The bonfire which reflected upon the
skies above the city park and when
could be seen for miles around Barre
late last night reflected not only a mas.
siye fire but also red hot flame OF
emotion that was coming from more
than hundred Spaulding students
who after learning of the Waterbury
high school victory over Burlington
high, which placed Burlington in sec
ond place Of the Northern Interscholas-
tic Basketball league, had left Their
homes to spread the tidings Spaulding
high is champion.
Upon nearly every store window in
the city they left manifestations OF
their gIee or results of the Waterbury
Burlington game. and with tin pans
and other devices serenaded much OF
the town,
Spaulding not only had won the
championship OF the league, but had
won title for all time TO the silver
cup, which in 1916 was placed before
the schools of nothern Vermont as a
trophy to the school which first won
the championship three years.
The silver cup since last year has
rested at Montpelier high school but
will be brought to Spauding to remain
permanently. becoming now the pos
session of the school The cup was hrst
placed as trophy in 1915. Burlington
high winning it the first year, MontPel-
ier high in 1917, Spaulding high IN lals
and 1919. Montpelier high in 1920 and
Spaulding in 1921.
Though Mr.. Swaffield of Montpelier
had chosen the Burlington team, has de-
cision was subject TO change providing
Waterbury won: in fact the team 10
represent the northern part Of the state
rested with this game. Had burlington
won the game OF last evening there was
doubt about her choice over Spauid-
inc even then since st Aibans was
about to protest the game Of last
week. which gave Mr.. Swaifield reason
10 believe he had made an incorrect
choice as to the most competent team
from the north.
Spauldings record for tine season is
a very good one. and the season classed
as one of the best the school ever eNpe-
rienced in all wavs. The team from the
beginning showed mp well and contin-
uailv improved with the season, com
