Page Twenty-two T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number AQUINAS-LE ROY Aquinas Institute of Rochester came to Le Roy for their return game plotting dire revenge for their early season defeat. They went back to Rochester plotting re- venge for two defeats. The fact. is. they never had a look- in from beginning to end. Le Roy batsmen happened to have on their hitting togs that day and the result was that Manning, on the mound for the Irish, suffered his flrsti de feat in two years. The locals sailed right in from the start with a fine disregard for reputation. At the end of the nine stanzas, Le Roy, had made ten hits and five 1'uns. On the other hand, Maloy had been forcing the Irish batsmen to eat out of his hand. while the infield was right there with the old pep, completing three fast double plays as their share. Mark that one down with a good big X o11 the right side of the ledger. The final score was five to one. ST. J OSEPH'S-LE ROY On thd day following the Aquinas game. Le Roy jour- neyed to Buffalo for a return game with their prep school rivals. Maloy was badly off in form due to the fact that he had pitchedl on the previous day. He couldn't locate the plate and his temporary wildness forced in the' winning runs before he had settled down. The Le Royans were un- able to do any heavy scoring at any time and at the end of the game, tl1e score stood nine to four in Bufalo's favor. lDon't mark that one in the book at all. 1e:A'rAv1,l-I.r1 nor Batavia came to Le Roy for a return game -with high hopes of victory. As events turned out. they were not to be disappointed. 'Ihey started right off in the first inning and bunched enough hits to score two runs. From that time on they never had a chance for a run, but they didp't need 31152 Le Roy batsmen simply didn't have the punch to push over more than one run. We loaded the bases twice but each time the batter was unable 'to produce the needed hit. Both Maloy and Sherman. opposing moundsmen, hurled excellent games and it was hard for either of them to lose. The game was well played throughout as the 2 to 1 score indicates. The Picnic Un May 27. Thursday. to be exact the girls of the basketball squads. accompanied by Coach WVood. and her guest. Miss Mot'abe, journeyed to the Hemlocks. There they had a delightful picnic. Hot dogs, rolls. pickles, doughnuts, tllltl Forti's special pop we1'e among the' good things to eat. Really, the girls. as well as Coach and Miss .xii-t'abe ought to- make good at building fires after the one they finally succeeded in lighting. Did Bronc like the toasted marshm-allows? Ask Luke Welsh, she'll tell you. 'l'iel would, but sl1e didn't have any. Anyway, 'ta good time was had by all.'t Veronica tCapt.5 Mooney '26 The Annual Meet tt'ontinued from Page 19.1 Say. Coach. you've got to tape that thumb now, it's swollen so I ca11't grip the ball. All -right, answered that worthy, getting out his first aid kit. Red winced as the tape was drawn tight on his hand. I reckon I can hold them this inning . said ,Barber as he walked onto the diamond. Beverly's captain gave his approval to thetaped hand and the game proceeded once more. Red was a little wild. walking his first man. He fanned the next man and allowed the following batter to hit a slow grounder, and to be thrown out at first, From the Beverly supporters pealed a mighty yell. Sherman was advancing to the bat. Things looked dark for Logan. At his two previous times at bat he had driven a homer and a triple. Even a double or a single would tie the score for there was one man on. Sherman really deserved a hit, for he had pitched a superb game, And now justi one good smash and the score would be -1-3 for Beverly instead of 3-2 for Logan. He let one strike go by, but he connected with the next one. .For oyer the right field line it went. Foul ballfjyelled tliexpuinpire. Instantly a storm of cries broke forth. .f'You'big rob- ber. Never mind. Sherman, tl1at's only ua sample. Make it good this time, old boy. ' i H' in' '-.sg Un mf.- Barber slowly wound up. The audienceubecame so stillgthat you could have 'heard that proverbial pin drop. Would Sherman hit? Probably he would. And if it went to the left a little! Well, just imagine! With a quick swing, Barber delivered the ball. A black polished streak of a bat flashed thru' the air. There was a sharp crack and-the ball settled nicely into the catcher's glove. Sher- man had strusck out. George Barnard '26 Hi Gene: Do you like to play croquet? Marion: tblushingj No, mama. says its wickitf' Deb: Can you show me some durable neckties?

After our long year of work at school, we ard glad to get out into the great out-of-doors. Here we the beauties of nature and rest our bodies and 1ni11ds. There are a great many activities to enjoy-swiinming, horse back riding. tennis, mountain climbing, etc. The New England states have many line campsg such as Neshobe, Kill Kare, Idlewild, Cory, Allegro, Ossipee and many others. Some of these camps will accommodate a few boys and girls from SB-Dorothy Brust and Marcia Ferguson at Camp Neshobe, and Sam Cochran at Camp Cory. Camp Neshobe is located on Lake Fairlee. South Fairlee, Vermont. It is for girls from the ages of ten to seventeen. Angelo Patri once said regarding camps, Let the children go. Let them go to the mountains and stretch their bodies and minds. Let them have a glimpse of what it means to get close to the earth and know the mother feel of it. Let them get the smell of tl1e forest in their nostrils. There is nothing sweeter, nothing'cleaner. nothing that will stir up liner memories than the smell of moss crushed under foot, the whiff of pine, the clean smell of ferns knee deep beside the trail. the wood smoke of the evening tire curling toward the stars as the happily tired children roll them- selves in their blankets to- sleep on the bed of pine needles that Mother Nature has il99ll spreading for just this occa- sion. Summer in a good camp will repay the dollar cost a thousand times by its priceless joy. Let the boy or girl go to camp. Marcia Ferguson, Room 5 The Origin of Fireworks The fireworks which are so important to our fun on the Fourth of July originated in China as early as the Iifteenth century. They first came into use, not as means of amusement, but for useful purposes. For many years, rockets, Roman candles, and colored lights have been used as signals for vessels at sea. With these, a regular code was planned so that actual messages could be sent. Even in the World War rockets and star shells were used to light up no man's land. Another queer use of fireworks occurred in 1840, when an unarmed American vessel, Independence, cited pirates. Having no other annmmition at hand, the captain finally thought of sending lighted fireworks into the pirates' boat. They were badly burned but they were glad to retreat. The use of fireworks to celebrate na-tional holidays did not become general until the latter part of the nineteenth century. l'nited States now leads the world in their use.
