THE CRIMSON AND GRAY 19 Secrets of the Movies While the faces on the film depicted every human emotion, one person in the audience sat and gigs-led. Yon see, he was deaf and so had learned to read from the lips. Thus he could see what the actors were saying. It was something like this : Hero— How is your husband, Maggie? Heroine— Oh, pretty fair, thanks! Come on ! Show a little anxiety over this kiss or you ' ll spoil the picture. Hero — I ' m showing as little as possible. Heroine — Don ' t make me giggle. This is supposed to be serious — the last kiss be- fore death us do part ! Hero — That so? I haven ' t read the scenario yet. Heroine — That chap with the long hair who ' s been running around here lately wrote the story. They say it ' s a knockout. Hero— That ' s what they always say, isn ' t it? Silence for a few moments while the hero ' s lips cling lingeringly to those of the heroine. Hero — I wonder if the director is going to call this a day ' s work? Heroine — I hope so. I want to go home to the baby. Hero — And I ' ve got an appointment with a dentist. Heroine — Thank Heaven, that ' s all for today ! Hero — Hurrah ! Well, good-bye Maggie, until the next kiss !

For stirring the heart there is nothing like a first class spoon with a pretty girl. The word jazz is of African origin. It is found in the Creole patois and idiom of New Orleans, where it means speeding up things. The Creoles adopted it from the Negroes and applied it to rudimentary and syncopated music. Women will not grieve over getting the ballot by a narrow margin, if they can be convinced that narrow margins arc fashion- able. :, ' .; Plants with while blossoms have a larger proportion of fragrant species than any others. EXCHANGES I am the Hilltop , a hue resume of the year ' s school play and sports at Warren High School. 1 am interesting, for one reason, be- cause of many cuts and pictures. I have not many jokes, but those I have are very good. I am the Boston University Beacon . You will find in me many interesting stories. poems and editorials. I am the Aegis from Beverly. A full account of the graduation will be found in my Commencement Number, but my school is very serious for I contain no jokes. My athletic and exchange departments are among the missing also. I am the Lincolnian from Maine. Of course I ' m not very large, but you will find in looking me over that good things often come in small packages. Other exchanges : The Emblem Southington, Conn.

The result was astonishing. There was candy and then some but it was all sold. A cupie doll was also raffled off. Cupies seem to be the fashion in High School. Miss Sheehan was the lucky one this time. About $30 was realized on the sale.

ATHLETICS FOOTBALL During the last week of September Coach Goodreau called for candidates for the foot- ball team. About twenty men reported at the Central street playgrounds. Most of the time was spent in falling on the ball, kick- ing. Passing and line bucking were also practiced to a great extent. After practice Coach Goodreau promised to have Flynn, one of the Holy Cross star back field men, come to Southbridge to give the squad some plays and to show the team how college foot- ball is played. The next Saturday the play- ers walked up to Capt. MacKinstry ' s farm for practice. Coach Goodreau introduced the team to Flynn and a friend of his who had accompanied him from Worcester. Flynn soon had our team lined up and gave us some formations and plays that Holy Cross had used against Harvard a week be- fore. The practice lasted about three hours, and it was the most strenuous one of the sea- son, but the team was well pleased at the way things were running. After that, the team practiced on the playground under Coach Goodreau ' s direction. Shine Pierson, star south-paw of the A. O. Co., came out and gave the team some points. Season ' s Games S. H.

The score of 13 to 7 does not show at all the real strength of the High School against its opponents. Duck Duclos and Tiger Tetreault scored the touchdowns for Southbridge. Tetreault gave fine exhibition of line-bucking. Capt. MacKinstry and Duclos got away with some fine end runs; the whole line played an exceptionally fine game. Lineup : SOUTHBRIDGE— 13 Lavalee, r.e.

The Palmer team out- weighed Southbridge 20 lbs. to a man, but were out-played by the plucky Southbridge eleven.
