The first of the year thirteen football sweaters were presented to the team. To receive a sweater a man must play six full halves. The men who received sweaters were Morris, Cook, Rice, Norton, Kochender- fer, Rogers, Whalen, Barker, Davern, Phelps, Blakeslee, McNutt and Manager Dunbar. The Team Phelps has made a good record as a football player the two years he has been on the team. Generally when a team has a star player, it is lucky if he plays half the games, and he is almost always injured when they need him most. In the last two years Phelps has not been out of the game a minute, nor has he called time on account of injuries. It will be very difficult to find a man to hold down Phelps’ position. His game this year was excellent. He easily led in the scoring. Left End, Morris, ’ll. “ Whiskey” played a star game at end for A. H. S., altho handicapped by a bad shoulder. Gains were never made around his end and he was also very good in catching the forward pass. 13

The Dart the way Americans, in their customary haste, are daily mutilating the English language. He urged all students, teachers and actors to eradi- cate the evil. ser We were visited this fall by the State Inspector of Schools, Prof. Twiss. He gave a very satisfactory report of Qur school at headquar- ters and we were placed on the accredited list for a period of three years. We have been on this list for some time, and so this is simply repeating the honor. We feel that this places our school on an equal footing with larger high schools than ours. 38? We, the retiring Dart staff, will and bequeath to our successors our good will, good wishes; our titles, some pleasure and plenty of work. We have in our term of office just passed, learned many things which will, without doubt, be of use to us in future years. We have enjoyed greatly our little “ stunt ” of journalism. An informal fraternity has been formed by the staff members which will, we sincerely hope, last after our school days are o’er and we are separated one from another. We have shared our difficulties and our pleasures equally, and we trust that in future years, when we look back upon our efforts in the literary world, we will remember only the pleasures. We are grateful to the faculty for their assistance, and especially are we grateful to Mr. Diet- erich. He has taken a deep interest in our paper as he does in all our High School ventures. He has given much of his time and thought to the betterment of the periodical. Although he has never written for it, as he believes a High School paper should be entirely the work of the students, yet he has done many things for it of which the students know nothing. He has been ready with his good advice and counsel at every uncertain place. Without his assistance The Dart could never have reached the degree of excellence we feel it has attained. Mr. Dieterich in History—” Give one way by which the people showed their anger toward Hamilton.” Beatrice A.—“ They burnt stuffed dolls just like him.” Wanted—To know what hair tonic Roy Sterling uses. Senior Girls. How do we know that poker was invented before Vergil’s time? Because he mentions a full house (omnis domus) in the Aeneid. 12

The Dart Left Tackle, Cook, TO. Joe played a mighty good game at tackle this year. He was right there when it came to carrying the ball and it was nearly impossible for the opponents to buck thru him. Left Guard, Rice, T3. “ Pat ” played first class ball and broke up many plays before they were started. His best game of the year was at Rayen. Center, Norton, T2. This is the first year that “ Cy ” has played on the team but he held down his position like a veteran. His passes were sure and he also was good at covering fumbles and punts. Right Guard, Kochenderfer, TO. “ Koch ” played good ball at both, halfback and guard, He was taken out of the backfield only because they needed him more on the line. Right End, Whalen TO. “Friction ” played a steady game at end, altho one of the smallest men on the team. Very few gains were made around right end. Quarterback, Barker, ’ll; Davern, T3. Barker played well at quarterback the first part of the season and then “ Shrimp ” took the team. He made many fine tackles and was especially good at running back punts. Right Half, McNutt, ’ll. “ Red ” played a good game for his first year. He was especially good on outside tackle bucks. Full Back, Blakeslee, ’ll. “ Pa ” played a steady game in the back- field this season. He was light for a fullback, but made up in speed and could be depended upon to buck anywhere from three to ten yards. The High School is fortunate in having a man like Mr. Webb to coach them. He believes in the new style of play and coached the fellows in it. Rayen said that Ashtabula played modern football better than any other team that met them this year. Our trick plays kept them guessing. Fashion Note Pants will be worn longer this spring. There will be little change in the pockets.—Ex. THE GLOBE The Home of Hart, Schaffner Marx’s Good Clothes 14
