THE WAMPUM at short and third respectively. E. Johnson and Snow, as of last year, are leading with the bat. This year we will lose by graduation B. Donnell, whose steady catching and hitting have 19 been such a valuable asset to the team. But there is much material to be de- veloped for catcher, so we hope to make the team of 1916 an improvement even on the one of 1915. Grinds In your weirdest reveries can you imagine : Snow not drawing pictures. Graham not lettering. Crossley not getting A-f in geom- etry. Burkett and Straight not fooling. Lucia Whitman getting to school on time. Spofford talking to a girl. Mix not sent out of class daily. The eighth grade not asking ques- tions. Jones dancing. Wanted : No exams. A blizzard and no school. A jitney bus for those who have to stay after school. A first class carpenter to enlarge the front door for Frank ' s convenience. Money for graduation. A first class rat catcher. A safe to keep the Literary Society dues in. A day off to catch herring. Another sleigh-ride. A few more men to be as benevolent as Mr. Shepherd to the B. B. A. A school telephone. Fewer ten cent rings flashing around the school building. Visitors and more visitors. Less Latin Prose Lessons. A cantata for graduation. In singing — second sopranos.
