TE RRR S Evolution Albert Doyle, '23 It was long ago that this world was made First it was a great molten mass of fire It revolved round and round in space, just as It does today. In time a crust was formed Outside-the crust grew thicker And plants and trees and grasses came To live upon this globe we call our earth. Then people came to stay upon the world Real men and women as you and I Shall be. - Betty Belongs Sara Jones, '22 Betty Long had recently moved to Hillton. In her old home, she had taken great interest in school athletics, in Hillton she felt herself an outsider-a stranger in a strange town. To her, the football team was just eleven boys. Autumn at last arrived. Each Saturday a game was played and the Hillton score was always a Winning one.

8 SPECTATOR No one felt more school spirit than Betty, yet no one no- ticed her. At last the great game of the season, that with Ells- burg, was but a week away. Each day the school songs and yells were practiced until the cheer leader was satis- fied with the side line. The coach was doing all he could. Every trick known was practised until the instructor was satisfied to know that the boys were doing all they could both as a team and as individuals. i The great day dawned fair and cold. On her way over town to do the Saturday morning shopping, Betty sensed the feeling of excitement in the air. On every street cor- ner H. H. S. was painted in large letters. Even the mer- chants showed their interest by decorating their windows. Betty met Polly and Beckie, two of her newly acquaint- ed school friends. Have you seen the marvelous looking fellows from Ellsburg? was Beckie's greeting. l Betty, can you wait 'til the game this afternoon? If we don't beat them ! chimed in Polly. Oh, I can hardly wait until the reception this evening. Those fellows must be wonderful dancers, continued Beckie. Come on Beckie, we simply must go. So long, Betty, see you at the game, and they hurried down the street. Laughing Betty hurried into one of the large depart- ment stores and jolted her way to the ribbon counter where she purchased her high school colors. The happy throng of people were hurrying past her. In her excitement, she was trying to fasten the ribbon on her dress. The good- natured sales-girl offered to help Betty. My, but ain't it wonderful! I would just give anything to see the game. There, do you think that will be all right? I've sold about all the brown and gold ribbon in the store this morning. There. Gee! but that looks pretty. Gosh! but doesn't it make you feel proud to wear your col- ors propped right up in front of you like that. With a hearty assurance that it did, Betty hurried from the store. That afternoon Betty went early to the field in order to secure a good position on the side line. Much to her
