Qihea 1933 1-li.. Jlnnunciara BASKETBALL HERE is an old adage which tells us that in the game of life it matters not so much whether we win or loseg what counts is how we play. Q Some without much apparent effort, gain the plaudits and laurels of success, others play asl well, but fortune fails to smile auspiciously upon their efforts, and as it is with life, so the athletes of Saint Joseph's High have found it to be in sports-fortune smiles, fortune frowns. In sports though, the playing of the game is simply an attempt on the part of one group to outdo the other. What appeals to us especially is the color given to the fray by the spirit of the contestants, and the enthusiasm with which the contest is received by the patrons. ' A This eagerness was especially manifested during ithe basketball season of 1932-33. Through the willing efforts of Father Knight, our athletic moderator, many games were secured from other strong clubs. The pep meetings sponsored by ,him were the chief means of keeping up a lively spirit during the entire season. These meetings were full of fun and energy because of the untiring work of our active cheer leader, Mary Cummings. The new Science Hall, too, made it possible for social activities. The junior and Senior girls proved themselves charming hostesses by entertaining the visiting teams. Not only was lunch served but general enjoyment was increased by impromptu speeches and dancing. A splendid courage to take up the trail anew was the fruit borne of our initial experience. A vigorous sport spirit was shown by the squad which resulted in six successive victories for Saint Joe's. , The outstanding victory of the year was that over Altoona Catholic High. Among the closely contested losing games which tested the sportsmanship of the squad were those played against South High and Saint John's High of Pittston, Pennsylvania. ' On the whole, the basketball season of 1932-33 was successful, totaling thirteen games won and seven lost. The outlook for next year is bright as only two players are lost through graduation and plenty of promising material is coming up 'from the Junior Varsity. - ' St. Joseph's 26-23 Alumni 37-23 Lock Haven Cath. 48-38 Blossburg 28-21 Scranton fSt. Paul'sj 43-16 Lock Haven Cath. 19-24 Altoona Cath. 26-22 Muncy High 14-15 South High 20-17 Altoona Cath. 28-- 6 Elmira Cath. 24-22 Clearfield Cath. 13-41 Pittston Cath. ll-15 South High 30-22 Scranton fSt. Paul'sj 28-26 Muncy High x42-24 Clearfield Cath. 11-26 Renovo Cath. 22-24 Elmira Cath. 21-18 Blossburg - T 17-38 Pittston Cath. 503-461 Won 135 Lost 7.

The young people have come to spend a gala day in the country with their old friend, Mike O'Noole. Mike enjoys teasing the colleens about the loss of their sweet- hearts, who have been vamped away by Peggy. He also enjoys the love-sick Patrick, and advises him to blarney the fickle Peggy a bit too. Patrick profits by Mike O'Noole's advice, and fixes up a little plan to deceive Peggy and find out for whom she really cares. Meanwhile Peggy, tired of the boys and really caring for Patrick, pretends that she is called away. She returns later' disguised as her own brother, who has been studying to be a doctor. Mike O,Noole assists her, and she accomplishes this deception with marvelous results. ' ACT II TIME-Later in the day. PLACE-Same as in Act I. Mike O'Noole is still amusing the young people with tales of old Ireland. They are surprised and pleased to make the acquaintance of his niece, Marjorie. All the lads and colleens get much sport out of Peggy's brother, the studious Doctor Quack. They ask him to prescribe for their love-sickness. Doctor Quack, fthe fickle Peggyj, not only restores all the lads to their former sweethearts, but also discovers Patrick's love for her. Thus, through Mike O'Noole's cleverness, all is well and the gala day ends happily. ff She's just a Bit of Blarney With eyes of shining hlueg And yet she's all the world to I f I could think her true- This little Bit of Blarney With eyes of shining blue. me JOHN AUDE1' Sixteen
