30 HI-TIMES Vi es? SENIOR PARTY The Annual Senior Party, the first social function to be held after the ban on school parties was lifted, was held in the High School on Friday evening, December 3. We received the impression from those in attendance that this was the best party that has ever been given in halls High, for from the first number on the program to the Home Waltz” everything went along smoothly. The program opened with a humorous read- ing by Helen Smith, followed by a saxophone solo by Fdgar Patten, poems by Margaret Jamwnn and a dassprophecy by Ifl;urebe-H-ar-- r rington. which told us our various stations in 1950. After these numbers we heard from our Locker Room Quartette, in a series of numbers from “Sweet Adeline' to “Show Me The Way to Go Home. The boys sang from behind closed curtains. Then Virginia Carroll entertained with a reading, after which Vernon Robinette and Gordon Eldridge played a saxophone duet, the music being arranged by the latter. Follow- ing that Louise Flickinger gave an interesting parody on Hamlet’s Soliloquy. T he climax of the entire program was a fifteen-minute vaudeville act, arranged and played by Vyra Marria and Harold Hunter. Needless to say this number went over big. as Vyra and Harold displayed clever ability in putting their “lines” across. After this the Grand March to the Gym was held, in which the boys found their part- ners by means of numbers given out at the door. —the Qm everyone pro- ceeded to fill up their dance programs bv ask- ing the girls for dances. Peppy dance music was furnished by “Don Vail’s Serenaders,” and during an intermission a delicious lunch- eon was brought in and served by our li- brarian. Miss Templar. Of course everyone hates to hear the or- chestra play the “Home Waltz,” but most of us departed for our respective homes with that satisfied feeling which comes after one has attended a successful party. “THE HOME-COMING DANCE” The Home-Coming was very successful. The speeches in the first part of the program were models of oratory, and we would all do well to practice up for just such occasions. Some of the boys were a little more bashful than they are at home, but a few of them got courage and asked the girls for dances. The dancing passed the censors, but many feet pro- tested for several days. Everyone made him- self at home. No one was afraid to take all the cider he wanted, and the wafers didn’t lose out in the popularity contest. The “Home Waltz” finally played, as it al- ways does, just when everyone is enthusiastic enough to dance—well, at least one more Fox Trot.” Hut there has to be an end to everything, so we said goodbye to everyone we wouldn’t see until next “Home-Coming.” grabbed those whom we were to see awhile longer, and departed wishing for many more “Home-Coming Dances.” THE JUNIOR PARTY The Junior Party, the second of the class parties to be held this semester, took place on the evening of Friday. December 10, and was a decided success. Taking their example from the Seniors, who had given a very suc- cessful party the previous week, the Juniors all got into the spirit of their own party and made it equally successful. The party started with a presentation of the playlet, “Y, Y, Y,” in the Auditorium. This was a very welcome and pleasing de- parture from the usual custom of presenting a program of varied numbers. The playlet was well prepared, and excellently given. After its presentation, everyone went to the Gym- nasium, and danced until the strains of the Home Waltz announced the close of the party. With its last notes still lingering in their memories, the Juniors departed for their re- spective homes, with the fervent wish that their next party might be as successful as this one had been.

BOYS’ BASKET BALL The Black and Gold Basketeers went through what is considered a fair season dur- ing the year of 1926. starting with Ravenna on January 8, and finishing with the Alumni on March 19. They won six, and lost ten games, giving them a percentage of .375 for the season. However, that percentage does not seem so small in consideration of the fact that, of the ten games lost, six were lost by one, two, three, or four points, one was lost by six- points, two by ten points, and one by twelve points. When one considers that, in Basket Ball, it is not at all disgraceful to lose by as much as ten points. Falls Hi’s record seems to become a great deal better. On top of that, place the fact that our opponents scored 348 points to our 318, giving them only 30 points more than we have, or less than two points more than we had per game, and the results of last season become less and less un- satisfactory. On the whole, after consider- ing all these facts, the season is very success- ful. At any rate, the Falls High Student Body is very well satisfied with it. The season opened on Jan. 8 with a defeat by Ravenna High, 22 to 19. The following week the Kenmorc quintet handed us another defeat 17-13. In this game, we lost the serv- ices of a regular guard, Greenwood. 1 he following night, January 16 we met the strong Barberton Hi five on our own floor and again lost 21-11. However, on Jan. 22, the Falls aggregation took a close game from Kent State 14-13. The next night they followed it up with a victory over Wadsworth 22-13. On January 29, Kent Roosevelt defeated us in a heart-breaking game, 27-26. Bedford took another the following week, almost as close. 26-24. 'Flic next week. Ravenna took their second victory of the season over us 22-16. The following night Alliance gave us the worst defeat of our entire season 27-15. The next week, on Fell. 19, we evened the score with Kenmore by defeating their team 26-20. File next week we again defeated Kent State, this time 22-18. The following evening. Feb. 27, we rose to the greatest heights of the en- tire season when we defeated Akron North in a close, hard-fought battle, 27-26. 1 he next Tuesday March 2, Kent Roosevelt bare- ly managed to take another victory over us 22-20. 'Fhe following Saturday March 6, we fell before Youngstown South. 19-9, in the North Eastern Ohio Basket-ball 1 ourna- ment. The next Tuesday Bedford again nosed us out in a hard-fought battle 30-28. How- ever, we closed the season by taking a close game over the alumni, 26-25, on March 19. Of the players, six received letters. Among these were Captain Hagerdon, Center and Guard; Carl Robey, Center; Clarence Cum- mings, Forward; Ralph Smith, Forward; Leonard Walker, Guard ; and Robert Deitzig, Guard and James German. Manager. Of these men, Cummings is the only one to return for this year’s season. BASKETBALL BANQUET 'Fhe Falls Hi 1926 Basketball Season made its official close on the evening of Tuesday. March 30, when the Basketball Banquet took place. It was held at Spindler’s Inn, and needless to say, was very successful. Naturally enough, edification of food was the matter of chief interest during the early part of the evening. This was followed by a number of interesting humorous talks. Let- ters were then presented to the boys by Mr. Yost, and to the girls by Miss Forsythe.
