In the Hrst social function of the scholastic year they carried off the honor by winning first place for the best stunt. The end of th: football season feund two of their mem' hers entered for football letters. In basketball four qualihed for their RN's and again in baseball letters were awarded to four team pl iyers. Nor did the girls fail to qualify for lettersg and many who received them for hockey, will not be forgotten for their masterful per' formance on the field. Three sophomores ref ceived insignias for basketball. Sophomores take particular pleasure in ref minding people of their talented cartoonist, Arthur Belluscio. He was first brought to light by winning first prize in the contest conf ducted by Scraps . Seeing this advancement in so short a time, what shall we be able to anticipate in the future.
