BASKETBALL No good! John Misiaszek flips one toward the basket but Car- thage's number 7 blocks it. The Carthage team played nice ball but not quite nice enough. Bill Deming has just taken the ball from the backboard and is ready to pivot and pass to Bud Gifford or Milt Smith who seems to be free. How many hands on this ball? We count five and three of them belong to Whitesboro lads. Nice going boys! Lowville shouldn't have a chance against that kind of playing and they didn't. Congratulations, says Principal Frederick W. Crumb to Captain Vaccarro of Rome as Captains Stonehouse of Frankfort and Smith of Whitesboro smile as they grasp their own trophies after the tournament. Wfhitesboro played all its league games without a single defeat. For the fourth consecutive year, the Blue and Wlmite copped the league championship. This gave us one leg on a new trophy. The Whitesboro team was one of the highest scoring teams in this section. Five times we rang up a total of 50 points or over. Compared with last year, Wliitesboro increased its total score by 54 points, and its average by 12 points. The opponents' total score was decreased by 167 points and the average by 4 points. Probably the two best games during the regular season were those played with the non-league teams, Christian Brothers Academy and Utica Free Academy. Credit must be given to the Utica team for it was the only one to de- feat Whitesboro in 16 starts. The game was decided by a matter of one point which could have gone either way. The regular season was followed by a tournament held in the W. C. S. gym. XWhitesboro and Rome were the fa- vorites but W. C. S. was defeated by an excellent Frank- fort team on a night when they were hot and W. C. S. was only too, too cold. Rome went on to win the event with Frankfort taking second place and Whitesboro third. W. C. S.

A spaghetti feed for the junior Varsity and they deserve it after a hard campaign that resulted in taking the Upper Mohawk Valley Junior Varsity Championship. Raymond B. Ben- jilmifl. Junior Varsity Coach, did a swell job his first year. All together--Don't they look nice? lts a little harder, how ever. to do it the same way under the strain and stress of an im I-::1't.1nt game.

The Etiquette Club gets some pointers on how to meet people well in business. The pointers are coming from Miss Augar of the ofhce staff. More Science Clubbers at work. These girls should have no trouble in becoming soda foun- taineers when they are ready to go to work. fNote: That is not a chocolate soda they are concoct- ing now-Its vanilla.j C.1n this be art? Mr. Carr's Art Club does a little finger painting. It looks more like mud pies from here. Anyway, it's a lot of fun and is a fine outlet for creative ability. That's an original draw- ing of a Pontiac that john Lubey holds. He has a million of them, one for every new car on the market. Eunice Baird. Bertha Kenner- knecht and Theresa Maloney construct a Roman camp while Lucretia Scalise and Mary Monte- cgtlvo dress Roman dolls. Big girls for that sort of thing. but a big help to Miss Henry's Latin classes. The girls really like Latin and are members of the Latin Club. Mrs. Billingham has her hands full with this lively group of junior Library Club members, By the time they enter Senior High School they will be full-fledged student librarians. The Future Farmers of Amer- ica hold a banquet-and a big success it was too. The junior Readers write book reviews-just for fun. too. Junior High students who enjoy reading are members of this organization. And I'll take this one, says grinning Bob Burkhart. The Sen- ior Game and Puzzle Club de- votes a period to playing cards. The junior History Club hard at work on one of their many proj- ects. This organization was lucky indeed to secure so able a sponsor as Miss Maxwell. Nice work, Dick, the members of the Model Airplane Club gather around Richard Moore and admire his latest creation. These boys are supervised by Mr. Howe and have built some very nice models. Socks to school but stockings to church---red nail polish for par- ties and natural for school and businessfjust a few things dis- cussed by the junior Etiquette Club. Miss Reinman's junior Dramatic Club read a play in preparation for a coming production. It's too early to say which of these youngsters will be the Tom Mort or Bea Comstock of 1942.
