The High School Debates

On Friday night, April Z, our affir-
native team, consisting of Dorothy
Beachley, 20, and Grady Finch, "a,
chosen by the faculty to uphold the
question, Resolved that the closed
shop would benefit the nation as a
WHOLE" met and contested in worthy
battle of argument with their oppo-
nents, Ohio Keller and John Wood Of
Boys High School of Frederick.
This question was debated among
all the High Schools of the county
that evening. Each school had an af-
firmative team who debated at home
and negative team who visited some
other high school.
The home debate was without a
doubt splendid one, and much credit
is due both sides.
The judges, Messrs. Sherman Bow
ers, Deems Zihler and Samuel Nc
Bride, decided in favor Of the negative.
The program also included school
songs and yells, instrumental and vo-
cal music.
Soon Mr.. Brechbill entered the audi
forum and announced that our mega
tive team, Katharine OToole and Car
roll Tyson, had won against Catharine
Burgee and Julia Abbott of the Girls
High School, Frederick. This news
was received with many cheers and
greatly revived our dropping spirits.

ATHLETICS

The spring athletic season is in full
swing as anyone can see who walks
out to the school grounds during ath-
letic period. There they will find
everyone engaged in some game.
The larger boys play baseball; the
others, dodge ball; while those who
aren't engaged in playing either of
these practice various other stunts,
such as jumping and running.
Field Day is a great attraction,
everyone looks forward to this day
with joyous anticipation. 1t means
work, and hard work, but not without
a reward. Medals are awarded for
various things. Bronze, silver and
gold are given and who. is there who
is not proud to be able to wear them?
The girls have athletics also. Those
of the High School are divided into
two groups, one playing Volley Ball
with Miss McCaffery as coach, the
other Captain Ball, with Miss shipley
as coach. Each group has a team
which will play in Frederick on Field
Day. We wish them success, and feel
that it will be theirs.
The grades play Dodge Ball and
they too have their teams to put on the
field in Frederick.

dollars the only things Of value I had
with me. They then went on their
way leaving me to get loose the best I
could. Finally, after struggling
hard I got loose.
II think it must have been about
four o'clock when l discovered that l
was really lost. l gave up all ex-
pectations of finding my path. Then
I started toward the north but the
progress l made was slow indeed.
Every minute seemed an hour and
every step a mile in that thick tan
gled forest. Then, descending the
slope, thought I heard the roar of
the river, but on pausing short time
found it only to be the wind among
the branches of the trees. was very
sorry when came to this conclusion,
because knew if / reached the river l
could easily follow it to the camp.
"Then going on down the slope ]
found that / was actually in a ravine.
l knew this would never put me on the
path, so l turned back and travelling
onward reached a dark swampy place
ahead of which was stream. This, l
thought, perhaps led to the river. l
made at once for it but soon found
myself in mud over the ankles. New
ertheless l had to reach that stream
so kept on going.
"On reaching it found it led to the
river. This was exactly what ! was
wishing for.
"My steps grew faster and soon |
stood on that blessed rivers bank.
Never was l so happy as then. Then
on following it soon came in sight Of
"Glenburn".
"Well", said the boys, edo you think
is safe for us to stay here?"
81 don't know, but never want to
have another such adventure"
They talked the matter over and on
the next morning the four New York
boys broke camp and returned to the
city.

The Broom Brigade

On Thursday of just the other week,
Said John, Unto the auditorium let us
sneak"
So right along came Grady and Sam
"Hey, Kelly, aren't you coming too"
ayes, indeed am, I'm right with YOU
First they started right off to dance
And played the piano when they had a
chance.
And then that terrible Johnny Jones,
Threw Grady down and most broke
his bones.
Sam had his pockets filled with candy
eggs,
And for some of these each had to beg
But he gave them some, just these
four,
And they threw them at each other all
over the floor.
But alas! in came Mr.. Brechbill
Who asked them if they had had a
spill.
"Now everyone get out of this room,
Go right down stairs and get broom
Sweep the floors and don't you shirk
Until you have finished all your work. !"
1t was right funny to see them sweep,
But later when they to their beds did
creep,
They talked of brooms and eggs in
their sleep.
Now! hearken, We girls each will make
a good man,
For they've learned how to use a
broom and dust pan.
