10? ,1 l A D P 12 ATHLETICS! Much interest has been taken in hand ball during ' this spring. V So much has the game been played that a tournament was decided upon to find out who was the ' real shark. ' Twenty contestants' were entered in the singles and a large amount of first class playing was witnessed. Harold Smith won the champion- ship by defeatingeRaymond Sew- ard in a hard fought contest by a score of 21 to 2o. At the time of this writing the doubles have not been finished. A great deal of interest has been evinced in tennis this year and some very good work been done. A tournament was held in Gentlemen's and Ladies' singles as a result of which Wilbur Downs and Laura Van Reussalaer came out victors. Downs and Clayton were sent as our representatives to Oji Valley and did very well con- sidering the fact that they were matched against the second best team in tournament. just after this the Hall brothers of Orange county challenged Downs and Clayton and were defeated in two very prettily played sets of doubles. In singles Clayton defeated his man in two sets out of three and Downs was victorious in the same this has been a very successful year of the game. ,! , GIRLS BASKETBALL.

ii, ,vm ,W ...--4-'---f?1 -i 'l' -'M ' LITTLE LIMERICKS. H is our dear old High, To love which one need not try. I There, day after day, lVe study and play, Faithful whether we laugh or we sigh. I is the Interest Intense W'ith which people stand outside the fence To see a good game. Alas! VVhat a shame They lack so few nickles and cents. G is the Green and the Gold, The color we proudly unfold. VVell-known afar, Symbols they are Of Glory and Great untold. H is the Hour that we Hate- The morning we come in too late, For then, since we must, We think with disgust Of the Xs assigned as our fate. . . S is the Seat in the front For which in vain we may hunt, It is only for those Who sweet peace oppose And brilliantly try some new stunt. C is the Care that we take A delightful impression to make. It is known as a bluff, And is really enough To make martyrs weep at the stake. H is the Horror to come At intervals felt by some As they just stop to think Of Xs in ink, XfVhen their brains seem to wriggle and hum. Oiis the midnight Owl VVho binds his poor head with a tow'l, And works in the night. ' It is really not right To study by methods so fowl, G is also the Orgy so wild Indulged in by some Freshman child Ah, soon he will learn From such things to turn, And he come only busy and mild. And L always means the Last, The days coming surely and fast, Vlfhen to Life in old High lrVe must all say Good-bye, And its joy will slip on to the Past. ELSIE REED HAYES, roy. 30 J!
