Humor ' K 'fs ' - , km 1 Q .Q - Rdiiffl The Football Season .ff flwz fp' Mi' Hlllllbl' Dr,m11'l1m'11t The main trouble with our football season was that we didn't have enough points. As a rule the goal was too far removed from us. Had we been going the other way we could have made more touchdowns because of the nearness of this goal. Another difficulty was the fact that we were tackled before we got far enough to gain any yards. They just wouldn't wait. It also seemed as though most of the boys got tired before the game ended. Every time they saw a dry spot they wanted to sit clown. It looks as if the spring fever was a permanent disease with them. The majority of the players wanted to go home to supper during the intermission at the half. It seems that the only reason some of the players went out of town to games was for the ride. During these trips it was always a favorite sport to g'uess by how large a score we would be defeated. The guesses were written on the windows of the bus and after the game the closest guesser won. It has been rumored that some even guessed as high as 125 for some of the games. On the way home it was always a great consolation to think how much worse it might have been. The only reason the players dressed for the home games was to get into the game free of Charge. We had a Ch2lllC'3 to win one game if they would have stopped when we were ahead. One of the great handicaps we came up against was that the opponents always had as many men on the field as we did. According to the law of averages fifty percent must be losers and we were that fifty percent every time. Smythe and Cornell. I Page nm' lzunflrcd svrcn

steadg Ray Manix, Roger Colbyg Maurice Smith, Charles, the chauffeur, Regina Schreel, Annie, the maid. Miss Lillian Brauch directed the play. As a special number of the Lyceum course thi'ee plays were given with selections on the organ, violin and Xylophone. The first play was The Turtle Dove , a Chinese fantasy depicting the legend of the Willow Pattern Plate. Dorothy Metzcar, Mary Brown, Alice Wheeler, and Grace Kagy had the leading roles. The second play was Suicide , a symmetrical absurdity in one act, by Conrad Seiler. The cast included Dorotha Hamilton as the girl, Ray Manix as the man, and Maurice Smith as the policeman. The last play was Crime , a satire in one act, also by Conrad Seiler, and con- sisted of Jack Cornell as the journalist, and Leroy Alexander as the crook. These plays were under the direction of Miss Lillian Branch who was aided by Miss Bier in the decorating of the stage. By the assistance of Mr. Thomas a musical program was also pre- sented. Donald Plessinger gave an excellent Xylophone solo: and Roberta Bayman and Junior Metcalfe showed their talent by duets on the violin. Westerfield's piano store donated, for the evening, an electrola which en- tertained the audience between acts.
