32 HAMMOND HIGH HAPPENINGS The shocking score of 15 to 10 Nearly knocked them down. Hammond went to Rensselaer And roasted them up brown, '• By a score of 16 to 11. Then nearly got kicked out of; town. ; And then they met their fifth defeat, In playing Morristown. We read the score boards 12 to 6. With many a sigh and frown. Then they went to Madrid, And thought they'd like a rest. 14 to their 17 Seemed to be their best. They fought their way to the finals, And there they met defeat, They found a worthy foe in Morristown. Whose victory was complete. Success we surely wish you, Team of Scarlet and Brown. Next year we want that silver cup To come to Hammond town. —Irene Baxter. First Medieval Cootie: “It's no fun living in a coat of ar- mor. Second Ancestral Insect: “No, Heaven help a fellow on a knight like this.

THE BASKETBALL GAMES IN VERSE Now, boys and girls, just listen here, And a wondrous tale ITl tell Of how the Hammond Basket Ball boys Have made a record swell. They played the first game here at home Way back in gray November And beat Richville, 22 to 7. Of course, you'll all remember. To Waddington they journey- ed next And met a sad defeat. A score of 6 to 16 points Made the enemy's victory sweet. For their third game they play- ed Heuvelton, And beaten were once more, But this time 16 to 14, Was a somewhat better score. “Revenge is sweet,” they soon found out, For in game number four, They beat the old foe Wad- dington With a 19 to 15 score. And now the “bluest” part of all, A tale that's sad I ween. The Rensselaer Falls team drubbed them well, With a score of 6 to 17. Another drubbing they, receiv- ed. This was beating number four. Morristown came and trimmed them well, 10 to 4 was the final score. Again our boys fought with Heuvelton. 'Twas in their own home town. Their 6 to our 14—the score They looked on with a frown. Then Madrid came to visit us, Only to get beat, 20 to 16 was the score, Dy which they met defeat. We made the long, long jour- ney To Richville one winter's night And drubbed them 14 to 7, Much to our delight. Brier Hill met our players, Of the Scarlet and the Brown.
