I HE VOICE 'MY Ts YEAR BOOK 31 JUNIOR WRITE-UP The Class of '24 started their second year at N. Y.S.S. A. determined to make it a year worth while. Many familiar fares were absent at the beginning of the year and several others changed to a special course, graduating with the class of '23, thus reducing our numbers over one half. The first meeting of the class was held on Octol cr 19. The following officers were elected: President. Donald Z. Tcrhune; Vice President, Kenneth I tuner: Secretary and Treasurer. Joint L. Shear: Class Reporter, Carl D. Gnige; Manager of Class Basketball ['vain, Clifton Aldcn. Our first accomplishment was the first annual Freshman Rush held on Hallowe’en night. This was managed and directed by lire Juniors with the aid of some of the Seniors. It resulted in a decided victory for the uppei classmen. We aic represented in every school activity, in a way that shows we still have a large amount of responsibility in school life. These activities include the Student Council, I he Voice, the two Fraternities, and all the others. In the Christmas Seal sale, the Juniors led all the other classes in the miinhci of seals bought. In the I jbiary drive, we far exceeded the subscription of any other class. The class basketball team was organized eaily in November and Ken Turner elected Captain. Later in the season Aldcn and Turner joined the varsity squad. Fddie I liomas was elected manager to succeed Aldcn and I urhunc elected Captain They have played several games alllio not as successful as they might have Inren had they put up some hard fights. They have been handicapped by the fact that nearly all of the team starting the season have joined tire varsity squad or the Senior team. Regular class meetings have been held every two weeks. An attempt was made to form a debating team in the class. A chcllangc was issued to all the other classes, but they all failed lo accept it. so we were unable to slow our ability in this line. Dur class has not pushed out into an active social program because we considered this field already covered by the other organizations of the school, which have taken first hand interest of most of our members. On March 16, we {ave a very successful Povery Social to the school. Following the en-terUinment and games, there was a parade of the | au| crs and suitable prizes were awarded for the most originally dresser! jierson. Dancing rounded out the evening program. We aic especially proud of two of our classmates. Edwin Iliomas and Waiter Chiislo| hcr. wl o were members of the stock imlging team represent-ing our school at the State College of Agriculture at Cornell T aimers' Weik. A stock judging contest was held there at that time with the six agiicultural schools of the state competing for Itonors. Our team won second .iiz.r. a huge silver cup. engraved with the college name and the occasion at which it was won. This is a permanent trophy to he kept at the school. While we have not accomplished as much as we planned, we feel that we lave done enough to make om time here well worth while. Our l cst wishes are success and prosperity to the school, anrl especially to the grad-ualiig class. The Class of '24.
