THE PIONEER SPORT NOTES PAGE FIVE Lean back in your chair. Ah, Neal O’Hara never thought of one like that. We suggest a boxing match between “Shrimp” Pierpont and “Neverkeep- quiet” Shires, the money to go to the High School A. A. Perhaps “Art” would rather stage a gabfest with “Os¬ car” Low. Coach ought to sue the talkie com¬ panies for stealing his pet football plays. Pierce, former Deering High, is sure¬ ly a darling basketball player. “Bus” proved he’s no bust by sinking five points. Well, no alumni star did better. “If I Had a Talking Picture of You” is the favorite locker room song. If the picture is anything like the sound, we’d hate to hear it. Didn’t “Dinnie” play some nice bas¬ ketball in the Alumni game? Why doesn’t “Fran” come out for basketball? He’d look great passing to “Mert” on the quick breakaway. “Bus” looks to be out for a great season. 1 i Fitchburg looks like the big game of the season. Are you going? Newspaper stories are good, but don’t forget it was “Dick” Gale that scored the winning point in the Wakefield game. How did you like the faculty team printed in the Chronicle? It gave some of us a good laugh, but don’t forget they beat the varsity a couple of years ago. Mr. Sussmann, if we remember rightly, was the star in that game. If “Dick” Burhoe can only go as fast as his car, we’ve got the league title now. How did you like that junior team? Looks good for next year. We’re sorry for the poor Juniors who study so hard the y have no time to be an assistant manager. Are there no Scotchmen in the class? You know, you see all the games free. Who wrote that “Sophmore” on the bulletin board? Please remember there is another “o” in it, but, good¬ ness, where are the “a’s”? How about some teacher forming a basketball league and playing the games in the H. S. gym? The idea was tried out some years ago with PIONEER COVER DESIGNS On Tuesday, January 7, a meeting of the “Pioneer” board was held to select covers for the three remaining issues this year. The covers chosen were T. F. — There’s food for thought in this magazine story. R. H. — Full of meat, eh? T. F. — No, it’s a serial. P. P. — Any one can see you have a talent for painting. D. B. — Oh, how can you tell? P. P. — One look at your face. drawn by Harriet Howe, Clayton Downs, and Francis Merritt. Each of these three will receive a year’s free subscription to the “Pioneer.” Mr. Gates — What were the Ameri¬ can colonists fighting for? Burditt — Their immoral rights. Mr. Pope — What holds the sun up? Martin — The sunbeams, of course. F. B. — How long could a person live without brains? H. H. — Let’s see, how old are you?
