F A A SCHOOL LYRIC CAIVIOUFLAGE I've watched her in her casement As she whiled the hours away, I've watched her as she roamed the fields For many miles away. I've smiled at her and she's smiled back, As many girls will do. She smiled, I'll ne'er forget that smile, It thrilled me thru and thru. I've watched her with her sister As they frolic on the green, A prettier sight I never saw- It never could be seen. To talk with her I ventured once: Your sister plays like wild. She looked at me, and then replied: Why, that's my youngest child. H. P. K. OLD NEW YORK TOWN As I sit here in my study And I contemplate some scheme, And my pipe is glowing ruddy And 1,111 in a semi-dream, Then my mind drifts far from Milford As I don my dressing gown, And I wonder what is going on In good old New York town. I Wonder what is going on In good old New York town, If the boys are at the Plaza Or if they've made the roun'g And if they've gone to Rector's, And if they're up or down, As I sit here in my study Thinking of old New York town.

THLETICS l-lli football season of IQI9 began in the midst of -cliflicul-ties, becausetof the late approval by the faculty of football, delay in securing uniforms and difficulties in arranging a satisfactory -schedule. Despite these handicaps, hye games xyere played, including Hotchkiss, Xale Freshmen, and Roxbury, Milfordls old riyal. ? 2 Nearly the whole school body turned out for the game at Cheshire and the livehest interest was shown in this very hotly contested battle. The fates were against the local team, but the score, I3-7, does not in any way indicate the enthusiasm shown during the play. The team as a whole showed remarkable fighting spirit, fine team work and good sportsmanship. Outstanding features were Oed's playing, O'Byrne's forty-yard run, Savagels line play-the Work of the entire line was excellent. , . Basketball opened with a squad of eighteen men under the direction of Coach Rahni. The team was handicapped by limited space in the small hall in Gulf Street, but, despite this obstacle, in the nine games played, our team was victorious, in four. Next year, withuprospects for more commodious quarters, the chances for greater enthusiasm and success will be largely increased. The athletic season is about to close in a satisfactory manner, judged by the talent and enthusiasm shown by the baseball squad. At least ten games have been scheduled, some with the best preparatory schools in the state and the outlook for championship of the state is bright. To date, April 19th, no games have been played, the rain interfering with the contest set for April 17th at Pawling. Among the teams scheduled are Pomfret, Yale 2nd, and a tentative date with Andover. , ' 74
