landed another. This second goal was
made on a foul when an Emmitsburg
player touched the ball with his hand
while in the penalty area. This gave
Thurmont a penalty kick. Foreman
kicked the ball to the goalkeeper, who
lay on the ball instead of throwing it
away. Late rushed in and kicked the
ball out from under him and this
scored the second point. Then En-
mitsburg came back with a rush for
our goal, and surprised the Thurmont
boys by kicking a goal. Both teams
worked hard the remainder of the
first half, but were unable to score.
The beginning of the second half,
both teams fought desperately but the
Emmitsburg team was unable to break
up some clever passes made by our
forward line which enabled them to
score another goal. The Emmitsburg
lads put up a sitter opposition from
then on until the end of the game.
When they were getting near our goal
one of their players was tripped, CIV
ing them a penalty kick which they
made good use of it for goal. After
this neither team scored. The game
was clean from the start to the finish.
Foreman, Joy and Rouzer played
the best game for Thurmont. Zim-
norman and Hays starred for En-
mitsburg.

The Glee Club

The Thurmont High School Glee
Club which passed through a success
full season last year, has started upon
another years work and also prom
ises to be better than last year.
When the senior class graduated last
June, it took from the glee club sew
eral of it's best singers. To fill these
vacancies With other girls was very
hard job and the task fell upon Mr.
Stull. He, therefore, with the aid of
Miss Shipley gave every girl in the
freshman class a chance to show
whether she possessed talent or not.
The vacancies are now filled and the
glee club is making promising pro-
gress in it's work with Mr.. Stull and
Miss Shipley as instructors.
Do not think that the girls in the
glee club are the only ones who have a
chance to sing. Every week, two
periods are used by Mr.. Stull in
teaching the boys and girls to sing.
You will find however in the glee
club the very best that Thurmont
High School can produce.

Thurmont Volley Team Victorious
Hurrah! Hurrah.

On Oct. 18th, Thurmont played and
won the opening game of the season
with Liberty, with the score 80 to a.
By the score one can easily see that
we didn't have to work hard to defeat
our opponents, we took the lead from
the first and kept it throughout the
game with the above result.
The opposing team contained true
sports. Girls who took their defeat
gracefully with not any show of anger,
and acknowledge US the better team.
We are eagerly awaiting our next
game with them, which if possible will
mean another victory for T. H. S.

Now there was loud and hearty ap-
plause which the Justice did not try
to check.
Completely discounted Broker left
the Office, shaking his fist at Mr..

get even with him. But as he passed
through the crowd he was greeted
with groans and Kisses and cries of
"Child-stealer!" "Kidnapper!" Coin

home like a whipped dog.
Marie was overjoyed at the result
of the proceedings, so different from
the hearing at Philadelphia that gave
her to Broker.
"Oh mother!" she exclaimed, en-
bracing her, "I'm so glad! Now ! can
go home with you, can't II"
eyes, my dear, you shall certainly
go home with u.s." replied her mother
no less glad than Marie.
The Synod, few days later, closed
its sessions, and Marie, riding once
more on her pony,set out with her pa
rents for her Maryland home in the
Catoctin mountains, from which she
had been taken by the Indians. How
her heart leaped for joy when she
saw again the beautiful hills and val
legs from which she had been an exile!
And what joyous homecoming it
was when, with father and mother,
brothers and sisters once more around
her, she stood in the old familiar room
of the little log house and realized
that now all trouble was past and she
was at home again!

soccer-Th;urmont VS. Liberty

On Thursday, October IL, the Thur
mont High School soccer team, four
teen strong, journeyed to Liberty to
take part in a contest against the
strong soccer team representing that
school.
Upon arriving at the playing field,
we were very much surprised to find
their team dressed in baseball uni
forms, football suits and every other
costume imaginable. We had expected
to see regular team, well organized,
with all the equipment that is needed
in soccer. We soon learned, however,
that as this was a first year team, it
hadn't had any experience. and con-
sequently didn't know much about
their uniforms.
Among the many other things that
we found out of order, was the field.
1t was very much smaller than the
ones we had been accustomed to play
on, being only about half the size of
ours. We were afraid to kick the ball
hard, as it either landed in one of
Liberty's fish ponds, which lay in the
lower part of the soccer field, or else
sailed into a negro's barnyard, which
lay at the other end. Another thing
was the side lines that surrounded the
field. Instead of using lime like we do
they decided to save time. So they
took a horse and pillow and furrowed
out two deep lines, ones that couldn't
very well be missed, one on each side of
the field. With all these difficulties
facing us we went into the game de-
termined to win; and we did, by the
very large score of 1870. On the for
ward line we had Horace Late, Ed
ward Foreman, Leroy VanHorn, Car
roll Harbaugh, Charles Hahn; and of
these five Mr.. Foreman deserves the
most credit, as he succeeded by his
masterful goal shooting in planting
nine goals between the opponents
posts. The whole forward line used
head work, and some team work; and
for this they all deserve credit. The
rest of the team used nearly all foot
work, especially Joy, who moved it
like shot out of a cannon. Once he
kicked it so far that time had to be
called until the ball could be recovered.
The game was loosely played, very
little team work being used by either
side. Our team, however, succeeded
in capturing the game in the first half
and then serving it up for sure in the
second.
The fray was soon over and in a
very short time we were headed to-
wards our home town, glad to get a
way from the quiet, peaceful little
village, which hasn't even soda
fountain or candy store.
The two teams are as follows:

An Account of the Hagerstown Fai

An Account of the Hagerstown Fair
The Washington County Fair was
held at Hagerstown, Nd, the week of
October 10. A great part of the local
industries had some of their products
on display. Included among them were
live stock, poultry, fancy work, pig
cons, rabbits, corn, grain and machin-
ery-mainly farm implements and
new inventions to tighten the work on
the farm.
There were larger and better stock
exhibits at the fair this year than have
been seen there for years. Mr.. Frank
M. Stevens of near Creagerstown, Md.
had some of his fine Dutch Belted cat
tie there and they brought all the first
prizes in their class. Mr.. Saml. Long
of Thurmont, entered several of his
fine chickens, one of which brought
third and another fourth prize. Be-
sides the local poultry there were ex-
hibits from many of the other states
and from Canada.
Many fine horses, both light driv-
ing and heavy draft, lined the stalls.
Nearly all the hog and sheep pens
were filled with fine stock.
Other attractions at the fair were
horse races, free open air circus at
fractions and stunts by United States
Cavalry and Artillery. Besides this
there were many sideshows of all de-
scriptions and many gambling places
in which to lose all the money one
had.
The attendance at the fair the open
ing day was small due to the large
rain which fell Monday night and all
day Tuesday. On account of the rain
only three races were held. They did
not seem to attract much interest, per-
haps because betting on races has been
barred from the grounds. The fair
association did not lose because it car
ried rain insurance of two thousand
dollars the first day, six thousand the
second day, ten thousand the third
day and two thousand the fourth day,
or total of twenty thousand dollars.
The second, third and fourth days
were greeted with sunshine and at
tended by large crowds.

Musical Organizations
The Band

In most of the high schools of Fred
erick County visitor will find band,
an orchestra, or a glee club. But a
visitor to the Thurmont High School
will be surprised to find three musical
organizations under one roof. There
fore why have we not right to be
proud of our school, when no other
school of our size in this county can
boast of three musical organizations?
Our high school band has been or
ganized for over two years and is very
popular in Frederick county, especially
with the citizens of Thurmont.
In former years during the holidays,
the band was unable to practice and
could only do so during school months,
but such was not the case this year.
Mr.. Warren Weller who is the b2~d's
leading musician, and who promises
some day to become Sousa's rival,
took charge of the band. Because the
boys We're unwilling to lay down their
instruments and were eager for prac-
tice, they elected Mr.. Weller to lead
them during the summer. 1t is very
interesting to know how successfully
he led the band at many festivals and
picnics. He also had the band in first
class condition when their band master
took charge at the opening of school.
With all of the old members full of en-
thusiasm and practicing three times a
week, the band should be gsater
success this year than ever before.

The Consolidated School

A consolidated school is school Il
which the people of different commu'
mites agree to send their children
The children are taken from theil
homes to the school by buses. A con-
solidated school has a teacher for ev'
cry class and different room for each
class.
There are many reasons why g
school of this sort is superior to 6
one room school. In the first place
the teacher can put more time on one
class and consequently can progress
more rapidly. Much more subject
matter is covered when one teacher
does not have all the grades. Then
too, when there is only one class ir
one room there is less confusion ant
more time for study.
In the second place the consolidated
school offers a greater variety and bet.
ter equipment. In a large school one
set of books can be used by many chill
dren; in small one the opposite con-
dition prevails. The county cannot
afford to equip adequately half dozer
little schools, whereas it can thorough
ly furnish one large centralized school
Athletics, the manual arts and train
ing in music, all three come with the
consolidated school.
In the third place, the outlook of the
child who goes out of his community
to school is broadened. He meets new
people, sees new surroundings, and
has a better chance to belong to the
organizations of boys and girls, such
as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
There is great opposition to consoli-
dated schools because the transporta-
ton has been poorly managed. The
children sometimes have had to wait
out in the cold and have had only open
buses to ride in. But this need not
be. The buses can be closed and
warm and run on time. The Western
States are closing one room schools
and building consolidated schools ev-
cry year. People are not opposed to
them out there. Let us learn from
the West.

AfterwOrd

The leading facts and incidents in
the foregoing narrative are historical,
being taken from the brief personal
memoir of the little heroine, written
by her at Ltitz, Pa. in later years, and
now in the Archives of the Moravian
Church there. For the privilege Of
perusing this memoir the writer Is in
debted to the kindness of his friend,
Mr.. Abraham R. Beck, Archivist of
the Moravian congregation at Lititz.
While the author of "Aholaha" has
introduced a number of historical
characters, he has necessarily been
obliged to invent others, as we'll as de-
tails not contained in the brief MEM
DIR, yet such as the consultation of va
rious authorities convinced him would
be possible and legitimate.
It only remains to be added that
some months after Marie's arrival at
home, she was taken by her father,
Casper Schmidt, to Bethlehem, where
she became an inmate Of the Sisters
House, in which at that time unmar-
ried women and young girls were pro-
vided with a comfortable home and
congenial employment; but which was
in no sense of the word, a convent,
such as our loved American poet,
Longfellow, depicts it in his we'll
known poem, "Pulash's Banner" AT
Bethlehem she spent several years
very happily, until her health failed,
and she went to Ltitz, in Lancaster
county, to receive treatment from a
specialist of that vicinity. Recovering
her health she lived for several years
in the Sisters House at Lititz, until n
recurrence of her illness, as the result
of a severe cold, proved fatal. She
passed away April 10, 1774, in her
twenty-eighth year, and her mortal re-
mains were laid to rest in the Nora
Wan cemetery at Lititz, Pa.

Volley-ThurmOnt vs Emmitsburg
Thurmont Volley Team Wins With
Score 24-1S


At two o'clock Tuesday afternoon
the volley ball team left T. H. S. for
Emmitsburg. Immediately upon our
arrival at our destination we dressed
and went out to the court. The court
was level. and really very good one
but the nett was so low that Doro-
thea White could almost step over it,
and so very loose that the ball took a
hammock ride in it every now and
then.
Our team, although working against
odds, played we'll. There was much
vollying done and our girls returned
the balls as fast as they came over.
Eloise and Ethel, our little midgets,
although small, were surely mighty in
this game. They sent the balls back
so fast that Emmitsburg could not see
them coming. Then when you think
of Webster and Dolly, well, wish ev-
cry one could have seen them. They
drove the balls to the ground with
such speed that Emmitsburg, although
they did get on their knees, couldn't
lift them up again. The balls which
came to the rear of the court were
disposed of readily by Evelyn, Kath-
leen and Mary.
Our boys stood by the girls through
out the game and by their cheering
helped the team to win its signal vic
tory. Twice have we been victorious
and what happens twice happens
thrice. So be it.
