Tllla' fflnfl RION 'l'eunis is veruv inexpensive. lt is not necessary to have uni- forms or a great fleal of equipment. Good halls will last all of the spring: season. One may huy a good tennis racket for as little as three dollars. Of course, one lflilf' pay more, hut except for the cliiterence in longevity and tinish I doubt if ama- teurs eau tell the flitterenee. The court ought to have a lwaek stop hut they are not too expensive, and onee huilt will last in- mleiinitely it' given good eare.

Wiimis S. R.xNpAi,r,. '28 WHEN YOI' AND I WERE YOVNG I wandered today to the school, Freshie, To watch the scene below, The school and the weedy old yard, Freshie, NVhere we hazed you years ago. The paint is gone from the school, Freshie, Where bits of dust always clungg The school flag is waving still, Freshie, As it did when we were young. Freeport is silent and lone, Freshie, Where the young and the gay and the best, In a large brown building of wood, Freshie, Once found a place not of rest. A place where we all used to play, Freshie, And join in the songs that were sung: For we sang just as gay as they, Freshie, When you and I were young. Now we are feeble with age, Freshie, Our steps less sprightly than then: Our faces are wrinkled and worn, Freshie, As I think of those days now and then. They say we are aged and gray, Freshie, The trials of life nearly done, Let us sing of the days that are gone, Freshie, When you and I were young. D. E. HATCH, '28. I4
