The Favorite IN WINTER, when the ice is hard. And blasts of wintry north winds blow. We like our stalwart Hockey boys. And truth to tell they’re not so slow. And. also, at this time of year. Our gym is gay with shout and call; They reign supreme—our stocky boys Who toss the bounding Basket Ball. But when the spring comes on in May Our Base Ball boys are good to see. You. too, will think so if you but look At them at practice on the lea. And then a little later on. Just 'fore vacation days loom near. Our Tennis team will charm you quite, And you’ll break forth a lusty cheer. Besides our trusty, brainy crew. Debaters called, who bring us fame In mental strife, will show to you We’re there in mind as well as game. But oh. the ones that fill our hearts With healthful, vigorous, strengthening joys. Are those who sweep the gridiron clean. Are just our West High Football Boys. We like them best, we must admit. But you would too, if you could see How bravely down the field they go For touchdowns, goals and victory. —Leonard L. Weiskopf. ltccni )-Nine
