books beginj there came to Riverside High School a group of awkward, innocent creatures fresh from Grammar School, so fresh indeed, that they were immediately labeled Fresh- menf, This was in September, 1931. Strangely enough, the year is noi famous in the history of the world. On the contrary, unheralded and unrecognized the Class of '35 was introduced to the perplexities and presupposed glories of high school life. Immediately, we met our first disillusionment-Homework. -Something new was this, but not for long. Homework, homework, and more homework, made us hatefully familiar with this phase of our new life. And fortunate it was! We had need of this knowledge when in January, 1932, we first met the nemesis of all high school students, the Regents Examinations. Disillusioned we were again, but battered and bruised, we managed to survive and struggle on. With brief respites, holidays and Easter vacation, we pushed ahead regard- less of the pranks of the Sophomores and the indifference of the Juniors and Seniors. In June, once again we battled the Regents and exhausted and dispirited, we closed our first year at Riverside. CHAPTER II-Readjustment Refreshed by the Summer vacation and with spirits revived, we entered our Sophomore year. We ridiculed and molested the new Freshmen according to the ancient right of Sophomores. We acquired a new dignity and began to actively participate in school activities. Regents in January and June came and went, and we treated them with the indifference of hardy veterans and Sophomores. CHAPTER III-Unification With the beginning of the Junior Year, high school life took on a new significance. A realization of our importance, a feeling of satisfaction banded together a heretofore heterogeneous group into a unified class. In school activities we won additional laurels. In May the class assembled for election of officers. From several worthy nominations there were chosen the following: Howard McHenry, president, Cora Gleber, vice-president, Howard Love, 8 THE SKIPPER treasurer, Ruth La Vere, secretary, Cecil Caldwell and Claire Lee, marshals. Events of our Junior year were brought to their climax when the class as a whole occupied the limelight on that day of days, Junior Day, in May, 1934, when, as we thought then, we surpassed even our elder brothers, the Seniors, in dignity and stateliness. CHAPTER IV-Satisfaction Senior year-a year of mingled dreams and memories-a year of new responsibilities and greater prominence! Eager but dignified we began it, serious and somewhat sad we see it ending. This school year has been one of achieve- ment for the Senior Class. Its members figured prominently in scholarship, athletics, dramatics, speaking contests, and school publications. In April the Class organized and elected as officers: Richard Pawlowski, president, Elizabeth Keefe, vice-presi- dent, Ernest Bodnar, treasurer, Eleanor Fink, secretary, Frances Parker and Harvey Wolko, marshals, Marvin Rubin, prophet, Howard McHenry, historian, Ruth Proseus, Class Poet, Louis Pfohl, Class Day Song writer. Besides the achievements of individual members, the Senior Class offers as its greatest claim to distinction, the inauguration of a Class Year Book, the first in Riverside High School. You have now the history of our class up to this day, Senior Class Day. It is a meager account, doing little justice to the events of the past four years. But it was written by Youth, and Youth dwells not in the past but in the future. The last page of this history is not yet written upon. Its blank whiteness tells mutely that this work is not yet Hnished. On this page will be written the account of an important event soon to come, the culmination of the high school career of the Class of ,3S, the grand finale to four happy years at Riverside, our Graduation Day. Howard McHenry. THE SKIPPER 9 CLASS PROPHECY TIME-A summer's day in 1945. The scene opens in the palatial office of Richard Greene, scientist and inventor par-excellence, famous for his invention of toothless combs for brush haircuts. Professor Greene is sitting at his desk, avidly perusing a copy of that famous art magazine, Ballyhoo, and at the same time fondly, almost rever- ently, recalling his happy days at Riverside High School. A knock at the door is heard and before Professor Greene can utter a come in , the door opens to admit Charles Braithwaite, famous criminal lawyer, he has just finished a successful defense of Otis Lewke, who has been charged with stealing -that is-stealing the show from Clark Gable Wolko in his latest motion picture hit, Hansel and Gretel. Without further ado the conversation begins: Charles-Qexcitedlyj Well, have you Hnished it? Have you finished it? Don't stand there gaping at me like a fool. I asked you a question. Greene-Cnonchalantlyj Finished what? Charles-Your invention! your invention! What do you think I'm talk- ing about? Greene-O-oh, I thought you asked if I'd finished my science magazine. fHolds up copy of Ballyhooj. Charles-I-Ieavens! How can you be so calm at a time like this? Do you know, that you've created the eighth wonder of the world? Greene-Yes, I know, and already I've been threatened. Charles--What! Greene-Yes. My wife told me that she'd crown me if she found me fooling with that crazy contraption any longer, but shshsh!-she doesn't know that I have it perfected. Charles-Will she be surprised when she finds out! Greene-You said it! She said I was crazy, but that's what they said about Edison. Charles-How about a demonstration of its magical powers now? Greene-O. K., but first I'1l have my office boy bring it in and I'll explain the mechanism of it. Connors! Connors-Qhurriedly coming in and tripping over his feetj--Ye-Yes, sir? Greene-Bring in the invention, Connors. Comzors-Yes, sir, right away, sir. QTrips again on way out.j Charles-Connors must have fallen in love or somethingg he seems rather listless. Greene-Why, yes. Since it's now legal to have more than one Wife, he's fallen hard for the cute little Anderson twins and he's very, very unhappy 10 THE SKIPPER because he can,t tell them apart, and because he just doesn't know how to go about proposing to two girls. QConversation is interrupted as office-boy brings in a mechanical man, connected by wires to a microphone. Beneath the mechanism Marvin Rubin is concealed.j Charles-And do you mean to say that that idiotic thing can answer all questions asked it? Greene-That's right. All you have to do is to ask a question through this microphone and the robot will answer it. Charles-Well, I'll be!-what type of question shall we use? Greene-Well-let me see-I've got it! Today, if my memory doesn't fail me, is the tenth anniversary of our graduation from R. H. S. Suppose we ask the mechanical man what some of our former friends are now doing? Charles-Thatis a great idea, but we haven't the names of the class with us. Greene-Oh, yes, we have. I've got a copy of the Year Book in my desk with the names of all graduates in it frummages in desk and pulls out Year Bookj. Here it is-Well, are you all set for the biggest surprise of your life? Charles-You bet. Go ahead- Greene-Mr. Robot, what is John Zarconeis position in life? Robot-You'll remember how everyone used to picture John as a member of the Metropolitan Opera Co. because of his melodious, haunting voice. Today John is a member of the Metropolitan-that is, a salesman for the Metropolitan Insurance Co., and his voice is haunting all prospective buyers. Charles-Man! This is a knockout! And the robot's right. I just had a letter from John myself. Can it do as well on all the others? Greene-Didn,t I say I'd perfected the invention? And now to get on- What's become of Eleanor Fink? Robot-Eleanor Fink is doin ver well as secretar to Frederick Turner, . 3 .Y Y professor of Latin at Bonar University, named after none other than that eminent educator, Stanley Bonar. Greene--And here's Dick Pawlowski. I suppose he's president of some- thing or other. Robot-Richard Pawlowski, recently elected president of the Cute Cud- dely Do-nut Hole Co., is now residing in Niagara Falls. I-Ie extends the following invitation to all Riverside alumni: When in the Falls, drop in. Charles-Here, give me that list. I want to ask a few questions. fGreene hands him bookg he turns pagej. Oh, yes-Florence Schunke-we can't omit her. Robot--According to Dorothy Keil's History of Nothing In Particular Florence Schunke is Mayoress of New York, Frank Aselstine is president of the THE SKIPPER 11 council and the city is better than ever financially fixed with Stanley Wasik as city accountant. Charles-And here's Helen Jaros-Bet Mr. Robot couldn't keep up with her. Robot-Helen Jaros is now Dean of Mining at a noted Eastern College. She's giving daily lectures on the art of gold digging. Greene-Wasn't there a fellow named Rubin in the class? fi Robot'-Marvin Rubin and his pal McHenry are now noted physicians. They have established an upside down hospital for upside down stomach cases It's getting fashionable-in fact, almost a fad to have an upside down stomach nowadays-but I suppose it will fade out just as Miniature Golf did. Charles-flocking into Year Bookj Here's the officers' pictures and there are Jean Linklater and Doris Leith, the two smartest girls in the class. Wonder what's become of them? Robot-Jean Linklater and Doris Leith are the proud owners of a polish- ing-up school for debutantes. They polish them up to the tiniest detail- from their manners to the outside of their pocketbooks. Jean and Doris take all that's inside. Greene-Remember Ernie Bodnar-is he still counting money? Robo!-Ernest Bodnar is now a Supreme Court Justice. In his estima- tion, Law as a profession is becoming more noble day by day In fact he ' 1 says that lawyers now are willing to go out and spend your last cent to prove they're right. Charles-Now tell' us about Henry Luszcz? Robot-He and Richard Kaczmarek are well established in the butter and milk business, but the boys had an argument recently and Henry, the senior partner, punished Dick by making him deliver the milk on a long route for a week. Now he's having trouble getting Richard to come back. Methinks a number of young ladies along the route appeal to him. Greene-And how about that girl that wears an everlasting smile? Robot-You must mean Elizabeth Keefe. She is now operating a reducing l par or for women overcome with rotundity. Her motto is vaguely familiar: I'll have my pound of flesh. Charles-I suppose that Frances Parker chosen as the best lookin , - ' g girl of the class, is a sculptors, model or something. Robo!-Frances Parker is starring in Marcus Utzig's Follies, running its eighth consecutive week in New York. Fred Dopp is a comedian in the same h s owg he throws questions at Bob Ortner who- stands and bobbles his Adamis Apple up and down a few times. Greene-We can't forget Bernie McDonald, that sterling athlete. What's he doing now? Robot-Bernard McDonald, now with the Pittsburgh Pirates, has just 12 THE SKIPPER received an invitation from Lou Gehrig to play on his All-American baseball team which will tour the Orient this winter. He replied that he wouldn't go unless the Japanese first bought Steven O'Lear. O' Lear is the only pitcher he can hit. Charles-Hereis a name that's vaguely familiar, Robert Draddy, but I can't recall who he is. Robot-Robert Draddy is editor of the New York Times, now owned by Glen Oberacker. Fulton Chamberlin, that bashful, dimpled boy is writing an 'advice to the lovelorn' column in the same paper. Louis Kiss is plugging away at cartoons and has just created a sensational comic strip entitled, The Adventures of Robert Grimes in the Land of the Amazons . Charles-Let's hear about more of the girls. Robot-Jean Vorce took a post graduate course in public speaking from Miss Mundie, and then suddenly disappeared from sight. We discovered her last week in deep distress, addressing a Sunday school class on the subject of My Life as an Editor's Sweetheart . Peggy Young passed the collection plate around. Greene-What do you know of Bushardt? Robot-Ed Bushardt, the boy with the glib tongue, is selling refrigerators in Alaska. He says that they're going like hot cakes. At this point Professor Greene,s wife comes in and creates a great com- motion. She is finally quieted and persuaded to listen. Greene-Now, listen, my dear, to just one. What, Mr. Robot, do you know of Margaret Farkas? Robot-Margaret Farkas and Ruth Proseus have been Delaware Park policewomen since they passed their civil service examinations in 1937. Their first arrest was Richard Burg, Latin professorg he had the nerve to read Cicero aloud while strolling along their beat. Mrs. Greene--Oh, isn't it marvelous! Let me ask one. Where's Thelma Townsend? Robot-Thelma Townsend has established a school for journalism in New York City, and is teaching high school girls the art of being good girl-Fridays to Broadway Columnists. Mrs. Greene--Oh, Richard, how wonderful you are! What about Jack Evans? I always liked him. Robot-Jack Evans and Leo Hertel have grown beards and are now cheer- leading for the House of David baseball team. Mrs. Greene-And how about A1 Marquis? Robot-Al Marquis is now a business figurehead, and is giving Henry Ford many a sleepless night with his new 8-cylinder Schmidt-made carg the inventor is Riversideis Bob Schmidt, Al's beloved cousin. Charlie-I've just remembered-Leon Montz and Michael Kaluzienski. THE SKIPPER 13 Robot-Leon Montz, as was his custom in R. H. S., is now in the monkey business. That is, heis selling monkeys to the Spancic-Sullivan circus, Barnum and Bailey's only rival. Mialkowski, Lukawski, Kaluzienski, Malkinska, and Kozlowski have gone into a partnership in a school whose main purpose is to promote better pro- nunciation and enunciation of difficult names. Greene-And where's Donald Beitz, the fellow who had aspirations of becoming a lawyer? Robot-Donald Beitz is now a traveling salesman and he's married to Rose Mertes. Before they were married he demanded an agreement that he could go out every evening after their marriage. Yes, he goes out in the even- ing. He takes the triplets out in their Burling Larson adjustable perambulator. Mrs. Greene-Ask him about handsome Bill Bibby and Murray Fish. Robot-Bill Bibby has just been elected president of Mexico, because the senoritas liked the wistful look in his eyes. The crease in his pants might have had something to do with it, too. And yesterday's Buxqalo Evening News carried this headline: MURRAY FISH BREAKS NON-STOP FLIGHT RECORD FROM NORTH POLE TO TEXAS. Youthful explorer being trailed by two angry Eskimo parents in dog sledsf' Mrs. Greene-You boys have been hogging the robot. Let's ask him about more girls-for instance-Betty Gleber. Robot-Betty Gleber and Ruth Johnson have incorporated themselves and tomorrow afternoon will sell the formula for the permanency of their hair waves to the highest bidder in Herb Plant's second hand shop in lower Main Street. Claurles-Dick, youire going to make a fortune! He sees all, knows all and tells all. And now perhaps he can tell us about Marion Williams. Robot-Vienna dancing masters acclaim Marion as the most graceful dancer of all time, basing their claim on her new dance rage, the Whoopsie- Boom. The dance was discovered quite accidentally by Miss Williams. She slipped on a banana peel and danced swiftly down a flight of stairs. Greene-fTurning a switchj Well-how do you like it, Charlie? Charlie-I've never heard anything like it. Now, all you have to do is to get out a patent for the machine and have it put on street corners for the benefit of the public. Create the slot machine idea and youill collect plenty of money. I'm proud to know you, Dick. Letis all go down to Karl Franger's new restaurant for dinner. V Mrs. Greene-Delighted. Greene-Wait-I'll call the boy to lock up. Conners! Conners-Yes, Sir! Greene-Put the invention away. We're going out for dinner. Conners-Yes, Sir. Curtain. Marvin Rubin. THE SKIPPER CLASS SONG Tune: Far Above Cayuga's Waters. Riverside, Our Alma Mater, Honoring Thee we stand, In the memory of Thy teachings, Of our Native Land. Freedom which our Fathers died for, Love of liberty, Of our country and Old Glory, We have learned from Thee. Alma Mater, at our parting, We do pledge to Thee Loyalty to all Thy teachings, And thy memory. Hail, all hail, Our Alma Mater, May your life be long, May your praises be farsounding Echoes of our song. Louis Pfolal I TO YOUTH A TRIBUTE Along a narrow path, beside a shady brook, A gay child lightly danced with song and joyous look, Tho miles were long, and hard, no weariness he knew, Some stops he made, but short were they and few. Rich gems he gathered, where agleam they scattered lay Of these the brightest kept, the rest he threw away. So wide the trail now grown, the child became a youth. So big he was and strong, so confident, this youth! On, he strode, his face alight with joy and dreams So much was there to do, so bright the vision gleams. And now he thought of all that he had seen and done. Great battles he had fought, the victories he had won. The gems he still did clasp, for clear they were to him, Those treasures he had found along the trail so dim And strong in wisdom, which from practice one may learn Undaunted still was he, no power could make him turn His face from far-set goals, his heart from high aims true Oh, ever onward go! The world has need for you. Ruth Proseus THE SKIPPER 15 SALUTATORY Honored guests, teachers, and comrades, gathered here to celebrate our commencement night, the Class of 1935 extends to you a sincere welcome, We greet you who have gone before in the mysteries of knowledge, and who rejoice with us. Mr. Whitney, who has piloted our ship through four happy years, to you we offer our salutations. We greet you, our teachers, who have worked for us with such patience and diligence, and who have led us through the intricate mazes of Geometry and Latin. We extend to you our deepest thanks and appreciation. Fellow-students, who have together learned and labored, laughed and wept, and whose friendship each of us will always cherish, we salute you. May you ever strive to increase the prestige of Riverside. The four happy years of our association have passed. With mingled joy and grief we depart to take up our appointed tasks. Before us, life stretches far. The outlines of our future have been sketch- ed, but the central design of the picture waits for us to fill it in with careful attention to color and line. It is for us to finish the masterpiece that we have visioned for ourselves. There will be days of discouragement and moments of elation and inspiration, but whatever our lives may be, we shall always have love and reverence for Riverside. Alma Mater, we salute you! Doris Leith. 395 E E M 1 E I I 5 ! 3 2 3 E E EQ.i'..?Lf'j'4f ? ffN!i9RJ N ,m,.mu....-...1x- ------ff' - 18 THE SKIPPER VALEDICTORY Tonight, as we stand on the threshold of a new world of experiences, glancing back at the old, a little sadly, perhaps, because we have to leave it now, and looking ahead with eagerness to the new, the words of Robert Browning- The year's at the spring and day's at the morn --come to us with peculiar significance. We are indeed at the spring and morning of our lives. Our days of preparation are, for the most part, over. The best part of our lives lies before us. We stand, in the fresh vigor of our youth, at the entrance to this new life, ready and anxious to go forward to great fields of service and achievement. In reviewing our four years at Riverside, we find that we have been singularly happy. We learned together to accept both defeat and victory with good sportsmanship. We have struggled with our lessons and laughed over our play together. Together we have learned the lessons in life that will help us in overcoming difficulties and in living with others. Yes, we have been v-ery happy at Riverside. To the faculty, and especially to our principal, Mr. Whitney, we owe a debt of gratitude which cannot be paid by mere words. We wish to thank them now for the guidance they have offered us, and for the friendly interest they have shown in each of us. By our conduct in the future, by our achieve- ments, we can in some measure show our true appreciation of this guidance and interest. Our parents, who have taught us, cared for us, and believed in us, deserve our thanks. To them, as well, we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude. And now our high school days, che days of our preparation, are over. The year's at the spring and day's at the morn. We start our life work with fresh minds and eager hearts, remembering this verse we learned at Riverside:- One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake. With this philosophy, we, the Class of 1935, bid farewell to Riverside, and welcome the future. jean Linklater. lk.-Q THE SKIPPER 19 i Graduates -l--li? Ahern, Anna Freckles Beitz, Donald C.

There are fifteen members, with Mr. Spear as faculty adviser. In the 1935 Philatelic Exhibition at the Grosvenor Library, members of the club carried away several prizes. The frame entered by Ferdinand Roeder and John Evans was awarded second prize. THE RIFLE CLUB The Riverside Riflle Club was organized a few weeks after school began in September, 1934, with the purpose of teaching the boys, how to handle and shoot rifles properly. The club practices every Friday at the 174th Armory. The officers are: Melvin Kocher, president, Ernest Bodnar, vice-president, Harvey Wolko, treasurer, Joseph Hassey, secretary, Mr. Hull and Mr. Spear, faculty advisers. THE CHESS CLUB Last fall a club was organized for those interested in chess. The desire to learn and not the ability to play was the main purpose. The lack of adequate equipment has proved a serious disadvantage. However, a few very enthusiastic devotees of the game formed the team that represents the school in interscho- lastic matches. Bernard Ptaszkiewicz, Nicholas Radius, Jack Morton, Walter Kinal and Robert Coss have played in most of the matches, the last-named being the school's ace. THE COMMERCE CLUB The Commerce Club, organized in April, 1934, was established to create interest in commercial work by acquainting members with the business world, to further social relations between members, to strive for leadership within the school, and to promote a higher grade of scholarship in commercial classes. At the end of each year the club awards two medals. The person with the highest scholastic record in the commercial department is awarded a scholar- ship medal, the person rendering the best service is awarded a service medal.

THE RIVERSIDE HI-Y The Hi-Y Club of Riverside High School was started in 1930 through the efforts of our assistant principal, Mr. Spear. Mr. Miller is faculty adviser. There are many social activities of the Riverside Hi-Y of which the most popular is the annual variety show held in the school auditorium. For- merly this was given for the students only, but this year two performances were held. Admission was charged for the evening performance, the proceeds being turned over to the school athletic fund. The officers are: Roger Rawe, president, Marvin Rubin, vice-president, Howard McHenry, treasurer, Delbert Ray, secretary, and William Bibby, sergeant-at-arms. 32 THE SKIPPER GIRL RESERVES t The Girl Reserve Club has existed for five years. It is a club for all girls, regardless of age, class or course of study. It hopes to give the average girl an opportunity to develop her personality, to cooperate with others of her age, and to share responsibilities with them. The girls directing the club this year are, Kathryn Maslany, president, Joy Bache, secretary, Amelia Maslany, treasurer. Program committee: Helen Koontz, Barbara Hartman, Miss Dorothy Deman of the Y. W. C. A. and the Misses Rhoda Goehle and Margaret Wilkinson of Riverside faculty. JUNIOR DAY The Junior Day celebration of the Class of 1936 took place on May 24th. Festivities began with an assembly at which Bruce Gibson presided. The presi- dent, Robert Dahlman, gave the address of welcome, Francis Phelan, legal adviser to the class of 1936, read the class will, and the ever-popular baby pictures of prominent members of the class brought rounds of applause from an enthusisastic audience. A violin solo by Irene Bellanca and songs by Francis Phelan were among the most enjoyable features of the program. Mr. Zink of WBEN and a lively troupe of youthful players staged for us a rehearsal of the skit Playtime. We were greatly interested, too, in the brief remarks made by Miss Helen Marshall of Grimsby, England, comparing our schools to those in which she had taught on the other side of the Atlantic. The tree-planting ceremony on the lawn was brief but greatly enjoyed by the entire school. In the afternoon the dance in the beautifully decorated gym made a fitting climax to a delightful day. The class is greatly indebted to Miss Rippey and Miss Snell, Junior Class advisers, for their unfailing interest and assistance. SPORTS SUMMARY A school glories in the ufighrv and determination shown by its representa- tives on the athletic fields. To win is the chief ambition of any team, but to be able to retain the thought that you have fought hard and clean to the end is even more important. This has been true of our teams at Riverside. In the past year, some of our teams have been particularly successful. Especially is this true of the basketball team. Captained by the all-high selec- tion, Murray Duncan, it achieved greater heights than any of its predecessors. The baseball team, Bernard McDonald, captain, and the track team, with George Trimper as captain, are also riding to the same high level. Among the outstanding men on other teams, we mention the following: Richard Pawlowski, captain of the golf team, George Trimper, captain of the swimming as well as the track team, William Ferguson, hockey captain, Roger Rawe, captain of the cross-country team and his all-high teammate, Ralph Mackay, john Hermann, football captain with his running mates, Soddy Groat and Franny Ott, and Francis Phelan, tennis team captain. Competition has been keen in all sports, and with many skillful players remaining in school, next year should prove even more exciting. w 1 ,. . f ..
