Q4 - THF HARRIS ANNUAL L L 1 Lia. '22 bfi- X A L L LLL L L, I-Cin ' ' Ll. L LLL LLL LLL LLL HL Ll.L - VIILYRDRCOHCKQ years ago the students of the academic classes of V C. X. Y. decided that the l,ax'ender and Black of their Qfgimx Wi older brothers were not the colors that they desired. and they set tu work to select ditlerent ones. Crimson and r Li'tio1f1 were chosen. That choice, made in 1905. was the beginning' of Townsend Harris Hall as one of the High Schools of the city. Before this time several unsuccessful attempts had been made to publish a paper in opposition to the College Mercury. Twice the attempt failed. 111 1905, however, the Academic Herald linally got a lirm footing, not in opposition to the Mercury, but as an organ of the Townsend Harris Hall students. Nineteen hundred and live. therefore, was the beginning of Harris activities. In 1906 the Public School Athletic League started a basketball tournament. Townsend Harris Hall entered a team, and for the first time Harris was represented in interscholastic athletics. This team, practically the same one that featured for C. C, N. Y. a few years later, captured lirst honors in the iirst and second tournaments C1906- 1907 and 1908-190917, and gained for Harris a high position in the athletic lield. Nineteen hundred and six rounded out and completed the work of the preceding year, and, from a shaky foundation in 1905, the Spring of 1907 saw Harris activities a reality, and Harris a member of the Public School Athletic League.
