Our girls were so pleased with this attention that they at once asked that the Cecil boys be brought up here for a game with our boys so that our girls might have a chance to show their appreciation was arranged and was played on April 8. It was a nip and tuck game from the very first fwhistle. Cecil boys were much heavier than Perry, but the game was fast, furious, rough and even. Lester Lowther refereed this game and if he ever had his hands fuller he was busy. Between halves Mr. Fife told Perry boys what would happen to each and every one of them if they let themselves get beaten, and it must have been a plenty judging from the way they dug into the latter 'part of the game. The final score was 29-23 in Perry's fiavor. This was our hardest fought game and the Cecil boys were the best sports we have met.

CALIFORNIA TRIP In one of the worst storms of the year we went to California to play the Normal girls. Three cars made the trip, H. D. Blair, Lester Lowther and Mr. Fife being drivers. In the party w-ere Miss Davis, Dorothy J enkins, Rena Blair, Margaret Esken, Emma Piersol, Helen Goldren, Laura Lahm, Anna Lowther, Leslie Williams, John Blair and El-eanor Knox. All went well 'till we reached the ferry at Newell where the river was very high. Rent fainted. Les got ex- cited- and left his emergency on and stalled holding up trafiic 'twenty-'five minutes. At California we got supper and then played the game, which was some game. We had the score 7-2 at one stage but over confidence proved our downfall. We wer-e defeated 14-11 and though defeated we opened the peoples eyes. The Normal people treated us especially fine. Coming home all cars stuck in the mudg H. D. beyond the Junfctiong Lester in Perryolpolis and Mr. Fife- well we don't know where, but he was s-een slipping into town at nine-thirty Sunday morning, and the last anyone had seen of him was one-thirty that morning. This was a real trip and showed the na- tives ithat when Perry High says they'll go any- where they go. PITTSBURGH TRIP 'On March 26th with Mr. Fife as coach, and Miss Davis as chaperone, the following girls started to M.cKees Rocks to play the girls there a basketball game: Dorothy Jenkins, Laura Lahm, Rena Blair, Margaret Esken, Helen Coldren, Emma Byers, Emma Byers, Emma Piersol and Esther Thorpe. Ar- rived in Plttsburgh, the coach had sometime! He was mistaken in a restaurant for the Sultan of Turkey. Miss Davis and the girls just would look in every window and were constantly getting lost. Rena had to be carried across all streets because she was afraid of cars. At McKees Rocks we had some game. Helen Coldren hugged the referee. Rena then threw the ball at him. We lost 25-22 in a real game. The McKe-es Rocks girls kept us all night and Saturday morning we were in Pittsburgh bright and early to shop-or rather to look in the windows. While we were engaged in this we lost our coach and one of the girls, and though they sp-ent the whole day looking f?D for us they never did find us till tran time. All went to the Davis in the afternoon. The coach liked Helen Keller best, Dorthy and Miss Davis, the dancing and Helen Coldren liked both. In the evening we went on the Wabash to Hickory Nat- ional school. That is some road! Talk about tun- nels!! The Cecil boys, who are Miss Reed's old boys. went with us, and they are some good rooters, and w-e won!! and against mighty odds too. Miss Reed cried over us, Miss Davis hugged us and Mr. Fife- was right there too. Sunday morning Mr. Fift took us to the U. P. Church. Sunday afternoon we vis- ited Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. Coming home on the P. Sz L. E. Fiss Reed set up th-e feed roy- ally. Perry received her girls with open arms ffigura- tivelyj though they wouldn't believe we had won a game until the papers came in. This is the greatest trip we ever had. A celebration of our victory was held in chapel Monday morning where the following speeches were delivered:
