Little did we think when we were studying India in the Art Club two ytars ago that we'd be seeing it. and sa SGOII. We 'were called at 2 a. ln. and we got np! After a bite to eat, we mounted cur steeds and began a most wonder- ful climb six milt s, along a woo-:led path in the moon- light-each turn in the road brought a new and more distant view and we hoped against hope for a clear day. At the very summit we were rewarded with a perfect view fthe magnilicient snow covered Kinchinjimga range of 17 mountain peaks-which. though not so high, at 50 miles instead of 100 is more beautiful and impressive than Mt. Everest. Way in the distance the Three Sisters, also snow capped, peeked up at us and once or twice we could see faintly the outline of Mt. Everest 222,000 feet high. the very tcp of the world! Sunday is market day in Darjeling and they wefe all there. The market is down several levels below our hotel. Along three sides of a great square runs a low one story bhilding, each ten feet of which is a different shop, where every adornment dear to their hearts can be bought, ankle bracelets of silver, toe and nose rings of gold, colored neck- laces and silver chains on which are lmng either great flat silver charms set in torquoise or overlapping silver pieces. the entire family exchequer-no end of kashmir scarfs-lots of roses or white with magenta borders'-some green-but eveything bright. The center of the square was filled with people wearing this kind of iinery, moving among other merchants who sat on the ground around their wares, grain cr fruit or flowers-while some more enterprising ones car- iled their stores about with them, jangling beads or Jaipur brass bells. I wish there were some way to make- you see, hear, and feel the throb of color in that primitive, holiday, dark skinned crowd, all framed in with the Cryptomeria covered mountains. ---- BATAVIA--LE ROY Batavia came to Le Roy on Thursday, May 20, for the iirst of two games between the two teams. The teams ap- peared very evenly matched and there was a large crowd out to witness the game. At the beginning of the game, Beckwith was on the mound for Batavia with Heineck opposing him. There was no scoring on either side for the first two innings, but in the third, Ile Roy's intield blew up and Batavia scored four I'llIlS. After that fatal inning Batavia scored only one more run while holding Le Roy scoreless. Maloy relieved Heineck in the seventh inning! and pitched well while he nvorked. The pitching was strong on both sides with Batavia's moundsman having the better of the argument! Beckwith allowed Le Roy only two hits, while Batavia scored only one really earned run. The Batavia team accorded their pitcher excellent support, not an error being chalked up against them. Too ,much Beck- with, those iniield errors in the third, and Le Roy's llitiillg weakness in the pint-hes spelled defeat for the locals. However, LeRoy has another chance later in the season and hopes to turn the tables on their rivals.

When lvlltlll I recently visited Le Roy where 111y boyhood days were spe11t. I visited tl1e old swimming lltlll-I. It was just tl1e same as it was twe11ty years ago when I used to swim I spent some of my happiest moments till-'I'P, whether lying on tl1e llilllk looking at tl1e blue sky playing nigger there. baby. quoits, or Slllllil sllcll Lfilllll-'. or indulging in a swim. It llltlkes IIN' feel young again to think of tl1e fun nve l1ad tllltl the pranks we played. I renielnber one of the incidents in particular. There was 0119 l1oy. the bully of tl1e town, wl1c- was always trying.: to play a mean trick on us. Une day. one of our bunch saw him go in SNVlIllllllll9.! alo11e.

We turned his clothes inside out. tied tl1e111 i11 many iltl1'll knots. and saturated them with muddy water from a nearby puddle. We then retreated. to Wzllcll the etfect of our work. He 0111119 out soo11, feeling good after his swim b11t his face. when he sanv his clothes. was too funny to describe. We laughed until we thougrht our sides would split. behause of his queer antirs i11 trying: to untie the k11ots. XVe saw l1inl go 1101116 the back way. looking too ridiculous for 1lI1YIlllIl2f. We always thought he knew wl1o did it but l1e never did anything: about it. To think about it, makes 111e wish I was young: again. Alfred Decker. Room 2-I. Tomorrow To 1l1USf of us tl1e word Ui0lIl0'l'I'0XVu just means another day of drudgxery i11 scl1ool. Each day we come to school to be driven to study things. that will never, do us lilly good. but little do we think tl1at our teacher or 'ttask masters are preparing us for a place ill tl1e world. Why quit school when one reaches tl1e axe of sixteen? More interest should be SIIINVII by tl1e pupils ill the scl1ool and tl1e big opportun- ity otfered tl1e111 by tl1e present school and tl1e new one. For it isn't every Cllllllllllllliy of this size that will go to the expense of providing means of education just to be Illfllell IIUNVII. A few years fI'Ulll IIUXV if one l1asn't an education he will be out of the game entirely. It is for llS to make our if?-lll0l'1'0XVS Vlllllli if we are to IIQCOIIIQ tl1e leaders of this country. Lewis Steverson. The New School The contractors are beginning to get b11sy upon tl1e tl1e new school is built the people of Le Roy yvill be Very proud of it. This school will be located Oll Wolcott street beside the old Art Uollege. It will face the 0-at-ka Creek. lt xvill be larger than tl1e present High School and with 311 of the moderii iinprovenients. Around the school tl1e green lavwn and bushes that will bear brilliantly colored iiowers will greatly improve the appearance of the building. Only tl1e t-Erades will occupy this new school. The Junior and Senior H1311 School will reinain at the present school. Our only regret IS tl1at we will llllf occupy a portion of the wonder- ful new school. L. R. C. Lynn Salisbury ll2lS entered the S-A grade from tl1e Batavia High School. He is surely a great aid to our class. A Doi-otl1y and Marjorie Robinson have also entered the 8-A grade from York. They are a very good addition to our grade. Vharles and Ulayton Ingles Ellld Edward Keenan are 111111111 ot' Mrs. August Fricker of Batavia.
