s Ifrwhmrn Gilman liiainrg FRESHMEN CLASS ACTIVITIES For the Freshmen, their Hrst milestone has passed. They have taken their place in schocl activities with marked success. The first social event of the year for them was the Hallowe'en Party. They put over their stunt with success, which must be com' mended. In athletics the girls played an important part. Their basketball team carried off all the honors in the interfclass games winning the championship. At the end of thc season sixteen letters were awarded for athletics. It may be noted that the Freshmen girls and boys are represented in all school sports. Besides taking an active part in athletics, they did their share of community relief during the Christmas season. A word of encouragement for the Fresh' man class-may they have the same success for the remaining three years. Page Twenty

I .,, . Svnphnmnrr Qllaaa Fflisturg In the fall of '28 the present sophomore class made its entrance into the halls of its alma mater, Rye Neck. As for their Hrst year, like all freshman nothing eventful hapf pcned. But this year they have shown that from now on they wish to take an active part in school activities. 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.

I lu f , 7 flifU1'iEIl5 High school days! How fast they flew. When we entered as freshmen four years seemed so long. Now when we look back at the end of our Senior year, we realize how short these four years were. Four years crammed full of work and fun,-the work which prepares us for the later tasks of lifeg the fun which is enjoyed during high school as only students can enjoy it. One hardly realizes he is no longer a Freshman when he suddenly finds himself a Senior! The Senior year, the last year of school, is crammed more full of work and joy than ever. This year this truth has been very evif dent. For besides doing the usual things, four editions of Scraps were issued in addif tion to our year book. That makes one more edition than was ever published before. Also the class created a precedent by taking a trip to their National Capitol, Washington. They raised the money for the trip by running several social affairs. Why do the Seniors fill their last year with so much work and pleasure? Naturally to make it last longer. One hates to think of his school days being over,-those days which overflowed with happiness. As we glance back over the past year, we find that not a little has been done in the way of athletics. Rye Neck can truly be proud of its athletic season. After all, sports play an important part in developing both the character and the mental capacity of a high school student. Athletics should be a part of the education of every normal person. The body must be developed along with the mind. Nothing is more stimulating to a person than to see a boy or girl, who takes an active interest in sports, but who still is taken up with the educational side of life. It is the aim of every high school to en' courage athletic competition whether it be among the boys and girls themselves or with an outsider. In the three major sports, namely football, basketball and baseball, that Rye Neck en' gages in, there has been success marked by the true sportsmanship and clean playing of the members of the teams. The football season must be marked as one of the most successful in the history of the school. Even the basketball and baseball teams did their share in bringing Rye Neck into the limelight. And in the course of our discussion, girls' athletics must not be forgotten. Although these athletics have not been developed to the high degree that they should be, still there has been interclass competition which has proved most profitable. To the teams and athletes that may come after us, Scraps Staff wishes unbounded sucf cess in anything that they may undertake. Anna Kuhn Martha Estep Page Twenty-one
