Class News Senior News I don’t suppose you students are much in doubt as to where the Seniors have been spending their afternoons and evenings lately. That should be an easy one with all the good looking pictures being passed back and forth. You’ve guessed It right the first time! They have been down to Reinbold’s having their pictures taken. As yet, Mr. Reinbold hasn’t sent the Senior class a bill for a “broken camera.’’ The Seniors are pretty confident they won’t receive one. (Did I hear someone say Boo?) Some of the pictures already taken have been passed around so many times they are almost worn out, but these Seniors must have a little help in deciding which one flatters them most. Maybe the Seniors should elect a student council to do their debating for them, it would save a lot of time and several headaches. About? 55 was cleared on the class play. We the Senior class, wish to thank the following for the help they gave us in presenting our play: Rohrer Furniture Company, for use of their furniture. Thornburg Drug Company, for reserving seats and selling tickets. Billie Emerson and Virginia McFarren, for furnishing special music. Mrs. J. E. Fobes, for supplying Katharine Dillen with knitting materials and lessons. Mr. Reinbold for helping Robert Hinderer with his camera scene. Mr. Bachman, for supplying Ronald Sharp with an apron. Mr. Barnhart, for selling tickets at the door. The United Telephone Company for loaning us a telephone. Last, but not least, Miss Hamman, who so ably directed our play. Also, anyone else who helped in any way to make our play a success. Opportunity Room This being American Education Week (November 7 to 13) the Opportunity room will present a play entitled “American School” on Friday. We have started an Art Gallery of Americans we know and read about. There was perfect attendance last week. The lumber which Mr. Slabaugh presented to us was very much appreciated by the members of the class.

YELLOW JACKETS DEFEATED BY CROMWELL IN FIRST GAME OF SEASON 26-29 Miller Injured So That He Could Not Play Remainder of Game When the game was over last Friday night, Syracuse had two men out on injuries and two men out on fouls. Miller was injured when he mysteriously collided with Kern’s knee. He cut a severe gash in his forehead and a doctor had to be summoned to patch it up. As if this wasn’t enough, H. Coy got bit in the stomach and had to leave the floor. Thon Robert Hinderer went out on fouls. With only one sunstitute left on the bench, things looked pretty dark for Syracuse, but Coy went back into the game before anything further happened. Miller came out to watch the rest of the game, but did not attempt to play. When Kern went out on fouls, and the last substitute, Byrkety was put iri everybody wondered- —but no more such casualties happened. Miller’s long shot started ’he scoring and from then on until the last few minutes, Syracuse retained this lead. Syracuse led 11-8 at the end of the first quarter and 16-13 at the half. In. the third quarter, Cromwell pepped up a little, and managed to score every time Syracuse did. This quarter ended with Syracuse still leading 21-18. With only three minutes to play and Syracuse leading 26-23, things began , to happen, Syracuse’s crippled team began to limp a little. A long shot by McClellan gave Cromwell new hope, and then Knox scored, putting Cromwell in the lead. McClellan made the final score left of the basket and Cromwell came out victorious.
