THE ORACLE. 27 others he might have been able to last the game out, but I guess that was just a put up job to let more of the students in to help them. The only ones on the faculty team that did any real playing were “Shaky” and “Rope,” the “subs,” and they did it all. Why, if it hadn’t been for some few shots we let Shaky get, there wouldn't have been any fun. Zeus would grab frantically up in the region of the roof and catch the ball and then, holding it above his head so Rus Miller couldn't get it, he would rush down the floor with poor Fred, who seemed to be trying to block him but he was really trying to let him get one in. The two most exciting points in the game were when Zeus lost a basket listening to the cheering of the teachers, led by Miss Ball, and when Mr. Howe sat on the floor and refused to play until somebody gave him some more breath. Don’t say anything about Mr. Howe. He’s a brick; have you for- gotten how he helped us with the scenes of Macbeth and Julius Cesar? Three cheers for Sammy! Let’s see what came next, oh yes, the girls’ birthday party! The boys did so want to share some of those cakes! We were hardly over the shock of seeing Miss Ball get a solitaire diamond out of the cake when the senior play came on the stage. Yes that play! Didn’t Celia do some tall fussing in the forest scene with a certain person in the audience. Wonder how much said person saw of the touching scene between Rosalind and Orlando. Who said Julia Marlowe knew anything about acting? No one, certainly, who has once seen our Frances. Was there ever such a demonstration of the fact, that “actions speak louder than words,” than Oliver’s five minute pantomime? Jigsaw puzzle! Why did the audience laugh at duke’s en- trance and at Adam’s dignified exit? No wonder the cast covered them- selves with glory when one of their number was such a born actor as Touchstone and one who was so natural on the stage. It seems mar- velous that such perfect rustics as Silvius, William, Phoebe and Audrey should be the products of a city High School. Strange but true, what a good country lout Cupid made! The forest of Arden will always bring to our thoughts a little shy-eyed forest maid, with long black braids, who captivated the heart of one of the rustics at least. As for Jacques, he managed to convey an impression of deep thoughtfulness much at vari- ance with his daily appearance. The play was tip top, but we mustn’t blow our own horns too loudly. Didn’t we have a good time at the senior reception that Mr. and Mrs. Best

28 THE, ORACLE, gave us! That was one of the finest times we have had this year and that comet, oh that comet, did you ever see anything so accommodating! How about it, Rus? Three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Best! That reminds me of the time we wanted to pass our finals and let the faculty beat us in the annual Senior-Faculty game of base-ball. Of course Prof. Beals and Charlie Line couldn’t play because the faculty needed some of their number for umpires. I’d like to know what Ben Evans told Beals that time when he called Putnam out on second base! Putnam slid in and was sitting on the bag when Ben caught the ball and tagged him; he then turned around to Beals and said something and Beals said, “Oh yes, of course he’s out.” The faculty are O. K. even tho’ they did beat us. Miss Ball cer- tainly gave us a dandy picnic; and we saved our board at home in fine style, for we had so much to eat we didn’t need any more for a week. But didn’t we have a great time! We cooked our supper, rather Miss Ball’s, by a blazing log fire in true woodsman fashion. Afterwards, we told stories and sang, and laughed at Mr. Best’s bottles, till a few drops of rain warned us it was time to go home; so hand in hand, we descended the mountain, while Miss Ball’s searchlight did the work of a competent chaperon. Perhaps we did get a little damp on the way home, but really wasn’t it the best yet? Three cheers for Miss Ball! a a FD Lowe sod 10
