Just las the ball was being put into play the whistle blew and the third quarter was over. The fourth quarter was a repetition off the third, the voice of P-'s quarter-back calling the signals and the rapid progress of the ball down the field. When the final whistle blew the score was 49-0 favor of P--. Revenge is sweet, quoted one of P-'s players as he wlaus dressing. Yes, said one of St. Mis team, it is. Brut say, how did you fel- lows learnt to play like that ? Oh, was the answer, we all played on our college teams and came back here especially for the purpose of playing you fellows. Well, said St. M13 man, I want to say that was some come- back. HERBERT MULLAN '24 Four years have gone pleasantly since We entered P. H. S. We've joined in all activities, We've studied more or less. I-n bansket ball we've done -our part, We've yelled and cheered and sfung. We've sometimes been defeated, to-o But usually we've won. In literary we are good, We speak before a crowd. We have learned to stand up so straight, And speak out very loud. And now we bid you all farewell, And wish you all success. It makes us sad to leave our friends And good old P. H. S. BRUCE DUNN '24 Page eighty-sewn

bulluqup uf the waste Basket I am the waste basket. I have my trials and tribulations during the school year. I live in the corner near the stage in the assembly hall. My only brother lives in the same room but far away from me. I have two sis- ters and two cousins who live in other rooms. Each afternoon we meet in the hfall and gossip while the janitor makes his rounds. I contain 'most everything, from apple cores to broken string, just an old trash basket, that's all. They fill me up with everything they don't want and when they get mrad they just knock and kick me here, there and everywhere. They come to me with all their troubles and I give what lit- tle comfort I can. Herbert Mullan makes a target out of me when he's shooting spit balls. 'Guess he doesn't realize how it hurts and burns my checks. Why sometimes it almost makes me cry. My cousin who lives in Mr. Denny's room says he is just treated outrageously and he says that they have no respect for age whatsoever. They lbang their feet into his sides until he feels like all his ribs are broken. Especially when Adolph Ab- ramsonis number elevens are jammed into him. Oh! it's a hard life we fam- ily of waste 'baskets live. Now, my sister who lives in Miss Burnworth's room hzas a comparative- ly easy time of it. She was always a frail girl so I ann glad she is so for- tuneate. My other sister also has it easy, but then, we men folks can stand lots more than the women folks. Say, I have a cousin who lives in Mr. Rhodes' room who is so stuck up she can hardly walk stnaight. Just because all the English classes are held in this room and her education is a bit higher than ours. My sakes, you should hear her quote Macbeth and Caesar, She can run 'em like I can movie stars. She is so refined and dignified and gee, but she's polished, the only one in the family tho'. I want peace but I dare not ask for it 'cause I'm just an old waste bask- et. The Qiapture uf vial Qiarzp Sergeant Brent came to attention as he entered the oaptain's quarters and looked askanoe as to the reasons assigned for his summons before the higher officer. The captain, busy writing, contfinued until he had finished the report and then turned and gazed at Sergeant Brent. Brent, you remember Cole? The Sergeant assented, well he remem- bered the camp's best horseman and gunman who had been sent into that wild, almost impenetrable portion of West Virginia to bring back with him Cal Carey, noted moonshiner an-d leader of the famous band that had vow- ed that no officer would enter their vicinity and come out again alive.
