30 SOMANHIS them six points. Both extra. points were miss- ed by narrow margins. From this point on the two teams were very evenly matched, neither team receiving an advantage. SPORTS BRIEF The football team did not have a success- ful season as far as games won and lost are concerned. However, this year's team was comprised mostly of members from the three lower classes, this will help in building up next year's team. Squatrito was the outstanding performer, scoring all but three of the touchdowns made during the year. Squat is a triple threat back, one of the best in the league, but the interferance received from the backfleld and ends helped in his offensive work. Coach Clark has the usual problem of building a basketball team up to the standard produced at M. H. S. He will have six veter- ans around which to build a winning combin- ation. These boys are Turkington, Tierney, Smith, O'Leary, Squatrito and McCormick. He will also be well supplied with reserve mater- ial. Some of the candidates who have showed promise are McHale, Lerch, Hedlund, Kerr, Fraser and Werner. , There are nfteen games on this year's schedule which opens December 5th when we entertain East Hartford here. The swimming team is hard at work in the effort to be ready for the opening meet. This team will also be backed up by veterans, namely, Captain Joslin, Lithwinski, Stephens, Davis and Ruddell. They are working hard for the initial meet. The aquadlc squad won the championship for the third time and obtained permanent possession of the trophy last season. A FEW HINTS T0 THE FANS 1. Fight for your team and they'll iight for you. 2. Have coniidence in them and they'll have it themselves. 3. Do your best, and they'll do theirs. 4. Cheer everybody, jeer nobody. 5. Treat your visitors as guests, not as con- tageous diseases. U 6. In excitement throw no acorns or soda bot- tles. 7. Cheer the losers, as well as us winners. S. Vennart TWELVE YARDS TO GO Fourth down is now comin' And twelve yards to go, Two minutes to win in, The captain picks Joe. Third number, he takes it Around the left end, With effort he makes it And glory for him. For Joe made the touchdown And I cleared the wayg Though rivals I knocked down, 'Course JOE won the day.

cxciff NGE A FAIR EXCHANGE-- HERE AND EVERYWHERE One of the nrst exchanges to reach us this year was the Senior W. H. S. from Wester- ly, Rhode Island. We were pleased to renew our acquaintance with this school whose splendid paper we enjoyed so much last year. Everyone knows the saying, Great minds run in the same channel -It seems that two of the 'llnest papers on our list think alike. One, the Blue and Gold , Malden, Mass., in whose publication we found an interesting article On Doing Your Own Homework. Then from The Racquet, Portland, Maine, we found the following: IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY 'A friend of mine once said to me, A plan of mine you ought to try- Depend upon your neighbor bright, And steal his stuff, you'll get by! 'So on a student I did spy, And for a while this plan proved Une: It gave me time to run and play And set to rest these brains of mine. 'But of a sudden stop my rise, And sharp and sad was my descent, There came a. testg to my surprise The other fellow was absentl' . The city of ours, Willimantlc, has an extremely well-conducted school paper. Each department is complete and well organized. Of special in- terest ls the department called the Watch Tower . , b x Wyndonian, from that athletic rival Welcome Newcomers-The Southern states have evidently heard of our high school be- cause we received two splendid papers from 'way down south. They are: Mlssemma , from the Washington Seminary, Atlanta, Georgia and Shreveport Hi Life , Shreveport Louisiana. Another very interesting and amusing paper was the Ohon Life from Cambridge, Mass. BORROWED GRINS MIND ABSENT Prof. I forgot my umbrella this morning, dear. Wife: How did you remember that you had forgotten lt? Prof. Well, I missed it when I raised my hand to close it after the rain stopped. b HORSE POWER Do you know how to fund the horse power of a. car? uNon Lift the hood and count the plugs. Q. What's worse than a loose bolt in a Ford? , A. A tight nut. FRESHMAN GREETINGS First week-Hello, men! Christmas-Howdy! Semester-Hello! Easter-Lo! May-Ugh! Father- I thought a night club was the very last place a daughter of mine would go to. Daughter- It usually ls, father.
