Everyone had a great time and felt that Mr. and Mrs. Otto could not be thanked too much. This is the first time that the parents of a student have ever undertaken an event of this kind. twelve

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.

CDBSEIKVCDM! N the course of a school day there are many amusing triv- ialities which occur and pass unnoticed by the majority but which are certain to come under the observant glance of a few. These insignificant events are not of sufficient import to bring a person under the stern reproaches of an authority, and neither are they criminal enough to make severe punishment necessary. With the express purpose of dealing out good natured reprimands as rebukes for the aforementioned occurrences, a small number of those observant ones have united in a club and will be known by the title above, “The Observors.” Each of those who have enrolled their efforts in undertaking the task of this club will contribute to the paper at each issue an essay treating some particular instances which have come under her notice. As readers will undoubtedly be curious to know the merits of these contributors themselves, it seems best to set down a few brief analyses of their characters. Among the leaders is Miss Irma Dictionary, a very skilled person, gifted in the literary line and possessing a vocabulary so copious that it is by everyone envied. It is hardly necessary for me to go into detail in regard to her talent, as our first selection, “Behavior in a Classroom,” of which she is the author, is sufficient to describe it. Another prominent member of our club is Miss Clever Canary. Whenever I enter the room I become enchanted by a loud suprano voice coming from the extreme corner of the room, and of course, immediately 1 know Miss Clever Canary is present. As I am used to hearing this solo, I very seldom pay much attention to it for as I seat myself next to Miss Berta Whistler, I generally hear her remarking, “Oh, dear, just look at the size of that shoe, you know my toe only touches the beginning of the point.” Then she immediately changes her subject, saying, “And, oh, you know they all know I’m mother’s child when they look at my big brown eyes,” etc. To Miss Berta Whistler, worry is just as unknown as happiness is known. She is one who heartily believes life is what you make it. Without doubt, Miss Whistler will contribute essays treating on that virtue she naturally possesses, and thoroughly practices. While I am peacefully listening to the usual speeches of Miss Berta Whistler, I feel one poking my back with her drawn up knees and whis- pering constantly, “What page? What page?” This is Miss Ima thirteen
