We could say that V. H. S. will have a banner season but we won’t because all too often we have been disappointed. Eight letter men will be among those answering the first call for candidates early next month. Guy Smith and Merritt Raymond will be returning for their fourth seasons at catcher and shortstop, respectively. Other letter men returning are Bernie Auston, second base; Robert Morris, third base; Stu Haven, field; Charles Frank- lin. field; Bill Fuller, field; and Bill Larabee, catcher. The team will be without the services of Art Moorby, another fourth year man, because of the age limit. The big question centers around the pitchers corp as Bradley, last year’s standout who graduated, was the only pitcher and through an oversight of the pitching staff no replacement was trained. Class Tournaments The Annual Class Tournaments started on Monday, March 11, with the Freshmen opposing the Sophomores. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR

BLUE AND WHITE DE REBUS ROMANIS EDITOR, PATIENCE NORTON, ’41 ASSISTANT EDITOR, GiENIER JEROME, ’41 “Copiae Imperatoris” Imperator filiaque eius copias spectabant. Filli agricolarum multi venerant ut pro rege pugnarent. Imperator arma suis copiis dedit. Milites monuit ut cum virtute pugnarent. Signum, tuba militibus dabatur. Milites gladiis pugna-verunt. Imperator eos laudavit. Deinde imperator filiaque pulchra ad prandium tuba appellabantur et milites ad suum prandium quoque properaverunt. Anita Barrows, Latin I “Vita Ciceronis” Cicero Arpini a. d. Ill Non. Jan. anno 648 a. u. c. natus est. Rhetori-cam, philosophiam, poesem stu-duit. Duos annos in exercitu Romano erat. Post suam militiam studium dicendi prosecutus est. Multas orationes habuit sed post unam orationem contra Sullam Roma ei duos annos reliquenda erat. Sua reditione feminam, Ter-entiam nomine, in matrimonium duxit. Duo liberi eis nati sunt; Tullia, quae, adhuc in venca, mor- tua est, et Marcus, qui nihil valuit. Post annis duobus quaestor creatus est et ad Sicilian! missus est. Sua reditione orationem in judicio contra hominem, Verrem nomine, habuit. Verres opes caede Siculorum obtinuerat. Propter orationem Ciceronis in exsilium Verri eundum erat. Ob hanc victoriam Cicero orator clarissimus Romae factus est. Anno 688 a. u. c. praetor delectus est. Post duobus annis consul, officium summurn civitatis, creatus est. Eo consule, conjur-ationem magnam Catilinae sup-pressitet iussit quinque ex conjur-atis interfici. Inimicus Ciceronis, CJodius nomine, effecit ut Cicero in exsilium iret. Annum unum in ex-silio mansit. Post suum reditum gubernator Ciliciae factus est. Post mortem Caesaris dux senator-urn factus est. Is quattuordecim orationes contra Antonium, qui po-testatem Romae ceperat, habuit. Propter has orationes Cicero, jus-su Antoni, Formiae a. d. VII Id. Dec. anno 708 a. u. c., interfectus est.
