2 BULKELEY NEWS l JOTHING is more demoralizing to a A team than to have one or more of its members ineligible because of scholarship conditions. An athlete owes it to the school even more than to himself to see that he is in good standing. Let us hope that those coming under the ban will make a little greater effort in their studies and procure the necessary grade. CONDITIONS In IHemoriam 3osepb Benvenuti, ’os ws-m I rHE undergraduates as well as the Alumni of Bulkeley School have come to realize that someone has passed out of their lives and can never be replaced. The awakening is startling and painful. He has been called to his haven of rest by a Higher Power. vStrong and sturdy of character, with an ever-ready fund of good nature, he possessed those manly qualities that endeared him to all. Without a doubt he was one of the most popular graduates of Bulkeley. As an athlete he was without a peer in local high-school circles. The dash and vim which characterized his play at quarterback and short stop, made him the terror of opposing teams. He received the Latin Prize during his middle year. He sleeps now, free from care and suffering. His memory will be cherished as long as there are any of us who sat with him in the genial charm of his upright ways. God bless, dear old “ Chi.”

Vol. VI APRIL, 1910 No. 3 Editorial S the school year draws to a close, we can look back with pardonable pride on the record of the year. What high school in this state has proven itself more active in athletics than Bulkeley ? Some, it must be admitted, had stronger teams. This was due almost wholly to a larger student-body and greater facilities. We have already entered into football, basket-ball and track with fair success. ASEBALL, in which we have made a state-wide reputation in the past is entering upon another season. Whether or not Bulkeley shall live up to its “ rep. ” depends entirely on us. With-the five players remaining from last year as a nucleus a successful season seems assured. On paper, the team looks as strong if not stronger than any in this division of the Connecticut I. B. B. A. With an even break in the luck we should go to New Haven to battle for the state championship as in 1906 and 1907. Let everyone strive to make this a banner year. BASEBALL A

♦ m Bur OW to avoid exposure ? That was the question which Fred had asked himself more than a thousand times since he had used the money. Often his thoughts had centered about his self-justification, but in every instance he had come to realize the disgrace of his position. True, he had to support his invalid mother and true the fact, that a sister at college had created the demand which had meant temptation and finally— At the time he had been disgusted, heartsore, filled with a feeling of life’s unfairness. But only last night he had received a letter from the sister in which she had mentioned writing a story with a thief pictured in all the ugly cowardice of his character and she had even added an afterthought as to her loathing for such an individual and his aged mother when he read that letter to her, had taken the opportunity to express her ideas on the subject. Supposing they should learn ? The thought made him shudder. The tender words of his mother. What would she change to? Well did he know that the exposure, if it cau e, would break her heart. But what was the use of worrying ? The question he must settle was some plan, some sure way of averting that dreaded exposure. His employer might find out even though he had apparently covered every loop hole. If he had only known enough to resist the temptation to buy that stock. How he ached to get hold of that rascal whose slippery tongue had induced him to take the step. No plan came to him and it began to appear that he must confess or be found out. His face lost its accustomed look of happiness. His body became thin. Every morning he entered upon his daily task with fearful heart.
