TUSITALA FOR 1928 4 SECOND BASKET BALL TEAM THIRD BASKETBALL GAME February 24th, 1928 The game played today between Team H and III can truly be called a farce. The score was 41-1 in favor of Team II. It was in vain that the members of Team III labored to get the ball over to their forwards. The second team with great vim and vigor prevented every move. The crowd attending was most enthusiastic. Team II is to be complimented on its fine playing. FOURTH BASKETBALL GAME 4 March 9th, 1928 Amid cheers and mad yells the hnal game of the season came to a close. Team I was victorious with a score of 23 to Team ll's 18. A Both teams played excellently, Team I surpassing the expectations of the onlookers. Some beautiful passes were made by the players.

A., the ofhcial training quarters of the teams, and with the exception of the last game, were refereed by Miss Janette Vosseller, the physical training instructor of the school.

aw-W a TUSITALA Fon 1928 ' 'g'umoR PICTURE If! i ETHEL LAMBERG The desire to band together is characteristic of all human beings. We have our general organizations out of necessity, but we have our honor societies because we are possessed with an instinct of gregariousness. Although we always try to have a friendly spirit between the two societies, there still exists at present a deep fault. Some call it a necessary evil. That one's loyalty to her society should turn to narrow-minded partisanship is not the logical sequel of the ideals of societies. Perhaps, the best of Benjamin's ability in every activity is not localized in our particular society. The best liked girl in school may not be in our society either. The I T Luncheon The annual I T Luncheon was held at the Biltmore Hotel, Wednesday, December the fourteenth. Several of the alumnae were present. We are always glad, to welcome the old girls and see them come back and take an interest in the school's activities. Speeches were made by Mrs. Benjamin, Ethel Lamberg, Lucille Menschel, Helen Geller, and a recitation was given by Adele Harrison. After the luncheon we went to see The Connecticut Yankee.
