22 SQ.MER VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR To teachers we send forth a greeting, We know your patience we try; But have courage, work on firm and trusting. For we’ll make good bye and bye. So. classmates, let’s make a new record. One never reached before; So that those of the coming classes May with pride tell of old ‘24. Life’s Darkest Moment When a girl at a football game jumps into the air and yells her head off when the home team makes a touchdown only to find that the home team was offsided. The Borrowed Saw I came for my saw. sir,” said a little fellow. “What saucer?” “Why, the saw, sir, that you borrowed.” “I borrowed no saucer.” “Sure you did. sir. borrowed our saw, sir.” “Be off! 1 have never seen your saucer!” “But you did, sir, there’s the saw, sir.” “Oh, you want the SAW!” Sophomore class officers are to be elected soon, ilive the matter careful consideration and choose wisely. We are “first-class” students now. Why not contribute something to the RADIATOR, of which we are so proud? Winning His Letter (Continued from Page 19.) the Union line. It seemed to be the only chance, as a forward pass was out of the question, the Union ends being on the watch. The quarter gave the signals calling for a centre rush, lie was crouched exceedingly low behind the crimson line. The players hesitated at the rash move, for they doubled to a man that Castletcn could penetrate the giant Union line. Nevertheless it was too late to protest, and the signals were carried out. The opposing lines crashed and the j«layers went down in a heap. The crowds expected to see the little quarter crushed at the bottom of the pile, but instead Castleton was over the Union goal line, hugging the ball and smiling with contentment! Nobody can explain just how it happened, whether lid burrowed his way through the mass of players, ur slid under a linesman’s legs; but lie found a hole somewheres and scored the six points that tied Union. With a minute left to play, the rangy Essex tuliback kicked the goal and brought to a close one of the most exciting and spectacular schoolboy contests ever staged in Delaware. Lee Castleton has often since related to his admirers how he won his letter in that superb 7— 6 triumph over Union for the state honors, and proudly exhibits at the end of his story a gold football.
