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.
