Of course she thinks of just one Fellows, and all the Kiris have her dreams more or less.” “Charles Klotz will probably some day he compared with our silent presidents. He seems to be starting as they pay Cal. did.” “Isn’t it nice when two people so well suited to each other as Ruth Colling and Lloyd Southard pal around together? I hear Ruth is going to have the farm.” Miss Laurence remarked decisively: “Charles Hebblethwaite in- tends to become u great professor of mathematics,” hut Miss Mendenhall broke in with “Oh, I think he’s much better suited to follow Stephen Leacock’s footsteps.” “I never could quite understand why Ethelwyn Smith took so much interest in my history class when we were studying the Province of Alberta. Perhaps she’s thinking of living there. X often hear her speak the name.” “I believe Mary Agnes Farley is going to be a preceptress of Vassar College.” “Helen Brown brought In another theme for me to correct the other day. This one was on Banks. If she always has Harvey for her inspira- tion she’ll make quite a literary genius.” But just then Mr. Elden came in and as I slipped out he called the meeting to order.

I see her driving one frequently.” , “I believe Mrs. Shaft Is to take as her daughter-in-law In Septem- ber Miss Ruth Osborn. It isn’t necessary to mention Lester — he’s understood.” 'T hear there is going to be a new store in town. Thomas Comer- ford and Shorty Beers are going in partnership with antiques as their specialty.” “Wilhma Taylor intends to start a beauty parlor. John Clark probably will be a steady customer.

JOHN CLARK. FOOTBALL During the 1025 season Baldwinsvllle Academy was represented by a team of veterans. A uniformed practice squad of thirty-three was maintained throughout the seuson, while twenty-two men, or two teams composed the regular traveling squad. The first team was as husky a bunch of warriors as has ever been produced by the Academy. They worked well together as a team and had a remarkably consistent fighting spirit. Of the eight games played five were won and three were lost. The three games lost were lost to good teams- to Herkimer, champions of Mohawk Valley; Cortland, champions of the Southern tier, and East Syracuse, champions of Onondaga County. The second and third teams deserve much credit for their patience and hard work, for without them the first team would have meant very little. A great amount of praise and respect is due Couch Get no cm, who never lost confidence in the team and not only taught each individual player how best to play his position, but also taught the team as a whole many trick plays and shifts, all of which were worked with a marked degree of success. Harry Garrett, former Vocational football captain, helped a great deal as line coach. The teum will lose six men from the line and two from the backfield. However, there is plenty of good material to till their places, as the subs played in the majority of the games. Charles Klotz, left end, one of the smallest men on the team, was found in every play. Ring Carroll—left tackle playing hi3 fourth year, knew how to play where the play was. Robert Shea—a mas3 of strength, held down the right guard berth. When they came through right guard they stopped. Sloan Smith—the crack center, fought from whistle to whistle. Horwood Jones husky warrior, proved without a doubt his ability a3 a right guard and punter in every game. 15
