THE SPOTLIGHT

(Elaaa Hfiatnnj

)ISTORY! The word itself stings the ears of many. It bringsto mind valuable, age worn documents hidden away from thepublic eye. The dictionary describes it as "a narration of factsand events, arranged chronologically with their causes andeffects." Think of it! Pour short years arranged chronologic-ally! I do not know the causes, but the effects upon the schooland the members of the class will be dealt with. But if I

should call it history, I may antagonize the mind of reader; so. let us glanceover—what everyone reads, sooner or later—a newspaper review of theclass of '27.

Look at those headlines! "Freshman Class Takes High School ByStorm. No One Hurt In Panic." Glance at this item. "Freshman ClassBecomes Quieted—Class Elections Take Place. The results of the electionare as follows: President. William Blake; Vice President. Melville Miller;Secretary, Alfred Fee; and Treasurer. Constance Leach. The 'Big Four"are worthy of their respective positions, and we feel sure that they willbe of great benefit to the class. The most important business has beendiscussed which fixes dues for membership in this most honored assemblyat one dollar per year."

Let's turn to "Drama and Arts Page." I always was interested inthat sort of thing. Look! "Freshman Class Wins Skit Show Prize.Donates Money To Class. Room fifteen presented a very comical skit thatwas dramatized with such marked ability, that despite the fact that seniorswere competing for the honor. Miss Teague's room carried off the prize!"Isn't that a fine beginning for "a bunch of greenhorns." For that was theirofficial name in high school. There is another interesting article. "Fresh-men Class Give Excellent Chapel Program." We haven't time to read it,but I do hope they will be as instructive and entertaining during the entirefour years.

Page six is the miscellaneous page. The "Freshies" can't be idle.Read this! "Freshmen Boys Gather Five Loads of Daisies for Chain."I hope the upper classmen will not impose on their good nature, but I havea hunch that they will- We almost forgot to take a peek at the funny pa?e.Isn't this a clever cartoon of the two little dears that were so deeply inlove that they strayed away from the Ancient History Class on the uripthru the museum? And look at this one! "'A certain, bewildered freshmanstops Fifth Avenue traffic by dropping her umbrella on a pedestrian fromthe top of a buss." Will freshmen ever cease to be freshmen?

Next, we'll turn to the sophomore review. The class elections arequite important; so let's take a glance at them "Sophomore Class ElectsOfficers. After a very careful selection of the class the following werechosen by their school mates as officers: President, Melville Miller; VicePresident, Betty English; Secretary, Constance Leach; Treasurer. RobertZundel." Don't you think they made a good selection? Now tnat the classlost its coat of green, I'll turn to page eleven and see what they have donesocially. Great! "Sophomore Class Goes On Sleigh Ride. Laughter andsong reigned on the sleigh ride given by the 'sophs' last Wednesday. Theclear biting evening made the refreshment at the Westfield Candy Kitchen

doubly enjoyable, and it was with many regrets that they turned home-ward." Read this! "Sophomore Fall Masquerade Grand Success. On thefloor were kings, queens, cowboys, cats, gypsies, clowns and a host of othermasqueraders. The dance was a success in every way, special note beingmade of excellent conduct of all present." Don't you think the class de-serves credit for its first dance?

Turn to "Drama and Art's Page" next. What's this? "High SchoolStages Musical Comedy! "All Aboard." Sophomores Take Many Parts inCast." The "Sophs" are actors in musical comedy! Will wonders evercease? You almost missed it. There—we must read the "funnies." Thatcartoon represents "the latest step" that was seen at the sophomore dance."The dancer goes into a corner, for he doesn't like publicity, takes threeshort steps without bending his knees, turns his arm continually in circles,steps backward a step or two, walks a few feet and repeats the process."I knew that some of the sophomores couldn't dance, but I didn't know theywere capable of anything like that, did you?

We must hurry. The Junior review is next. "Drive For Dues NetsClass One Hundred Dollars." The early bird surely does catch the worm.That's a fine precedent for coming classes, isn't it? But we forgot to seewhat officers received so much money. Here it is. "The following classofficers have been elected: President, Fred Habib; Vice President, Con-stance Leach. Secretary, Roberta Adams; and Treasurer, Mary Raymond.I know those officers worked hard to make uhat drive a success. Turn overthe page please. Just read these headlines: "Junior Sub Dance WellAttended," Juniors Take Leading Parts in Kathleen," "Junior Senior DanceSeason's Success." Well. I see the Juniors didn't intend to perish socially.On the next page general news is continued. "Junior Edition of Spotlighton Sale. The Junior Edition of the Spotlight contains some excellent edi-torials, stories, poems, jokes and general news." By the way I read someof the poetry, and it was especially musical and inspiring.

At last, we've come to the Senior review. Let's see who the learnedleaders of the fourth year are. There it is. "Senior Elections Take Place."The results of the election are as follows: President, William Blake; VicePresident, Leroy Albert; Secretary, Gunhild Erickson; and Treasurer,Robert Zundel. If these officers can stand the strain of the Senior year,they are deserving of praise ifor I was once a Senior myself >. I'm inter-ested in the Senior play. Turn to the "Drama and Arts Page." Look atthat! "Senior Play 'Miss Somebody Else" Greatest Success in History ofHigh School. On the evening of February 25 and 26. a crowded houselistened to the sterling performance of the p.ay. Such a production wasdue to the superb direction of Miss N. Whitacre and Miss A. Matthews. Thefinancial results of the play were also gratifying, about four hundred dollarsbeing realized." I expected this. As "freshies" they started out by winningthe Skit Show Prize, and they surely have kept up their reputation.

Let's finish the general news on page fifteen. "Seniors Win Junior-Senior Debate." I'm glad they kept up the precedent. I see a whole pageis devoted to the Washington Trip. I know the class feels repaid for thesacrifices they made in order to take the trip. That article on the lastcolumn gives the climax of their high scnool life. "Class Night ExercisesTo Be Held June 10 at Sherman School. Commencement on June 16 atthe Presbyterian Church." I know you want to be present after readingso much about the class.

OJrtp

)F YOU were wandering about the halls of Cleveland Schoolon the morning of Thursday, April 14, you probably felt theominous silence which pervaded the whole building. Thereason, oi course, was that the Seniors were not there—theywere conspicuous by their absence! il wasn't there, but thatwas what I heard.) The station platform was in a verydifferent situation, however. As the train pulled in, the air

was filled with calls of "Goodbye! Good luck!," last words of advice, andother equally unheeded remarks, to send us on our "Bon Voyage." On thetrain we encountered our guide. Mr. Manmi. Because of our anxiety toget there, every little creek we came to appeared to be the Delaware Riverand every stopping place next door to Washington. Finally we arrived inthe Union Station and went right to our temporary home—the Driscoll,the Gristle, the Bristle or any other name you choose to call it. Then theshrieks of girls as they found a new mirror in which to powder their nosesor a new closet in which to hang their dresses went echoing down thecorridors.

We were supposed to start out at 2:30 but it seemed ordained thatwe should be late for everything; so we didn't get started for some time.However, at last we were off on our first trip. As any Senior can tell youof all the homes, embassies, legations and like places we saw. I need notenumerate them here. One important place was the "zoo" where we sawthe famous "Buffalo Quarters." We visited the Arlington Cemetery wherewe were deeply impressed by the amphitheatre and the grave of the Un-known Soldier. Then we went back through Potomac Park to the awe-inspiring Lincoln Memorial. We finally arrived at the hotel—late for din-ner. Contrary to Millicent's fears, we weren't overwhelmed with beans

After dinner we visited the Congressional Library where we sawmany famous things such as the Declaration of Independence, the Consti-tution of the United States, and the bones of Christopher Columbus. Thatnight, contrary to many orders to put out the lights and go to bed, wedecorated the hotel with popcorn, candy, ice cream and other eatables.They must have thought a midwestern hurricane had gone throughRoom 309.

Friday morning we visited the impressive Scottish Rite Temple andthe National Cathedral which is very beautiful although it is not yetfinished. In the afternoon we went on the trip that most of us claim wasthe best of all. This was the trip to Mt. Vernon. We will always rememberthe "Scott Memorial" and the River Room. I think George Washingtonturned over in his grave if he heard Leroy's bright remark about his RiverRoom. It was this way. Leroy: "They call this the River Room becausei ts the only room in the house that has running water."

Voice behind: "Gee, he's most as bright as some in our party."

When we reached Mt. Vernon we had to go in front and sit up andlook pretty while the camera man "ground us out." On the path downthe hill to the boat by which we returned after seeing all the sights, there

WASHINGTON TRIP

THE SPOTLIGHT1'atre Thirty-Two

WASHINGTON TRIP—(Continued)

were signs which read, "Do not pick the flowers or injure the shrubbery."Some of the girls obeyed these so well they picked weeds out of the grassfor souvenirs. We sailed up the Potomac to Washington in the glow of aglorious sunset and arrived once more at our temporary home. That nightwe had our choice between going to a show or staying at the hotel. Thosewho stayed at the hotel can answer for themselves as to what they didwhile the others were watching love scenes and heart rending torturessuch as are often depicted at the New Cranford Theatre.

The next day, which we are sure was the hottest one on record, wespent touring the public buildings. First we went through the Bureau ofEngraving and Printing where our guide informed us they employ mostlygirls. Most of us agreed we would never spend a dollar or write a letter ifwe worked there very long. It was full of green paint, red ink, heat andvarious odors not exactly gratifying to the sense of smell. Then we visiteda very lovely place—the Pan American building. Here we saw a fountainsplashing amidst tropical trees while two macaws conversed with some ofour fair ladies. In the upper floor were the lecture hall, banquet roomand administration offices. The "back yard," where there were beautifulflowers and trees and a mirror pool, would suit the most particular. Nextwe visited the Smithsonian Institute, where there were many things thatcan be seen in the New York museums and more besides. In the oldbuilding there were models of women dressed in the gowns of President'swives, which attracted the girls, while the boys were interested by the warexhibits in the new building. After all that we had still the Capitol to see.We gathered our strength together and followed the guide through thisspacious building. Here, besides the well known Congressional Chambersand seat of the Supreme Court, was a room en the ceiling of which therewas a picture of a woman whose eves followed us no matter in what partof the room we stood. We also visited a room, known as the "Hall ofEchoes" because of its marvellous acoustic properties, where each statemay have statues of two men. It was lucky our hotel was near the Capi-tol, for we were barely able to struggle back and wilt into chairs, whilebefore our eyes swam visions of dark corridors leading into unknown some-wheres and doors to the right of us. doors to the left of us, and through itall heat. heat, heat! After lunch was shopping time for most of us, and,while we were frantically searching counter after counter, ominous blackclouds began to gather in the sky, and the last part of the way back LOthe hotel we ran to avoid the pelting rain.

Then was the time of hurried last-minute searching in drawers,under beds and in the closets for lost tooth brushes, vanity cases and othernecessaries. At last we gathered for our final view of the Union Station.When we boarded the tram we fcund a big sign in the window.—CranfordHigh School—I hope they really didn't think there were only eleven boysand twenty-seven girls in C. H. S.! As we slowly pulled out of Washing-ten, all over the car were cries of "Will you ever forget " "Wasn'twonderful' and "Let's go back next year." Of course, we ate in the diner,and we all hope there was some roast beef left because whenever one otthe waiters said to a table of Cranfordites, "Roast Beef, Ham or Feesh,"there was always a chorus of "Roast Beef!" As we drew into Cranford wesmelled smoke, and just as we got off, the "cow" let forth its melodiousvoice. Of course we knew then the smoke was a mistake and they hadblown the whistle in our honor.

The door bell rings—Penelope goes to answer it.P.—That must be Odysseus. tShe opens the door and a woman enters.)P.—Oh. why how do you do, Eurycleia? I didn't expect to see you. I

thought you might be my husband, he's returning tonight from atrip around the world. I just know he'll have lots of interestingthings to tell me.

E.—Why how perfectly lovely! I wonder if he has seen any people in faroff places who used to go to school with us. Would you mind if Istayed to see him?

P. (With a sigh)—Oh. no indeed. I'd be pleased to have you stay.E.—How lovely! Now that you've asked me. I think I shall. What time

do you expect him? Oh, there's someone on the porch now. Maybehe is here, t Penelope rushes to the door and Ody. is there. Theygreet and enter the room.)

E.—Why Ody.. how are you? Did you have a nice time? Were you sea-sick? Were you in Arabia? Did you see any Indian shawls or Per-sian rugs? Do sit down and tell us. Did you meet any of our oldfriends?

O.—How are you. Miss Jones? You asked me quite a number of questions,didn't you? Well, I saw everything there was to be seen. Yes, in-deed, I think I saw everyone of our old schoolmates. If you'll excuseme a moment, I'll get you my book of snapshots.

plays his banjo and leads an orchestra on a trans-Atlantic aeroplane.In England I met Mary Anglemyer. Mary is quite famous. She isthe matron cf a deaf and dumb asylum and she seldom talks. Shehas invented a new sign language. I met Betsy Boyer in Paris. Shepronounces her name Bceyer now. She is running an exclusive gownshop, making use of the French accent she gained in the SeniorPlay.

O.—Meta Shirmer and Edith Erickson. Meta is quite a famous dancer downthere and Edith plays her violin. I went on an excursion to the NorthPole. There I met Norman Burke. He is running a gasoline stationfor aeroplanes.

P.—Can you imagine? At the North Pole. Where was Evelyn Kugele?Wasn't she there with Norman?

O.—No, she is at the South Pole, running a hot dog stand for the tourists.When I was in Japan, I tuned in and heard Millicent Britton tellingbedtime stories. She has made a great success because the childrenalways laugh themselves to sleep.

E.—Millicent's stories were always very entertaining.O.—Here is a snapshot of Fred Habib in his court dress. I suppose you

have heard that he is interpertor to the Emperor of Japan. He speaks700 languages.

P.—Isn't that dandy. Fred always did talk a lot. Did you happen to seeEthel Harrington? I believe she is living in England now.

O.—Yes. She has just written a book of etiquette which every one is study-ing instead of Emily Post's.

P.—Mercy! Who is that in the funny costume? Did you go to a mas-querade?

O.—Now. that is Katherine Holding. She is the favorite in one of thelargest harems in the East.

E.—How shocking! I never thought Katherine would ever do anythinglike that.

P.—Isn't that a ghost? Have you been attending spiritual meetings?O.—No. indeed. That's Fred Kantner. He is a famous actor now. That is

a picture of him taking the part of the ghost of Hamlet's father.When I was in Switzerland, I took a ride in the Alps. Betty Ballarddrives a bus over the peaks for sightseers. At the end of the bus linethey give the passengers an hour to stroll around. I saw a wire strungbetween two peaks, so I went over to investigate and I found BobScott. He is a monk now.

P.—Bob Scott a monk, living in the mountains away from the fair sex?O.—Yes, he confided to me that the girls would give him no peace so he

became a monk. Now he can live in seclusion and perfect his radio.Here's a picture of David Cannon. He has been speaking in theLeague of Nations recently.

E.—Oh. I knew David would be a famous speaker some day.O.—Here's one of Roberta Adams.P.—Why it looks as if she were crying.O.—I was walking through one of the art galleries in Paris and I found

her crying. She had won a gold medal for her masterpiece but shewas expecting that it would have at least some rubies in it.

P.—Why, that looks like Gunhild Erickson. But why does she look sodejected?

O.—She is living as a recluse now, because she couldn't marry the man shewanted to.

P.--Can that be Billy Blake? Where can he be with those outlandishclothes?

O.—Bill has given up laughing. He's a missionary in Siberia.E.—Who would ever have thought it?

O.—Here's a snapshot of Michael Donovan. I was talking to him just beforehe went to some diplomatic meeting. He's Ambassador to Ireland,you know.

P.—How Michael has iooled everyone. We all thought he would be afarmer.

O.—This one ought to interest you, Penelope.P.—Why, its Connie Leach.O.—Connie is a jockey now. I took this picture of her just after she had

ridden her horse "Gossip" to victory in the English Derby at EpsonDowns. The class of "27 is certainly doing its share to keep Americaon the map. Here's Betty English as she won the InternationalBathing Beauty Contest.

p—Who is the distinguished looking man in the cap and gown?O.—That's George Laisen. He is Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Here's one

of George Wallace. He is a famous architect—but he always usesdotted lines—to save the lead pencil.

E.—What won't the Scotch think of next?P.—Oh, did you meet Charlie Chaplin?O.—No, that is Charlie's successor, our own Freddie Warnock. Freddie is

a wild boy now—he has beaten Charlie in everything, even in divorces.P.—Who would ever have thought that of Freddie?O.—Here is Agnes Shaheen of the white nose. She is a model and poses

for various advertisements. She has to sit perfectly still.P.—Those are some of the things she advertises: tooth paste, hair tonic,

cold cream, fashionable gowns, etc.E.—Where is Mercedes Lusardi? She and Agnes were always inseparable.O.—There is a snapshot of Mercedes.P.—Why she has got her finger to her lips?O.—She is librarian in the New York Library and is enforcing the rule for

silence.E.—How strange. I never thought she could keep quiet herself, let alone

keep others quiet.O.—This is Rebecca Lipshitz and Elizabeth Cox, making soap box speeches

to elect Mary Raymond on the issue of an Amendment to theConstitution that all four minute drills be abolished. Here's a pictureof Mary herself.

E.—Who is that in the abbreviated skirt?O.—That is Agnes Schmitz, "Fearless Agnes," as she is now called. She is

a tight rope walker.P.—That's the last thing I would have thought her doing. But why has

Melville Miller got a uniform on? There isn't any war now.O.—He has started a Military Training Camp for young ladies.P.—High school girls especially welcome, I suppose?O.—Here's a picture of Wanda Radlinski and Teresa Rozycki. One day I

was out for a sail and I heard some beautiful singing. The singingfascinated me so I went closer and found that it was my old class-mates.

P.—Did you see Marea Hibson? I suppose she is a famous dancer.O—Oh. no. She is a prim head-mistress of a girls' Seminary. Here's a

The football team featured some A-l playing and some terribleslumps. The first game with Somerville was a hard fought game frombeginning to end. Though losing Cranford showed wonderful fightingspirit. The team featured fine defense work though slipped up on offense,Somerville's strong point. In the North Plainfield game it looked asthough we were to have a championship team. With Rosencrantz starringCranford came out on top decisively, showing a much improved offensivegame. The first half of the Cartaret game was featured by fine playingalso. Rosencrantz, Berry. Frazer and McFadden starred and accountedfor fine gains. Then a slump caused the spirits of the Cranfordites tobecome downcast. The team was swamped by South River, beaten byGlen Ridge and overwhelmed by Roselle Park. The team couldn'tseem to get a hold of itself. In streaks spasms of former good playing waswitnessed. The ball was rushed up to Glen Ridge's five and ten yard linesthree times but Cranford failed to put the ball over. There was no excusetor failing to beat Union, simply bad playing and lack of co-operation. Theball was near Unions ten or twenty yard line during the whole game. Inthe Millburn game and the Alumni game the team "came back." Both werehard fought. One of the Millburn goals was caused by a misdirected for-ward pass and the other by a flurry of surprising attacks by Millburn.Frazer made the most ground, clearly being the star of the game. Cranfordalso showed her superiority over Cartaret Academy in several games.

TENNISWilliam Blake, Captain; Fred Warnock, Manager; Blake, First Man;

Zundel. Second Man; Warnock, Third Man; Vilade, Fourth Man.With all of last year's players back except Crane, the tennis team is

a very strong one this year. However lack of practice caused by the poorcondition of the Canoe Club courts and the poor care taken of them had itsinfluence in the first few matches. They were defeated by Summit in awindy battle to the count of 3-2. In the match at Atlantic City the team'sunsteadiness was the factor in the opponents' victory. Each match, however, was hard fought and Atlantic City gained a victory only after hardtussles. The poor weather has caused the postponing of several matchesto a later date. The remainder of the season is looked forward to withmuch expectation. Since three of the four members of the tennis team areseniors, interest is trying to be aroused in the forming of a second teamso that next year's team will not be entirely void of experience.

W. Blake. R. Forward; C. Kronas. R. Guard; F. Hayashi, L. Forward; R.Zundel. L. Guard.

With the same difficulties of green material to work against CoachSouter developed a quintet that showed a better brand of basketball thanhas been played on the Cranford court in the last four years. Albert andRussell were the only regulars from the preceding year with the exceptionof Blake who had seen quite a bit of service. In every game the actionwas keen and the score close to the final minutes. The first game waswith North Plainfield, Cranford seemed to out pass the opponents, butmissed upon shots. The contest was keen and gave much promise to Cran-ford in spite of defeat. One of the best games was the Rutgers Prep. game.Cranford clearly outplayed the Rutgers team and led at the half. The lasthalf, however, was featured by rough and hard playing by Rutgers Prep.,who piled up a lead of 12 points. Another fine game was displayed againstUnion. Albert successfully held the Union threat. Peacock, in check break-ing up the attack of the opponents who depended much on this man andcentered their attack on him. Cranford's fighting spirit brought them outon top by 3 points. On the whole the season was a success with seven winsand eight losses. The trouble was again in lack of fresh material andCranford had to depend on five or six men to carry the battle all the way.The stars of the season were Albert. Blake and Kronas. Russell was de-veloped into a good passer but he left school in mid-season.

The squad besides the letter men consisted of Everett, Cluff, Tarlow,Donnelly, and Pozgay.

TRACKMelville Miller, Manager; Mr. Hopper. Coach; Donald Rosencrantz,

Captain.Mr. Hopper had the difficulties of inexperienced material and a loss

of practically all of last year's team to work against. However, due to hishard work and unlimited efforts in developing the team Cranford had afine track team with prospects of a very successful season next year. Theonly regulars left were Rosencrantz. Anderson and Rosley. The others leftfrom last year's team did not go in for track this year for various reasons.

In the first meet with Summit Cranford romped away with an easyvictory due largely to the efforts of Rosencrantz who scored 20 points.Donelly also gave a fine exhibition in winning the half mile. Others whoperformed commendably were McKusik, Anderson and Reed. Though notso successful in the following meet with Pingry Cranford showed fine spiritand fight. Pingry's win was due to more experienced men and better allaround strength.

Anderson proved his jumping ability in winning the junior high jumpin the Rotary meet at Warinanco Park. Others were not so successful, fewplaces being gained. The Plainfield meet brought Cranford out fourth. Thecompeting of the team as a whole was commendable; Rosencrantz, Rosley,Donnelly and Anderson received 1st or 2nd places.

As stated before the majority of the team is this season green andinexperienced. Their showing was excellent when this is taken into con-sideration and they can be counted on to bring in consistent wins next year.The track team composed of Rosencrantz, Captain, Donnelly, Rosley,Anderson. McKusik, Reed, Frazer, McGrath. Baker, English—Rosencrantzwas clearly the individual star of the team.

With a nucleus of about five of last year players to work with CoachSouter again worked wonders, developing a fine baseball team. The chiefdifficulty was in the lack of pitchers. Berry, the only pitcher who had seenservice before was ineligible for the first four games. For this time thepitching responsibility rested on Miller, the only other dependable twirler.The fighting spirit and aggressiveness of the team is shown in the tight,close scores.

The first game with Glenridge showed the team's ability in finedefense work. The defeat was due to the inability of the team to bunchtheir hits against the Glenridge pitching ace. This same trouble was quiteevident in the Roselle game. There were hits but they were not bunched,and men were left on base too often. The North Plainfield game wasanother defense on the part of both teams. North Plainfield's victory wasdue to their outfitting the Cranfordites. The most exciting games of theseason were perhaps with that arch-enemy Millburn. In the first gamehere. Berry's splendid pitching and the co-operative hitting of the Cran-fordites gained a 10-3 victory. At Millburn, Cranford made a bad start andMillburn gained a lead of 5-1 in the seventh inning of a seven inning game.Then Cranford started the fire works. Timely hits by Farrell, Blake,Pielhau and others drove in four runs, tying the score. The game wasbroken up in the ninth when Albert came across with the winning run ona hit. Berry was the main factor in the victories, being unhitable in thepinches. The defensive stars are found in Blake, Enright and Albert. Theseplayers, with Farrell and Pielhau are also the strongest batters in the line-up. This year's showing has been a very successful one, featuring greatfight and hard played games.

HOCKEYLeslie Bragdon. Captain; Robert Scott, Manager.Hockey was taken up as a high school sport for the first time this

year. The season was very successful. Having no coach and uncertainweather there were difficulties to be worked against. However a hardfighting team was turned out. Hopes soared high when Cranford journeyedto New York and beat the strong James Monroe team decisively in a one-sided battle. Fine team work was displayed by Bragdon, Frazer andHayashi who made up a fast combination. The next game, with Pingry,resulted in a close victory for Cranford. Bragdon and Frazer as usualstarring. Vilade also put up a hard fighting game as did McFadden at goal.The next game with Pingry resulted in a ragged victory for Pingry. Thethird game to decide the championship of Union County was postponedindefinitely on account of bad weather. A second trip to James Monroeresulted in another one-sided victory for Cranford. However, in playingMontclair in the State meet and Hun School Cranford stepped a little bitout of her class. Yet these teams, coached to superior team work defeatedCranford only after a hard tussel. Bragdon starred in both games.

Letters were awarded to Bragdon, Captain. Frazer, Larsen, Vilade, andScott, Manager.

The Chorus has been unusually active this year. Shortly after thebeginning of the school year, the girls started practicing for their Operetta,"The Japanese Girl." which they gave in April. The scenery made by MissBass with the help of the whole school was lovely. Miss Dore showed thegirls how to make their kimonos and Mrs. Damon taught some of themembers of the Chorus a Japanese Dance. With the assistance of MissSansom and the orchestra and under the direction of Mrs. Fay, the choruscame out with flying colors. Besides the Operetta which took up most oftheir time, the chorus sang at the Union Service on Thanksgiving and onseveral occasions took part in the chapel programs.

MRS. FAY, Leader

The High School Orchestra was quite active this year; it played onseveral occasions at the different schools. Also it supplied the music forthe Girls' Chorus when it presented the successful operetta, "The JapaneseGirl." The orchestra intends to play at the Commencement exercises underthe direction of the leader, Mrs. Fay, and will be accompanied by MissFlorence Sansom.
