Sears, Frankel, Greenwald, Levy and l TQ Eastnient had the audacity to call themselves the Ninth Term and V ' C X took their abode in Room 203 with Mr. Nobody as official teacher. Levy, our distinguished Editor-in-Chief of the Carazfel, was a member of QA, but became suddenly inspired and recently left to hold down a real job. Our literary friend, VVilliam J. Robertson, has returned from abroad and visits us occasionally, so between him and Edward A. Sears, this very learned group is plentifully supplied with puns and jokes Cso-calledjf Greenwald's vast amount of knowledge, coupled with Eastment's wide experience in the world tend, together with the influence of the aforementioned Robertson and Sears to give this little gathering an air of dignity and superiority not altogether unlike that which sur- rounded that group of men at whose head was found Sir Roger. Levy is unsur- passed in his knowledge of styles, automobiles and pretty girls. The similarity could be further pursued were there room, but it surely is very obvious to all. A Printing is a rather unique pastimeg that is probably why it appealed to these fellows. Eastment has arrived at that stage where he must wear an apron and no one is allowed to touch the press in the absence of Sears-who, by the way, is the champion checker-player of QA. Evidently the class motto is, Loaf, play and be happy, for to-morrow we work. X 27 'W

FOREST GRANT, Coach AST year the team was the champion of Greater New York High Schools. This year we also hope to take away the premier honors. VV ith the following vets back and ready to work hard, how can we help feeling optimistic? Those that played on the team last year and are back are Billy Schaefer, our Capf'g Sapersteing Becky Holzg and Manning. Besides these, there is a large string of new men, too numerous to mention, who are making good. Under the able coaching of Mr. Grant the fellows have practised faithfully. Although the first game was a ninth inning victory for our opponents, Passaic, the coach was well satisfied with the outcome, as it was but a practice game and showed up the fellows. The game was a close one, as the score shows, 6-5, in favor of the Jersey boys. The next game, which was against Adelphi, resulted in a 7-7 tie. The Pony Battery, -Archibald and Galwey,-administered a 7-0 defeat to Hackensack in a practice game. VV e overwhelmed Boys' High on the eleventh of April, the same battery being used. Newtown and Bryant defeated us, the former by 20-Io and the latter by II-7. The game against Columbia, 1915, was called on account of rain, after three and a half innings had been played, our opponents being in the lead at the time. Mackenzie ,defeated us at Dobb's Fei'ry-on-the-Hudson by the score of 7-2. The game against Townsend Harris was well played, but resulted in favor of our opponents, the score being 4-I. The squad consisted of : Schaefer, Captaing Beckg Sapersteing Archi- baldg Holzg Jarrett, Wlialeiiz Manning, Poole, Bleniog Wfaterousg and Kelly. 29
