BLUE AND WHITE 31 Dorothy Blade spent the week-end of the 23rd at Frances Davies', on the Welsh Hills Road. Elizabeth Hale went to Columbus shop- ping, Wednesday, the 19th, with her sister and mother. Russel Pierson spent Thursday, the 20th, in Columbus. SENIORS IN ATHLETICS The Class of '22, has done her share to- ward placing G. H. S. on the map athletic- ally. Mitchell has been the football teamis sta-lwart for four years. Lacock holds three letters in this sport as a testimonial to what he has done. Megaw has two, and Dumm and Warner each have one. In basket ball Mitchell and Lacock have both been members of the team for two years. Before finishing we should say a word about the manager of our football and basketball team, Charley Pierson. Charley is a man who has stayed by the team bet- ter tha-n some of the players. He has been an efficient and able manager, and has never kicked at the amount of work he was called upon to do. Charley knows the school appreciates his efforts. Granvil e has organized a baseball team and is getting some practice. The infield ond outfield look good, and the only weak- ness lies in the hitting ability. This, how- ever, may improve. Two practice games have been played with the Academy. One was a 7 to 3 win for them and the other resulted in a 3 to 3 tie which goes to show that Granville has a fair team. So far no games have been scheduled. LIFE The moon was full, the clouds were light, A breeze did gently blow: It fa-nned the cheek of a youth who cried, O Mary, I love you so! The clouds passed on, the moon shone bright, The breeze more softly blew: It touched the hair of a maid who sighed, Pm happier than I knew! The years sped on, life's tide ran high, With sorrows sometimes rife: Which wrinkled the brow of a man who said, O Mary, my precious wife! A The moon is at its full once more, And stars are in the sky, Two -feeble forms are bent in prayer,- Our love can never die!

L 30 BLUE AND WHITE with them on the State University drive, it might be interesting for us to go with them and see how a group of country folks act when they come to a city to see the wonders collected in such ay place. Their first visit is to the University Archaeological Museum. Here they go into a room of antiques in general and look with awe-struck wonder on a vast array of an- cient weapons, armor, clothing and money. In two other rooms they are amazed by the enumerable collection of stone weapons and implements both of the ca-ve man and of the lndian. Here, too, they are able to see the skulls of their ancient ancestors, and, by other skulls, trace evolution to the man of the present day. ln the fourth room the first signs of civilization are seen in the shape or the ancient printing press, spin- ning wheel, plow, and numerous other rel- ics of our country's youth. From here we follow them in their hasty Hight to the geological museum. Ga-sps of wonder and sighs of disbelief break from their lips as they enter the door and gaze upon the huge fossil remains of the pre- lnstoric mastodon and its two accomplices. 'lhen the petrified shrubbery and rock in- tegration becomes the subject of their wonder. But the strain of such phenomena soon tells on the inexperienced students and a relazg is provided by the instructors in visit- inglthe stadium, being built at the present time. While here a whistle blew and, as all the workmen begin a wild race to av place of feasting, the little company of sight-seers begin to feel and inward emotion calling thtnh to follow, and dinner becomes the aim or a . After duly sustaining themselves the company lead us to the State Penitentiary, where, with the guards' sanction, we stay with the students and visit all departments of the institution. They are shown the as- sembly room and the electric chair, they hear those, sentenced to death, singing The Old-Time Religion, they are taken through the cells, school, wool preparing and weav- ing factory, cotton cleaning and preparing factory, number plate factory, and even hear the orchestra play and see the base- ball team. Many seem very favorably im- pressed with the place, while others are ready to leave with the instructors. From the penitentiary, they go to the State Hospital for the Infirm. The doctor of this institution leads the way to the dance hall where he spends some time in giving the statistics of the surrounding populace. Then we go with our friends through several wards, the dining-room, kitchen and the infirm building, everywhere shedding tears and joining in the horror that the young group possesses. Again in the open air, it is decided that time prevents further exploration and I am forced to say good-bye to my friends happy in their day's experience. PA RENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION On Monday evening, April 17, the second regular meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association was held in school building. The following program was given: Auditorium .............................. John Sl Graham Library ,.,,,.,...,........,.................... W. A. Holmes Auditorium, Athletics and Gymnasium W. J. Livingston Community Center .......... Mrs. M. E. Stickney School Plant .............................. A. D. St. Clair Granges and Farm Bureau ........ Wilkin Jones Red Cross ................................ Mrs. F. A. Ray Business Men's Organization .... H. E. Lamson General discussion of all questions. At this meeting Mr. Holmes made public the gift of Mrs. White of her old homestead on Broadway as a site for the future library building . Mr. J. S. Jones also announced his gift of 310,000 to be used in building the library building and 35,000 to be used toward 'the building of a community center. SENIOR NEWS Mayme Zetta Jackson attended a birth- dayhparty at Wilma McLees' Friday, March 30t . George Wolfe spent the week-end of April 7-10 in Johnstown, Ohio. Mary Chesshire spent spring vacation at Bucyrus. Thelma Wright was entertained on Sun- day, April 16, at Thurston. Oh, you feed! Talk about eats-did we have them? Just ask Miss Greene--every- thing from olives to maple sugar cakes. Miss Courtright certainly was glad she didn't have to teach that dumb Civics class but said that she was sorry she had eaten her breakfast. Never mind, we'll warn you the next time we have such a feed. Bernice Welsh spent Sunday, April 16, at Pataskala. Kathrine Rohrer attended the Shriners' Circus at Columbus with her family. Coy Megaw spent spring vacation work- ing at Mr. Duerr's green-house. Rah! Rah! Seniors! even if we didn't take any prizes this year, we certanily showed pep. On the 21st everyone was surprised to find the 1922 banner Hoating on top of the school house and even the janitor had a hard time getting it down. Cheer up, we can't expect to take the prize every year so we might as well give the others a chance.
