There is a large niunber of boys trying out for the team, most of whom are inexperienced, but Mr. Young hopes to field a good team. We will have games with East Corinth, Corinna, Newport, Hartland, and Hampden Academy. This year each player is determined to come out on top. By the time the Microphone reaches you, results of some of the games should be known.

The MICROPHONE 23 We are sorry to lose the cup this year to the Hartland girls, but as we are not losing any of our players we hope to regain it next year. All-Star Game The All-Star Game was played at East Corinth. Two players were chosen from each school to enter the league. Hermon was represented by Marise Philbrook, for- ward, and Alice Sherwood, guard. Hermon vs. Hartland The most exciting game of the year was Hartland against Hermon, at Hermon. At the end of the first and second quarters, Hartland was in the lead by one point. In the third quarter, they gained four points on us. Being cheered on by the clamoring crowd both teams showed fighting spirit. Now ready to go we made the points and tied the score at 24 to 24. SOFTBALL Last year a softball league was formed at Hermon High School for the first time. Due to gas and transportation we played only three games, Hermon winning all three, which entitled us to the cup. We hope to do as well this year.

Wllen The Wfllistle Blows Yesterday, he wrote me a letter, Which I saved to read in bed. I opened it-and this is how it read, When the train whistle blows, We will be togetlier again. I never doubted his word, but asked, When? Today, I think of that letter he wrote me, In my heart there is only dread For the long, lonely life ahead. I remember his words, The thought brings a pain. The whistle has stopped- But still there is rain. I'm not alone in my sorrow you see, For outside God weeps for, and with me.
