14 THE TATTLER ■s jlthleties j BASKETBALL ( . II. S. VS. MEMORIAL GYM. The Blue and White five lost the season’s opening game on Xmas night to the Memorial gym five. Lack of team work was apparent, and the shooting also was wild. Evans was missed from the team, and this partly accounts for the loss. Nolan and Mulvihill starred for the visitors, while Jacobs played true to form. Dunn, too, played a splendid game. The final score was 20 to 19. Memorial-29. C. H. S.-19.

C. .1. FREW, The Florist, State St. hone 1281 i; Two men of great fame and popularity were in opposition for that office. They were Tom Harris and Frank Miller. At the same time ithere was an old man preparing to cast his vote. He was quite an old man and looked as though he had seen the hard side of life. When the day of election arrived he hitched up his horse and drove ten miles through a rain storm to cast his vote. It was only one more vote for Frank Miller hut that one vote elected him governor of Pennsylvania. MERL CHILDS. ’14. “TRI E LOVE. ' The night was dark and stormy, Paul plodded through the snow, To see a girl he always loves, And never considered slow. He had on that pretty dark blue suit, And patent leather shoes, That red necktie, his mother gave. To him the night before. Onwmrd he trudged through the midnight drear, With his brave heart high with hope, For not one minute did our hero fear That his loved one 'would not elope. He arrived at the house and gave the sign. By which his maid would descend; The ladder leaned against the house, With Paul at the other end. As the crucial moment of his life approached, Paul's heart was filled with fear, Just suppose, he thought to himself with alarm, That her father might appear. Down came Louise in beautiful array, To brave Paul who attentively stood. By the bottom of the ladder and waited, Till Louise pulled down her hood. They jumped into an awaiting oab, Our Paul called out “In a hurry, please,” And on sped our beloved couple, To a life of comfort and ease, Where there will be no teachers, No one to stand up and ipreach, No one will come around and sass, When you are asleep in English class.
