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.

TEN YEARS LATER Dear Bob: Yesterday it was a dull day and the ball game had been called off, so rather than sit in the city ofiice and hear the editor's rasping voice and the steady staccato of the type- writers I headed for the fair grounds. ' The Washington Fair is supposed to be the best since the New York one in our Senior ear. Remember, Bob? This fair commemorates something or other-don't ex- Y actly know what. Upon arriving at the fair grounds, I showed the attendant, who was none other than our old classmate, Henry Kipers, my complimentary pass. I stopped and chatted with him for a while and he told me what some .of our friends are doing. He said that Raymond St. John, who never had had very much to say in our school days, is now a priest. Robert Waddell is the champion Typist of American and also a great politician on the side, and Jean Farley, Betty Clark, Leatha Alexander, Elizabeth Smith and Arlene Woodbury are taking part in the side show at the fair, here in Washington. Jean, he said, who you remember as being very tiny, has now grown to the amazing height of six feet, five inches and is being staged as the tallest woman in the world. Betty Clark and Leatha Alexander, two more of the little girls of .our senior class, are the strong women of the show, and Elizabeth and Arlene are featured as human skeletons . I then left Henry and being a sports Writer, I naturally headed for the Sports Arena. There I learned that Len Gifford had just hnished fifth in a field of five in the 100 yd. dash. His time was seventeen flat. Next came the women's 100 yd. dash. The two Rahn girls, Una and Virginia, came in first and second. How those girls rafhjnl Discus throwing for the women was the following event .Rosema.ry Martell and Aleatha Mab- bett had entered in this. Rosemary hnished first in this. Aleatha, who was eighth, said Rosemary won be:ause she is married now and has lots of practice at home with rolling pins! One of the features at the Sports Arena is the American Bowling Contest. Tom Cahill and Mel Brown had just rolled an all-time double record of 1429 to soar into first place on the last day of the tournament. I was told the auto races are to be held today and Slipery Steve Ciecko is the favorite. Heading for the theatre, I banged in an im- portant looking gentleman. It was Hank Wise. Hank had just been appointed by the President as chairman of the Wise and Means Committee. At the show, the Master of Ceremonies was noisy John Bisgrove. He int.roduced the Ballet Russe of girls whom he claimed were only two more than the Dionnes, but twice as cute. XVhen the seven strutted out on the stage, was I surprised to see Dorothy Casler, Clara I-lorigan, Doroihy Armstrong, Sarah Copperwheat, Betty Wind, Helen Gifford and Phyllis White. The next number on the program was big Hobart Rohman in his sweet tenor voice, singing, Roamin' in the Glomin' Then the Pare sisters stepped out and sang in their beautiful soprano voices an aria from Pagliacci. When they finished, three fellows in the back yelled Hip Hip, Parc . These were Bob Hauser, Charlie Plop- per and Jack Leach. These three fellows made a million a year, Hauser directing and Leach and Plopper playing the parts of Laurel and Hardy of the stage. A couple of years ago the three entertained movie fans as the Kitz Brothers. Next Fred Cary played 'lCarry Me Back to Old Virginny . The show ended to the tender tunes of Stanley Homka play- ing Boo Hoo on his wailing clarinet. Pushing my way to see Homka, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Margaret Sterling, the only woman on the Washington Police Force commanding me to stop. I pushed on, however, and found talking to Homka, Julian Baranowski, the slugger of the Washington Ball Club. After congratulating him for being the most valuable man on the Padulak Team last year, I hurried over to the Agriculture show. There I saw Frances Thomas lecturing to students on the Whys and Where- fores of Drinking Milk . Harry Anson had just won first prize, a blue ribbon, with his 50 cows. As I turned to leave, I spied Doris Evans and Marion Hughes, two farmwives from Vllest XVinfield, copping .ribbons for their chickens and ducks exhibit. They told me that Shirley Schug was now a pianist of some repute. As I left the Agriculture Building, I struck a match to light my cigar and I noticed by the plate in the building that Ann Merklinger had designed it. Walking away from the building, l met Ace Misiaszek. Ace is president of the fair. He told me that he made Jennie W'olak his secretary because he wanted her near. I was just thinking what a swell day I had had when I spotted Betty Andrew. She saw me at the same time and came running over. I was cornered! She is a news commentator now and she spoke to me about nothing at the rate of 400 words a minute fonly 10 more than she did in schoolj. She did tell me though that Betty Hoag and her mother had just won the Mother and Daughter Tennis Championship the day before, this was not sur- prising, however, for Betty and her mother had .always been a good team in our high school days. She told me too that Peggy Jewell and Elizabeth Watson were now living in New York City. Elizabeth had gone there to live because she wanted a change from her farm life and Peggy is now an entertainer in a night club. Just then I recalled that a banquet was being given at which Bob Williams was to be guest of honor. I excused myself and arrived at the banquet just in time for the desert and to see Bob presented with a trophy for being the most valuable man in pro football. Well that's all until I see you again, Bob. That will probably be next week some- time. Adios! Your old W. C. S. pal, ' JOHNNY COX, JC:IC
