To a Cold Day

This BELTS the weather that has
engulfed us in its shroud of dismal
severeness.
Men walk down the streets, col
lars turned up, hats turned down;
women walk up the street, bend
ing under the force of the wind
dogs run up the street, tails be-
tween their legs and clouds of
steam issuing from their painting
mouths; cats howl under the win
dow as they see the reflection of
the warm fire; birds are gone,
flowers are gone; trees stand like
skeletons with their limbs shellack-
ed with ice; horses pant under the
load of fire wood they haul to some
home; and the sky looms grey
above it all. In such a shroud, the
whole world greets you in your
glory. We hail you, victor of the
day, o Winter, as you overcome
the whole world. We surrender
ourselves to a cold day and shiver,
looking forward to the spring.

First-Rate Information

The Jolly Juniors" of 1885 are
very enthusiastic abou their vari-
GUS schemes for making money for
their trip to Washington next year
They have just recently taken over
the sandwich and candy counter
from the seniors. Although the
supply is low, they earnestly hope
the new supply will come in a few
days. Meanwhile business is going
along fine. We love it and surely
hope we don't lose any of it. The
Junior play has been chosen, and
later on, we are planning to give
a card party. We shall need the
support of the public in this. Don't
fail us. So far, these are our most
important plans, so if they turn out
for the best, we shall soon make
others. These plans mark the first
steps of the Seniors of 1896 in their
business career and interests.

Snow and Basketball

The sports at the school have
been stopped completely. With
the drops of rain which fell before
the snow, all games were postpon-
ed until some future date. Practice
was also stopped because of the icy
roads.
But, thanks to the generosity of
the people of the st. Joseph School
in Clayton, we are able to practice
inside instead of on the outside
court we have at home.
With more practice and better
spirit the teams expect to win
most of the future games.

a stretch of walk where some kind

With a perfect feeling of secur-

Athletics

Displaying good passing anC
team work, the first and seconC
boys basketball teams won a
double header at Fiddletown Fri
day against the Junior teams OF
that school. Our second team
started with the same lineup that
had already won from St. Georges
and Delaware City. Clayton got
off to a good start and at the holt
had 1877 advantage. In the sec
ond half the opponents rallied but
we were able to win by a 16 to II
score. Pryor, with s points, and
Mabrey, with 4 points, were our
leading scorers.
Our varsity team, determined to
win its first victory in three starts,
took the court with the same play
ers. However, Cole was switched
to guard and Stewart became our
center This combination worked
well and was able to gain 9 to
lead at the half. Many easy
shots were missed by our side In
the second half we were able to get
the range of the basket and were
able to win the game by the score
of 1877. Our boys displayed excel
lent teamwork. Cole, with 10
points, was the high scorer of this
contest.
We play at Middletown again
this Tuesday afternoon and at Del
aware City Friday night.

Spring

When in the course of events it
becomes dry enough to canter out
into the open without wearing all
the clothes you own, then Spring
will have come.
Only vague idea of Spring re-
mains in my mind. Sunshine and
green good earth, however, are as
sociated with it.
1t vii be possible also to walk
without caters, too. And one
doesn't have a "code" all the time
either.
Children can play with things
other than snowballs flowers and
such and bask in the blessed
warmth and their hearts run over
with joy and mirth.
Ah, but twill be a happy day
when this Spring, if there is such a
thing, ambles in.

nNE of the most delicious of pies
~ is a combination of fig and rhu-
barb. This unusual combination of
fruits, and the criss-cross crust
which it demands are what makes
the pie a bit difficult. Figs do not
require much cooking and will get
all that they need while the pie is
baking. There is not much juice to
start with, but the rhubarb will sup
ply some liquid as it cooks. Gran
berries may be used until rhubarb
comes into the market.
For this pie Miss Alice Bradley.

Yes, I think Margaret, the ath-

that white knitted suit, plain but
beautifully done. I think that
would suit her type well, and it
would go well with her brown skin.
Why look over therel See that

enue itself. What a bored express
sion, and look at the affected way
she talks. Although for all this
you have to give her credit. She is
a very beautiful girl. My, hope
she sees that lame evening dress
with that sable wrap It would
make her as conspicuous as she
liked, and she would still be very
alluring.

quiet? Oh-yes, / see. That bit
of loveliness standing in the door

American Debutante" 1t seems to
me she will need no help in selec-
ton of her gowns. She looks as
though she were sensible, and
knew that clothes must be picked
to match the personality.
Well, our two hours are up and
we must venture on. We must
leave all this loveliness and go
back to our own quiet home. But
we realize that we should be
thankful that we can pick our
clothes to suit our personalities.
We are glad that he have learned
that modern women don't dress
with frivolous taste but with
thought and good sense.
Remember, not everyone is bless
ed with good looks, but everyone
can acquire pleasing personality
and then dress up the personality
with good taste in their clothes.

ma. The junior play, Girl Shy,
featuring Warner Price as Tom
Arsdale and Nancy Slaughter as
Babs.
The opening night of the new

cast prepared to give Girl Shy,
q three act comedy: Tom, who is
girl shy, Warner Price; Oke. who
isn't, Jack Magill; Babs, herself in

Bells

Bells
Bells are electrically operated
devices used for the purpose of des-
ignating the time, announcing GER
tain events, or to announce the ar
rival of a peddler or an unwanted
relative at your front door. How
ever, it is to the first use that l
have devoted this article.
There is, to ringing bells, an art
which has been acquired but by
very few people. In Smyrna High
it is customary for monitor to
ring the bells. This, in my opin-
ion, is a most unsatisfactory ar
rangement, for the simple reason
that a monitor does not know how
to ring the bells to get the best
results. For example, the bell to
change class is usually long and
tiresome. This is unnecessary be-
cause the pupils have had their
books closed and been awaiting the
bell for fifteen minutes, so it does
not require any more than slight
ring to start the stampede for the
door. Secondly, when Mr.. Schartz
desires the presence of a teacher
or the janitor and has the bell rung
for that purpose, that bell should
never be on time; rather it should
be five minutes late. This will
cause Mr.. Schantz to work himself
into a frenzy, and thus when the
desired person arrives, he will be
able to get the full benefit of the
lecture because the lecturer by
that time will have become quite
enraged. Finally there is the fire
bell, one of the most improperly
T1mg bells ON the list. This bell is
always loud and long; SO loud, in
fact, you can almost hear it with
the naked ear. This is quite
wrong. This bell should be soft
and soothing, one pleasant to hear.
If the building is ON fire and all
exits are shut off, why ring it at
all. You can't get out. Even if
the building is ON fire, there is no
danger at all; Smyrna has a fire
company. These are but few of
many defects in bell ringing, but,
until later date, / shall withhold
from the public the remaining few.
