THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 Mrs. Leary’s place was filled by Miss Letitia Casinghino, a graduate of Bay Path Institute. In December, the high school went back to its former six-period day system. Many delightful activities took place during the year. The senior class gave two socials, three sandwich sales, a play, a mid-year dance, and a reception. The junior class gave one sandwich sale, a card party, and a prom. Each affair proved to be a success. Class night exercises will be held June 15, and graduation exercises June 18. A Senior class banquet will be held at the Highland Hotel, Spring- field, June 16. The school will close for the summer vacation June 19, 1936. Doris Tambussi, ’36 ATHLETICS This year the high school has tried to present an athletic program consisting of three sports: track, basketball and baseball. Both Mr. Col¬ lins and Mr. Robert Jackson as directors of athletics have tried to get as many boys as possible to enjoy some sport. From September to November the boys trained for track. In No¬ vember, a cross-ccuuntry race was held. Turkeys were given as prizes to those who placed first and second. Victor Malec and James Price were the lucky trackmen. After the track season was over, the boys began practicing basket¬ ball. If there had been adequate equipment, the boys would have made a much better showing. The team would have been a hundred per cent, better if the school had had a gymnasium where regular practice might have been carried on. However, in spite of this lack of equipment the spirit of the team was very good. This spring the baseball team was considered weak since five of its veterans graduated last year, but after the season started, the team turned out to be a good one, not only hard to beat, but noted for its good sports¬ manship. The baseball schedule is as follows:— W. Locks Visitors Collinsville at Windsor Locks- Rockville at Windsor Locks- Simsbury at Simsbury- Manchester at Manchester- Enfield at Enfield- Manchester Trade at Windsor Locks 6 9 2 2 5 4
