THE BLUE AND GOLD 23 GIRCZUS i TO THE INTERLINEAR PONY b 0 hack-neyeol little animal of vitiatecl fame! 0 sympathetic helper of the helpless and' the lame! H ow often have you carried on your bent, ambiguous back The gmbidextrous student who avoids the narrow track. H ow often, also, have you swum the river Failure through With well-intentionecl persons who are prone to lean on you. E You knowing little creature with your too prosaic face, You do your baleful duty with a soft, clafrwlestine pace, Not knowing whom corrupting, whom obeying unaware, But prancingyour improper path with calculated care. Oh, who will see your error and reform you, cro-okecl crony, That men may no more cavil at the Interlinear Pony ? J AMES M. ARNSTINE, P. G. L ALUMNI NOTES.

22 . EAST HIGH SCHOOL Vitantonio and Struggles remained of the team of the previous year. It remained for Coach Morris to build up a. team from green material, and to hinder him further, Struggles played in only three games dur- ing the season. The team, when finally chosen, showed a. defense which was sec- ond to none in the city. East Tech was the only team to score a touchdown against our boys during the entire season. The offense was not powerful, for thebacktield was very light. East opened theiseason at Akron, and defeated Akron VVest when a blocked punt was turned into a touchdown by one of our linesmen. Then came The Battle in the Mud against VVest Tech, ua scoreless tie re- sulting. Two points was enough to trim South in our next game. Civiletto's drop- kicking ability for the second successive year enabled Central to defeat its ancient foe. . University 's highly-tooted team was held at bay at all times, and, despite the fact that the battle was scoreless, East may be proud to have upset the dope so completely. Lincoln was defeated next, and then Glen- ville held East to another scoreless tie. East Tech handed our team its second and worst defeat of the year, and in the final game West enabled East's team to call them- selves the scoreless-tie-wonders again. East Tech won the Senate championship and had the most representatives on the All-Scholastic team. Wennerstrom, East guard, was placed on the All-Scholastic second team. Sweaters were awarded to Blecker, Wennerstrom, Davidson, Lamp- recht, Noble, King, Lindner, Vitantonio, Cooney, Graham, D 'Errico, Manager Blake, and to Heller and Doig, who, although in-' eligible, reported every night and gave the coach considerable help. Heller was elected captain of the 1918 team. Shortly after the close of the football sea- son the call for candidates for the basket- ball team was sent. No veterans reported, graduation and ineligibility being the re- sponsible sources. Our team, greatly changed after February, secured a fifty- fifty break for the season. Lincoln, NVest Tech, South, University, and Shaw went down to defeat at our hands, while Central, East Tech, Commerce, Glenville, and West conquered Coach Morris' proteges. The championship of the Senate was not definitely decided, for East Tech and Cen- tral were tied for the lead, each having suffered one defeat. In accordance with the times when everyone is conserving, no sweaters were given to the players, but Sheppard, Gattozzie, Blecker, Lamprecht, Capt. Wennerstroin, and Sifling received letters. Track is back again to stay. In the Senate track meet held on May 18, East finished fifth. Fifteen points were scored, McCreary winning iirst place in the high jump. Doig, Sheppard, and Price also won places. In looking back over the year's athletic record, we read of no remarkable feats, but we feel sure. that East 's spirit is still as unconquerable as ever, and we can onlv hope that next year will see some champion- ship teams at East.

24 EAST HIGH SCHOOL COME ON, SAMMY. CAir4March of the Men of Harleehj. By H. Schulte. n , Colne on, Sammy, get the Kaiser! That 's the task we 'd have you try, sir, That 's why we have sent you over, You must see it through. ' VVeary hearts are turning, Eagerly so with yearning, To driye the Hun From conquests won, And make him yield his plunder. Forward. right and honor eallyoug Let no Hunuish foe appall you! Let no autocrat enthrall you! Fight for freedom now! Forward, Sammy, France is calling, Belgium 's homes and churches falling, 'Woman's honor. fate of childhood, Hear their sad appeal! Anxious hearts are beating, For the time of meeting, When freemenis guns Shall conquer Huns, For freedom, right and honor. Forward, then, your duty calls you, Let no Hunnish foe appall you! Let no autocrat enthrall you! Fight for freedom now! She smiles, O, how she smiles, and all The world is filled with lightg She laughs-'tis like a bird's sweet call, In meadows fair and bright. She weeps-the world is cold and gray, Rain clouds shut out the view: V She sings-I softly steal away And wait till she gets through.
