The TRUMPET .QP l L'- MO' Tfrumpet Trills A HERO-A FOOTBALL Signals! One, two,-hike! The ball snapped back and the burly fullback, receiving it on his own tive yard line, hit through right tackle for a seventeen yard gain and a first down. Again the team lined up. It was a crucial moment-the game had but a minute and ten seconds to liveg the score stood nothing to nothing. To our hero, Stretch, everything seemed to be delayed. Signals , barked the quarterback. He called Stretch's signal. It was a deceptive play, en- tailing great ingenuity in its execution. The center snapped the ball. Stretch was playing behind right guard. The fullback again received the ball and Stretch cut in ahead of him pretending to take out the opposing halfback. With the slyness of a fox. Stretch took the ball from the charging fullback, slipped through a hole in left guard and began his triumphant march down a clear field. Swiftly the chalk marks glided by. A touchdown was imminent, it was a race with old Father Time. As he approached the goal line he tripped and fell, his body, however. had fallen across-with a sleepy look in his eyes and his pillow securely tucked under his arm, he arose to receive the praise due a conquererg the praise, cheers and applause of his brothers and sisters who had watched his victorious run through the hall, and his touchdown, or rather, faIldown the stairs. EDWARD A. LYNCH, '26. CHEMISTRY PERIOD Standing one day in the class-room, I was weary and ill at ease, My throat felt hot and very dry, And a tremor had seized my knees. M y attemjfts at speech were painful, I forgot what I 'wanted to say, The Chem I had studied so carefully, Had from my brain flown away. It left my mind so completely, That before I know I was through, The teacher had marked down a zero, And told me, That would do. JOHN A.

The TRUMPET Q 1 l 1 - l 1 u4- Girls' Basketball 'ZSJZ6 Coach . . . . MARY MCNliLIS Manager . . . lVlA1:oA1uCT BICNIENAMIN Associate Manager . . C1xT111zR1NE BURKE The girls of the '26 basketball team may look back upon a most successful season, marred by few defeats. The team played a new brand of basketball this year, the like of which has never been seen before. Superior teamwork, effective guarding, and swift passing marked every game. The first call for candidates was answered by a most brilliant array of material. Witli two veterans from last year's team as a nucleus Coach McNelis began early to build the greatest team ever to represent the Purple and VVhite. How- ever, the old fault of over-confidence soon as- serted itself and before the season was two weeks old, two defeats had been registered against them. These, however, provided the needed incentive and in the next game, the Alumni was easily defeated. This victory began a winning streak which was not broken until eight games had been won. During this time victories were gained over St. Mary's of Dunmore, St. John's of Scranton, St. Mary's of Wilkes-Barre, Weatherly H. S. and the Leader Bobbies. The last was the only one to even threaten this great record. The most impor ant game of the season, with St. Ann's of Freel nd, was lost, but only after a strenuous battle, this final score being 21-19. The defeat came as a hard blow to the team, and the girls had worked not only to avenge diligently to win this game, the former defeat, but also to continue the winning streak. The next en- counter was with VVeatherly H. S. and resulted in an easy victory, the final score being 46-1. The last game of the season was with St. Edward's of Shamokin. The Saints fought a hard but los- ing battle and when the final whistle had blown Shamokin had woii, 23-20. Thus closed the greatest season for girls' bas- ketball the school has ever known. Those play- ers who will graduate can well be proud of the enviable record they have establishedg their names as members of that great team will be remembered as long as athletics continues to be an important factor 14.

The TRUMPET l... 4 Commercial Trumpet Blares BE FRANK AND SINCERE Don't waste your time and the advertiser's by apply- ing for a position which you are unable to fill. An office boy cannot expect to get a job as business manager of a large corporation, and a young man of twenty-hve, no matter how smart he may be, will not be chosen as a bank president. JOHN TORMAY, '27, Commercial. GET AT SOMETHING If nothing turns up, turn something up. The man who is at work has ten chances to get a better place for one chance the man who is out of work has to get anything to do. If the place isn't good enough or the pay not big enough, fill the place chuck full, so that you will bulge over a little where people can see you, and earn every cent of the pay. The people who are most tired in this world are working for themselves and not for the good of others. WILLIAM NILLES, '27, Commercial. NEVER BE IDLE If you are out of work and can't find any, go and help some poor fellow who has more than he can carry. Don't consider that you are doing him a favor either. He is really doing you the favor. For every one man who can't find work, there are five who have more than they can do. If you read your Bible, you will find that the men whom God called to higher work were not standing around with their hands in their pockets waiting for a job. JOHN WALSH, '26, Commercial. BE PROMPT As a rule, the most successful business men are prompt in keeping business engagements and in all business affairs. Early, form habits of promptness and you will not only be able to serve others better, but will find this habit of great value to you in busi- ness all through life. JOSEPH MCFADDEN, '27, Commercial. HINTS FOR DEPOSITORS Do not wait until you get to the bank to count your money, or to endorse your checks and arrange your deposits. This should be done before you come to the bank, or at least, before you present yourself at the receiving teller's window. Be sure that you have the figures correct. Place the bills all one way, right side up. Separate your gold and silver, and sort the silver by denominations. Do not deposit your dimes, nickels, and pennies until you have a certain amount of them, say five dollars of each: then put them in a package, with the amount and your name marked on it, and leave for the' teller to C0lll1t at his leisure, with the understanding that if short or over the proper correction will be made. LIARY FARRELL, '26, Commercial. 'O DON'T QUIT Don't quit a good position until you are sure of a better one. Remember that the very best positions are secured through promotions and not by answering advertisements. The boys who are always looking for nice, easy positions at stout salaries, never get them. JAMES DUNNIGAN, '27, Commercial. DON'T TELL YOUR HISTORY It will not be necessary to say how well-bred or how well-educated you are. Show this by the modera- tion of your statements, the conciseness of your facts, by correct spelling and good grammar, by a neat and respectable letter. Write such a letter as will obtain for you an interview, and your manners can then be made manifest. DANIEL GALLAGIII-:R, '27, Commercial. EMPLOYMENT The Lord helps those who help themselves. Do not depend entirely upon some one else to secure you a position. Assure yourself that you can do good work and then confidently ask for employment. There are plenty of business men ready and glad to employ competent help and it is only necessary to secure an opportunity to prove your worth. ANNA O'DONNELL, '27, Commercial. KNOWLEDGE Knowledge, in general, expands the mind, exalts the faculties, refines the taste of pleasure, and opens innumerable sources of intellectual enjoyment. By means of it we become less dependent for satisfaction upon the sensitive appetite, the gross pleasures of sense are more easily despised, and we are made to feel the superiority of the spiritual to the material part of our nature. Instead of being continually solicited by the influence and irritation of sensible objects, the mind can retire within itself, and expati- ate in the cool and quiet walks of contemplation. ANNA MONAHAN, '26, Commercial. COURTESY Courtesy is the true characteristic of a good mind. VVe must be as courteous to a man as to a picture, which we are willing to .give the advantage of a good light. Be courteous to all, but intimate with few: and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. Many a heart has been won through the exercise of such little kindnesses and courtesies as are natural to the generous in spirit and the noble of soul. Genuine courtesy grows out of an assiduous self-denial and a constant consideration of the happi- ness of others: the forms and usages of etiquette derive all their beauty and significance from the fact that each of them requires the sacrifice of one's own ease and convenience to another's comfort.
