Smitties Lose Two Games During Season 'What are you trying to do coach, kill us?' These were the familiar words heard on the soccer field every evening for two weeks. Twenty huffing and puffing “soccer players to be,” were about ready to drop after an evening’s practice. Coach Martin really meant it when he said he didn’t want a bunch of short winded --------trotting around over the field. He drilled the team in sections and then as a unit until he had one of the two top teams in the league. Although these evenings seemed cruel and inhuman they payed off ten fold. The Smitties lost only two games during the season and tied the biggest and most powerful team in the league. It was one of the best seasons in recent years at S.H.S. Carry on!!

First Inter-Scholastic Fieldball Since War The Leopardettes started the season with a bang and ended with a surprising victory over Williams- port. This was the first year of inter-scholastic fieldball since the war. The girls showed out- standing sportsmanship, and with a loss they al- ways had the spirit of winning the next game. By reviewing the scores, you can find that the winning margin was greater for the opposing teams than the Smitties, but they hope they made a good reputation in all the schools with which they com- peted. When a man says he’s the boss in the family, he’ll lie about other things too. FACULTY REVIEW (Continued from Page 1 1 ) Mrs. Murray. Teaches part of the first grade. Pet saying— Jimmeny Frost.
