Foothall. wrestling. track. and hasehall had all received their due: now the emcee hoomed out a new roster ol' athletically great. .Xliter years of impotent agita- tion, the squash sqtiad was at last re- ceiving its just recognition. .Xs the memhers ol' the team were away study- ing during the ceremonies, the squash manager received the letters lor them. It had heen a grueling season, hut F' the team had heen ahle to wrest the Northeast Alexandria championship from a seemingly invincihle St. Agnes' crew. Stonewall Iackson Grammar School had proved almost as tormidahle as St. Agnes' in the early matches. hut the li. H. S. hoys' perseverance had proved too much for these immature sectionalists. Although almost all the games played were lulus, the homecom- ing hout with St. citlIl1L'l'lliC'.5 proved the high point of the season. The atmos- phere in the lirigid courts heyond llox- ton was tense as the games ran into extra points, hut no one in the throng dared say anything lest he spoil a serve. The intense strain ol' the game linally caused one of the St. Cfatherineis amazons to sling a racket: her lt. ll. S. toe very chivalrously picked it tip lor her and continued the match with the savior-liaire people have come to identi- ty with the lfpiscopal squash squad. ln spite ol' their aplomh, however. the courtly Nlaroons lost the hitter match to St. l'atherine's 751 luture years are expected to see this situation remedied. .Xlter he had received the letters, the manager paid a touching trihute to the hoys he had heen privileged to serve: the Troians ol the unheated courts who had only their n.itural exiiherance to protect them Irom the Virginia winter. Un this note. the organ let go with Down Yonder, the student hody stirred, and squash was a varsity sport. Rare Manuscript Discovered This ancient manuscript was recent- ly found in the dirt and Model parts which make up the iioor of Mr. l.ong's and Pete Day's workshed. It apparently had heeti huried in the scul- lle of an early change of dynasty, hack when Herod set the policies on this Holt' Hill. Hear ye Tigers and sons of Tigers. lor the day cometh and shalt he when the lN'laroori hordes shalt descend upon thine Orange fortress and shalt verily smite thee and ttirn thine lace even unto thine own red mud. Thou knowest the wrath which hath heen vented on thy name, and thou shalt surely know the consummation of all the toil of the Xlaroon horde, for they wilt verily consume thee in the fury of their onslaught. Prepare thyselves there- fore. to kneel in humhle supplication to the great and mighty soldiers ol lfgypt and .Xlexandriafi King Blob Crowned Today saw one ot the greatest elimi- nation contests in the history oi' sports in our heloved nation. Athletes came from all sections ol' the country to participate in the contest which was to determine King liloh. XVhen the Nlasons heard of the King Bloh Con- test which is sanctioned hy the A. A. U.. N. C. A. A.. A. F. A.. and the House Un-American Activities Committee, they decided to make a thirty-fourth degreei The linals of the gigantic contest were held in the first and still the hest equipped hlohorium-Egypt. There were twelve keen-eyed. eager. and nerv- ous hlohs in the finals. Ozark Ike. who had reportedly quit the comic strips hecause he could not master the game, was going to he on hand. Presi- dent Fisenhower, who had iust finished a rest cure after listening to Ioe Pa- looka light Digger continuously for two weeks, had his radio renovated. decided Cahinet meetings were not much fun anyway. and tuned in. VVhat a matchl The l'irst ten men were eliminated in a short time hy the dashing saves and stahs ol' the two linalists. Harold Pear- shape and the lilack XVeasel. The Final tnatch was a classic down to the last point. Then Harold served the hall with a vicious overcut. The VVeasel returned with an underspin. hut the crazy hall hounced away. Harold Pear- shape was King lilohl Hearthroken. the loser staggered out to drown his sorrows in a hottle of .Xirwick. The contestants' skill was equalled only hy their sportsmanship.
