CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS Our girls can play some basketball In Lonaconing town, They lick the teams from far and near,h They never do go down. Three years the girls have played this game, And won about two scoreg For they play the game with all their might, Down on the Armory floor. Six girls compose this great sextet, Six romping, playful girls, In work or play they always smile, They surely are some girls. First in name and fame is Jennie, guard And Captain of the teamg Three years she's played all over the floor, And still she's got lots of steam. And them comes Mary, our tall center, Hho's always in the mobg She gets the tip on the other girl, And stays right on the job. Next is Christina, husky guard, ' lbout whom thereis nothing slowg , Her greatest hope, next to basketball, Is to live down in Moscow. Here's Minnie Love, as fuick as a cat, Although she's not very big, She's said to be the most dangerous girl In the whole Potomac League. Next comes Bertha, who leads them all In books as well as in play, She's the best little sport on this whole team, She'll be the queen of hearts alway. And last but not least, is Susan Todd, Jho skips all over the floor, She's QS light as a bird in chasing the ball, fnd she helps to pile up the score. There's Katherine, Emma, Margaret, who sometimes get to sub, Next year they'll all be on the team, Ind still they'll lick every club. Lest we forget thera's Henry M, Who's made this team of champsg He gives his time, he spends his coin, Nothing his ardor damps. Hurrah for the girls, hurrah for the boys, No honor shall they lack, They'll keep forever floating high The Orange and the Black. Arthur Francis Smith
