TOUCH-FOOTBALL One of the improvements which the Junior High School has enjoyed this year is a turf athletic field at the north end of the Junior High School. The students played touch-football there almost every night before the Christmas vacation. Mr. P. I. Burbeck supervised these games and the students greatly appreciate the help which he gave them. At the first of the year a few games were played with the Grammar School which came out approximately even. During October the machine shop and woodshop classes of the seventh grade played each other, but the games were not very successful because neither team could make any touchdowns. The most peculiar thing about these games Was the fact that the team on the defensive made the yards. On October the twentieth a close battle was staged between the seventh and eighth grades. The eighth grade was victorious by the score of 12-0. The touchdowns were made by passes. The eighth and ninth grades had a game on October the twenty-seventh which resulted in a scoreless tie. The last game of the season was held on Armistice Day between the halves of the varsity game. ln this game the eighth played the ninth grade and the result was another tie.

THE HERMIT Through the forest aisles a hermit lone Comes with his staff todayg Old and bent and hoar is he His hair is long and gray. Old as the trees and older yet, His weary way he trods, His raiment torn and ragged, And stained from grassy sods. Alone in Woodland hut Far from the haunts of men, And there with the elves and pixies He roams the forest glen. The fairies and elves are his helpers, They cheer him when he is blue, And the birds serenade him at nighttime, After the long day is through. A friend to all of the woodfolk, To every bird and heeg Loved by all of the fairies VVho Hit around him in glee. So a hermit's life is a free life When he is the fairies, friend, And he will live happily with them Till the span of his life shall end. ELAINE THOBIPSON '35
