16 - DEEDS AND MISDEEDS ATHLETICS The “BIG” Athletic Event of the Season BOYS BASKET BALL The basket ball season for the sev¬ enth and eighth grade boys for 1921- ’22 was very successful. Mr. Macy, the coach, had given the boys two weeks’ strenuous practice when the opening game was played with the St. Joe boys. We won by a score of 27-13. Our second game was played with the same team and we were again victorious but the score was 26-23. Our next game was played at Mon¬ roeville with their high school sec¬ ond team. Playing a hard fought game, we won by a score of 13-10. Our next encounter occurred on the home floor with a team from Monroe. The game was a one-sided affair throughout and we won, the score being 25-5. The last game for this semester which was also the last with all the members in the line-up who began the season, was played with the Berne eighth graders on their floor. They defeated us by a score of 24-11. As this was the last time that Carl Tucker and Audley Moser would appear with our team we were taken to a restaurant at Berne and Mr. Brown treated us. The line-up for the first semester was: Clarence Merryman and Lloyd Beel, forwards; Carl Tucker, center and Walter Baker and Audley Moser, guards; Ora Brentlinger and Doyle

DEEDS AND MISDEEDS —15 marble all came from Italy. A part of the ceiling is of pure gold. The walls and ceilings are covered with beautiful mosaics. I also visited the Capitol, the White House, Washington’s monument, the Pan-American Union where the Dis¬ armament Conference was held, the new Museum, the Lilcoln Memorial, the Zoo, and may other places of in¬ terest. After spending about a month in Washington I went to New York City where I spent several weeks. While there I was on the top of the Wool- worth building, saw the Statue of Liberty, the Bronx Zoo, the Battery, and the Metropolitan Art Gallery. Thus far I have mentioned only the most important things I was privileged to see. Space will not permit me to go into detail, ,but in every way I feel that my trip was of great educational value—GRETCHEN SCHAFER, 7A. BETTER WERE IT TO BE UN- BORN THAN TO BE ILL BRED Our teachers seem to think the above quotation true, for they placed in our hands a little book entitled “Manners and Conduct in School and Out.” In the book the following topics were discussed: The Street, The Street Car, The Corridors, Class Room, Lunch Room, Assembly Hall, Lavatory. Your Duty to Your Chaperon, Your Hostess, To One Another, To Older People, Introduc¬ tions, Table Manners, Your Duty to Yourself and your Home. Miss Coffee who had charge of the work, presented it in an interesting way that made a lasting impression. —GRETCHEN KOCHER. -•- MR. BROWN’S COMMANDMENTS 1. Thou shalt not whisper. 2.
