Elgg-A-'Ff,,,ff' Deer Bill: Perhaps yoo remember th' leetsball bankwet I writ yoo abowt too yeers agow? Perha s, yah? Well, I told yoo that I wood write yoo agin soon and so heer I am with my seliond letter. I always was that way-prompt like. Well, this heer bankwet was a lot better than any other I seen in the corse ov a long and excepshonel career in R. Il. S. I teld yoo about me not bein' abel to et a date nohow too yeers ago behaws all tha gurls was staggin' it to the big feed. Qvell, this yeer things is much the same only a happy meediom wuz reeched. The gurls sat op- posite the boy friends and I herd stated that ther wuz more cazualities caused by some adsent minded fellows stabbin' therselves with ther forks whilst watchin' the little lady direkly oppozit than ther wuz brewzed heds all thru the feetsball seezon. Wlell, like I often sez, thers nothin' at all which I craves more than simplicity and the food that nite wuz simply grate. I kan't remember eggzactly everything we et but it wuz dandy and the helpins were posilootly the most magnificent in dimenshons of anv vet. Our principal, Mr. W. See Geezy, sez that the mane part ofa bankwet aint the eats but the things that goes along with it. Well ther wuz plenty things happening all the tyme. Ther wuz all kinds of folks wot got up and talkd and everythin' and, beleeve me, it wuz simply magnitisent. A guy which wuz kwite the hot stuff in Maalyson at the Unyversity and woo iz one absolootly dandv talker spoke to the assembeled hostages. Hiz name is Jimmy Brader and, Bill, if yoo wunt to get some guy to talk and say sumthing at the sam tyme, which is no meen acheevemunt, get that ther fellow to come and spill his nolege. Well, sir, I never knowed we had a reel speeker in this hi skool like Miss King, hour fakulty orater iz. She is absolutely the berries, without no doubt whatsoever. Wen she stood up and gave that ther toste to the teem from the fakulty I just sez to mvself, ' 'You pore hamstring bum you , I sez, ' 'ifyou had the intelligunce ov a figee ilancl dog, yoo might be able to keep legible and play on th' teem and heer things like that sed about yoo too. And talkin' of tostes, Howr Marget Fink aint so slowch eether. She tosted the fellows from the stoodents. Honest, Bill, those fellows were done up brown, they wuz tosted so much. Ther wuz speeches from Larrance wot iz the bakfeeld coche on howr teem, and from Taylor wot sez to the fellows ' 'XVe'll lite it owt on this heer line if it takes all fall and become famos overnite like the man who always is cured by Slump's coff hure. Yoo no howr tightin capten Thor Poulson, he says he aint able to speak a tew wordS at the students as he wuz afflicted with a kold but I seen him eesin' thru sum conversa- tion with one of howr R. H. S. bells after the feed withowt much trouble. Capt. Elekt Bullis, spoke to the students and he wuz so skared he might uv well as had a kold. He talked so kwiet that I thunk he wuz practicin' his peese to hizself, fergetten wher he wuz, like. The grate tinolly came when Coche Cox passed owt the letter to awl the fellows and Dilldaye and Elzmo, howr disples of St. Vitus led the cheers and everyone rored and everything went off in grate style right. And Bill, I must say a wurd about the orchesttry. It, like the furnase, wuz grate. The moosic floated thru the gim all evening whilst the Glee klub sung sweet melody. Boy, it wuz wun hot affare awl the way arownd. Well, Bill, az the dumb water sez, don't eet that lady, that's applesawce. Your affekshonate Kompanion, Chuck. l92l

fffoi wg 1 Football '25 Racine started its football season this year laboring under the inexperience handicap that was the bane of the Black and Gold's athletic existence throughout the seasons of the different sports during '25 and '26. Racine lost its first game to South Division High School of Milwaukee, 15-6. Although fighting bravely and succeeding in pushing one touchdown across, Racine finally succumbed when the invaders drove two touchdowns through the R. H. S. defense. The following week Racine made the longest jaunt in the history of its athletics when Coach Cox took the squad to Marinette where men are lum- CAPT. PALJLSON berjacks and football teams are of huge proportions. The odds were all against Racine, but the game was the making of the Racine team. The line demonstrated that it was possessed of ample backbone, while the backheld was a co-ordinated machine. It was a great moral vic- tory for the Black and Gold, despite the 14-0 defeat the score showed. CAPT. EL14:cT Burris The next game was played on the following Saturday at Beloit and it was Racine's first Big Six conference tilt. The game ended six all tie. Shorewood lligh at Nlilwaukee came next. The game was played on a sea of mud and water that was inches deep. Frequent time-outs were taken to enable the referee to clean off the ball before the game could progress. Cash more's expert toe work was the feature of the game. He booted twelve points between the posts from difficult angles. Racine skidded to one touchdown and the game ended 18-0 with the Black and Gold on top, both literally and figuratively speaking. This game was one of the best swimming meets Racine has ever partici- ated in. P Nladison East lli was the next foeman. Racine Won 55-0. Dunaway was all four of the horsemen, and with the willing help of able team mates, the Galloping Ghost turned in the maiority of Racine's points. Ianesville defeated Racine the following week in a game that should never have been played. The field was covered with several inches of snow and throughout the game the blizzard was so bad that the teams could not be seen from the sidelines. Racine played the game when Ianesville became insistent, and fought like demons against a team whose superior weight and size slowly pushed the Coxmen back to defeat. The game ended 18-0. Racine battled Nladison Central High to a 0-0 tie at Nladison the following week. The Black and Gold sojourned inside the Orange ten yard marker several times but conldn't manage to score. The final game was the annual battle between Racine and Kenosha. The game was a one-sided affair featured by Racine's great battle against overwhelming odds and by the efficient work ofthe Keno tank corps composed of eleven young gentle- men of the heavyweight division. The score was 20-0. This was the Grst time Kenosha had defeated Racine in five years. l94l
