ART CLUB ACTIVITIES MANY DURING TWO MONTH PERIOD Plan Spring Art Exhibit The budding young artists of our high school Art Club have enjoyed a few well- planned social events since the last issue of the “Tiger.” During the month of February, this Club used the original scheme of having a country store party. Members of the class feasted on paddle pops and doughnuts around the well-known cracker box in Gram pa’s store. Colorful sketchings of canned fruit, canned beans, horse collars and lamp chimneys provided suitable atmosphere for the occasion, wh’le pictures of bewhiskered farmers watched over the scene. On May 11 the club held a wiener roast on Mr. Brink’s farm, which is located on Glendale Drive. Under the supervision and direction of their president, Grace Zanni, and faculty adviser, Miss Catherine Gridley, the wiener roast and h ke was a success. At the present time plans for picnics and parties are being shelved in a flurry of preparation for the Spring Art exhibit. This exhibit, which will present frescoes, water c-o! rs, fashion drawings, pencil draw- ings. clay modeling will be held in the Home Economics suite sometime during the last part of June. Let it be known that this annual exhibit will be open to the public sometime during the first part of June from 4:00 to 6:00 p. m.

Main St. Endicott HI-CLUB WINDS UP SEASON SUCCESSFULLY “Every good thing must come to an end” and as this school year draws slowly to a close, so must activities of the Hi-Club. The realization that many familiar faces will be absent from the ranks of the organization is a sad one, and so in this last issue of the Tiger the Hi-Club would like to pay tribute to graduating seniors of the high school and especially to senior members of the Club. Every one of them, no matter how insignifi- cant his contribution, has been a driving force in the machinery of our club. We thank them for their fine support and wish them lots of good fortune in the years to come. The Hi-Club program has been a full one; therefore a brief summary of the more im- portant events might prove interesting. Here it is: The year started with membership unsur- passed in the entire history of the club, over 300 boys becoming members. The membership in many of the activities doubled and in some instances even tripled the bowling and rifle clubs having the greatest number. The big Atlanta dance honoring the Atlanta football team was staged very successfully. The Open Forum, airplane and radio clubs were added to the club’s already long list of activities. The “All U-E Night” dance in November honored the pigskin toters of the annual Tur- key Day classic. What could be more memor- able—a queen was crowned! Speed Skating under Charles Marlak w’as an attraction added to the other activities. Bowling and skating were taken over by the high school athletic association. A real honor for the Hi-Club. 'The high spot of the year came with the annual Block U-E Banquet at which all U-E athletes were feted and honored. Coach “Sleepy” Jim Crowley of Fordham was the speaker of the evening. One of the surprises of the evening w as the awarding of certificates by Herbert H. Crumb, Superintendent of Schools, to the U-E football team of 1922. Certificates were not given in those days, but the boys eventually received them seventeen years later. This about concluded the program for the year, but one important event still remains. For those numerous people who live to eat rather than vice versa, this event should prove interesting. On June 1st the last Hi-Club meeting of the year will be held for wThich an unusually interesting program of entertain- ment is being planned. In closing it is fitting that we should thank our club-advisors, Stephen Salmon and his assistants, Harold L. Baine and J. Donald McQueen, as well as the directors of the activities of the Hi-Club, for their leadership in directing the club and its activities.

NICHOLS (Continued from F’ajre ) published at that time in a local newspaper concerning the choice of a new president stated: The honor probably will go to George H. Nichols if he will accept it. Mr. Nichols, who was winner :n a lively election last year, has served ably as a trustee and is generally considered as well qualified to head the board.” So it was that Mr. Nichols received the position which he has held for fourteen years. Exactly 4552 students were receiving training in 11)25. During his many years of service there have been a number of new buildings as well as annev.es erected, the school registration has increased five-fold, the staff of teachers has been greatlv enlarged and the school system in general has flourished. Mr. Nichols sincerely believes in democratic ideals. When reminded of the students de mauds for a shorter school day last year, he expressed the following opinion on the prin- ciple involved: “I no reason why the students, if their requests are reasonable, should not be given full consideration. Of course, I am opposed to students’ striking. That is going too far There is no justification for striking when all fair requests will be granted.” Mr. Nichols was born June 8, 1876 in the town of Adams, Jefferson County. We take this opportunity to congratulate our eminent school head on his sixty-third birthday ami express the hope that he may continue to fill his years with distinguished public service. it is common knowledge that board mem- bers are not salaried individuals. When asked what would induce a person to devote twenty- seven years of his life to educational work on the board, Mr. Nichols replied, “—chiefly his willingness to be of service to the community. If a man has the time and is willing to devote it to the school and community affairs, he will find much satisfaction in the work. Of course, you make some enemies and a few friends hut that is the case in almost any occupation.” President Nichols rightly deserves all the honor wir’ch we tender him. However, he shuns the limelight. If there are two adjec- tive' capable of describing George H. Nichols, una uming and unpretentious would be most fitting. Toulson Hardware 110 w. Main Street
