45. But we shall live in hopesg and woe to the ri- vals of the 1907 tea1n. 46. And so endeth the chronicles of the hard-lighting football team, 47. And when the snow began to fall and Prof. Kehler became used to yelling, Seniors will you please get to workf, 48. Manager Hebrew Felix did call for the basket- ball candidates. 49. And they were a strong bunch. 50. And after Prof. Strohmcier had coached them exceedingly well, 5I. They played that bunch of giants from Reading, who beat them at football, and they did Verily wipe the floor up with them. 52. And yea! they did the same with all who came along the pike. 53. And it came to pass that when all the games had been played, 54. They lost but one game, and that was to Potts- town, who had a lloor to play on that was a correct imitation of a bowling alley. 55. And lo! when the season ended the Lebanon bunch. whom we had beaten, did lay claim to the cham- pionship of central Pennsylvania. 56. And we disputed it. 57. Yea! we did challenge them to a game to be held on a neutral tloor. 58. And lo! they quit, for they cancelled the game. 59. And we were very proud, for there was but one team which had beaten us and we had beaten them in a return game. 60. And we did have their pictures taken, so that we would have a remembrance of that noble team. 61. And it was placed among the other great ath- letic teams on the walls of Prof. Str0hmeier's sanctum. 62. And that was the end of one of the most suc- cessful basket-ball seasons of the P. H. S. 8

82. And it came to pass that the weeks did roll by and spring did come on. 83. And Frost also came. 84. And forsooth! he joined the cool Middle class. 85. And lo! it was time for those, who were fleet of foot, to try their metal. 86. So verily! Manager Prettyboy Ryon did call forth the Relay candidates. 87. And they were of a greenish tint. 88. Yea! they were as green as the moss on Ll1e Blarney stone. 89. For they were all new men. 90. But they did practice hard and they were faster than last year. 91. And they lived in great hopes for a banner at Philadelphia. 92. But yea! there was much kicking about sending them down to the Relay races. 93. But after much scheming they were sent. 94. And it chanced that they were put in next to the highest class, and they did come in next to last. 95. And yea! there was great confusion and pulling of hair. 96. But they did their best and ran the best race that was run in many years. 97. And now we have arrived at the Commence-- ment period. 98. And verily! 1907 has been a good class and has completed its course in the P. H. S. 99. The world has been kind to us and we have par- taken of the fullness of the earth and of all its joys. Ioo. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Amen. . IO
