15 TRUE BLUE How’s this for a yell ? We’ll make it 5, We’ll make it 10, We’ll make it a winning score. We’ll give those others what they need, And beat ’em off the floor. Sophomores! We have had two basket ball games this season. The first, with the Juniors, we lost with a score of 16-1. After this defeat the class awoke. Yells were written and distributed among the members, and the team was supported so well that the Sophomores were instrumental in giving the Fresh- men their second defeat of the season—which was not to be their last one. Our girls have not had a chance to perform before the public in basketball; but since as Freshmen, they won the championship in the girls’ tournament, we are not afraid that they will lose our record. Our class is always on the top. At the Hallowe'en party our stunt carried off the crockery. Of the two essays on Naval Edu- cation selected for the state contest, one was written by a Soph- omore. In the Red Cross drive the two Sophomore roll rooms were the first to gain 100 par cent, membership, one accomplishing this within twenty minutes after the opening of the drive. H. I. H. '22 FRESHMEN Freshmen, Freshmen, hullabaloo. All other classes, please skidoo. We Freshmen have always been regarded as exceedingly “green,” a title which we certainly deserve. The term “green” is always used in conection with lively, animated, growing things. Fellow students, is it not much more honorable to be alive and green than dead and brown as are so many of our “worthy” elders ? Basket ball scores this season: Seniors 22 Freshmen, 15 Sophomores 13 Freshmen 12 Eighth Grade 10 Freshmen 4 Are we always to be beaten in basketball ? Must we always remain conquered by the eighth graders ? It is not entirely our team’s fault—it is the fault of the other Freshmen chiefly. Come out to the games and cheer for our team. If you do not, then we never need expect a victory in basket ball. Our team members are: Center, Lawrence Anderson

It was the day before Crissmus an’ me an’ Huck was a-diggin’ in are snow igloo. We bilta fort around it an’ we wus jest a fixin’ the inards a little better. Huck got some water, an’ we was jest about ta pore water on it ta freeze it, when woops, it caved in. an’ we started ta fall. We was colder’n ise from the water we spilled on us, an’ all of a sudden we gets sort a hot, an’ sure a nuff, we wuz slidin’ cleen down Mister Deevil’s chiminey! “Hay you,” he hollers, “Do you think yer Santa Clause or what? Git yer carcass out a’here, or I will do it four you.” So we done it as fast as we cood. Then he cussed some uv the bee-you-tee fullest cuss words I ever herd. I wisht I dared cuss like that at the Sundy Scool Soo- perintendent. Then I seen a lot uv little deevils jumpin’ aroun’ an’ cussin' like holy terrers. They wuz jest like the regaler cleevil, onlee considerble smaller. They wuz red ’nd black with huffs an' horns an’ all them thiners. Then they tned ta hit us with their pitch forks, an’ I gess they’da done it ef they wuz farmers. But they wusn’t. I asted ’em what the big idea wuz in cussin’ an’ they sayd they wuz practisin’ up fer Crissmus, ’cause that wuz when Christ wuz bora, an’ he taut peepul ta be good. Then we seen are old skool teacher, an’ we give her the laff. Then she say’d she'd git evin with us when we come down fer good. I told her that we wuz gonna be white an’ pail bloo angels, an’ she shut rite up. Then we kept a failin’ an’ a failin’ li1 ity split, an’ sudenly we felta a change in the climeat—it was aufly cold. Then Huck sed it wuz hard ta breethe, an’ I sed, “that’s ’cuz we’re getin’ inta a vacyoom. After a while there won’t be no air ta breethe at all! Then we’ll both have ta kik the bukket, I gess, so sai yer prares.” Then Huck shut up. But after a while he sayd, “Tain’t neether. It's cuz wer’e goiri’ so fast.” Suddenly we stopped with a sting in are feet from the bump. After we got are wind bak agan we looked around an' seen a flock uv deers grazin’ in a pasture. They wuz a lot uv lit-
