THE COGSWELL 43 During the second term, the class basketball team had to acknowledge the superiority of the mighty Seniors, but put up a better game than was expected. A special meeting was called by the president on March 12, l9l-l, for the purpose of planning a picnic at Muir X'Voods. The picnic was held later. Much fun was had and, as Mr. lfiliss said, Much was learned in Physics. Five months ago we. a baud of would-be Cogswellites, came to the Cogswell Polytechnical College, each holding in his left hand a diploma, and in his right the mighty pen, an emblem of future learning. After being assigned to our respective classrooms we were ready to start on the hi-st lap of our high school career as the December class of nineteen hundred and seventeen. The following month tlfebruaryl the class constitution was drawn up and the oliicers were elected to take charge of the aHiairs of the class until June. They were: President, -lohn Nordstant: Yice-l'resident. Wiilliam Irvine: Sec- retary, XVilliard Sullivan: Treasurer, -loel Marston: Sergeant-at-.-Xrms, lrlarold Andersong Representative, lrlerbert Daly. Then followed a period of great complexities which tested our reasoning abilities to the uttermost. XVe were initiated into the mysteries of algebra, physics, English and ancient history. Besides these subjects, the girls were taught sewing, and at the beginning of the second quarter several were ready to start on their applied sewing. The girls also studied freehand drawing, while the boys took up mechanical drawing. Among the girls basket ball seems to be the favorite game. In several instances the boys have made a good showing in athletics. ln the interclass swimming meet held at the Lurline Baths in February, Elmer Hansen succeeded in winning his numerals by swimming second in the 50 and 75 yard dashes. He also took the twelfth place in the recent cross-country run. Herbert Daly, the 100 pound sprinter, took second places in the 50 and 220 yard dashes and in the broad jump. thereby winning his numerals, The boys' basket-ball team has contested some good games with the High Freshmen and have shown them that they could play better than the High Freshmen realized. In baseball the boys have not organized a team. although they have some good niaterial, and it is thought that they will do so in the near future. The class went for an outing on April 18th to Muir Wfoods and enjoyed a pleasant day. With the term drawing to a close, most of us expect to find ourselves High Freshmen next term, in spite of the difficulties we encountered in our first term.

THE coGsWELL 45 a1'gir'a Ulhauntvh Munras Puff, puff, thundered the mighty engine as it stopped at the little town of Cow Hollow in XYestern NYyoming to leave one passenger and go on pufhng down the track again. Thar she be, said an elderly man as he left a group of men to rush toward the fashionably dressed young girl who had just left the train and was approaching him, smiling. Daddy, dearest daddy, she cried as she embraced him. XVal, wal, Margie, yer the same little gal thet left me a year ago, only yer, a heap prettier with them new clothes on. 'Tm so glad you like them. daddy, she said as they approached an old-fashioned wagon with a group of curious looking men standing around it. The curious looking men were all cowboys and were as awkward as can be imagined trying to welcome Margie home after a long year's absence. However, after they had exchanged commonplaces with her and had also learned that she had liked New York very much, Margie expressed the desire to hurry home as she was very anxious to see her pet, Dandy, a beautiful Indian pony that her father had given her for her sixteenth birthday. XVith Margie's trunk fastened in the back of the wagon and her valise at her feet. the two started toward home. lVhile they rode silently over the familiar road it seemed to Margie as if she had only been away from this wild country, which she called home, a few weeks. All the days that she had been homesick and had longed for the open country, her father and Dandy, were forgotten now. She felt free to do as she pleased, for there were no strict boarding school teachers ready to scold her here. Ch, how good it was to be back home with her father again ! Now as they neared home the shadows began to lengthen and the horse, as if wishing to have them home before dark, quickened his pace As he quiclcened his pace Margies spirits livened and she planned to get up very early the next morning and take a long ride with Dandy. At last they approached their gate and Margie drove through while her father held it open. She had only driven a little way up the road to the stable when who Wasithere-right in the middle of the road, looking to see who was coming-but her 'dear old Dandy! Margie jumped out of the wagon, ran up to him, hugged him and petted him and said over and over again: 'fDandy, Dandy, oh, it feels so good to see you again! You remember me, donlt you, old boy ? In her excitement she almost forgot to give him the sugar she had put in her handbag especi- ally for him. I V V I After her father had unhitched Andy, and Margie and Dandy had looked the place over from the outside, Margie and her father entered the little house which was their home. A V A
