BASKETBALL TEAM

Page 23 text:

Manager —................. William Simmons In the face of many discouragements, Colt under the management of Coach Fitzgerald turned out a good-looking squad. The team was due to the fact that six veterans were gradua-ated in June. Considering these handicaps, the lack of experienced players, and the greenness of the team, Colt may he commended for the fighting spirit, and door—die attitude. “Pip” Se-curo, “Small” Van Voast and “Rubin” Russo were the veterans who gave the greatest support on the field. Colt so far has been unable to do much, having been beaten by Burrill villc, South Kingstown, and Westerly. However, there is no lack of hope in the squad or of faith among their schoolmates.

D. report)—“and a petition was sent to all the governors in Rhode Island.” Romano, to Frank Russo: “Frankie, wipe the hack window of my car.” Russo, wiping the window: “I wiped windows all day last night.” Herman Fish walked into (room 4) for some books.

Mr. Carlson: “Please stop talking or else talk so we can hear you.” Brown went to school one morning wearing a light sport jacket and it was made a joke of by pupils. Brown said, “Can’t a guy wear his brother’s jacket without everybody looking at him?” Senior Editor’s note: “It’s rumored that Joe Parella is to succeed Mr. Walker as football coach.” When the English tongue we speak Why is “break’’ not rimed with “freak?” Will you tell me why it’s true We say “sew,” but likewise “few”? And the maker of verse Cannot rime his “horse” with “worse”? “Beard sounds not the same as “heard”; “Cord” is different from “word”; “Cow” is cow hut “low” is low; “Show” is never rimed with “foe.” Think of “hose” or “nose”, then “dose” and “lose”; And think of “goose” and yet of “choose”. Think of “comb” and “tomb” and “bomb”, “Doll” and “roll” and “home” and “some”. And since “pay” is rimed with “say” Why not “paid” with “said 1 pray? Think of “blood” and “food” and “good”; “Mould” is not pronounced like “could.” Wherefore “done” hut gone” and lone”— Is there any reason known? To sum up all. it seems to me Sounds and letters don’t agree—Scholastic. JOE E. BROWN, 35.
