unior School History HERE were so many junior School boys on hand last fall that football flourished without any nee of challenging teams of other schools. The two clubs that were formed under Mr. Marcy and Nfr. Van Syckel put teams in the field that played each other almost every day. If occasionally the sport lagged a bit Mr. Marcy was sure to change all that, waving his stick in the air and sailing his hat across the held until even Mat Blunt woke up and made a tackle, or little Freddie dove between- the legs of George McElroy and dropped on the ball, and the crowd turned their backs on the first team and watched awhile. But when the days had gotten too cold for football and it was pleasanter to spend the late afternoon indoors, the Book Club was started. Five o'clock on Monday and Thursday afternoons would find a fire crackling on the grate, a half-circle of boys drinking chocolate and listening to a couple of chapters of H Bob, Son of Battle, or themselves reading the tragedy of Julius C zesar, with john Duncan doing his best to qualify as the glean and hungry Cassius. Albert Shaw spoke for the noble Brutusf' and t'Swifty lN1cCreery, the president of the club, made Caesar seem as ambitious as Brutus thought him. These meetings usually broke up hurriedly when Harry Kingsland announced that it was six o'clock and he would be late for dinner. Honest Harry, what was it you dreaded so-the tardy mark or, perchance, no soup? Of course, winter brought snow, and snow makes excellent ammunition with which to attack weary, worried, blockade runners, who drove past with their loads of groceries and baskets of red, raw beef-veritable contraband of war. To be sure, they all got by in the end, but often not without giving battle. Cart whips really hurt more than snowballs, and we cannot boast much of the noble valor displayed by Baldwin Spilman, Fred Schuyler, and all the others when the drivers gave chase with their whips, though Freddie Marcy did stand to his guns and fearlessly face the beefy-cheeked giant-killer who came charging from off the brewer's wagon. Get b k n th Wa on O Son of the Cyclops' that is the smile that does not come off for fear of thy ilk, thee ac upo y g , , this is no man who faces thee, to be sure, but no terror-driven coward, either, his is the courage of Ulysses, cl and he fears thee not. ' f ' ' d l Thus do the busy days of school pass, and the weary hours of study are enlivened by play time an p ay- d ' l learn many mates, and as we endeavor to learn some facts out of books, we unconsciously an unceasing y ways and many sides of character from the boys of the junior School-all jolly good fellows. 44 Btu-. ll' Bunn, I Butvom Bursar, I Bxfnsv., 1 Cow, U Cowon, Cnuii, 'l Dimmu Dvmm Euswol Fnuzs GKAVE limos!
