Traveling over to Erasmus, the Stuyvesant fliers garnered twenty-three points and the cup of victory. Shortly after an invitation from George W. Orton was received requesting Stuyvesant to enter the Class A Scholastic Relay championship held annually under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania at the regular relay carnival at Frank- lin Field. Hitherto Stuyvesant had entered the Class B champ- ionship. Last year's relay, however, which represented Stuyves- ant made faster time in covering the distance than the winner of the Class A championship. Work was begun on the first three-act play 'ever attempted by a Stuyvesant Dramatic Society. lt Pays to Advertise, successfully produced on Broadway, is being taught to the cast picked by Mr. Blum. ' At the regular G. O. elections William I . I-litzig was elected president by a large major- ity, Aaron Solomon received the position of ' vice-president, while Jack Somerville was elected Secretary. -27-

The early part of the month saw , their successful dance, held at the grand ball- i' room of the Hotel Pennsylvania. The school bade them farewell at the end of the month at the commence- ment exercises. A short while before they held their class night, at which they presented a one act play and produced by them- selves, and a minstrel show.
