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.

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!!

BRAGS GOOD TEAM BASEBALL REVIEW S.H.S. owned one of the best basketball teams in 46 and 47 it has ever sported. Although they lost a few games they won far more with a very high score. The squad s team work and sportsman- ship won the admiration of every school in the league. Under coach Rohrbaugh's eagle eye the team developed from a group of confused and sloppy boys to a precise unit of conditioned players. Hours and hours of hard practice was the key to their success. Now in condition they are ready to meet their opponents. Making every move count the squad was able to hold and gain ground against any team. Let s not forget the J.V.'s They were working just as hard as the varsity and playing just as well. Here s to another great year. Smart Fellow My girl told me last night that she didn't want to see me any more.” So I guess you left then. No, 1 turned out the lights. Jones: How do you spend your income?” Smith: About 30'r for shelter, 30% for cloth- ing, 40'( for food, and 20 ' for amusement. Jones: But that adds up to I20r ! Smith: Don’t 1 know it! Good morning, doctor. I just dropped in to tell you how much I benefited from your treatment.” But you are not one of my patients. No, but my uncle was, and I'm his heir. The Leopards are out to win again. This time its’ baseball. A squad of 20 reported for practice the first night and no one has left. They all work together and share victory and defeat alike. This season they have had a taste of both. Mr. Martin is coaching and he is really doing a fine job of putting the boys through the paces. At practice each man bats and takes his turn at his position. In the game when the heat is on and the coach yells heads up it makes the fans set up to when a ball sails into the air and starts it plumet to the ground, or should we say to the glove of one of our crack outfielders. Sometimes there is a miss but not very often. All in all things are going smooth but lets root for more homers. SENIOR’S WILL (Continued from Page 10) Mark hrey grants his farming skill to Charles Slick. Robert Tracey hands down his way of making pick-ups to Harold Gift. Elbridge Brown wishes to will himself a million. Last, but by no meanst least. Preston Happel wills anything he has to anyone who wants it. In witness whereof, we put our last seal and testa- ment this month of June, nineteen hundred and forty-seven. Voice on phone: Are your mother and father at home? Little boy: They's went out.” Voice: They's went out! Where’s your gram- mar? Little boy: Oh, she’s went out too. 13
