20 THE TATTLER Never before, since the high school gym has been opened, has a five held their rivals from scoring from the field. The seven points that Ashtabula made were gotten on fouls. Savage being the man to get these out of ten tries. The guarding of C. H. S. was so excellent that the visitors couldn’t get a close range shot at the basket to save their lives. The passing was so last and accurate that C. H. S. just played rings around Ashtabula. It was hard to tell who the stars for the locals were because every man put up such an excellent game that even Coach Smith had to look the second time to find any very bad fault. If some man did happen to do something uncreditable, he would quickly smooth it over by some other excellent play. All the men played together and each made his part a link in the chain of other parts. Dawley and Tommy probably put up the best game that they have played this season. Childs did wrell for his first game, while Leach and Stone, the old faithfuls, put up their usual star games. For Ashtabula. Savage was the individual star, getting all of the points for A. H. S. Conneaut—42. Ashtabula—7. Smith Childs Stone Leach Dawley Goals from field—Smith 7. Dawley 6, Stone 5, Leach 2. Goals from foul—Savage 7, Stone, Leach. CAN YOU IMAGINE Myra Griffey not asking questions? Mr. Henry with a “head of hair? Why Deweese’s favorite color is red? How it would seem always to have the auditorium warm enough for chapel? Miss Kahler saying “For the love of Mike? Harriet Stoke not dreaming? Oakley Graham wdth a red neck-tie? Miss Hodge chewing gum? Allen Wardwell not blushing? Jimmy Davis being able to spell? Mr. Helman minus perfume? How it would be if our Physics teac her didn’t say, “This piece of equipment is out of order.” Mildred Allen refusing to recite? Hal Tyler and Ralph Stone wearing each other’s clothes? Winnie Hill not worrying? Mr. Alva Belding will begin a series of lectures early in March on the subject, How to Choose Your High School Course.” Mr. Belding is well equipped to speak on this subject as he has, during his eight year course at C. H. S., taken nearly every subject in the curriculum and can give points upon all of them.

22 THE TATTLER Mr. Helman to Irvin—“Can you add seven cows, three sheep and seven hogs?” Dean Irvin—“Yes.” Mr. H.—“What would the result be; beef?” Irvin—“No, bologna!” E. Stines (German 4)—“An unheard of mass of men drew up the street with a gathering string?” How C. H. S. teachers look upon us: Freshmen with expectation. Sophomores with indignation. Juniors with objurgation. Seniors with admiration. 'Tis better to have bluffed and failed. Than never to have tried at all. Example of Sophomore sight translation: “Passus sum jam—” Pass us some jam.—Ex. Poor little Carlyle! Have you heard about it? No? Why, the poor child was brutally insulted by Mr. Smith the other day. This is how it happened. Carlyle wasn’t doing a thing at the time, which of course, was most unusual, when Mr. Smith walked up to him and remarked that he, Carlyle, reminded him of a bushleaguer. Now if you don’t know what a bushleaguer is, ask some one. Well, of course, Carlyle asked why and Mr. Smith said because, like a bushleaguer who enters the league with volumes of newspaper praise behind him and then falls to obscurity, Carlyle ihad entered C. H. S. with a good record from the grades and now he couldn’t do a thing. There, now isn’t that perfectly awful? Wouldn’t you think Mr. Smith, a great big man like he is, would be ashamed of himself for attacking a litle innocent, cherubic lad like Carlyle? Carlyle, if we were in your place we wouldn’t let the matter drop there, we’d just challenge Mr. Smith to a snow-ball fight and settle it with blood. SPARKS FROM SHARKS. Harry Porter—“I don’t know what one of ’em are.” Helen Marcy—“Bunyan. he worked at this for awhile.” Carroll (translating German)—“Not before this had Hans saw—” Chas. Kaiser:—“And so you have two sides and the included angle of one equal respectfully to two sides and the included angle of the other.” Winfield (translating German)—“Professor Roentgen constructed us about the X-Rays.” (instructed). Mildred Capron—“Dionysius was the goddess of wine.” Marie A.—:“I don’t know what I’m talking about.” Charlotte C.—“The Thames River is in Germany.” Jite—“One hundred kilograms equals eighty miles.” Hazel Risley—“Phosphorus is used principally in matchmaking.”
