SoPH-sENIOR PARTY

The Kicks Hall Sophomores enter
tanned the Seniors delightfully."- Thurs
day afternoon from five to seven in
the parlors of Kicks Hall. The fun
began with a puzzle contest which
consisted in putting together in the
shortest possible time pieces of a
card on which had been written the
word "Senior." Miss Francis Giles
and Miss Eva Phelps received the
prize in this contest. Interesting
games of "Seniors" similar to games
Of Hearts" followed in which the
prize, large red balloon, was award
ed to Miss Ruth Sisler, who had won
six out of eight games played, and
the BOBBY, dunce-cap, was given to
Miss Francis Giles.
After the games delicious refresh
ments were served. The Seniors were
presented with attractive favors in
the shape of small baseball bats in
which were concealed fans. As each
Senior received her favor, a verse
was read which gave glance into
her future.

TWO CHAMPION
ship GAMES
SATURDAYS FEATURE.
Grenada Captures Base Ball Event
And Winona Basket Ball BY Close
Margin.

Grenada High School won the
High School state championship in
base ball here last Saturday after
noon when the club representing that
school defeated the fast and scrappy
team from Batesvlle High. Both
teams played good ball as evidenced
by the score, q. to 3. The score was
tied in the seventh when a Grenada
batsman lined a hot one thru Wood
on second. The winning run was
made in the 7th also. d F
Wood, second baseman for Bates
vile. demonstrated that he knew as
much about hitting as does his broth
er, Spencer, and that not all the base
ball glory for the Wood family can
be claimed by his "big" brother.
Batesvile is furnishing S men for
the Ole Miss squad this year, and
yet the supply does not seem to be
exhausted.
Grenada played exceptionally good
ball thruout the game, and showed
that they have had excellent train
ing not only in the art of hitting the
pill but fielding it as well.
The batteries were: Tatum and
Wagner for Grenada and Land and
Nixon for Batesville. Umpires: Car
ney and Farmer.
No official score was kept, hence
the absence of the box score.
+tl. WinOna VS.. Saltillo. ti
The Winona High School girls
basket ball team was crowned State
High School champions last Saturday
afternoon when they defeated Sal
tillo High School by a score of 1917.
1t was nip and tuck thru-out the
game and it was only few minutes
before the whistle blew that the de-
Gliding score was made. Both teams
played excellent ball and showed
that they were not playing for the
mere fun Of playing. -a.<f
In spite of the hot weather the
game was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large number of High School visitors
and students.

FIELD EVENTS
CREATE ENTHUSIASM
WINS LOVING CUP.
Canton, Winona, Clarksdale, Grenada,
And Greenwood, Make Good
Showing.

The track and field events again
assumed the most important role in
the High School meet. The contests
were very close and there was con-
siderable friendly rivalry between
the contending High Schools.
Tupelo had the best balanced team
with Canton close second. Clarks-
dale had several stars in her group
and it is said that practically the
same men will represent the delta
city here again next year. Winona
put up bitter struggle and her men
gave an excellent account of them
selves. -
The men from Grenada showed
good training and rendered an excel
lent account of themselves. Green
wood also put her best foot forward.
The individual stars Of the meet
were A. J. and A. D. Reese, brothers,
of Tupelo; Morgan, of Winona;
Evans, Parker, and Smith of Canton.
The Reese brothers were the great
est point winners.
The time Of the running events
was slower than it would have been
on account of the circular dirt track.
For the condition of the track the
time may be considered excellent.
The High Schools will no doubt be
glad to know that Ole Miss will very
likely possess a modern cinder track
next year. s5 p

THE VICTORY.

There jostled along with the crowd in
the road
A youth on the highway Of life;
Impatient he clafed at the gall Of his
3 load, @
The crowd and the struggle and
strife.
When one he had passed yet others
were there,
Still speeding ahead up the grade;
With brothers and fellows unwilling
to share /. 81
The load that depressed and dis
mayed.
A'sudden there struck him a tho't of
By which he might hope to excel. ~
He paused for moment to bask in
his dream,
And then for it's sophistry fell.
"Twas Wealth that would aid him in
reaching the goal
And help him along in the quest;
So. blocking the way, he collected q
For right of the way from the rest.
With Wealth he was able to captain a
tank
All builded and armoured Of steel;
And numbed by the din of its rat
tie and clank,
He heard not the grcans under
wheel.
Unheeding the cries of the frightened
and manned,
Not caring for dying or dead,
He took from the foremost the place
he had claimed
And came to the river ahead.
Alas, twas so deep, and the foot
bridge so light
His tank for the crossing was vain.
So summoning Fame he betook him
to flight
And mounted the sky in a plane.
Across the cold Styx on the hilltop
beyond
The Haven now came into view;

HOW FAR

Land of departed souls how far away
Art thou with all thy misty airy
forms;
And is thy veil the skies and clouds
of gray
To shield thee from our sunshine and
our storms?
Hast thou a gate unfastened and
ajar,
That dear ones over earth may take
their flight;
And art thou placed upon some
shining star,
That we may oft behold thee in the
night?
Hast thou a band to watch above us
here;
And do they bring us warning in our
Dreams.
The strange foreboding of some dan
ger near,
That guides US past by strange mys-
FERROUS means?
Is there a road direct from earth
to thee,
Or must we cross a sea to reach thy
strand?
Thru water, earth or air, where'er it
be,
Teach me the way to come Q spirit

No fairy could ever produce with her

The sight he approached as ne

But now when in. sight Of the coveted

With the promptings of Fame as his

Desire for applause overpow'ring his

He turned for vanity ride.
Far over the heads of the oncOming

Performing the feats every one,
Triumphant, cxultant he drifted along
And came where his race had be-

While lingering a moment high over

He looked on it now with disdain;
When To-! without warning down,
downward he shot!
| Attempts at controlling were vain.
All bloody and limping he crawled

And struggled again with the
throng.
1t proved to be hopeless for him; for,
alas,
The victory's unto the strong.
Unmindful Of self he now summoned
to him
The spirit of Service as aide,
And did what he could that the others
might stem
The flood-tide of trouble he'd made.
Some victims he found of his reckless

Remorseful and bitter his tears!
He bound up their wounds and then
led them clear
Of burdens they'd carried for years.
He walked with the rest till the set

SO long as the prospect Of some other

A light as from Heaven now burst

Surprising in glory the sun;
Behold. it was that he had seen on

Tuesday afternoon the Red and

Hamper Park. Capt. Carney occu-
pied the mound for Ole Miss and
Montgomery twirled for the Normal
From the beginning it developed in
to a pitchers battle, very few hits
being allowed on either side. The
score remained 90 for seven innings
when one of the teachers crossed the
plate on an error. The Red and Blue
lads seemed unable to get their eye
ON the ball after that and so the
score remained 10 with the Norman
ON the big end. And so the first de-
feat of the season was marked up
on Ole Miss ledger.

and to ascertain whether everything that
made the republic great was right or wrong.
