All reports tend to show that he is studying hard and win- ning honors in his work, which is a difficult one. A letter received from Mr. Sias recently states that he will be glad to see the halls of old West High and the pupils who haunt them. This feeling is reciprocated, for certainly it will bring quite as much joy to see him in the West High halls or at his regular desk. In the meantime best wishes of all the students are with him as he toils and grinds.

The praise, the honor, the popu- larity all reflected back to Mr. Spouse. Since Mr. Spouse has been so interested as to devote time outside of school to drill his clubs, it is expected that the students repay that favor. All that is asked is that all students who possess a little vocal ability come to see Mr. Spouse immediately concerning their ad- vent into one of the choruses or glee clubs.

Contrary to the past, the Orange and Black skipper or pilot, whatever you wish, has this season a flock of veterans from both the first and second teams. Besides these men, who, in a rough estimate number around thirty, are new comers who have turned out on the athletic held with the fervid intention of making the team. - Although the Genesee Street Institution loses seven veterans, namely: jackson. Loucks, Serenatti, Westbrook, Odell and Rowley, the losses will not be keenly felt. jackson is lost through graduation while Row- ley finally wound up his p. g. course. Serenatti, Odell and Loucks, who found no prospects in school and no laurels knocking at their doors, left. Red Harry, who was the talk of the newspapers last year, is attending school but will be unable to go out for soccer. R Tichenor found little difficulty in picking a goalie since Ham Niven and Dick Rich, two reliable lads, are available. Rich will, in all probability, carry most of the goal tending burden with Niven sharing in one of the half- back positions, where he is equally as good. Fourteen Losing two fullbacks, the backfield may seem to be completely shattered. Several men from the scrub team, Hall and Katsampes, are con- tenders. Mope Fahy, the honest spit ball artist, will, undoubtedly, occupy a fullback posi- tion. Tichenor can spare Fahy from the half- back line, having plenty of halfback material in store. V Halfback Line Strong For a strong halfback line, Tichenor has a choice of the following men: Hall, Richardson, Collier, Niven, Chet Harry and Hodgeson. This year, Tichenor will center everything about Chet, who was the all-scholastic choice the past three years. The forward line is expected to turn out the best offensive combination of any team in the league. No East High backfield, not even last yearys. would be able to withstand the pounding our forwards are able to administer. Every man on the squad possesses a sure boot and it will take more than scholastic backmen to stop their bullet speed drives. - Veteran forwards are plentiful, Woodbridge, Storandt, Shantz, Persse, Kirkpatrick, Warner and Decker being last year's mainstays. Many new promising forward candidates may bloom forth into the limelight before the season ex- pires. With a 'vicinity championship in sight, the team must be given perfect support by each student of the school. Bill Smith is the newly elected manager of the'soccer eleven.
