The siXty-eighth anniversary of
the birth of Theodore Roosevelt
was fittingly celebrated by the pu-
pills of the Lewes public schools on
Wednesday, October 9th. In prep
aration for this event the Junior
| Glass, under the direction of Mr..
George H. Henry of the English de-
partment, made a twO-weeks' study
OF the life of Theodore Roosevelt.
| The results of this study were eX-
pressed in series of essays on
different phases of Roosevelt's life.
At the morning assembly, with Mr..
H. E. Ewing, '27, acting as chair
man, Miss Comfort Ingram deliv-
cred the first essay on the EARLY
Life of Theodore Roosevelt. This
was followed by Joseph Martin,
who, in his remarks, spoke of
Roosevelt's love of nature and his
great fondness for his children and
their friends, all of whom looked
upon the great president as COM
panion and playmate. Other essays
were given by Misses Clara Wilson,
Ruth Greenly and Hazel Joseph,
who spoke of ROosevelt's Foreign
Policy, Presidency and World Hon
ors respectively. The poem Saga
more, written by ROOsevelt's sis
ter, was given by Mrs. Carl David
son. The program concluded with
the singing of ROOsevelt's favorite
hymn, and a peppy march b ythe
High School Orchestra.
Lewes High School took the meas
Ure of the Bridgeville High School
hooters, in their second game of the
season. Saturday. The final score
read 80. The preceding week they
tied Harrington High School with a
score 90. Lewes won the toss and
elected to defend the west goal with
the wind in their backs. After fail
ing to score by a narrow margin in
the first few minutes, the local boys
found themselves and by superior
passing and bOoting, scored three
goals in rapid succession. At this
point Ennis, one of the handspring
of the Lewes forward line, was
banished to the showers for an in
: fraction of playing rules and Lewe;
, finished the remainder of the hal
; with ten players. During the sec
ond half the ball was taken from
, one end of the field to the Othe
time after time, but each team
= seemed to lack the necessary puncl
to net a goal. The work of Captain
: Graft and Jones stood out for tn
Bridgeville team, although tn
team as a whole proved to be
,, /, well-balanced combination. On tn
defense Lodge and goal-keepe
l Short again proved their strength
