T II E N V G (i E T Athletic Association At the beginning of the year it seemed ns though athletics would take a slump on ac- count of the lack of material. The class of 19 took with it four of the school’s all- round athletes. Mitchell Cohen, an excellent basket-ball player, left school because of his parents’ removal to Brooklyn. All in all. things looked dark for Butler High. How- ever. we have had this year what the school has always lacked, i. e., the services of a good coach. Our coach. Mr. Bustard, began in Sejv tcmber to organize a football team. Thru his efforts an eleven was organized which though they did not bring us victories, brought forth commendation from men who know good football. Football is still in its infancy in Butler but next year an Eleven of which we shall Ik» proud is what we ex- l ecr. The basket-ball team was one of the best the school has had in some time. Good, clean playing was the most striking feature of this year’s basket-ball team. They were the victors in almost all of the games they played. To date tin baseball team has played no games. We are unable to determine wheth- er they will la a credit to us or not. At practice it seems as though a very strong nine will uphold the school’s name. The Annual Field Meet will Ik» held in May. All tin» classes are preparing early in order to out-do each other. The school, as a whole, supi orted ath- letics in every i ossible manner. In Oc- tober over Eighty Dollars was raised by subscription to buy new foot-hall equipment. A check amounting to Twenty-live Dollars was donated by the Junior ('lass as a Christmas present. The students in large numbers have at- tended all the games. Thus the year for tlie Athletic Association has been a success, fi- nancially and socially. WIIO IS THAT LADY? Who is that lady whose heart is bent. Who never allows us on a bench. And movements like a talking-machineV Why, Sonny that’s Miss Eaton. She yells. “Fall in!” and when you do. She says. “As you were! Fall in!” Forty times around she puts us through. Why, if it isn’t Miss Eaton. Why does Miss Eaton act this way? She’ll be a lion tamer some day. No boys and girls, a trifle the other way. For Heaven is full of Physical Training. Twenty-Two

T H E N U G E T sensation we made in Jersey t'ity by giving our yells and school songs. Plain clothes men and policemen who were on watch for May Day Mobs, thought we were starting a riot. The Susquehanna was so burdened by the weight of the little Seniors that it was an hour late. We had quite a snooze on the way. One! two! three! four! five! struck the town clock in Sutler, Sunday morning, and each tired little Senior was nestled close to his little dollie in his little white bed- ready to roam any time Mr. Walton offers his services as guide and guard. ALMA MATER on the hills of dear Pequannoek, Amongst the maples old, Stands our honored Alma Mater With her colors blue and gold ; Steadfast as our slogan, ‘True Blue’, Loyal ns the regal gold, Undaunted we will strive anew, When her colors we behold. Four long years of busy school days. Amid weary toil and grind, An easy path through learning's maze We vainly seek to find; Though we win athletic victories, As our teams have won of old. Still we work for dear old Butler, And her colors b ue and gold. Twenty-One
