Page Seventeen TIIE TATTLER Conneaut. Cox was Conneaut’s star. He was the mainstay of the team and the pivot in team work. The main game was principally one of excellent guarding, at which Zaek and Cameron excelled for Conneaut. Ashtabula’s team work would be broken up time and again by these two guards. Eades played the best game of the season. Cowden and Curwood starred at passing. Ashtabula’s forwards did not get a basket until the last quarter, due to our guards’ wonderful work. The ball was almost all the time in Conneaut’s end of the floor and they had three times as many shots as Ashtabula. Ashtabula, though, excelled on teamwork and it was due to the playing of our guards that they did not get a basket after working the ball down the floor. Eades proved conclusively that he was the star of the whole team. All of the team work was centered around him. The men looked to him to shoot most of the baskets and he did, scoring 14 of our 20 points. He never seemed to tire and was always on the jump. Curwood and Cowden aided with their passing and continually broke up Ashtabula’s teamwork before it got fairly started. Conneaut got a 6 point lead before Ashtabula got started. Eades got three pretty baskets in a row. Hall got Ashtabula's first basket. He shot 3 of Ashtabula’s 5 baskets. The first half ended 12 to 5. The second half Conneaut scored 8 points to Ashtabula’s 10 and ended the game 5 points to the good, 20 to 15. Cowden missed 8 out of 10 tries at fouls during the game. C. H. S. Second—15.

THE TATTLER Page Nineteen tween the toes, ensanguining the said members with a pestiferous smear of “gooey” blackberries or other pie-filling. The basketball candidates would consider it a great favor if those who eat their lunches in the locker rooms would throw that part of their fodder, which they do not care to consume, in the barrel provided for the reception of the same. It would ease the consciences of some and also keep the mess in a general locality. C. E. ’18. GET BUSY. The greater part of the student body are congratulating themselves on passing safely over another mid-year exam. But, as usual, there are several who stumbled at the obstruction. They were not prepared. Fellow students, let this be a lesson to you. Do not find yourselves unprepared next June, and then curse the faculty. You might be fortunate enough, with a great deal of cramming, to prepare yourself in the last two or three weeks, but nine times out of ten, it will not work. So let me warn you. Get busy. Run no chances. Now is the time to begin preparing for that final exam.— next June. C. K. ’18. SIMPLIFIED GRADUATION. In previous times, until last year, graduation was always an elaborate affair, and much money was unnecessarily spent on fancy dresses, flowers and other extravagances. Last year the graduating class adopted a very sensible plan, and instead of spending their money on elaborate clothes, the girls all wore white skirts and middies, while the money was used for a delightful and instructive trip to Washington, under the chaperonage of Miss Kahler and Mr. and Mrs. Matson. This year, more than ever, as our country is now at war, economy is being practiced everywhere by nearly everyone. Once again the time of graduation is drawing near and with it the annual discussion among the Seniors of “What shall we wear?” Last year’s class all voted that they could not possibly have had a more enjoyable graduation, and this year, although perhaps on account of the war a trip to Washington might be impossible, would it not be
