Com was in the field and Apple was the Umpire. When Ax came to bat he chopped a short one to Sugar and the pitcher let Brick walk and sawdust filled the bases. Song made a hit and Twenty made a score. Every foot of the ground Slipper kicked, and he said Apple was rotton. Then Cherry tried it but it was a wild one. When Spider caught the fly the crowd cheered. Old Ice kept cool as the game went on until he was hit by a pitched ball and then you ought to have heard Ice scream. Cabbage had a good head and kept quiet. Old Grass covered lots of ground out in the field. Organ refused to play so Bread loafed and put him out. In the 5th.

It was a particularly dull morning, and small Conant was sent to the board to air his knowledge on final hooks, etc. He stood there twirling the chalk for about five minutes and then suddenly astonished his classmates by piping — “ If Caesar can swim, can Cicero ? ” YOUNG MAN !!! That II cost you 10 demerits! The B. S. Orchestra had just rendered a most brilliant program for their annual concert at the Lyceum. The theatre had the S. R. O. sign displayed, and one and all, young and old, cheered themselves hoarse over the youthful prodigies, at last came cries for the leader. Troland, modest and
