T II E D A R T 29 A. H. S. 4 II. H. S. 6 A. H. S. lost the first baseball game of the season at the Harbor. Richards the local twirler was in fine form and allowed but seven hits while, Deveny of the Harbor allowed eight hits. Our old rivals were once more with a horseshoe around their necks. With more practice our fellows are sure to have a scrappy team and it is up to the students to support them. A Regular Show I he county seat lads were the comedians in this show. 7 he score when the curtain went down was 23 to 2. The locals didn’t have to play baseball as their rivals were trying to do something else. C. Catlin. the Jefferson twirler issued 16 passes and eleven counted for runs. Summary: A.

28 THE DART The Old Homestead a new breed of fowl;” and to Margaret Dunn she assigned a place as a settlement worker, a Jane Addams, the second. She ceased then, and held out her hands for the rewards of her work. I he spell was broken, and again we laughed and jested. But we have found out since that memorable day, that life’s surprises are many and that the events of that day constituted one of the, for every prophecy has been fulfilled. Exchange Continued from Page 23 and your paper is up-to-date all through, but your exchange column is not very good. The editorial on exchanges is interesting as well as edifying. The Red and Black. Meadville, Pa.—We admire the skill with which you have handled the Shakespeare issue. Usually these Shakespeare numbers arc disappointing, but this one is good. The ‘Dart staff would never use colored paper and print. It hardly seems tasteful. A Chinaman was brought before a judge in Salt Lake City and received a fine for a slight misdemeanor. But the magistrate couldn’t seem to make him understand. “Look here, man, disgustedly, you pay one dollar or go to jail. There was no gleam of intelligence from the Oriental. The officer who had arrested him came up: “Say, you dish-face, you’ve got to pay a five-dollar fine. You’re a liar,” yelled the Chinaman; “its only one dollar.” John G.: Hello, there, say! would you loan me ten dollars for a week, old man?” Howard N.: “What weak old man? First Grad.: What’s the tooth brush for?” Second Ditto; That's muh class pin; I graduated from Colgate.” Just a simple, quaint old farm-house. By a silv’ry, rippling brook. But far grander than a mansion. In this quiet, shaddy nook. It is finer than a palace For tis home, sweet home to me. And each spot upon the homestead Holds some precious memory. ’Neath the shade of yonder birch tree Oft I sat in day-dreams rare. Those were days when life was fairest. And my heart was free from care. By the winding creek 1 wandered. Oftentimes in sunset’s glow, As the wide world sank to slumber. And the soft night breeze did blow'. Oh! the happy home cf childhood. How I long for scenes of yore! But alas! they’re gone forever, 1 may know them nevermore. Laurence C.: Won’t you take a ticket? We re getting up a raffle for a poor Galveston flood sufferer. Mary J.: Heavens, r.o! I wouldn t know-what to do with him if I won.” Won’t you take a seat? said the man in the street car, as he lilted his hat to the pretty girl. “No. thank you, she replied; “I’ve been skating all the afternoon and I’m tired of sitting down.” How did you ever get promoted from shoe clerk to the brass band?” Oh. they let me play the foot-notes cn a shoe-horn” Arthur L.: “That Morris has a magnetic personality.” Henry G.: Yes, I noticed he charges everything he buys.

T II E I) A R T 30 “Hit” after “Hit” All our batsman had to do was to step up to the plate and swing. Grand River was running after the hall all the time. Hogan pitched for A. H. S. and allowed hut nine hits. The sccre when the game was called so A. H. S. could catch the train, was 24-1 3. Summary: Austinburg 0 2 I 0 I 4 4 I 0—13 Ashtabula 4 0 13 0 2 5 2 7—24 FIELD DAY MEET Before a crowd rf 1200 people on Friday, May 19th, 1916. the A. H. S. track team surprised everyone by winning the meet by a 9 point margin. Wi h Sweet cn the side lines, things looked dark for Ashtabula hut Irom the first on, the old A. H. S. showed the proper fight and by picking an occasional first and here and there a second and third they were able to defeat the other teams of the county. This is the first year that the annual meet has been staged in Ash'.abula, and from the opinion of all it is the logical place to hold the meet. A neat sum of $300 was netted Friday and we feel sure that every one present was satisfied with the field, for at Bula there is not one event that can not be witnessed by all Paul Hogan and Harry Hall proved to be Ashtabula’s strong men, while C. C. Catlin of Jefferson copped the individual honors of the day with a neat record of 20 points. I he track is somewhat heavy as yet and owing to the fact that a high wind prevailed, records were not smashed in the runs but a county record of I 0 feet 4 4 inches was established by Barber of Conneaut in the pole vault. Conneaut came up strong in the meet and several times nearly overtook the safe lead of A. H. S. but after a pretty relay race in which Ashtabula showed they had some real sprinters the meet went to the black and gold with the sum of 37 points.
