S. team. The boys started the season without the services of three of last season’s players; namely, Lockwood, Rowley, and Krakauskas but the substitntes of previous years rose nobly to the occasion and Woodbury teams were a factor to be reckoned with until the last game was over. Reichenbach and Scoville far surpassed their work of the previous year while Robert Fray found where the basket was and Benny played his usual dependable game. Salokas, Lusas, and Croft Fray were the shock troops that broke up many an attack which might have resulted in defeat. Salokas will graduate this year but the other two should be on hand next season to continue their good record. The girls showed a surprising amount of spirit in declining the cellar position and in decisively defeating Newtown and Kent. The other teams in the girls division were especially good this year and fourth place could not have been attained without some ability and ambition. Helen Travers in the center court was the deciding factor which accounted for this year's improvement. She and Ruth Burton in the rear court stopped the weak places in Woodbury’s defence and gave the Woodbury forwards the chance they had been waiting for. Mae Swanson was the chief scorer for the Woodbury girls by a wide margin. The boys’ second team rode rough shod over all opposition except New Milford, which team went through the league schedule undefeated. THE ENGLISH CLUBS This year the Juniors as well as the Seniors have had an English club. Every Friday, English period has been set aside in favor of club programs. All in all, they have been successful both for informational value and entertainment. The Senior English Club The Seniors called their club the Missing Link” club and this club had these officers during the first half year: President, George Morris; Vice-President, Oscar Lovdal; Secretary, Mae Swanson. During the last half year, the officers were: President, Brewster Reichenbach; Vice-President, Phyllis Sharrow; Secretary, Gertrude Smith. Some of the speakers were: Mrs. Hoadley H. Willes, Policewoman.” Rev. E. S. Hickcox, Miscellaneous Talk. Miss Christensen, Departments of Nursing.” Rev. M. E. N. Lindsay, Knighthood.” Prof. Hanley, The Organs of Speech.” Mr. E. S. Boyd, State Institutions.” The Junior English Clubs The Disciples of Belles-Lettres,” as they were named in the first half year, did their own entertaining and in the last half had mostly local speakers. The officers for the first half year were: President, William Boiney; Vice-President, Elizabeth Martin; Secretary, Maude Eyre. For the last half year: President, Katie Kowaleski; Vice-President, Raynall Coley; Secretary, Margaret Smith. Some of the speakers were: Mr. Savage on, Telephones.” Mr. Burton on, Insurance.” Mr. E. S. Boyd on, Banking and Banks.” Rev. E. S. Hickcox on his Schooldays. Mr. Asahel Mitchell on, The Machinery of the Elective Office.” Rev. Mr. Lindsay on the Literature of the Bible.” On January 22, the monotony of study was broken by an illustrated lecture on Australia given for the school students in the town hall by Captain Stanley Osborne. Our school year began September 21st with enrollment of 112 students. The increase in the number of students necessitated the purchase of additional seats and desks. It also gave the school authorities the idea that we might, sometime, need a new schoolhouse. Page Twenty-Seven
