Jimmy Connels sprang up impulsively from his seat on the other side of the room and returned the gaze of his classmate. It would have been hard to find two boys in Glenville High School who were more unlike. “Bob” Martin was serious minded and business-like, he was never seen to indulge in practical jokes which are so common among High School freshmen. Jimmy Connels was of the exactly opposite type. Red hair, blue eyes and a witty tongue set him off at first glance as a “happy go lucky Irish- man.” . „ . As the two boys walked into the Hall Jimmy pulled a quarter out of his pocket and flipped it into the air, “Heads I win, tails I lose,” he said with a grin. Bob Martin looked at him seriously without saving a word and Jimmy put the coin back into his pocket without saying a word. “James Connels was elected.” The G. M. Whitney Co —5— WHAT YOU BUY-WE STAND BY. H. B. KURTZ Diamonds - Watches - Jewelry This was only the beginning of their rivalry. All through the football season they fought grimly from end’s position and when the season had ended both had played an equal number of games, each was dissatisfied with the showing he had made, and their rivalry had turned to hatred. After the football season was over, athletics were forgotten for a few weeks. It was a few days before Christmas vacation as Jimmy was hurrying from a class that he first met the girl. He was coming from the Science class and just as he reached the door he turned to look back into the room. He did not see the tall, slender girl entering. He ran into her solidly and instinctively he reached out to steady himself. It was his steadying arm that saved the girl from falling and for an instant Jimmy looked into a pair of startled eyes bluer than the skies. He held her a minute and stepped back and offered a gracious apology. It was one of his peculiarities to never get embarrassed. She looked at him with a smile and muttered some unintelligible acceptance to his apology and passed on. He did not inquire her name, but the incident separated her, in Jimmy’s mind, from the rest of the girls. Whenever they met in the halls they always exchanged a smile and after a few weeks of this acquaintance, Jimmy seized a golden opportunity and had a little chat with her. The basketball season opened and the old rivalry between Jimmy and Bob broke out anew. Both were out for the only vacant position on the squad. Four positions were held by veterans but left forward was open. Gradually the nine men out were weeded down until Jimmy and Bob were left. Every evening they were the first into their suits and the last to get off the floor. Every evening a grim struggle took place to get on the first team in the final scrimmage. Bob Martin’s superior weight and reach were offset by Jimmy’s nimbler mind and speed. Again, as in the football season the coach used them in an equal number of games. Jimmy would usually play the first half as he was a faster man, and Bob would go in for the last half. The season was coming to a close when their rivalry broke into an open fight. Bob had made the first squad for the final scrimmage of the evening and Jimmy, ill-temepCred because he had missed a few easy shots earlier in the evening, was playing the whole second team game himself. After carrying the ball down the floor several times on a fast dribble he saw Bob coming across the floor to head him off, he threw the ball over his opponents head and tried to dodge by him. A hard, bare elbow caught him in the face and drove all thoughts of basket- WHAT YOU BUY-WE STAND BY. The G. M. Whitnev Co H.B.KURTZ, “Hallmark” Store, Quality Jewelry ball from his throbbing head. He pitched into Bob Martin with blinded fury and the two had exchanged several blows before the coach and other players had time to separate them. The coach suspended them for the rest of the week. After a cooling shower Jimmy felt ready to shake hands with Bob, at the coach’s request, hut Boh felt gingerly of his rapidly swelling eye and growled something under his breath. It was during this forced session of hostilities that Jimmy, walking moodily home from school, saw his rival walking ahead of him with a girl. lie did not pay much attention to them at first, but as lie passed he saw that it was his blue-eyed friend. That was the final straw, for Jimmy who was used to strenuous exercise every evening, could not sleep until the small hours for disposing of his rival. At the end of the week Jimmy and Boh stood on the sidelines and watched Glenville win an easy victory and go into a tie for the county championship. It proved to he a costly game for Glenville. In the first quarter the right forward, and captain of the team, fell and hurt his knee. The accident did not seem serious at first and the sub finished the already won game. But the knee began to swell and by Wednesday it became apparent that Boh and Jimmy who were again in the game would have to play forwards in the game which was to decide the championship. Tn vain the coach tried to get them to play together. Basketball is the fastest game played and in a fast game a lot of the passing is done by instinct. No matter how fast their work was when playing with another forward, their playing became slow and uncertain when playing together, and quite often they would take difficult long shots when they could have passed to the other in a better position. The coach gave it up in despair and did his best to develop a sub to fill the captain’s position. Two forwards, who cannot play together, no matter how fast, are an absolutely useless combination on a basketball team. The gymnasium of Glenville High was filled an hour before the game began. They waited impatiently while a preliminary game was being played. A high cheer greeted the squads of the two teams, that were to play for the championship, as they ran out on the floor to get warmed up a bit before the game. A new basketball had been bought for the game and a famous referee from a college was to officiate. Jimmy went into forward for the first half as usual, with the sub playing the other injured captain’s place. A Hart Sehaffner Marx Suit is the bestrri-.,i r investment we know of. You can’t lose. M. Whitney Co. “Ilallmark”—means Quality H. B. KURTZ The game was fast from beginning to end. Old players who witnessed tlie game claimed that it was the fastest that had ever been played in the county. Jimmy played brilliantly but the inexperienced substitute went to pieces and played poorly. In the end of the half the score, was eight to five in favor of Alberta High, and the Glenville High rooters began to get nervous of the outcome of the game. In the second half Bob Martin went into Jimmy's position and the last half started in a deafening roar of cheers. Alberta High rooters went into a frenzy when their team had caged two field goals in the first minute of play. After a couple more minutes they got another and Ihe score stood 14-5 in favor of Alberta. The Glenville High center stopped the game and called a conference. The cheering stepped and everything was as quiet as a tomb. “Why don’t you play?”a girlish voice inquired. Jimmy Connels. bundled in a sweater, turned and saw that it was the tall, blue-eyed girl speaking to him. “Oh, 1 can’t play on the same team with that long-eared, homely grouch,” he answered bitterly. “Who do you mean?” she ashed, puzzled. “Bob Martin, of course,” he answered. “Well, you have a good opinion of my brother,” she said slowly. There was an icy look in her eyes when he looked up in surprise. “And I’ve got a fine opinion of a fellow that will stand by and see his school lose a championship, just because he’s on bad terms with a team mate.” Jimmy opened his mouth to protest, but what was the use of arguing with her. She would not listen to him if lie tried to tell her that they could not pass correctly when they played in the same team. The blood was racing madly in Jimmy’s veins when the Glenville High team took their places again. The ball was tossed up at center and the Alberta’s center knocked it to bis left forward who shot it back to the other forward, and lie dropped it into the basket before Glenville had realized what happened. Jimmy pulled the sweater off his shoulders and ran to the coach. “I’m going in,” he said, and without waiting for a word ran across the floor and reported to the timekeeper and referee. He ran up to Bob, and Martin, thinking he was going out of the game, started for the sidelines his shoulders drooping dejectedly. Jimmy took him by the arm and said, “Bob, I'm going in for the other forward. We’ve got to win this game and we can do it. Let’s show them something.” The Sweetness of Low Price Never Equals the Bitterness of Low Quality. 1 he (i. M. Whitney Co —8— VICTROLAS VICTOR RECORDS BRUNSWICK PHONOGRAPHS H. B. KURTZ The Glenville High rooters took fresh heart when Jimmy returned to the game and cheered excitedly. Slowly the Glenville High team began to cut down the lead of their opponents, and when the third quarter ended the score stood 16-9. In the last quarter Glenville started off with a rush. Jimmy and Bob worked the ball down the floor in a series of lightning like passes and scored a goal apiece in the first two minutes of play. The score was now 16-18 and the crowd was on its toes yelling itself hoarse. The Glenville center dropped a long shot into the basket from the center of the floor and the crowd went mad. With the score 16-15 the Alberta’s captain called a conference and the game was again resumed. A minute later one of the Alberta’s guards shot a basket and Alberta again stepped into a three-point lead. With only three minutes to play GGlenville fought bitterly and finally got the ball under their basket. Jimmy took a quick shot but the ball rolled on the edge and fell out. Bob Martin jumped high above the tangled players under the basket and hit the ball and it fell through the rims squarely and Glenville was only one point behind. “One minute left to play,” the timekeeper shouted at the top of his lungs. Glenville’s center rushed for the ring and he knocked the ball out of the referee’s hands. With only thirty seconds to play the referee threw the ball into the air. The center had given Bob’s signal and be came in like a flash and while yet in the air passed the ball back to Jimmy. Jimmy shot for the basket and while the ball was in the air the timekeeper’s gun went off. The ball went through the basket without touching the rims. A hundred Glenville rooters were on the floor in an instant after Jimmy’s winning shot touched the floor. The whole Glenville team was gloriously carried out of the gym. After a shower Bob and Jimmy came out of the school and started for home. They were met at the door by Bob’s sister. “I waited all alone to take you home with the car,” she explained. “I knew you’d be tired.” “We’ll take Jimmy home first, sis; lie’s just as tired as 1 am.” “Jimmy, meet my sister Lucille.” “I believe Miss Lucille and I have met before,” observed Jimmy with a twinkle in his eyes.

It happened just after the hour of ten as Arlington was going through her nightly role of weather reports and ship warnings. The weather was slightly damp and the temperature was about twenty degrees. A few liners upon the Atlantic were faintly heard taking directions as though they were lost or entering some foreign port with their cargoes. Things were dying down as though the day’s work of the world was completed and the people were settling down for one night’s rest. The shipping board orchestra had just got through for the night when suddenly through the still there came the signals of a low tone station calling 8ZL (Mrs. Candler of St. Mary’s, 0.) and it signed up 8ACA (Edward Green of Ashtabula, 0.). That sounded suspicious as he had not been heard fifty miles and 8ZL os two hundred. Furthermore, 8ACA has never been known to call up a girl on the telephone, let alone calling up a married woman by wireless, but it was now eleven P. M. and all sane people are supposed to be in bed. Robert Munsell and Gordon Burwell were both on the job and full of life as ever. Once more 8ACA called 8ZL but not one of us three would hear 8ZL answer, but our equipment was just as powerful as 8ACA who pretended that he could hear 8ZL. 8ACA went on talking with 8ZL but as we could not hear her we termed it as pulling the wool over our eyes and laughed at 8ACA but did not sign up so he did not know who it was. Evidently 8ACA was not asleep because he asked who are the boneheads that have just learned to laugh. I asked 8ACA if he knew it was illegal to court a married woman and while 8ACA was answering 8IIS (Munsell) gave me the sign of more fun brewing and when 8ACA stopped it surely started. 8IIS changed his tone and power to a perfect imitation of 8ZL and called 8ACA. Greeney thought that he really had got 8ZL on the line and asked if his signals were loud. 8IIS answered that he had amplifiers so that he could hear a ham sneeze on the Pacific coast. 8ACA thought that was pretty loud so he threw a switch which controlled his radio phone and grabbed the cat just as it crawled from under the table. He held the eat up to the phone and squeezed its tail until the ether was crammed with cat yowls. That stumped 8HS as he was unfamiliar with cats, to say nothing of a cat-fight by wireless. 8HS was stumped as he was unaware of 8ACA having a phone but Burwell had to start another joke so he put on a bird piece and set the victrola up to the radio phone. That started 8ACA’s eat in great shape for it let out some mournful yowls one hears under the back porch about two P. M. when two tomcats disagree. From The Sweetness of Low Price Never rr,Vm P.

They are so easily excited and when it comes to driving a racer it takes a man with good strong muscles.” This was the speech or rather opinion of Dick Southerly, -Jr., (spoken for the sake of Kitty Sullivan who was within hearing distance). He was very much interested in racers since he and his father had designed a racer. The racer which they had designed was now finished and they thought they would he able to win the important race of the year. Kitty’s father and Dick’s father were very bitter enemies. Kitty and her father had also designed a racer though it was kept under cover. Mr. Southerly was so triumphant about his accomplishment that he couldn’t keep quiet about it and consequently Kitty found out the new devices of the Southerly racer without much trouble. The Southerly racer was plain turkey red and black but Kitty being just like all girls desiring everything of her own different from what the other girls had, persuaded her father to have their racer a beautiful delf blue, trimmed in gold. The little racer was secreted in the garage in back of the Sullivan home. Besides being locked carefully in the garage it was safely guarded by Pat, the bull terrier, (whom Kitty had persisted in keping although chow-chow s and Pekingese were more fashionable). Pat was a very vicious looking animal and though some people say dogs have no brains, Pat certainly did. lie fully understood the racer was neither to he seen nor touched by any one except the Sullivan’s themselves. The day of the race was drawing near when Mr. Sullivan was suddenly taken ill. Kitty declared the will of the gods was against them. Mr. Sullivan told Kitty to withdraw their racer as he would not he able to drive it and could not trust any one else to. Kitty having a will of her own did not withdraw tlie car but got her cousin Tom to go with her the day of the race and to promise to not tell her father. The day of the race arrived. Dick drove the Southerly car and Kitty the Sullivan one. When Dick reached the goal he thought he had won since there was not another car around anywhere, lie was almost dancing for joy when the manager of the racer informed him he was second in. He thought the joy ol his life was all gone but when he was informed that Kitty Sullivan with her cousin Tom and BRADLEY SWEATERS AND JERSEYSrPU(, G. M. Whitnev C (). for the red-blooded young man. —11— “Hallmark”—means Quality. H. B. KURTZ Pat, tho dog, (seeing he refused to stay at home), had beaten him lie wished he could die. Dick hy this time was in a terrible mood (as most men are when they have let a girl or woman get ahead of them) when Kitty and her racer appeared on the scene. Kitty had been so excited because, she had won she had fainted. Kitty said, ‘‘I’m awfully sorry I have caused you so much trouble and hurt your feelings so but I’m glad I won because T think 1 have convinced you that girls can drive cars equally as well as men. 1 ’m willing to be friends if you apologize for saying they can’t. Dick apologized, though it hurt his pride a great deal to do so. The next year the Sullivan-Southerly racer won and Kitty and Dick wished it would for many years to come. As usual Kitty and Dick lived happily ever after. Pat became very lazy living on sweets and sleeping on silk pillows since lie had lost his position as Kitty’s guard. Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Southerly were at this time the best of friends. Each declared it was their own fault they had ever been enemies and say there’s no fool like an old fool. • Eulala Lewis. THE LAST GAME. Fred Burton sat in his dormitory room, deep in his studies for the following day. lie had nearly finished when some one rapped on the door. “Come in, he mumbled as be closed his book and turned around to greet his visitor. “ T came to see how you are feeling before the great game tomorrow, said Jim Danby, his neighbor, whose room was located across the hall. “You know it is just about up to you to win this game. The loss of Dave is going to make it very hard, but you can fill his place just as well as not.” Dave Granger was the “Euclids’ ” star fullback. He had received a broken collar-bone in a game a week before and Fred was going to take his position in the game with “Spencer,” the rival academy. This contest was expected to be the big game of the year as well as the last one. Both teams were, so far, undefeated. “Well, I hope I can take his place all right,” sighed Fred. “For if we lose this game we will never hear the last of it, for they beat us last year 14-7 and we cannot afford to lose again this year. How is Dave getting along?” “Well,” replied Jim, “his shoulder is in bad condition yet. The IF IT’S A SHIRT OR A TIE—YOU’LL r FIND THE NEW IDEAS HERE. Flic G. M.

He’s terribly disappointed because he cannot play tomorrow, hut he is glad that you are going to take his place. lie has an awful grudge against the fellow that lit on his shoulder last Saturday and he’d like to take his spite out on someone. That’s why he wants to play this last game. Gee-zow, I’ll have to go and do some studying or I’ll not be able to play any more. So long.” “Bon jour,” answered Fred. “I’ll see you over at the field tomorrow.” Fred finished his studying, undressed, and hopped into bed for a much needed night’s rest before the game the outcome of which depended largely upon him. The next day was ideal for a game, the wind blowing a little with a sort of nip in it that was just enough to put lots of pep into the players. The regular schedule for the morning was carried out, and after a light dinner Fred went to the dressing room where he slowly donned his football duds with the rest of the fellows. At a quarter to three the team trotted out on the field for a little signal practice before the battle proper. The sidelines were crowded. The Spencer Academy had nearly as many rooters as did the home school, and all were full of enthusiasm, many howling and jumping around just to keep warm, for though it was ideal weather for the players, it was pretty chilly for those on the sidelines. In about ten minutes, both teams lined up for the battle, Spencer receiving, Euclid kicked the ball to their ten-jyard line and it was carried twenty yards by their fullback before he was downed. For the first three quarters, no progress was made by either team and it looked as though the game were going to end nothing to nothing. This meant that Spencer would be ahead because of the victory the year before. Both schools on the sidelines were nearly wild with enthusiasm and cheered and yelled as though demented. The game was nearly over. There remained only two more minutes to play. Euclid’s quarterback called a fake fullback end run and how Fred ever got around there was a mystery to every one, especially to himself. First he would dodge a man, then straight arm one, till at last he crossed the goal just as the whistle blew. Then the crowd went wild ! They picked Fred up, put him on their shoulders and carried him around the field singing “Ilail, the Conquering Hero Comes. That night was a gay night for Euclid. A big banquet Avas arranged and Fred Burton, the winner of the hardest and most important game of the season, was the most highly honored guest. Raymond Smith, '22.

The street was deserted. The tenement houses on both sides arose like the walls of grim fortresses. Not even a stray dog was stirring. The “cop” was nowhere in sight and even the usual street loafer was absent. At length around the corner stalked a soldier of the realm. He was elad in the regular military uniform of tin can helmet, woodensheld, and a sword of excellent make. It was the type made by nailing one slat across another to form the hilt and the edge tempered down with a jackknife. Beside the regular equipment lie had a pair of field glasses made of tomato cans. With the aid of these he scanned the street and seemed satisfied that it was unoccupied. After glancing up and down the street several times he disappeared. A few moments later the steady tramp of soldiers in arms was heard. In due time they appeared at the aforesaid corner and turned into the aforesaid street. General Grant alias Steve Iloadley was in the lead. Ilis valiant army seemed confident in their leader for they marched with heads held high and all in all assumed a very dignified appearance. On and on they marched into the heart of the enemy’s territory. The silence was unbroken except for the Steady tramp, tramp, tramp. The stillness was like the calm that precedes the storm, and so it was. At last the storm broke. The “Rebels,” hurling themselves from doorways and alleyways charged the enemy, filling the air with their battle cry of “Down wid de Yankees!” Soon the air was filled with flying missiles, tin cans, old shoes, ink bottles and every now and then the heavy artillery would hurl a soap box or large oil can into the front ranks of the oncoming enemy. First one side and then the other seemed to have the advantage. At critical stages of the battle the opposing generals would rush up fresh troops, and so the battle waxed and waned. It is impossible to tell how long the battle would have lasted, but for the lookout stationed at a point of vantage who espied the blue coated arm of the law approaching rapidly from the rear. With the cry of “Cheesit de Cop!” he disappeared in a nearby alley. The battle stopped as if by magic and soon the former peaceful aspect returned and the “Cop” after sauntering up and down the street a few times resumed his beat. This battle, although it will long be remembered by the people of Dugan’s alley, was recorded in United States history as a victory for neither side. Paul Sheehan, ’22. Hey!

I dreamed a dream of dreams, last night, Twas about an angel, sweet, Who came to me in the dead of night; What she said, I shall repeat. “Thou should try a little harder, To keep in the paths, aright, For thou dost know of the promised land That is filled with heavenly light.” She vanished from my bedside, then, And I was left to wonder If I should have that Heavenly love And be taken over yonder. The angel was dressed in snowy white, A golden circlet on her brow; Her voice was sweet and silvery, I can almost hear it now. It set me to thinking, greatly, Her appearing to me at night, . I wondered, I must confess, If I was doing right. And just as I fell asleep, After thinking it over well, This thought did come to me, The thought I will now tell; “He knows the cause, His ways are wise and just; Who serves the king, Must serve with perfect trust.” Florence I. Davison. DICK’S FIRST HUNDRED. Dick Crawford was an orphan boy, who lived in Philadelphia, among the slums. His father and mother, both, were taken from him at the age of ten. This took him out of school, and he had to start out in the world for himself. When the world war broke out and there was plenty of work The G. M. Whitney Co —15— WHAT YOU BUY— WE STAND BY. H. B. KURTZ Diamonds - Watches - Jewelry to he had, Dick found employment in a factory. It was not long before he was acquainted with the younger men of the factory. Every night he would he out with these hoys and he didn’t save much of his earnings. These hoys formed themselves into a gang, and one of their “hobbies” was to steal automobiles and go for a ride and then leave them in another part of the city. The outcome of it was that they were caught and it took all the money Dick possessed to pay his share of the fine. From then on Dick realized the wrong of belonging to a gang like that, so Dick left them. The next summer Dick worked for a man who lived in the country and owned a truck-farm. That summer Dick saved one hundred dollars. Once he was in town doing some work for his employer at a lawyer's. The lawyer owned a wood lot which was for sale. Dick expressed his wish that he had enough money to buy it. The lawyer, being of a good-hearted kind, offered it to Dick at four hundred dollars, which was one hundred less than he had been offered. The payments were to be one hundred down with twenty-five every month after that until paid for. So Dick decided to take it. He agreed to make the first payment the next day. The next morning early, Dick set ouf with a truck load of vegetables which he was to sell for the farmer. When he arrived at the outskirts of the town lie saw under a street light for it was still dark, a muffled figure hastening away from town. Under the light Dick recognized the man to he -Joe Buscher, one of the gang. Dick whistled the gang whistle to him and stopped the truck. .Joe turned and came up to him. Dick asked him why lie was hurrying from town in this manner, and Joe explained to him that lie had stolen an automobile which belonged to the man to whom Dick was to sell the vegetables, and in the night he had run it into a curb and pole and smashed it up. Joe also told Dick that lie did not have any money to pay the man, so lie was running away, and was going to quit the gang. Dick made him go to town with him and on the way told him of the wood lot he intended to buy that day. When they arrived at their destination, Dick asked the man what the damages were and he said about one hundred dollars, so Dick paid the amount out of his own money, with which lie had intended to buy the property. At noon the garden truck was disposed of and Dick was going up to the lawyer’s office to explain to him why lie could not buy the property. But when he got there, to his surprise, Joe had been there before him and had explained everything to the lawyer. So the lawyer agreed to let Dick have possession of the wood lot and pay for it as lie cut the wood and sold it. R. J. K., ’22.

On the morning of January 11, 1921, the High School as a whole was deeply grieved and shocked to receive the news of the tal ing away of Cleman Rhoads, member of the Senior Class. His death was caused by heart failure after a brief illness of a few days. Cleman was very well know in school life and was as brilliant a student as had ever been enrolled in C. II. S. He was an active member of the Debate Club. Although he did not participate in athletics himself, he was always a loyal supporter of all teams. Cleman was very well liked by everyone who knew him because of his dependableness and willingness to aid his associates and because of his even disposition. Cleman would, without a doubt, have been Valedictorian of this year’s graduating class. At home he was kind and industrious, retarding his schooling one year to do farming during the war period. The High School extends its sympathy to the bereaved family, and especially to the twin brother, his companion and member of C. H.

Now the idea of this editorial is to try and devise some means of raising money so that we can buy these pennants, get them framed, and hang them on our walls. Wouldn’t this be a great addition to our trophies? Any suggestions will be gratefully received by any of the officers of the Athletic Association.

On the evening of December 17th, a large number of the people of Conneaut gathered in the High School auditorium, filled with curiosity and, seemingly, in quest of knowledge on the subject of “The Hen.” The first part of the program was given over to the wonderful oration given by Mr. Keidel, “the funniest teacher in C. H. S. This oration, entitled “The Hen,” was given in a very precise and convincing manner, and it is hoped that tin “members of the Grange learned many valuable facts about this small feathered creature, for it was plain to be seen that the orator had delved deepliy into the annals of “Hen-ology.” Many interruptions were made in the oration, to the evident dismay of the speaker, who, out of politeness, had to tolerate them for a time, but in the end he was always forced to call on the aid of Policemen Puffer and Blackman. Those making the interruptions were Walter Shearer, a poet, who brought sympathetic tears to the eyes of the orator, George Wood, Lloyd Davis and Gordon Green, three “talented” musicians, Lucille Irish, a hysterical old maid, Lucille Morton, a singer, and Norman Hawn, the Bolshevist. After these had been duly arrested and taken from the platform, the last interruption was made by Clara Ilarvey, who astonished the orator by telling him that the audience had enjoyed his oration, but that she believed they had heard enough of it, and beckoning to the policemen who immediately arrived, they finally succeeded in banishing him from the stage.

KURTZ Diamonds - Watches - Jewelry Miss Harvey then pleased the audience with a very interesting reading, entitled “A Christmas Present For a La%.” This was very well given. The second part of the program was a short play entitled “The Florist Shop.’ The scene of the play was laid in a florist shop in the early morning of a brilliant April day. Those taking part in the play were Lloyd Brace, as Slovsky, the proprietor of the florist shop, GeGrtrude Lillie as Maude, the bookkeeper, who tried to bring happiness to everyone, Robert Brydle as Henry, the office boy, Celeste Cant-lin as Miss Wells, a faded and sweet spinster, and Clarence Risley as Mr. Jackson, who had been engaged to Miss Wells for fifteen years. Each part was well played, showing that much time had been spent in endeavoring to make the play a success. The last part of the program was given by eleven girls dressed in pretty costumes. Miss Dorothy Westover first appeared and sang “A Pretty GGirl Is Like a Melody.” Then the chorus appeared, composed of Etta Clemens, Velma Holcomb, Ada Noyes, Leota Babbitt, Lucille Morton, Geraldine Glenn, Elizabeth Cossitt, Evangeline Fancier, Viola Dickson, and Eva Gunion. These girls gave a graceful little dance, this concluding the wonderful “Joy Night” program. The profits derived from the entertainment are to pay the expenses accumulated by the Armistice Day parade, and also the expenses of the library, which are many. CHRISTMAS VACATION. On December 17th, C. H. S. closed its doors for the annual Christmas vacation. This fact was not at all regretted by either teachers or students. Many spent the holidays out of town visiting friends and relatives, while most of the teachers returned to their homes. On January 3rd everyone returned with renewed spirit to take up the struggle with mid-year exams. Let’s not be defeated! CHRISTMAS MATRIMONY. A very pretty wedding ceremony was performed on Christmas afternoon, when Miss Edith Nance became the bride of Dr. D. H. Booth of this city. The wedding took place at the home of the bride in Jefferson, Ohio. C. H. S. congratulates Dr Booth, and wishes them both happiness and success. Say! What’s the matter with a wireless in C. H. S.?

On the evening of January 8th, the members of the Smith Literary society entertained the members of their sister society, the Victoria, at a party given at the High School. The first part of the evening was spent in the gymnasium where various contests took place, among them bean racing, cracker eating, nail driving, girls’ relay, and apple grabbing contests. Celeste Cantlin won the bean racing contest, while Janet Donovan excelled in nail driving. Lucille Crandall was the captain of the girls’ team that won the relay race. In the apple grabbing contest, Grant. Eighmy devoured his the quickest, therefore winning the contest. The crowd then assembled in the corridors, where the Smith quartette entertained them with their singing. This quartette was composed of Lloyd Brace on the piano, Lloyd Davis, Joseph Dawley. and Lome Campbell. Following this, Robert Brydle gave a unique and ludicrous dance entitled “Why Young Ladies Leave School.’’ lie was accompanied by a saxaphone trio. The remainder of tin evening was spent in dancing, music being furnished by Lloyd Brace’s orchestra. During intermission, refreshments were served by Smith waiters. The party was chaperoned by Superintendent and Mrs. C. M Dickey, Miss Kahler, Dr. and Mrs. Booth, and Mr. Henry. BASKETBALL RALLY. Tn assembly, January 7th, the first basketball rally of the season was held in anticipation of the hoys’ game with Ashtabula Harbor, and the girls’ game with Geneva. Mr. Keidel appeared with a bag of blue and white “bugs,’ the blue representing loyalty, and the white, justice, honor, anJ fair-play. These were then given to the people who were to sell tickets but before they could accomplish this task. Mr. Kidel showed them how to prepare the knees, the head, the eyes, the ears, (which exercise the girls could not take because of their manner of dressing the hair), and the chin. This last exercise was to make their speech convincing. The audience was then instructed, by exercises, how to open their pocketbooks and to beckon for the people who were selling tickets. The members of both teams were then called to the stage and presented with “Basketball Bugs,” after which the rally was concluded with cheers led by Lloyd Brace.

In the assembly, December 17th, a very pleasing entertainment was given, including songs and reading; all portraying the spirit of Christmas. At the beginning of the programme, Miss Kahler read the old, old Christmas story of the birth of the Christ-ehild in the city of Bethlehem so many years ago. Following this, the members of the Girl’s Glee Club proved their talent by singing “The Evergreen” and “The Light of Bethlehem.” A humorous reading was then given by La Vera Stoneman, entitled “Jest ’Fore Christmas,' and written by Eugene Fields. This was renderd in a very pleasing manner and was immensely enjoyed by her hearers. Clara Harvey then gave an interesting reading entitled “A Christmas Present For a Lady.” This was doubly interesting since it was a true story, written by one of New York’s most successful teachers, Miss Myra Kellar, who is also gifted as a writer. The concluding number was the song “Holy Night,” by the Girls’ Glee Club. ASSEMBLY—DECEMBER 10. On Friday afternoon, December 10th, an interesting and instructive program was given, in which the members of the Library Staff took part. Norman Hawn, the first speaker, after informing us as to the location of the library, explained in a general wajy the things we might find there if we were in search of more knowledge along the various branches of study. Following Norman’s speech, Cleman Rhoads offered some criticisms and suggestions on the use of the library. He said, what we all should know, that it is intended for study, and not physical exercise, as some seem to think. We should use it, but use it right! The next speaker, Lloyd Brace, explained the use of the “Readers’ Guide,” which is a new and valuable asset to our library. Joseph Dawley then told about the magazines which may be found in our library, including fictional, instructional, educational and scientific material. The last speaker, Walter Shearer, told about the coming “Joy Night,” which proved to be a great success for C. H. S., and which so truthfully lived up to its title. Know any good jokes?

KURTZ BRUNSWICK PHONOGRAPHS PUBLIC SPEAKING PROGRAMS. In assembly, January 14th, the students and teachers of C. H. S. were favored with one of the delightful programs arranged by the public speaking class, Frances Appleby acting as chairman. The first number on the program was a reading given by Marian Pinches, and entitled, “Polonius' Advice to Laertes.” Perhaps some may profit by this bit of worldly wisdom found in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” The second number was given by Margaret Reeves. This selection was “The Proud Lady,” by Ilenry Van Dyke. Richard Boyink then gave a pleasing reading entitled “His Country’s Call.” This was taken from Scott’s “Marmion.” Margaret Saville presented the fourth number, entitled “An Order for a Picture,” written by Alice Cary, after which Elsie Anderson gave a reading entitled “Nobility,” which was written by the same author. The last number, given by Eulala Lewis, was “The Highwayman,” written by Alfred Noyes. The program as a whole, was very well arranged, and all of the selections were given in a pleasing manner. Margaret Saville and Eulala Lewis gave introductions before their readings, making them especially interesting. On January 21st, another interesting program was enjoyed, with Frances Appleby again acting as chairman. The first number was a reading, “The Break in the Dyke, given by Lydia Payne, and written by Phoebe Cary. The students and teachers then joined in the singing of “Sunrise” and “Castles in the Air,” under the leadership of Miss Darrow. The next number was presented by John Wardwell. This was entitled “The Youth Who Wore an M,” written by Mulluch. The last number on the program was given by Elsie Thayer. This was a short reading, “When Earth’s Last Picture is Painted,” by Kipling. Both of these programs were very much enjoyed, and those appearing were well rewarded for their hard work in endeavoring to make the programs successful. ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET. On Saturday evening, January 29th, the members of the first and second C. H. S. football teams enjoyed their annual banquet. This gala affair was held in the superintendent’s office in the High Specialists in Clothes of the “BetterrrUp r Yf Whit TIG V Co Kind” for the Young Men. J ’’ H. B.

The members of the domestic science department served a delicious four-course dinner which was speedily partaken of by the football men. The members of the art department also deserve credit for the artistic menus and place cards, which were effectively designed with pigs and footballs. Following the banquet, a number of toasts were given, Superintendent Dickey acting as symposiarch. The following clever speeches were given: “Pigs,” by Henry Puffer, “Pig’s Skin,” by Frank Sanford, “Pig Skin Chasers,” by Lome Campbell, “Rooters,” by Miss Kahler. “He Fain Would Fill His Belly With the Husks,” by Lloyd Davis, and “Civilized Beneath the Pig’s Skin,” by Captain Lafferty. After the toasts were given, “C’s” were awarded to the following fifteen players: James O’Connor, Neil Lafferty, Henry Puffer, Howard Puffer, Raymond Smith, Frank Sanford, Lloyd Davis, George Wood, Ilmari Kananen, Thomas McKenzie, Leon Woodworth, Lome Campbell, Clarence Belnap, Arthur Blackman, and Otto Steele. The absence of the sixteenth player, Roy Leahy, was deeply regretted, for none deserved a “C” more than he. The election of captain then took place, Leon Woodworth being named Captain of the Football Team of 1921. GIRLS ENJOY “EATS '. On Wednesday evening, January 19th, the members of the Girls’ Basketball Team turned their practice into a social affair, and a tureen supper was highly enjoyed in the Domestic Science room.

George Smith, ’20, who is attending Amherst, caused quite a comment by walking up the street with all the buckles of his galoshes unfastened,.

S. shooting the first basket and very nearly running rings around the old-timers, but such a fast game could hardly continue for great length of time as neither team was in the very “pink of condition; so along about the last of the first quarter the playing slowed down a trifle and just about that time the Ex-highs began to get the range of the varsity and several pretty baskets were hung up. The first quarter ended 6 to 5 in favor of the high school. Most all the Ex-highs had had the benefit of early basketball practice at college, so had a trifle the edge on the high school, and this training cropped out at the beginning of the second quarter and continued throughout the rest of the game. The high school team nevertheless put up a mighty scrappy game and at no time during the game were the Ex-highs positively sure that the game was their’s.

Wenner made 9 of Harbor’s 17. C. II. S. showed her few weak spots and many strong spots, the weak spots being mainly the lack of a good offensive. Our defensive worked to perfection, but for some reason we just seemed out of luck on the offensive. Throughout, the game was fast and rough. In fact, it was reported after the game that Englesbee of Harbor had suffered a broken shoulder. Hard luck. May be he’d be refreshed by a hot sawdust frappe. Of course in every game somebody has to question the referee and in this game he did not seem to be quite strict enough. He only called two personal fouls where from all appearances ten times that number would have been better. The final score was 17 to 7 in Harbor’s favor. JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT-A SHADE THE BEST.

We were beaten by the team that could shoot baskets better than we could! It's true. They were fast, we were fast—by spurts; they had team work, so did we; but they could find the hole in the basket while we were just out of luck. C. II. S. worked the ball up into Erie’s territory repeatedly but couldn’t find that blamed basket (maybe the thing moved? Who knows?). The result of this showed up at the end of the first quarter the score being 8-0 in Erie’s favor. Luck favored us in the second quarter and we got a free toss and held Erie down to one basket, the half ending 10-1. The second half opened with both teams playing fast ball, and the third quarter found C. II. S. richer by 5 points and Erie by 6. The quarter ending 16-6, and then came the excitement of the last quarter and Erie seemed to pick up in their ability to score, they tossing in 13 more points while C. II.

Our handsome crew of basket tossers on Saturday night, January —, journeyed to Harbor with one thought uppermost in their minds to win by all means, but it was “just mean’’ for they were beaten instead. This game, by the way, was only an exhibition, not counting in the county race. The girls played a pretty good game, but did not play the snappy brand of basketball they are capable of, in general, it was a slow game all around, the score at the half being 6-2 in favor of Harbor.

M e had hoped to have a different story to tell concerning this game at Geneva but—well it was a good fast game and our team fought gamely to the end. Some things might be mentioned which could, in a way, affect the losing of the game. The big and outstanding reason was, Mid-year exams week. On account of exams no assembly was held and consequently no “pep rally could be held also on account of the players “C ramming” for exams, they were not all out every night so the regulars did not practice once during the week with all first-string men present. The first quarter opened with a rush, Burdick making the first point for C. II. S. by throwing a foul. Then C. II. S. got a field goal. Next Geneva got a chance to score on a foul and made good. C. H. S. next scored with a field goal which was the end of C. II. S. scoring for this period, but not so with Geneva, for they managed to get two more field goals which tied the score 5 to 5. The second quarter was exciting. First 0. II. S. then Geneva forging ahead by a point or two and the quarter ended 12 to 11 in Geneva’s favor.

Speaking of this basketball game—well, it was just like seeing a mid-winter football game, and from all appearances some of the fellows haven’t lost any skill in taking out interference. The game had just started when Jeff, tallied two baskets. C. II. S. got the next one. Then Jeff, got one field goal and a free throw, and the quarter ended 7 to 2 in Jeff’s favor. C. H. S. tightened up in the second quarter and held Jeff, scoreless, but found time to ring up 6 points for herself, making at the end of the half a score of 8-7 in favor of C. H. S. At this time Jeff, made a kick as to Hawke’s refereeing despite the five fouls called on C. H. S. and only 1 on Jeff. C. H. S. agreed to change and Clyde Smith refereed the remainder of the game.
