OHlA Prism In llic weeks that followed, it seemed rather good to feel that all llic worry and excitement and strenuous effort of a football season could he forgotten f(jr a time while we turned our attention to our scholastic obli£;ations — I say it feels rather good at first, but by Thanksgi ing time we were sick and tired of such a dutiful, quiet existence — it made us think of home and we all got homesick. The relay squad then liegan to develop and shape up into a promising team, and we began lo have visions of nailing that long-desired B. A. A. Relay Cham- pionsliip. The week that followed was a time that tried men ' s souls ! ' The faculty had decided to hold a series of third degree ordeals, known as finals. To say that we burned the midnight oil is putting it mildly, but perhaps it is enough to say that the casualties were no heavier than usual. A few more lines and I will have fulfilled my promise to you, Al. I would be brief, but no coniprehensi e review of the year ' s activities could close without the glorious story of that final and successful attempt to win the B. A. A. Relay Championship. About twenty of us went down to back up the team and incidentally to cele- brate the passing of the mid-year finals. How well we did both is now a matter of history, but the real feature of the celebration was the splendid winning race run by Captain French ' s relay team. Our time, three — eight and three-fifths, was only- two seconds behind Harvard ' s record time of the evening. — After three years of hard luck failure such a brilliant victory- was very sweet. Now I have overspoken. ' as the negro, who engaged Jack Johnson in an argument at Havana, said. It is already Feb. 3rd, Al, ahd on the whole it has been a very successful year. It is all over now, but the cherished memories of our successes and failures will linger in the minds of all of us for many y-ears to come. As the year ends, so must my story end, for to discuss our plans of the future would make a lengthy chapter in itself. This much, however, I cannot keep back, our hopes are high and our courage knows no bounds, for we fully expect to annex two more state championships before commencement comes ' round again. Yours for Maine, Bosco. ' 13
