The COM PASS NORTHaSPORTS We started our athletics this year by fev- erish practice for the baseball game, which was to come oilr later in the fall. Every one expected the eighth grade to win, but we sevenths improved and had hopes of winning ourselves. At last the fateful day arrived. Our team had the nrst inning and oh! how set we were on winning that game! Unfor- tunately, so were the eighths, for they won with a score slightly larger than ours Gour- teen to ninel. The captain-ball season opened soon after Thanksgiving. We soon found, to our sor- row, that faculty meetings often occurred on the days we wished to practice. We man- aged to get in quite a few practices, however, and were ready for the fray when the games were played. There were three games, all of which the eighths won. The iirst score -was 13 to 0, the second 13 to 1. and the third was 14 to 0. Despite defeat we hope to put up a better showing next time El: SOUTH-SOCIETY On February 14 a group of happy girls gathered in the H ym . Every one was in the best of spirits, and took scuffed shoes as a matter of course when dancing. When the command was given to form a semi-circle, there was a general stampede. Calls of thanks and exclamation's of joy came next when the valentines were passed out. Both classes had ornamented boxes for the occa- sion. We, the Seventh grade, had also asked the teachers and most of them came. Re- freshments were then announced, and it was really a wonder that anyone got anything at all. No party seems complete without a favor dance, and when each Seventh grade girl presented an Eighth grade girl with a red cap on which odd hgures were fastened, every one agreed that they were having a jolly time. To end up the part, a ugrand right and left took place. The third and last time was over, and with a final cheer for Miss Boley, Miss Ferebee, and Miss Pease, who had helped to make the party a success. the girls left, a happy but rather footsore group. EASTaEDITORIAL POOR SNOWDRIFT! On the first of April a fierce battle raged behind the school. A drift directly in front of the back doors was the battle ground, and with the Sevenths on top and the Eighths at the bottom, snowballs flew rapidly about. It is true that the grades, in the course of the encounter, often changed places. When the bell rang, a crowd of white-coated girls trooped in. exchanging a snowball or so on the way; leaving the drift to find parts of itself on the doors, fence and shed, the greater part to melt inside the building. BLUE AND GOLD One afternoon a meeting was hastily called to decide on class colors. We thought ballot voting the best. so with many color combina- tions on the board, we started out. Vote one showed maroon and gold against blue and gold. Once more we voted, and. as most everyone knows, blue and gold won. Our ribbons were secured, and the girls went to the game with beating hearts. Although we lost, we hope to have many a victory, for Blue and Gold in the future. ht: WESTaJOKEs Freshman Ito the librarianl: Could I take Lorna Doone out over the week- end?
