THE MONMOUTH GAME. On the 5th of May the high school ball tossers journeyed over to the teachers burg and again lost a game by only one point.- Jonesi absence from the team, be- ing due to a case of sickness, broke up the team work to a great extent as he always keeps the game in his grasp and holds the team together wonderfully in a pinch. However. Bashor, the Rambler catcher, filler! his place in a very pleasing manner. The result of the game laid almost entirely with the umpire, as in every case when there was the slightest pretext he gave the Normal team the big benefit. This was clearly shown once by a fair ball being called a foul and again when Roberts was called out at home when safe by ten feet. Eyre made a bad fumble of a grounder in the ninth which gave Monmouth their winning run. Roberts acted as captain in place of Jones. In the first of the ninth Roberts went to bat and popped out a neat single, went to second on sacrifice by Keenes, stole third and came home when harrison flew out to center field, but was called out when home on a rank decision by the um- pire. This Virtually robbed the high school of the game. In the last of the ninth, with one out, Goode knocked a liner to Eyre, who fumbled it, allowing him to reach first. He then stole second, went to third on an out by Day and started home

l 1' ;. .tu tut! .- 15:, I I r AW , TEE CLARION . w HORACE SYKES ENTERTAINS. A jolly wagonload of Seniors journeyed out to the home of Horace Sykes in Polk county Saturday after commencement. Talk about fun. Well, just put seventeen Seniors to- gether with Harry Winstanley antl Nellie Sykes for chaperons and you can imagine what would happen. They had such a good time that they forgot all about the organiza- tion of the Alumni. How could they think of anything so commonplace, though, while enjoying to the limit the iiMercy Seat? Chrissieis iiBig chickens? iiPopperii Mersi and iiMom- meri, Winstanleyis witticisms, iiLe- ander Slater and tiLulu,i BelPs quiet seriousness and last but by no means least, those famous luncheons devised by Mrs. Sykes. The jolly crowd broke up about 8 p. m., tired but happy, every one ac- knowledging that he had had the best time ever. THE LAST SENIOR PARTY. Miss Genevieve Potter invited the Seniors out to her home on the Pringle road last Thursday. This was another of those famous iigooi times? It was iittingly the climax of a year of enjoyment. The iinaught sixersi, assembled at 3:30 and after a jolly hayrack ride arrived at Pot- ter,s about 5 p. m. The whole crowd got loose in the ' cherry orchard! Gee, how those cher- ries suffered! After camping out awhile in the cherry orchard they strolled two by two .up the lane to the house. There Chrissie gave us some shooting lessons. Honestly, she hit a five acre prune orchard at the first shot. After enjoying some delicious re- freshments the class of 06 adjourned to the iiMarguerite patch. The mar- guerites were simply beautiful, al- most as pretty as our own sweet Marguerite. Horace and the ladies gathered huge armfuls of the flowers before returning to the house. The Alumni was organized and a committee consisting of Horace Sykes, Genevieve Potter and Rea Utter e?ezt- ed to draft constitution and by-laws. The officers of the Alumni Associa- tion are as follows: President, Har- vey M. Slater; Vice president, Bertha Duncan; secretary, Martha Schindler; treasurer, Mabel Magness. After indulging in a delicious and bountiful repast the Senior iibunch adjourned till next time. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET. The latter part of the school yexr has been largely taken up with things connected with the social life of the high school. The first event of commencement was the Junior-Senior banquet. This event, destined to live long in the minds and nearts of those in at- tendance, as one of the most enjoy- able events of commencement, took place on the evening of June 1, in the High School building. The Juniors had made elaborate preparations for the event. The ban- auet was held on the first noor. The walls were elaborately decoratei with ferns, greens, and the Junior and Senior flags. The ceiling was

THE CHEiwAWA GAME. On Saturday, May 12, occurred the greatest baseball game in which S. H. S. has ever participated. It lasted for twelve long innings and was replete with the best ball ever seen on a Salem diamond. The fact that our infield had fifty-four hard chances and made but four errors, and the outfield had five chances with one error will tell the stran- ger what kind of ball was played that day. The one error in the out- field was only caused by Fisher and Eyre going after a fly and colliding. Eyre made two of the most sensa- tional catches ever seen in Salem. One was when he scaled a high bank covered with weeds and tall grass, and picked a high fly off the top of the right field fence. Another was when he cut off a dinky single ove? second base. Not being able to reach it he threw himself through the air and picked it just as it was going to hit the ground. Lawrence Keenes was the hero of the day. He struck out ten Indians, allowed four bases on balls, gave out but thirteen hits, hit two men, got three hits himself, two of which were home runs, and made three tallies. That last homer was the one that did the work. Jones had reached second, and with Cne- mawa in the lead by one run it was up to Keenes to do or die. He tidid. The mighty Poland threw an incurve, and with gritted teeth and every muscle and nerve in his body strainel to the highest tension, he swung on 1t and sent it sailing over the right field fence, winning the game. It was a glorious victory, coming as it dld, and will live long in the memory of the students of the Salem Hint School. The whole infield playe'l superb ball, as the tabulated score will show. The ball that Keenes knocked over the fence for the win- nlng run is in the possession of the manager, and will be given to the. school When a collection of trophies is started.
