THE HIGH SCHOOL QUIVER 23 And there was Lambert safe at first And Morrissey at third. “Then Stanton Cook, the next man up, With all his power swung; And all the region round about With that great impact rung. ... “The ball it traveled with such speed That O ye Heavenly Powers !— It sailed above the right-field fence, And victory was ours!” So thus that old Fan told his tale And left the spot straightway. The Pitcher went with mind intent , And won his game that day. HARRY J. LEON, ’14. ALUMNI NOTES 1888 Charles F. Harper, Brown, ’92, is Principal of the Central High School, Syracuse, N.

The visitors scored twice; nd hopes of victory were fled As birds of Paradise. “And when Woonsocket came to bat, The first two men struck out; And now the game seemed truly lost Beyond the slightest doubt. “Then Morrissey stepped to the plate, He hit and reached his base; Now once again a ray of hope Lit up each true fan’s face. “And next came Lambert up to bat, A mighty crash was heard ;
