TRUE BLUE 2U now all must join in preparation for the dinner. Out under the palm trees, charcoal pits are prepared to roast the pigs; and Juan, the colored man, sits all morning slowly turn- ing them over the fire, and anointing the browning pig with all kinds of glorious spices, forming a crust, which holds the juices inside so as to give a delicious flavor. On the beaches, torches have been burning for several nights to attract the turtles, who follow the light and come up on shore only to be caught by the men who lay hidden under the sand with stout poles with which they overpower the turtles. Watermelons and various fruits are put on ice, and many sweets are prepared for the dessert. After a great feast the children play with their toys and the men smoke on the veranda. Soon, groups of musicians appear with “bombos” (a kind of drum which is nothing more than a keg with goatskin stretched over it), rattles, boves, mandolins, and guitars. Then they sing Christmas carols in a plaintive Spanish style and gladly receive the “aguinaldos” or presents which their listeners give them. After the day is spent and the children are in bed, the older people sit on the veranda in the beautiful moonlight and talk over the events of the day until midnight, when supper is served and the guests depart. “HAUNTED” The wind howled dismally over the trees, And shrieked through the cracks in the wall. The old frame creaked and the storm doors squeaked And iron chairs clanked in the hall. The snow was drifted cn every side And the moon sent a ghastly glare, Proclaiming this the night of nights And that ghosts were everywhere. H. H. ’22 He—“I’m a little stiff from basket-ball.” She—“Where did you say you were from ?” Mr. Nordby: Just take it from me. if some of ya don’t shut up pretty quick, I’ll kick ya out, and yuh’ll land down in the office, and I’m afraid a crepe will hang on your desk for quite a few days, before I’ll ever let ya get back. By the way— Speaking about comfortable shoes, notice Lucille Collins!

TRUE BLUE 22 ) ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT FOOTBALL Early in September, Coach Kellerman issued a call for foot- ball candidates. A gocdly number reported, but some failed to remain after the first few weeks. Mr. Rock, who has played on championship teams at River Falls Normal, assisted Co ch Kel- lerman in football and his system of play aided the team in out- witting many of its opponents. The first game, the squad lest to Stillwater on its field. Most of the men were inexperienced and, although they held Stillwater for three quarters, they lost to the latter team in the last quarter. The following Saturday the team motored to Farmington and lost a county fair exhibition game there. In this game Frank Slaughter was injured. Although outweighed, our team played fighting game all through. October 4 marked our first victory of the season at Cumber- land. Although there was considerable room for impruv ement in the local team’s play, it completely outclassed the northern lads. The line-up for this game: O’Rourke, L. E. Murphy, L. T Andersen, L. G. Jensch, C. Staberg, R. G. Gorham, R. T. Thompson, R. G. Odenwald, O. B. Larson, L. H. B. Beggs, R H. B. Bleier, F. B. Substitutes: Kealy for O’Rourke. Sherman for Anderson. In the second Stillwater game the team completely annihil- ated “Old Man Dope” and won 9-0. Here the team received a set-back. Beggs and Odenwald collided in an attempt for the same forward pass, b th receiving injuries which handicapped the team for the rest of the season. The boys entered the Eau Claire game full of fight, but with green men. In view of this fact the team lost, The heavier and more experienced Eau Claire team had a comparatively easy time in winning from Hudson. fhe line-up for this game: Holden, L. E. Anderson, L. T.
