G. H. S. SPOTLIGHT 33 Track That consistent hard work in athletics gets results is clearly demonstrated by our boys' track squad. In the County Meet, the major event of the season, the team was able to roll up a total score of 25 2-3 points. Our boys scooped the field events. Roof and Cump tied for first place in the pole vault at 10 ft. 3 in., while Hassler and Roof tied with Mercersburg for first in the high jump at 5 ft. 6 in. Hassler landed first in the running broad, stretching it out to 19 ft. 1034 in. Mellinger placed in both the 100 yard dash and in the 220, and ran anchor in the relay with Barr, Cump and Hassler, the team tak- ing a close third. With a little more attention to the cind- ers, our school should continue to show the larger schools that there still is dangerous competition in Class A. DOWN IN THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE Wasn't it pleasant, O classmate mine, In those old days of the lost sunshine Of youth-when our hard lessons were all through, And even tomorrow's lessons, too, And we were visiting, me and you , DC-wn in the Old School House? Wasn't it fine, when our lessons came out, And, then, without a fear or doubt We'd go to our classes and each recite Our share of the lesson with all our might- Wouldn't our teachers be filled with delight, Dc-wn in the Old School House? In the library and through the halls, We'd hear those we!l-known accent falls Of classmates, teachers, and strangers, too, And anyone else who chanced to pass through, When we were studying, me and you , Down in the Old School House! Wasn't it grand when we were in care Of a vacant period with no teacher there? How we all talked and whispered aloud,- And neally every one of the crowd Had a message to shout aloud, Down in the Old School House! And then when a teacher came along And found us talking, a happy throng, A great silence reigned over all, So that you could hear a pin fall, Or a mouse run across the hall, Down in the Old School House! I can see that teacher stand at the door, And gaze our little group o'er and o'er To see which was the guilty one, And if his lessons were all done Before another bit of fun Down in the Old School House! Sometimes Ithought they didn't like our class: From some of the expressions I heard passg But I believe, without a doubt, When all is told, and the truth comes out, They'll miss us greatly when we pass out- Out from the Old School House! And so many a time have you and I Together spent in those days gone by With Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, too, Studying, talking, and visiting through Vacant peliods-which we should not do Down in the Old School House! It all came to me so clear today! As you were sitting across the way- That soon no more we'll visiting be, But far from here on land or sea We'1l each be stationed, you and me , Far from the Old School House! -Lois A. Grove Helen: Which would you prefer in your fu- ture husband-wealth, position, or appearance? Edith: Appearance, my dear, and he's got to appear pretty soon. 1 John Henry, a city boy, had seen a cow but hc- didn't quite know what cows were all about. So when Mr. Way asked him in class to tell what cowhide was useful for, he was stumped. But after thinking, he replied, Well, a cowhide keeps a cow from falling apart .

32 G. H. s. SPOTLIGHT and everyone was keyed up to a winning pitch. G. H, S. brought home from the meet more than her share of the prizes, won by both girls and boys. Ruth Gordon proved herself the most dashing young lady in the county by win- ning first place in the fifty yard dash, and Esther Wallech won laurels by placing second in the basketball throw. Let's keep up the standard we have made for ourselves, and if possible, establish a high- er one! BOYS' ATHLETICS SOCCCI' Soccer continues as a popular autumn sport. The 1931 team, under Hassler as cap- tain, played a schedule of 8 games, winning 4, tying one, and losing Schedule St. Thomas . .. . . 4 - 0 Lemasters .,..,, . .0 - 1 Hagerstown Jr. H . 3 - 0 St. Thomas , . 1 - L Quincy High . . 8 - 0 Lemasters .,.. N0 - 1 Quincy High , 5 - 0 Hagerstown Jr. H ...... 0 - 0 Basketball Starting the league season with a ragged combination, due to a mix-up with eligibility 1-ules, and with Mellinger out of the game with a bad knee, G. H. S. faced the problems of reconstructing a team of raw material. With a nucleus of two varsity players, and a squad that had not played before this season, Coach Way developed a fast, hard working combination that was playing winning basket- ball at the end of the season. Unfortunately, these conditions prevented our taking a place in the county league. At present, prospects look 'good for a successful season next term. Baseball More boys have come out for baseball this spring than for years. Consequently, Mr. Davison has an aggregation-including a number of Freshmenithat has been playing some mighty interesting baseball. Smooth fielding and hard hitting are the order of the day. Scott in the pitcher's box, and Crunkleton behind the bat, although both new in these positions, have been a formidable battery. With loyal support, the combination spells T-E-A-M.
