SHS Baseball Team (Cagney '17, second white cap from left)

SHS Football Team 1921
(Gar Davidson '23, leftmost, second row)

J.T.S.: The Basketball Team take the stand.
U.M.R.A.: Track booster buttons.
SAL MANNING (captain): J.T.S., I am here!
MR. HART: Mannino, does the Basketball Team like girls?
MANNING: We like Doctor Ellner,
We like basketball;
We like Molinas,
But we don't like girls at all!
MR. SCHOENBERG: Brandt, how is the Basketball Team playing this season?
PAUL (Whitey) BRANDT: (blushing) Well, if you must know, superbly.
MR. MARKS: Modesty shows true greatness!
AGRAMONTE: Senior buttons, modesty.
JOE CAIATI: (comes up dribbling after looking at the female cheerleaders) Well, Porwick and Monteferrante have changed during the summer, haven't they?
Gary Mirsky takes him aside and shows him the approved method of dribbling. There are 201 little dribbles at the back of the room. A little dribble is a drip bouncing a. ping-pong ball. The Basketball Team exits to the tune of anything you can play with a basketball.

The first two featherweights, Zaroff and Zimmer, appear on the 1948-49 football team

J.T.S.: Don Zimmer and Murray Zaroff to the stand. He calls them both at the same time since as everyone knows, they are Siamese twins with extension cords.
U.M.R.A.: Raise your pigskins. Thank you. Because of your splendid cooperation boys, I now offer you two Clinton buttons at a price that makes them almost a gift.
Don Zimmer and Murray Zaroff take buttons and chop them in half with their shoulder blades. (They always carry a few spares.)
MR. SCHOENBERG: (who knows perfectly well what kind of a team they have) Do you have a good Football Team this year?
D.z., M.z.: We have a wonderful team!
M.z., D.z.: We have Bernie Yarchover, Pete Price, Bob Bailey, and Murray Schnipper. We also have John Lezdey, George Giovanni, Carmine Sferrazza, Eugene Ruffini, and Kiyoshi Matsuo, our first aid man.
There is some strenuous name calling over the long extension cord.
MR. MARKS: (who is in on everything) Stop it! I hate scenes over the telephone.
MR. HART: But what about the skeleton in the closet?
D.z.: Girls make good cheer leaders.
M.Z.: They don't make good fullbacks.
D.z.: That is debatable. (No wonder the Debating Team doesn't like them.)

Coach Thrush gives the extension cord a little tweak that sends them sprawling. Whenever they sprawl they sing, so . . . eMZee Deezee:
We've got Yarchover, Price, Schnipper, and Bailey;
We beat
Every team
that we meet,
Except occasionally.
What do we care about girls
When we can get Clinton;
What do we care about girls
When we can get fifty yards at a run;
What do we care,
What do we care
About silken hair,
And lustrous eyes,
And perfumed air (Several female cheerleaders appear.)
Except occasionally.

At the end of the song a collection of strange looking characters(Stuyvesantians) paddle between the cheerleaders and two furious football players whose view they are obstructing.
