3 - seen Alonzo? 2,

Have you seen Alonzo?"
j This query has a special pertinence
just now among the young athletes Of
St: .Joseph's school. Tenth and Howard
streets. The track squad took an out
ing Washington's birthday at Visi-
tscion and held an informal track
meet In the course of the days fun
the boys from St Joseph's ran across
a sprightly, spotted terrier, the exact
REPLICA Of Yardley's famous creation.
So familiar to the readers of the Junior
Call
The stumpy tailed ki-yi was named
Alonzo on the spot and installed as
mascot Of the track team. He accom-
panied the youngsters homeward and
was safely slowed away for the night
on the school premises Alonzo was
a happy omen.
Next morning grief and CONSERVATION
assailed the ranks Of the Howard street
athletes: Alonzo had flown the coop.
Frantic search has thus far failed to
looate the missing mascot, though the
boys Of the school are sanguine OF
success in their search. They sun
cherish the hope that when st. Joseph
lads take their place in the big parade
at the Auditorium the evening Of March
+Il AlOnzo proud and beribboned, viii
-tTot along with the team. But mean
Nhile the question runs, Have you
seen Alonzo2'
!. with Alonzo or without him, how
ever the St JOseph's lads look like
winners when there is question OF
sprinting and relay races As one OF
the diminutive lads Of the school rather
aptly put it, We lost our dog, but
nohody.s going TO get our goat Time

their work, with the result that pre-
paratory training has no terrors for
them. With the whole hearted support
of the teachers, notably Brother
Thomas and Brother Martin, the prin-
cipal these energetic lads are putting
the best foot forward and will surely
make q splendid showing when the Dis
meet takes place
