S. H. S. Track, ’21 After Track Practice All is not peace and quiet after track prac- tice in the dressing room, as one may easily iind out if he stays about the school building until about five-thirty. About the first thing he will hear is the harmonious voices of the many warblers who compose the track team. Aside from singing, the bunch has a couple of other ways to pass away the time. Some of the more hard-hearted fellows enjoy themselves by snapping towels at some unsuspecting creature who is otherwise occupied than by watching for any such occurrence. Another main diversion for some fellows is tying knots in clothes. These fellows busily occupy themselves in this manner while the others are in the showers. When the victims come out they are immed- iately given the ha, ha. They have to take it good naturedly or perhaps they will get something worse. Such are the misdemeanors and pranks which please and thrill the souls of youth. —John Siskowic, ’22. paQe thirty-one
