As Miss Shellaby's crew again weighed anchor and launched upon the sea of journalism, they were completely unaware that they were being watched by Secret Agent X. With calm delibera- tion he set down in his little black book the following report: ' Editor Overbeck compliments Bud Sylba and Ed Seatena, cartoonists supreme, upon their brilliant work this year. F. Carlberg and J. Wllite go into a huddle in the corner to discuss their sports column, while A. Conrad is engrossed in her work 011 a new cover. E. Aubele and R. Kauffman make such a racket on their noiseless WJ typewriters that D. Engle, who is trying to balance the books, screams for mercy! Absent from the room at the time are B. Duden, in charge of news and A. Kovel, feature editor. These two are out in search of those spicy and interesting articles which so please the public. 9 , Q 9 D F . -ngfe H, 14 4 .

Hope in Basketball Deferred This season left everyone, including the team, with that hollow sensation in the region of' the stomach. which psychologists call dis- appointmentg however, clisapointment does not really define this sensation. In the pre-season games the team seemed all set to Ngo places. One game was won and one lost with Apollo, Section XXI champs the last two seasons, and while Springdale won twice, these games were so closely con- tested as to give rise to high hopes. However, after Christmas the team seemed to uget off on the wrong footf, not winning a league game unlil the meeting with East Deer. At times O.H.S. saw marvelous haskethall and at other timesfwell, we'll not say it. But the hoys never up and in the Kiski Tourney gave Springdale another hard run, heat As- pinwall for the second time, hut finally lost to Neville Township in the semi-finals of the L'Consolation. Disappointing as it was, this season showed an improvement over last. All hut two of the squad will he hack, and it may he that the deferred hopes of the past two years will fin- ally he realized.
