12 The Scarlet and Gray copy of our annual in the hands of every high school student. If you have not already given your name to the subscription managers do so im- mediately. The time is limited. We must know very soon just what money we may count on. The very least any loyal student can do is to cheerfully hand over his 25c and get this unpre- cedented issue. Will OU boost or will YOU knock? Basket Ball. The basket ball season of N. H. S. has ended with Nelsonvilie winning the last two out of three games. This year we had a better schedule than any previous year, and have play- ed the best teams in the State. The season ended with 8 victories and five defeats. The last three games played are as follows: N. H. S. at Athens. On March 3, N. H. S. went to Athens and won a decisive victory of 30 to 15. Ahens held N. H. S. to a tie the first half 11 to 11. but in the second half they had no show whatever, the second half ending 19 to 4 The Basket Shoot- ing of Love, Aumiller and Howell was good and the guarding of Edington and Kontner was fine.

The Scarlet and Gray II helpful| ind his pleasant, cheerful manner has ever been an encouragement to us. Much of the neatness of the paper is due to Mr. Bartlett. Prin. D. A. Ferre, treasurer of the paper, has been untiring in his efforts to place the “Scarlet and Gray’’ on a firm financial basis. He has spent many hours in arranging the books in a systematic way, besides giving constant encouragement to the staff. Too much praise cannot be tendered our principal, for his indispensible services. Without the help given us by our ad- vertisers, we all know N. H. S. could have no paper. Do you patronize those people who advertise in the “Scarlet and Gray”? Why not? Go to those who solicit your business through the med- ium of our paper and please mention the high school paper when you do go to them. If you do this the business manager's job will be a much easier and pleasanter one. We certainly do ex- tend our most thankful appreciation to the business men who have stood back of us in our work this year. To the high school faculty, who have given us their unceasing encour- agement and helps, we wish to say that their work will not soon be forgot- ten. Alumni, High School subscribers. Business Manager, Contributers, ex- changes who have helped us by their criticisms, we extend to you all our deepest gratitude for any and all help given to us. Any success which the “Scarlet and Gray” has had this year, has been due to the hearty co-operation of all the above mentioned people. And again we say. we thank you. Junior Number. How do you like this, the “Junior” number of the “Scarlet and Gray”? If you do like it tell Clara Pritchard and Katherine Spencer. We are almost tempted to call this issue of the paper a “Co-ed” number. The editor appointed, and placed in full charge of the collection of all material for the April number of the S. andG., the two above m.-ntioned Junior girls. They have proven them- selves deserving of the highest praise. The ads even were solicited by these two enterprising young ladies of the Junior class. The whole class of ’15 have co operated splendidly with these two in the contributing of material, etc. Three cheers for the “Junior” num- ber and the compilers, thereof. An Apology. We deem an apology due the sub 8cribers of the “Scarlet and Gray” for the last or “homestretch” number of this paper. Owing to the very serious illness of the printer the issuance of the paper was delayed for some three weeks. Even then the.condition of Mr. Bart- lett was such;’as would not permit him to work. Consequently a man inexper- ienced in the publishing of a high school paper was necessarily compelled to do the compiling. Some mistakes were made but we ask your kind indulgence for these errors. The Annual. The time is now at hand, when every single N. H. S. student should get right down to work and boost the annual. As has been said before, this is the first time in the history of the Nelsonville high school, that an issue of these proportions has been attempt- ed. Our money is unfortunately tied up in the closed M. M. bank and so every one, none excepted, will be ex- pected to “pitch in” and do his level best to make this annual a financial success. We do not want to fail to place a

The Scarlet and Gray 13 N. H. S. at Deleware The 7th of March N. H. S. played Stivers High of Dayton at Deleware. This game was very fast and interest- ing, N. H. S. not giving up until the last minute of play. The final score ended 28 to 19. LINE UP N. H S. 19 Stivers 28 Love Right Forward Hullinger Aumiller Left Forward Sajornty Howell Center Fenner Edington Right Guard Pallock Kontner Left Gurrd Hollen Field Goals: Love, Aumiller4, Howell 2, Hullinger 3, Sajornty 2, Fenner 3, Hollen 2, Pallock 2. Foul Goals: Aumiller 7, Sajornty 4. N. II. f 3., as is seen by the above last two games, did not bring home the “bacon” from Deleware. However our boys all say they would not have missed attending the state meet for anything. Marietta the unchallenged state champions have only been defeated twice this year. It is quite a notable and praiseworthy fact that N. H. S. was one of those two teams, who could beat this fast team. They were the acknowledged peers of all the teams attending the meet. Three cheers for N. H. S. Basket Ball Team of 1913-1914. Base Ball and Track The fine spring weather we have been having the last two weeks has summoned the Base Ball and Track Enthusiasts out into the open. All aboard for a victorious season in these two branches of athletics. N. H. S. has plenty of promising material and now it is only a question of time and practice. Come out fellow, and boost for the glory of old Nelsonville High. OUR MAIL BAG Dear Editor, Plese tel me wy Royden Lancaster cums too skule so ofen eatin a dill pikel? Yors respectively, I. M. A. Dunce. Answer— We refer you to Rhea Hood- let, Jefferson St. The question requires a personal answer. Dear Editor, Could you please tell me why “Lazy” Edington goes up Fort Street every night and where he goes? This has been puzzling me for some time. Yours truly, A. Gossip. Answer—We very stealthily followed Mr. Edington one evening last week. Our pur posed revelation must have been torseen by this gentleman, for we were gently tapped upon the “bean” with a life sized brick-bat and the next thing we knew the town clock was striking four. Our determination is voiced oy Poe in these words “never- again. ’ Mr. Editor, What is the class color of the “Freshies?” A. Soph. Answer -Look at their actions. In these the color is personified. Mr. Editor, When are the Juniors going to come across with that promised banquet? Answer—The Junior represenitives of the Staff refer you to Mr. Ferree and Mr. Timmons.
