THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 4 The ‘‘Bones”’ 1s an organization com- posed of High School students, which was formed during the present term. five It now numbers idea being to elect two members each members, the year from the Senior class of the follow- ing year, thus eventually making it a Senior organization. The first meeting was held May 5that 12 p. m. in the luxuriously (?) furnished apartments of the Club. At this meeting a simple program was carried out. It consisted in raising the emblem of the Club and the selecting of our insignia. It is proposed to hold a banquet at the end of each school year, at which the two new members chosen for the ensuing year will be initiated. We firmly hope and believe that the Club has a very bright future before it. T’he names of the members are as fol- lows: © O —?| ? [PP] ?4 @$W;—0?X —O V!:—= X X?+!

For the last few years the school has not taken the interest in foot ball that it should, and when only fourteen men turn out to try for positions, it is very hard to do any- thing. Considering the coaching and practice which the team had, the fel- lows ought to feel proud of the record Oh, that Pulaski Did you see it?

THE Base Ball. Captain -Harold F. Wardwell. Manager—Wm. E. Scripture jr. Never in the history of the school has there been so much interest aroused among the students over athletic work as has been shown in base ball this sea- son. On the day of the student mass meeting when it was decided to go into the Syracuse University Inter-Academic League, the fellows went wild over it. Soon alter, when they were called upon to try for the team, big and little, good and bad, all turned out and for once, at least, it may be said of the High School that there were more than enough can didates. On that cold, windy day over forty fellows Park ready for Wheeler took them in hand and soon With only two men of last year’s team with appeared at Riverside work. Coach George sifted them down to two teams. us this year we have turned out the best team the school has ever had, and if the fellows will stay together they will better What was accomplished was done by have a team next year. good, hard work and the fellows ought to be proud of it. The work of the team has aroused a great deal of en- thusiasm and for the first time in years the faculty has shown some interest for our success. Points Scored. R.H.S. Oppo Camden H.
