12 BULKELEY NEWS Period” in the last issue of the News was written by Cogan of the Senior Class, but owing to some misunderstanding his name was not connected with the article. About Choate School. TN the last issue of the “News” an article appeared in which it was stated that Choate School was composed of high school graduates or students not able to hold a creditable standing in college. The head master of Choate corrects this statement saving there are no high school graduates in Choate and no students who could not hold a creditable standing in college. We desire to statf that it was understood that Choate was a college preparatory school composed of high school graduates. By the statement ‘ and students not able to hold a creditable standing in college” we meant no disrespect to the students of Choate but simply that they took a course at Choate before attempting to pass college examinations. We are very sorry that there should be any offense taken where none was intended. School News A T a recent school meeting Mr. Louis A. McCoy was given a check for $25.00 by the Athletic Association as a remembrance of his work in turning out a team that defeated Norwich in two shut-out games Mr. McCoy spent his Christmas vacation in a Providence hospital where he underwent a surgical operation.

14 BULKELEY NEWS Kidnappers. Within my heart and in my soul. My conscience gnaws at me, And bids me tell the things I know And let my thoughts go free. So now “I take my pen in hand,” To name our greatest fault, And ’till a clean tale I have made I shall not call a halt. Our school that looks so good without Is filled with crime inside; The fruit of many a yearly raid Has passed her portals wide. We steal the children ’way from home And keep them here for years; And pay no heed unto their cries Or to their childish tears. But still perhaps we’re not so bad, We try to make amends; We try to teach them useful things And try to be their friends. We try to show them nobler paths, Day after day, and then, As they from childhood upward grow, We try to make them men. Cogan T5
