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.

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.
