GLEE CLUB NDER the guiding hand of Mr. Libby, rehearsals of the Cleo Club got under way early in Uetober. With praetiee periods on Tuesdays to four o'eloek. and on Thursdays until three-fifteen, the singers were soon whipped into shape. The 'l'enors and Basses were well balanced, the total number ol' voiees amount- ing to about thirty-tive. From the beginning, it looked as if the Glec Club would have a highly sueeessfnl and enjoyable year, lt did. 1 The Glee Club made its first publie appearanee just before the 'l'hanks- giving Holidays when it sang Forever Free in Chapel. Pulling that off in good style, the singers knuekled down to master a repertoire of Christmas songs which they presented on Deeember l7 in the large Chapel. Although the ranks of the Clee Club were sadly depleted by the grippe and flu, its presentation was a tremendous sueeess. Following the Christmas Vacation, Mr. Libby started preparations for the next concert and gave the boys a few popular songs for a ehange. On lwlklffll l7 the Glee Club sang with the girl Cleo Club of Lenox Sehool in their auditoriunl. The boy's part in the singing eonsisted of three mixed elioruses, two done singly and a tenor solo by ,lack Cueker. lnterludes were filled in by piano solos, played by Harry Powers, the Clee Club's new aeeonrpanist. 'llhe eoneert was admirably executed and a most enjoyable time was had by all at the danee following the singing. The next eoneert --- the last, of the year nf was given at the Hunter College All1lll0l'llIlll on April 21 in eollaboration with several other sehools. Likewise, this appearanee was lnost sueeessful. Aside from appearances in Chapel and at the Father and Son's Dinner, nothing else was seheduled for the Clee Club this year, and the season finished a very great sneeess. lfollom row: S1-udtler, Wilson, Slavrolalxus, lnwright, Marsden, Gut-ker.

VARSITY FOOTBALL ARD playing and hard luck were the keynotes of Trinity's 194-3 foothall season, The Blue and Gold's reeord of no wins and four defeats, if meas- ured only hy the yardstiek of games won and lost, would appear dismally dis- appointing. But if games were won on spirit alone, Trinity's reeord would eertainly have contained several wins. Opening the season, after ten short days of praetiee, Trinity's gridmen were soundly defeated hy a strong Pingry team, l9-0. Although exhihiting a weak offense, defensively Trinity looked exeellentg Pingry was ahle to seore only onee on the ground. Two Saturdays later, in a hitterly eontested fray, Trinity lost a heart hreaker to Fieldston, 7-6. After a scoreless first half, Trinity forged ahead 6-0, as Captain detlnis scored on a pass. Then, with the Blue and Gold on the mareh again, a Fieldston guard intercepted a pass and ran for a touehdown. Fieldston eonverted and that was the game. Haekley was the site of the next game, and a spirited group of Haekley players overcame an injury-riddled Trinity team, I3-6. George Zahriskie seored our only touchdown on an intercepted pass. The traditional Eleetion Day game resulted in a l3-6 win for Riverdale. Though statistically far superior, Trinity had all the hrealxs against them, After lwVill'Stl0Il had plunged aeross for a touehdown in the first half, two scoring plays in the seeond half were nullified hy penalties. George Holland and Sherry Heath shared ground-gaining laurels. Gardner's seventy yard touehdown run in the fourth quarter turned out to he Riverdale's margin of vietory. 38
