 Baseball Good News! Last year S. H. S. baseball team came through with flying colors. They won the first pennant and cup ever won in baseball by the school. They won every game played, defeating Stillwater twice, Salem once, and Greenwich, our old time rivals, twice. Another baseball season is near and prospects for another pennant arc many. Only two members of the 1932 championship team will not be with us, Joe De Grechie, stellar third baseman, and Nacy Petralia, outfielder. All the rest will be back, fighting for another cup and pennant. Among last year’s veterans are Frank Sciurba, Joe Sciurba, Frank Fogerite, Ralph Peloch, Harry Brophy, and Clift Hunt. There is also much promising new material, including Don Gravelle. Ray Dumas, Ken Fitzgerald. Russell MacDougall, Maurice Patrick, Tom Clancy and Jack Cummings. Regardless of the fact that very little attention was shown by students and fans, the team won one of its greatest triumphs last year. Hopes are high for co- operation this year. May the Schuylerville High School baseball team repeat their success of the past year. Frank Fogerite Nineteen

'(Eljc tssay Contest Kate Bromley and Jean Newton bent over a history book lying on the table. “Jean, are you going to enter the essay contest?” “Yes, I think I shall. With our essay work in English, it ought to be a cinch for us. Let’s see, was the Dingley Tariff low ? Are you going to enter, Kate?” “Um-hm, I guess so. Oh, tariffs don’t interest me,” Kate answered impatiently. Each year the Barkerville D. A. R. sponsored an essay contest with a prize of twenty-five dollars. It sounded easy enough to Jean. She’d get her outline made and send it to Liz who was in College. She’d write it for her as Liz was good that way and could write better than Jean. But when she told her plan to her mother, Mrs. Newton said that Jean must write her own essay. Jean half-heartedly composed her notes and told Kate, next morning of the broken plan. But Kate was ecstatic. “Why, Jean,” she purred, “this is splendid. There’s no need for the rest of us to compete.” But this implied compliment did not cheer Jean. She abandoned her notes and when she again worked on them, she saw that Kate was working on some notes exactly like hers. Jean was hurt. She hardly spoke to Kate after that and burned her notes. Oh, Mother,” she sobbed, “how could Kate do it? She’s got everything and 1 need that money. When the winner was to he announced in assembly, Jean was trembling as she walked into the auditorium beside Kate. “Darling,” Kate was purring, “You’re going to get the surprise of your life.” But Jean didn’t answer. She couldn’t rejoice over Kate’s victory when it should have been hers. Mr. Davis rose and began a lengthy explanation of the contest; it’s purpose and benefits. “Oh. why can’t he say Kate Bromley won the prize and get it over?” thought Jean. Then she heard, “1 am happy to present the twenty-five dollars in gold to Jean Newton. Will Miss Newton please come forward ?” Kate pressed Jean’s hand, “Go ahead, dearie,” she whispered. Rising, Jean spoke calmly, But, Mr. Davis, there must be a mistake. I didn’t enter an essay.” But Kate rose beside her pal and explained to the entire school that she wrote Jean’s essay for her, knowing that Jean would not win the prize, regardless of her ideas. As the girls were called to the front and pronounced the joint winners of the contest, a roar of applause greeted them from the audience. Bessie Galusha efforts of Beauty on 1£tfc Many and lasting are the effects of beauty on life. Beauty can be observed in all highway's and by ways of life whether along the smooth and grassy paths or in the stony ways. The poet sees the beauty in the white capped mountains or in the beauti- fully constructed lines of poetry. '1 hey become an inspiration for loftier ideals and fanciful dreamings. I he sculptor sees the beauty in a well carved statue. To him, the museum is a heaven on earth in which he realizes his dreams come true in the statues of former artists. I' rom these, he gathers courage to continue. The painter revels in the beauty of the sunset and is content to spend hours on one sketch only' to have the beautiful scene preserved and interpreted by his own hand. I lie doctor secs the beauty in the bloom of healthy checks and disappearance of physical handicaps which he has had power to remedy. The teacher after patient drilling is thrilled to see advanced improvements in class work. The mother in the home sees the beauty in her children’s faces as they impart a secret or some passing joy' into her sympathetic and loving heart. The love in her eyes is reflected on their faces as they gather about her for their good night kiss. Love is beauty. Beauty cannot be denied love. Give the best which is in you, and the best will come back a thousand fold in the reflection of a beautiful face; not in features, but in grace and poise. D „ ,,, b 1 Bessie Booth, 33

Clllie 33ii tnrinus J cljunlerettes May the girls’ team of 32 and 33 never be forgotten in the Who’s Who of bas- ketball history. Victorious they have been from beginning to end. Due to their sportsmanship, to the unfailing cooperation shown by each player, and to Coach Cussler’s remarkable ability to put across a number one team, they soon found that their material was of the winning type. With the uncanny ability of the forwards to sink them in from all angles, and the expert work of the guards in holding down the opponents and passing the ball, how differently could the season have ended, than with the great record of 11 vic- tories and 2 defeats? Peg Whittig, the best center a team ever had, was outstanding in all around, unselfish team play and the knack of knowing just where to pass that ball. Nonic Bennett’s getting through this year will be a serious detriment to the team. Nonie played an excellent center guard and her opponent never had a chance. Tub Beaulac, right forward, outclassed sister “Hon” in shooting ability and that’s going some. Should it interest you, Tub’s high scorer for the season. Peg Dcguire was flashy, graceful and had a basketball ability that will not soon be equaled. When defeat seemed probable, it was Captain Potter who was there with the encouragement that gave us a stiff upper lip. She played a grand left forward and guards just tagged behind. Cool, calm, and collected is Helen Hewitt’s motto and she held her man down—tight. Pauline Pctralia, better known as “Pete”, is a sure girl for ’33 varsity and what is more, can sink ’em in. Marian Eddy, a sub. guard, pulled the team through a good many tough spots this year. We feel that we have indeed the right to be proud of a team that finished the season by more than doubling their opponents’ score to make a grand total for SHS of 486 against 213 for the opponents.
