Al Harrislv We want Al! smote the skies frather the ceilingj. The ensuing struggle lasted for, perhaps, two hours. At length the opposing faction, boosting Till', Lynch as their candidate, persuaded them that judging by the way Al drove his Ford, the class would be too swift with him at the wheel. With a whoop of joy they triumphed. Tilly,' was elect- ed! There was another fight when the election for vice-president came out a tie. This battle nearly raised the roof. Compromising, the two nominees were both given oflices. Raymond Govern was made vice-presi- dent and Gertrude Decker, secretary and treasurer. The Freshmen have continued as well as they began. Their class olli- cers have piloted them well throughout the year. We, the Seniors, feel that in years to come Stamford Seminary will be as good a place as when we were in it. Indeed, we are deeply indebted to them, realizing fully that without them our life would be devoid of mirth, for without them we could write no jokes.

Vice-President-Raymond Govern. Secretary and Treasurer-Gertrude Decker. Last September when we returned to school we noticed a queer green- ish tinge on the desks, way, way up in the front part of chapel. Our curi- osity piqued, we investigated further and found that this phenomenon was caused by the reflection cast by those aspiring bits of verdure-the Fresh- men. The class organized, upon discovering that it was the proper thing to do. They were much thrilled over the prospect of a class meeting, but not knowing how to run one, fortunately, or otherwise as it may be, an upper classman took pity on them and went to help them out. Such chaos as there wasl When nominations for president were called for, cries of

,llrht 9 by K QE? BASEBALL, 1923 Since no final results of last yearis team have ever been printed, for the sake of leaving a record for future use it is altogether fitting at this time to give a brief summary of the season of 1923. Last year, for the second time, we joined the Eastern Delaware Baseball League, consisting of the schools of Roxbury, Hobart, Delhi, and Margaretville. To play on the team a player must have a passing school average. Each team was to play two games with every other team and the school which was the winner of the most games was to have its name engraved on the cup for that year. To obtain permanent possession of the cup a team must win the cup three times, lnot necessarily consecutivel. Of ten games played during the sea- son, we won eight and lost two. Out of these ten games eight were league games and of these eight we won seven and lost one to give us possession of the cup for the school year 1923-1924. The scores were as follows: Stamford Opponent i'April 27-Stamford at Roxbury - 12 8 May 5-Hobart at Stamford 11 5 lVlay 18-Delhi at Stamford 5 4 May 25-Stamford at Hobart - 9 17 May 26-Stamford at 1V1argaretville 6 3
