THE PORCUPINE Girls Basket Ball On December 6th we again played Healdsburg, but this time on our own ground. The game, on account of being very close, was the most exciting one played last term. It was a quick game and splendid team work was shown on both sides.. At the end of the first half the score stood 6—1 in our favor, and the final score was 7—8, with a victory for us, and a well-earned one. The team is steadily improving and we hope that the decisive game with Healdsburg will add another victory:for us. The championship of Northern California lies between their team and ours , and with the right kind of support it will be ours. Now the support we need can be obtained largely from the Freshmen, and we trust that it will be give. We expect to have some games soon, and there are always plenty of chances on the team for good players, as is the case at present. Even though you cannot make the team, practice anyway, for it always pays to get a good start. How dear to our hearts is the steady subscriber, Who pays in advance at the birth of the year; Who lays down his money and does it quite gladly, And casts ‘round the office a halo of cheer. How welcome he is when he steps up to pay us, How he makes our hearts throb, how he makes our eyes dance, We outwardly thank him, and inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber who pays in advance. —Ex HAHMAN DRUG CO.

THE PORCUPINE A Freshie’s First Week The year had happily begun For Freshy Fresh, a rich man’s Sun. He went to “I ligh” to have some fun, And throw about his father’s Mon. “With it,” said he, “I'll pay my dues, In Clearing House, with ones or Tues.” He met a girl; love turned his head. He thought ’twas time for him to Wed. But when he paid his court to her She lisped, but firmly said, “No Thur.” “Alas!” said he, “then must I die!” His soul went where they say souls Fri. No more the hooks will hold his hat, The desk’s still there where Freshie Sat.
