BULKELEY NEWS 11 fine one as Bulkeley is to contend with the Manual Training School after the regular Bulkeley and open events. The program will probably be as follows :—Bulkeley events; 35 yard dash, running high jump, shot put (12 lbs.), running broad jump and interclass relay. Then will follow the open events. These will be the same with this exception, the quarter-mile will be substituted for running broad jump. The Bulkeley students who contend against the Training School will be those who win one or more points in the regular Bulkeley events. This is a very important part of the meet. It will be the first time that Bulkeley has contended with any other school in track events for a number of years. The Armory will be open as usual for two weeks before the meet in order that we may have sufficient practice. Don’t miss the opportunity. Everybody come down and practice and everyone enter the meet. This means from Smith ’io to Baier ’08. School notes $OME generals gather in their line When they to battle are inclined ; But Caesar, according to O’Neill, Just put some “ horns ” out in the field. Weinraub pray be still today, Wake not dear Vergil from where he lay, Nor again translate while Bulkeley in, “ The Trojan soldiers waded in.” If ever you do want to know, Who makes four sided triangalos, Just approach the proper loges And you’ll find the name of Roges.

12 BULKELEY NEWS O’Neill’s not the only one who knows How Caesar dealt with his foes ; For now one Cohen comes forth to say That, “ Infantry in horns,” did stay, During the carnage of battle days. No doubt dear friends you’ve often heard That Angels fly just like the birds; But Weinraub tells something just as grand, When he says “The Angel winked with his hand.” Seniors, Middlers, Juniors, all Weinraub found something new last fall And if he’s questioned he won’t mind, To show you his frog with its tail behind. Strange things are said, Strange things are wrote, But one of the strangest is this I quote : “ John Winthrop was six inches tall.” (Berman ’io) Many lads whom I might name Have followed after a sweetheart’s train. But Gates is the only one as yet Who, when he sees a sweet girl-let, Will sing out with a noble ring She indeed is a cherubim. Some say Koran’s name is John Others are sure it is John Foran, But the latest answer to the myth, Is the sweet-sweet name of Elizabeth. If you see Benvenuti kicking a football with his hand, or throwing a baseball with his foot, don’t be astonished, for only the other day he informed his classmates that the hand and the foot were the same. Buck translating Latin—“ The pine tree steers him.” This is a great improvement on following your nose.
