Field Ball
On Wednesday, November 3rd, the
Stockton field ball team journeyed
here to try their luck with the POGO
moke 'rDepaters The home girls had
won every game before and they were
determined to win this one as well.
During the first half of the game,
the path of the wind was with POGO
moke and they kept the other side
from scoring while they chalked up
8 points.
However, during the second half,
things did not run so smoothly, Tor
the wind was against Pocomoke and
the Stockton girls put the ball thru
the goal twice, ending the game by
score of 8-4.
The game created much more inter-
est during the first half than the sec
ond half, for during the latter half the
rules were not observed as much and
the whistle had to be blown quite a
few times for both sides.
AS was stated before, Pocomoke
girls have won every game they have
played thus far and are looking for
ward to the game with Snow Hill next
week.
Miss Margaret Cullen
The sympathy of the faculty, editor
ial staff, and students of Pocomoke
High School is extended to Miss Mar
garet Cullen who had the misfortune
to fall and break her ankle. Miss Cul-
len is instructor of English in the
Annapolis High School and she for
merly held the same position here. AL
though her foot is still in cast, she
has returned to her work and we hope
she will not suffer any set back.
Our SchOOl-Its Ideals
OuT SCHOOl UeHeNSS LIldC Illc IuSn-
est service it can render to the youth
of today is to prepare its students for
life. To teach them through the class
room, the library, the laboratories, the
chapel, and the sports field the value
of intellectual achievement of sound
character and of discriminating judg-
ment. 1t seeks to train the students
minds to think accurately and intelli-
gently so that they may enjoy what
they have learned and apply it to their
own conditions of life so that their use
fulness to others may be greater.
The students in turn cooperate fully
in these ideals The government is
