News Clipping, Approximate Date

Seniors Vs. Juniors
The seniors and Juniors of Sidney High School met in their annual clash last Thursday evening on the lawn at the home of Miss Adelia Root one of the teachers in Sidney school. The 15 Seniors overwhelmed the 3 Juniors, after a long and arduous struggle, the latter being strongly reinforced by a large number of Sophomores. No lives were lost nor other serious casualties reported as the result of the engagement.

Enjoy Annual Picnic
The Daughters of the Covenant of the Congregational church enjoyed their annual picnic Wednesday afternoon at the home of Miss Calla King on Riverside. The outing was to have been held in Beale’s park, but weather conditions were unfavorable so the hospitality of the King home was extended. A most enjoyable afternoon was passed by the society and a few invited guests, and a fine picnic supper was served.

Clifford Godfrey Home
Clifford Godfrey, who has been at the Oneanta hospital since he was injured so seriously at the fire May 25, was brought to his home on Pleasant street, Saturday afternoon. Mr. Godfrey received a fractured skull and for several days his condition was critical, but under the skillful care of the hospital surgeons he has made a good recovery and with the prospects that it will be a complete recovery in a short time.

Something of a Record
Miss Dorothy Smith, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. C.M. Smith, has a school record of which she certainly has a right to feel proud and which is seldom equaled. Miss Smith has finished her third year High School course and during this time she has not been absent or tardy. This devotion to school duties is certainly worthy of recognition. Miss Smith is also an exceptionally bright student and stands high in her studies.
