124 Stratus of Ithaannkz 1919 ???? I-IAVE had a varied career and have traveled many miles. Both boys and girls have loved met and many people have praised me. I have shared their sorrows and Joys, for I was the real cause. Boys have said things to me, things that boys only can say. Girls have gently caressed me ' ' d h when I have pleased them. Many times have I fought, many times game t e victor and have been cheered loudly. Other times, I have been tossed aside ya for another somewhat like me, for you must know that I reign only a part of each year. I-Iowever, I am not forgotten by those who love me. My record nd is known far and wide. Do you know who I am? I am an R. I-I. S. Basket-Ball. is an enviable one, a IRv1Nc OVERSTREET, 'I9.

We did not have a coach, that is the beginning and end of our troubles. Some thought that we would find it diflicult to obtain games, but I tell you-they were mistaken, every school in this State was proud to play Roanoke, why they even thought it an honor to be defeated by the Magic City Teamf' Our first game was with Bluefield and to tell a little secret-we had great hopes of winning that game until two days before it was to happen, when our star forward suddenly decided to have an attack of appendicitis-of course we don't blame her, but we did think the appendicitis should have waited until after our first game anyway. Those West Virginians evidently had the same hopes that we did, without the appendicitis, so they won the game. It was a hard-fought battle. Every man did her best. lVliss Mundy was the lucky one, who made first goal for Roanoke. p
