30 THE W I T A N Junior vs. Sophomore Girls If you missed the basket ball game between the Sophomore and Junior girls, you certainly missed something:. Talk about excitement! At the end of the game the score was 15-15. In fighting for the next basket, Mary Castle turned a few very graceful somersaults across the court, thereby losing the ball. The triumphant Sophs captured it, put it thru the basket and so won the game by two points. The Junior line-up included: Mary Castle and Elizabeth Argus, Forwards; Alberta Porter and Mary Williams, Guards; Miriam Cleary, Side Center; Alma Fuhrman, Jumping Center. Altho wo are defeated in our first game, to show that we are good sports, we hereby challenge any other class team to a game. Juniors vs. Sophomores In an exciting and soul-stirring battle of basket ball the Sophs triumphed over the Juniors, thereby winning the school championship. The score was 42-26, but it was closer than it looks. With five first-team men, the Sophs should have rolled a much higher score against a team with but two letter men. However, we have no excuse to offer and are satisfied with doing so well.

 THE W1TAN 29 Although no practices have been held as yet for the track team, we feel sure that, with Lowden at the helm, the team will do great things. If the Seniors show as much spirit in base ball as in other sports, we ought to have a goodly number of Seniors on the team, and there must he some to make it a success. As far as the managing goes, it is needless to say that Holly, our distinguished classmate, will rank second only to McGraw in managerial ability. The Seniors did not do it all. but we would like to ask the Question, “What would the sports of old C. H. S. have amounted to without the departing Seniors V' Perhaps the busiest students in the school are the Seniors. With the first meeting of the Senior Class in February, the Seniors have started out to do a great deal. Meetings have been held regularly every week since then. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Harmon Lott; vice-president, Howard Whelchan; secretary, Isabel Herman; treasurer, Hildegarde Mentley. Many important matters have been discussed at the meetings. The most important was the program which the class has planned. The program in- cludes the Senior Play, the Senior Ball, and the Senior Annual. Miss Sharer has been chosen as director of the play. It will, no doubt, be a great success, as we have in the class a great deal of talent along a dramatic line. The officers elected for the Senior Annual are as follows: Editor-in- chief, Harris Lowden; Business Manager, Emma Denise; Assistant Business Manager, Fred Culley; Sports Editor, Herbert Erbach; Art Editor, Wilbur Holly. ; t the last meeting the members of the class were unable to decide which was the best poet, so it was agreed that each Senior write a poem. The best poem is to be decided by Miss Emerson, Mr, Butterfield and Berenice Milner. Wallace Ware was elected Class Testator; Marjorie Sidam, Class Historian, i.nd Bruce Suter, Class Prophet. Mrs. Keenan and Hr. Hamilton were chosen as Class Advisors. The Seniors, who have taken over the candy sales, will appreciate your support. School Notes (Continued from page 2( ) Preparations for the operetta, “The Bells of Beaujolaiswhich is to be given early in May, are well under way. Rehearsals are already being held and Miss Spaulding promises as interesting a production as was enjoyed last year. It may be of interest to know that five of our boys are enrolled in Caval- ry Troop F. These are Gonion Speares, Gordon Howe, Harold Cross, Donald Davison and Lawrence Herman.

THE WIT A N 31 19 m 24 Not exactly a Boston tea-party, and yet a tea, was given for our teacher, Mrs. Keenan, by the Sophomore and Freshman girls early in March. Of course there were eats and drinks, smacks and gobbles. But the best was the entertainment. One famous event on this program was the silent orchestra. While Farmer Bailey’s ferocious movements directed, and Red Spenrcs, with her wild mop over her face, played at the violin, Mary Davison jumped two feet off the piano stool at each chord, and Scoop played on. Next came the game of “Gathering Nuts,” in which Mrs. Keenan played the leading role. Ruby Wilder danced and Miss Parker directed a two-minute drill in eye-winking. After Marie Nelson had sung and Helen Pye had dem- onstrated some of her ability, the tea party broke up and if you don’t believe us, ask some of the guests about the wonderful success of the party. John Lewis, one of the popular members of our class, is ill. Edith Stowell, who has been ill, is back in school. Who says the frosh class hasn’t talent? We understand four members of the class have outstanding parts in the operetta. They are John Maher, Robert Dutton, Ruby Wilder and Leo Fowler. Did some kind upper classman say that the Frosh was asleep ? They may have been for awhile, dear school fellows; but please remember that while they were asleep they were only planning to give you a return compliment for those who tortured them in October. Since that eventful evening we have learned much about the social aspects of our school. The Complimentary Return Party that our class gave on February 2lst was a great success. The orchestra did great work and was, or seemed to be, enjoyed by all. The decorations of green and white were artistic and as for 19
