The Mound Builders BASE BALL The Plains High is again in the grip of the greatest of all passime fev- ers—baseball. The favorite slogan “When do we eat? has been wafted i a by the gentle spring breezes, and instead, we hear the re-echoes ot . hen do we play?” . . The diamond, which is located on the school ground, has been putin t ie pink of condition by the boys themselves. W e’ll admit that we aren t the same sort of material that produces the greatest winning teams, and while we haven’t put in any claim as world-beaters, we take as much pride in out victories and defeats as the best team ever produced. Everyonne plays his part to the best of his ability and everyone goes into the game with the knowlege that a clean defeat is far greater honor than an unmerited victory. The line-up as scheduled for this year is as follows: Victor Howard. Pitcher; Joseph Lyons, Catcher: James Gabriel, 1st Base, John Gabriel, 2nd Base; Paul Tipton,.3rd Base; Joe Charney, short stop. Eldon Hawk. Right Field: Hershell Darnell, Center Field;--—. Left Field. TENNIS In the year 1921, after due meditation and consideration, it was so or- dained that a certain new game, lawn tennis by name, be added to the many athletic activities of this learned body. Mr. Garrett said. “Four score and seven years ago. who would have though it?” Miss Watkins said. “1 care not what others may say, give me ten- nis lest 1 faint.” After many long and weary marches, suitable implements of warfare were brought to prepare the future battle ground, in due course of time, cer- tain objects, blisters by name, began to appear upon the delicate palms of the fair workers, and for several days there was much sorrow and missing of writtens. Next came the preparation of the soil for the growth of this far-famed and noble product of the esthetic mind. A horseless carriage followed by many elements of torture removed the knots and wrinkles of time and gave old mother earth a perfect massage. Now let it be hoped that many will let themselves be seen at the Court of Tennis, whereby righteous judgment may be meted out to those who par- ticipate in the game. While Fatty Brandson was burning some leaves, Joseph Charney came along and said, “Sav, don’t you know that grass will catch on tire and be as black as you are?” “Yes,” replied Fatty, “But it will grow again and be as green as you are.” Miss Watkins, (in History)—“And they burned him in effagy ” M. P.—“Oh, 1 always wondered what killed that man.” Mr. Bryson—“My father caught a fish yesterday that weighed thirty pounds, but when he got it to the top of the water, it fell back in again.” Victor—“Well, how did he know how much it weighed?” Mr. Bryson—“By the scales on its back.” Twenty-eight
