Herald, Horace Blitz, Commence
ment, Ventnorites
By Anard W. Littman
The Herald, Atlantic City
High’s student publication, ap
peared last Thursday, as was
stated by Horace Blitz, editor-in
chief, in these columns. The May
issu.e, as it was called, was most
assuredly a credit to every mem
ber constituting the staff. Each
department bubbled over with
wit while the editorial was ex
ceptionally good.,
Work is now being .completed
for the Commencement issue of
the Herald, the final and gem
number of the year.
HORACE BLITZ
Horace Blitz will travel tomor
row to, the Westbrook Publish
ing Company in Philadelphia
where he will inspect the work on
the Hperald Commencement num
% ber. He will be accompanied by
William Jordan, manager. It is
believed the above named will be
required to paste together a
“dummy” of the final number.
COMMENCEMENT
The Seniors are almost daily
rehearsing now for the Com
mencement which is to be held
in the new school. Miss Helen M.
Kennedy, music director, is- in
structing the Seniors in various
singing exercises for the memor
able-to-be occasion.
VENTNORITES ELECTED
Jack Martin, coming from
Ventnor way, was elected Presi
dent of the Glee Club, a major
organization' at Atlantic High
and considered one of the best.
The purposes of the Glee Club
are to encourage students in
terested in musical pursuits.
Martin proved his popularity
by being elected to so important
a position. His 'many friends
wish him on to greater things
when the Ventnorite steps from
the portals of the seashore in
stitution in life’s reality;
Likewise did Miss Suzanne
Finley come to the fore by being
elected to the office of assistant
secretary in the same club. Her
election as well as Martin’s was
unanimous—which speaks for
itself. /
LOCAL SPORTS
By Anard W. Littman
Field Day, the annual pro
cedure of Atlantic City school
kiddies, occurs this Friday/ when
thousands of scholars will appear
at the Airport to go through
several drills requiring co-ordina
tion of mind and body. Every
| child in the shore schools has
been especially trained for the
event and according to Dr. Fred
W. Maroney, director, of athletics,
the program this year will be
even better than previous years.
High School students as well
as the' grammar school and ele
mentary students will constitute
the perforrtiers of the day. Ath
letic events are included in the
gala program.
Several instructors in athletics
will direct the students en masse.
With a formidable lineup that
is certainly a world-beater, the
West Philadelphia baseball nine
Saturday invades the resort to
tackle Atlantic City High’s. rep
resentatives on the diamond.
"Coach Charley (Reds) Dooin has
put his men in trim for the ex
pected hectic tilt and according
to reports, the Quaker City nine
will be provided with some fine
entertainment in the national
pastime.
Clifford Van Dyke, who has
just recently displayed his talent
and who will from the present
time on take care of High’s hurl*
ing chances, will appear on the
mound, ready to strike fear in
the hearts of the opposing ag
gregation. Drew McConnell, last
year’s captain and a brilliant
fielder, will be out of the running
owing to the four-year scholastic
ban. Cliff Pharazyn will also be
on the sidelines. ,

West Philly’s hopes are based
in the following:

pitchers seen here in a decade; ]
Leaness, Mathews, Albertus,
Delp, Ortzman, Wenrick, Walters
and Captain Potter at the left
field position.

Dr. I. N. .Griscom, head of the
dog race proposition, announced
the first race would be held at the
Airport grounds .July 4. This
announcement comes as a matter
of special interest to enthusiasts
of the project as many are look
ing forward to the time when the
seashore will be able to boast of
one of the most novel* schemes
ever placed /before sport fans.
Dr. Edward Porteous is the sec
retary^ Judge W. C. Creveling is
mason secretary, whose duties it
will be to judge the entries as
far as qualifications are con
cerned.
The competitions are conducted ]
in almost the same manner that
regular horse races are with the
exception of a mechanical bunny
used to encourage the canines on
for greater things. The bunny
travels around on an electric
track, the dogs attempting to
overtake it. The same'idea has
already appealed in the South
where the officers of the local
project first received their idea.
