At a meeting Of the Athletic Asso

elected temporary base ball captain
Mac is just the man for the place. HI
has been one of the leading player:
of the High School since his enroll
ment He is quick witted, aggressive
and good judge of the worth of a
player. He has decided that he will
play shortstop. A position in which
his talents will shine brightest.
As Mac believes in an early start,
the first practice was held Tuesday
evening. A large squad of promis-
ing players reported and with this
material Captain Mac will undoubt-

Sophomore Sputters.
OF all sad words of tongue or pen,
OF all sad things within my ken,
OF many deeds in many years,
OF many acts to bring sad tears,
The Juniors gave program.
The Juniors really did give, pro-
gram. Yes, it was d marvellous thing.
They got right up on the stage and
said things and sung things and ,hen
read more things. Anybody would
have known them to be Juniors. No
body else would have the face to
wear such remarkable garb. Many
OF the tortured spectators thought
that some circus had strolled into
town and loaned the High School
their animal exhibit Nothing was
missing but the cages.
Sister Funk in neat but unauthor-
lied little article wonders why we
did not join in the yelling. We did
not notice any yelling. When ask
ed friend if he had heard it, he re-
piled that he had heard something
but that when he was just getting in
terested pin dropped and the spell
was broken.
However those who were seated
on the front row said that the pro-
gram was good. We will have to
give it to the Juniors. They can get
up good program.
In the Sophomore history class
there is lot of excitement over the
contests. The sides lead by Helen
Maxey and Ethel Coonrod are in the
lead at present.
''The Liberty Boys of '76" is the
story many have selected for English.

All the classes except the Fresh c

that the Freshmen were wearing 4.
their compilations for st. Patrick.

Freshmen Flurries.
The poor Senior reporters brain II
must be terribly racked from writing Il
such long and tiresome notes as were II
seen in last weeks papers. AS for
entertaining the Seniors no such ri
thoughts have entered our heads. d
Of course as the Senior scribe says :
The Seniors are venerable and re- b
;pect is due them" but this only n
proves that the old maxim, "Age be- b
ore beauty" is true.
All the Freshmen are doing good S
york and are having some fine con- c,
ests in history. Mrs. Hill has pro- b
'ided a guard-house for the nom O
