MY SCHOOL Of all the schools in the East or West, I love my school by far the bestg The Winthrop High School we love so well, Of which to you some things I'll tell. 'The building is so nice and new, With classrooms lighted well the whole day through, And in its long and roomy halls, Pretty pictures hang on the walls. The teachers are so very kind, The best that we could hope to findg We learn to read, and write, and spell, And thus for life they prepare us well. We exercise twice 'a week in the gym To keep our bodies fit and trim, You must practice every day If on the basketball team you wish to play. To this school I shall always loyal be, For it has done great things for meg For Winthrop High I'll boast aloud, Because of it I'm very proud. M. B., '35. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN If Norris Burns got to school on time? If Augustus Hanson didn't try to en- tertain? If the eighth-grade girls won a basket- ball game from the seventh grade? If Lewis Chaffee didn't have to stay after school every night? JUNIOR HIGH ATHLETICS Winthrop Junior High wound up their basketball season with a record of three wins and four losses. The play this year has shown up some very prom- ising material, with Maxim and House showing up best for next year's varsity. Both of these players have already par- ticipated in varsity games. Promising material is in sight for this team with the Midgets' team, which has won and lost a game with the Richmond midgets.

'iuillllillwlllflll fUNIOR HIGH DEPARTMENT A NARROW ESCAPE It was a bright sunny morning in the little town of Telay, situated on the edge of an African jungle. It was about ten o'clock when my friend, Jimmie, and I ate breakfast in the little inn of the town. We had arrived only the day be- fore and had to catch up with the rest of the hunting party that were camping a few miles beyond the village in the jungle. Shortly after breakfast we were ready to start on our journey. It began to get exceedingly hot, and the flies and bugs seemed to bite harder and more than ever as we got deeper into the jungle. We ate our lunch, consisting of nice sandwiches, cool iced tea and ginger ale, under an overhanging bow of a large tree which gave some relief from the hot sun. It now began to get real dusky in the jungle, though it was only about five o'clock. Of course the large trees and the thickness of the branches caused the darkness. Jimmie was some way behind me when I saw a movement among the tall grass and reeds. Then I heard a rustle and there came into the opening a lion- ess which was, as it seemed, in search of food and very angry she appeared to be. She paused-looked at me a few secondsg I was terrified, a cold chill ran up my back, my hair was like bristles, and beads of perspiration stood upon my forehead. She leaped and I saw no more, for suddenly I found myself among a heap of blankets and pillows and what a grand awakening! Certainly my own bedroom never be- fore seemed such a real haven of peace. R. B., '35.
