BASKETBALL The good work that has been accomplished by the football team is being duplicated by the basketball squad. Our basketball team is setting a fast pace, running rough-shod over all kinds of strange opposition. With the whole-hearted support of the school behind them, this year’s team has a good chance of reaching the state finals for the Class B schools. “Let’s go, Clifton!” i? 11 H BASKETBALL RECORD, 1921 Opponents C.

HISTORY OF THE SPANISH CLUB OW it happened that in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nineteen hundred and twenty-one, a band of Pilgrims did come forth into Room 23 of C. H. S. And they did organize themselves into a strong and mighty band called the “Spanish Club” and did choose for their leader one called Ruth of the Guilfoyle, who did rule them wisely, for her brain power was mighty. In the course of time it came to pass that another band of Pilgrims did come into the land and they camped across the hall from Room 23. They did call themselves the “ Spanish 1-1 Class,” and were likewise mighty in power. Weeks and weeks passed and the two tribes did store up ammuni- tion in the form of knowledge until they thought their fortress was mighty. At last, a battle was charged and it was called a “ Test,” while day after day the armies prepared and did arm themselves with a new weapon—“Confidence”—and, perhaps, “Conceit.” The day of strife dawned clear and cool and the “Spanish Club” armed with pencil and paper did fly their colors. But alas! they did meet with a sorry defeat, for the “Spanish Class” was mightier than they. Chagrined, they returned home to prepare for another battle which was called a “ Spelling Match.” Furthermore, a trophy of war was de- clared. It was a sweet trophy too—called Fudge, to be offered by one of the fair members of the Club. So it came to pass that again the day of battle dawned and once more did the armies show their colors. The hours passed, and the eve of victory came for the “Spanish Club.” Slowly, yet surely did the op- posing force yield until the battle field was free from enemies. Tired, yet happy did the victorious ones return home, feeling sorry for their beaten foe. And it happened that the trophy was awarded to the victors on the next day, but those cowardly ones who had shirked battle, partook not. Vainly they pleaded, but the victorious ones heard not. Thus ended the first term of the mighty “ Spanish Club.” VIRGINIA RUHE, ’22. Page Twenty-seven
