Coach Trask started a new system this year. lt was called the interchanging of triangles. Those who watched the games saw this idea work out. Starting the season with the loss of but one man, Coach Trask developed a fine team. The system, however, was new and took time to understand. This new system also brought out many different kinds of plays. Members of the team were: Allen, Bird, Captain Gaffney, M. Morgan, R. Morgan, Quick, A. Semanik, J. Semanik, Stephenson, Bawol and K. Smith. L. White was appointed manager of the team. On the second team were: Harrison, Komorek, K. Smith, Stephenson, M. Tyran, W. Green, A. Hanson, Peck and White. Bird led the boys' team in scoring with 145 points, followed by Allen with 109, and R. Morgan with 95. The team lost the first game of the year to Waterville. However, the team went on to capture 12 straight victories. Then came the crucial Middleville game which they lost by a score of 31 to 14. Sauquoit completed the rest of its schedule without a defeat, winning 18 out of 20 games played. The playoff was called at llion with Middleville, winner by a score of 23 to 12. Next year will bring forth many new faces due to graduation and loss of the post-graduates. The boys appre- ciated the advice and time that Coach Trask spent on them to bring out a successful team. 23

'Holman City was the third settlement in the town of Paris. It is located about one mile east of Clayville. It lies in a valley which is fertile. In this valley is a small trout stream called Holman City Creek. This little settlement was originally known as Log City, but later named Holman City after the Holman family. A pioneer named Cutlet was one of the first settlers in the year of 1798. He erected a small shop where he made wooden bowls. Thev called this a dish mill. After the dish mill, a saw mill was also erected. David Holman bought the dish mill and erected a grist mill and a saw mill, and a little below that a clover mill. They also had a distillery there. Besides, they made drawshaves and hoes. William Holman also owned a grocery store. A man by the name of Mr. Tripp kept a tavern. Mr. Filkens was the mayor of Holman City. Mr. Chapman had a wagon shop. He secured the power from the trout pond. In early history they had a school. This settlement also had a blacksmith shop. Besides, there were a soap factory and a chair factory. Now almost all of these buildings are down. All thatis left of the place are a few houses and a planing mill. The roads are of dirt which are very dusty in summer. The people are farmers. It is very quiet there. No tourists ever go there, so I think of it as the 'Torgotten Land. John Evans, Eighth Grade. .
