BASK ETBALI The Coplay High School Basketball team has completed the most strenuous season and although most of the games were lost, the Coplay High School boys did not lose in an unfair way but always after a fierce struggle and a fair game. The C. H. S. had not been represented in basketball since Coach Abernathy had charge of the squad. Basketball was encouraged again, however, this year, by Coach Wink and also Coach Doily, who put forth a great deal of effort and thus placed a team on the fit or which represented the C. II. S. Practice was held in the Holy Trinity Church gymnasium at Northampton, due to the lack of a gymnasium in our town. The lineup:— P. Charles Gernerd F. George Gernerd G. Louis Schaadt (Capt.) G. R. Lilly G. R. Wehr — S. Anthony — X. Morgan — L. Reinhart — II. Hotter The most important game of the season was played at Whitehall against the strong Whitehall II. S. quintet.

HUMOR Where can a man buy a cap for his knee? Or a key to the lock of his hair? Can his eyes he called an academy, Because of the pupils there? In the crown of his head — what gems are found? Who travels the bridge of his nose? Can he use, while shingling the roof of his house The nails on the end of his toes? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail ? If so, what did he do? IIow does he sharpen his shoulder blades? I 'll be hanged if I know, do you ? Can lie sit in the shade of the palm of his hand? Or beat the drum of his ear? Does the calf of his leg eat the corn of his toe? If so, why not grow corn on his ear? Do ships have eyes when they go to sea? Are there springs in the ocean’s bed? Does the jolly tar flow from a tree? Does a river lose its head? Are fishes crazy when they go insane? Can an old hen sing her lay? Can you bring relief to a window pane? Or mend the break of day? What sort of a vegetable is a policeman’s beat? Is a newspaper white when it's read? Is a baker broke when lie’s making dough ? Is an undertaker’s business dead? Would a wall-paper store make a good hotel? Because of the boarders there? Would you paint a rabbit on a bald man’s head, Just to give him a hit of hare? Would you pay a policeman with silver coins? For nickel’s aren’t made for coppers, If a grass widow married a grass widower— Would their children be grasshoppers? If you ate a square meal, would the corners hurt? Can you dig with the ace of spades? Would you throw a rope to a drowning lemon? Just to give a lemonade?
