Even in the very short time since our organization, the members hav-e been able to a-ssist at entertainments and we lhope to be ready to do something for any teacher and our school, whenever the occasion arises. Miss Ruth Apsel, who has made a close study of Elocution since she was a tiny tot, came to our second meeting and re- cited several selections. Fortunately, Mr. Vlfestphal and Miss Merrill came to see us that day, too, so we felt unusually honored. Miss Apsel's selections were enjoyed so much that she promised to come again some time. The fourth, fifth and sixth year boys and girls who have an excellent schol- arship record and are interested in Elo- cution are invited to come to our first February meeting. We hope you'll like us, and if you meet all the require- ments for membership, come around to every following meeting. The dues are five cents a week, and are used for club materials. The officers are: Selma Cohen, President. Bertram Rothman, Secretary. Boys' Glee Club About thirty boys belong to the Glee Club. Every boy with a good voice is invited to join. i No one is urged or coaxed to become a member-for the club wants to feel that its members are sufficiently appreciative of music to come of their own accord. The club meets every Thursday at three o'clock, in the auditorium. So far, Miss Auspitz has been able to teach a new song each meeting, as the boys respond quickly. Some day soon the Boys' Glee Club of P. S. 23, Bronx, hopes to show its friends what it has learned this term. Girls' Glee Club Every Thursday afternoon the girls of the fifth and sixth years meet for a happy, musical time. President. Norma Shapirog vice- president, Evelyn Tranrigg secretary, Tillie Cohen. School Athletics ' Our Afternoon Center opened dur- ing the second week of the term much to the delight of our boys. Boys must play and the center gives them this op- portunity without the dangers incur- red in playing on the street. Here also the play is organized and the individual boy is made to feel that there are other members of his team who share in the play. We lost no 'time in organizing a schedule which gave all boys an equal opportunity of enjoying the center A series of tournaments was started. At the close of a series of hotly con- tested games Howard Schmidt, Milton Altholtz, Louis Heuer, Arthur Vtfestong Harry Eberson, Benjamin, Brooks, un- der the able leadership of Leo-Stern- berg won for SBB2. After this a basketball tournament was started. In this there were a senior and a junior team from each class. SBB 2, Isadore Rothbaum, Ccaptj Henry Gotthofer, Joseph Spezak, David Zobel and Nathan Katz won the senior honor while SAB 2, jacob Novak, fcaptj. Frank Weinkofsky, Milton Sadolsky, Sidney Schectman and Mor- ris Kromfield won the junior. Under the able coaching of Max Miller our school team composed of Henry Gotthoffer, Isadore Rothbaum, joseph Spezak, Milton Altholtz, Henry Vtfebster and Ornstein defeated all the Bronx schools in our division. Now that winter is upon us we are driven indoors and tug-of-war and wrestling will draw our interests. Phone Bryant 9444 Suite 711 JAWITZ PICTURES CORPORATION 729 Seventh Avenue Chas. N.
