'IHE POTTER SHIELD Monroe Dorsey of the Culinary Department was drafted and is pI'OlO9Jb1Y HOW training at American Lake. Before he left, the school, aided by Mr. Potter, took up a collection and presented him with a traveling set, asafety razor and a wrist watch. All of which things caused Dorsey to show his 1vor1es in a wide grin o pleasure. A - . ,af wk vk HEARD AROUND SCHOOL I Now, let's make this room like a college library. Five demerits, Moody.

Although he can do many things, he cannot achieve the impossible. pk ,,, ,, Jack Payne got wind of a plot to shave his first growth. Luckily for him, he had a clear upper lip the next morning. Dk Dk Pk We have finally found the reason why Wheeler and Hayne are always so anxious to go down to the Mechanical Drawing Room. As someone has said, There's a new one passes every day? ,,. A ,,. Certain members of the first class have been seen around Heald's College at noontime. There surely is quite an attraction. Pk Pk Pk . Our motorcycle squad has changed for the better.

There is only one luncheon period now. Pk Dk Dk The Spanish boarding house seems to agree with Mr. Horsford. He surely gets his Spanish lessons down pat. Pk Dk :lf Tynan's Overland is certainly a marvelous car. It is wonderful the way it stands up under such harsh abuse from its master. It is a one-man car and no mistake, for it will start only when Tiny' ' himself kicks it. And the clutch is an absolute superfiuity. When Tiny shifts, he simply yanks away, and after a little persuasion and scraping, behold! he has shifted-truly a wondrous trained car. Pk Pk PIC Why is Tige Hayne always in such a hurry to reach St. Helena Friday after- noons? Why has he stopped consuming doughnuts? Why does he wear such bril- liant neckerchiefs? And why does he keep his f'flivver in the country all the time? These questions lead us to believe that Big Whoof is no longer a rabid woman- hater. It must be remembered that there are a number of families of Spanish origin in St. Helena and it is not at all unlikely that the gentleman in question has become enamoured of one of the black-eyed damsels.

ALTHOUGH the outlook at the beginning of the 1917 football season was decidedly gloomy the season itself was a great success, out of the ten games played only one was lost. This is one of the best football records the school has ever made. By winning the two games with the University School we gained possession of the new cup, offered by Mr. Nolan and Mr. Potter, for at least one year. Mr. Dyar left us last spring to enlist in the Army, but his place as assistant coach was admirably filled by Mr. Horsford. Mr. Traver had an exceedingly hard task before him this year as he had to make a winning team out of very light material. Practice began the week after school opened in September. One month was devoted to practice before any outside games were played. A large squad came out for practice daily, and although the men were light, Mr. Traver had enough material from which to pick a Winning team. Folger starred throughout the season. His running was excellent and his sure tackling saved our opponents from making many a touchdown. Mailliard played a good, steady game during the whole season. Tod never misses a tackle and he makes the best interference of anyone on the team. Greenbaum made many long gains by his great speed and when it comes to intercepting forward passes no one can beat Greeny. Wheeler was shifted from end to fullback this year. 'fKirk played remarkably well at this position and his punting was of the best. Hayne filled the place of center. If Booie had aimed his cannon ball passes at the enemy instead of our quarter he would have probably killed a few of them. These passes were not hurled out of any enmity of Booie's to our quarter back, but rather they were due to Booie's zeal in getting them off quickly. McAllister and Drum made the right side of the line very strong. Dohrmann, Bd., and Atkinson, although rather light, showed a great deal of fighting spirit and stopped many rushes through their side of the line. Moody was the surprise of the season. He was removed from his place at fullback on the scrubs, and played end as if he had been at that position all his life. His tackling was remarkably good. Abbott played a steady game all through Tweniy-fire
