Athlrtirs Ashtabula High School has a very good schedule for her basketball team this season. There are nine games yet to be played and everyone promises to be a hard one. It is, therefore, up to the men to hold stiff practice every evening and make good in the remainder of the games. Those who have played this season are: Right forward, Stapleton, Pren- tice, Barker; left forward, Prentice, Stapleton; center, Morris.; right guard, Loomis, Streiber, August, Prentice, McDowell; left guard, August, Streiber, Loomis, Prentice. The Faculty Game Friday, January 6, the High School played their first game against the Faculty. Altho the Faculty has three young college men this year, their lack of practice lost them the game by a score of 23 to 7. The game was played in the new Y. M. C. A. gymnasium and was attended by a very enthusiastic audience. Mr. Salathe starred for the Faculty, while Morris played a consis- tent all-around game for the High School team.

ROBERT MUNSELL '12, Please excuse, Mr. Lowell, the freedom take, To remark that I think you made a mistake. And if there is no one who has an objection I 'would like now to make a little correction. In a poem you wrote a Iona time ago, About Sir Launfal and his vision, you know. There’s one certain line that is quite out of tune. Namely: What is so rare as a day in June! Just chanae the word ‘‘rare to r-a-w, A change that’s so slight, it will scarce trouble you; It strikes quite a different note in the tune, “ O what is so raw as a day in June! Not all our June days are so warm and so fair, There’s too much of a chilliness still in the air. I think, Mr. Lowell, you’ll surely admit The version revised is a much better fit. 17

T he Dart our best players were out of the game on account of injuries, and this coupled with Geneva’s excellent team work and the strange floor made the heavy score against A. H. S. In the fastest game yet witnessed on the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium floor, A. H. S. went to defeat at the hands of the clever Oberlin team, by the score of 23 to 16. While the game was a defeat, it clearly showed the men where they are weak and also proved that stiff practice is imperative if they care to show up well in the remaining games on the schedule. Y. M. C. A. The basketball men are very grateful to the management of the new Y. M. C. A. for their kind permission to the team to use the new gymnasium for practice. The gymnasium is perfectly modern in every way and is far superior to any of the halls which the teams heretofore have had to use for practice. Besides the basketball team, the other boys of the High School, who have joined the institution, enjoy its privileges to the fullest ex- tent. The young men are extremely fortunate in having such a fine place. There was a young man named Drake, Who was exceedingly fond of good cake. One day at a treat So much did he eat That he got a very bad ake. There was a young man called Prine, With the girls he started to shine, But he slipped on the walk And some of his talk Wasn't what you might call fine. We have a new teacher called Salat he, Who’s enough to make any gal laughe; He has made it a rule To stay after school With the one who excites his fell rathe Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute SCHOOL of “W- ENGINEERING Civil, Mechanical, Electrical Send for a Catalogue.
