ATHLETIC NOTES With the school days fast fading away, it is no more than proper to give our basketball team a little consideration in the way of appre- ciation for their untiring efforts, toward placing our High School among the foremost in basketballdom. A team of finer calibre could not be easily found in other schools of our size. Our boys won and lost, but the win of wins was the one over East Side High of Newark, the “Champs” of the Newark High Schools, to the tune of 14-9. It shows our team is in the championship class and capable of taking and giving. For this reason they have won a warm spot in the hearts of fans and of the basketball world, which will always be theirs. E. P„ ’21.

OLD GLORY Look! Look up on high, “Old Glory” flutters in the sky. Its colors, red and blue, and white Blend with the glorious morning light. The stars that shine from a field of blue Were won by heroes, brave and true. They came as do the stars of night, First one, then two, then a wondrous light Of little candles in the sky That always shine; that never die. So did our flag bring out the stars As our nation grew through the force of wars. First thirteen stars were all that shone. Upon the flags of our heroes’ home, I hirteen stars were all it bore All through eight long years of war. When with one exulting cry Our eagle bearer from on high, Placed upon the flag more stars— Each emblem of the state that’s ours. And so thrpugh all the coming years In peace and war, mid hopes and fears. Forever thus our flag shall be Emblem of freedom’s victory. H. B., ’21. ten
