SNOW HILL VS. BERLIN
On Tuesday night, February 9, the
Snow Hill girls challenged the Ber-
lin Girls in the first scheduled coun-
ty game of the season. During the
first quarter of the game it looked
as though the Snow Hill girls had for
gotten the technique of basketball.
At the end of the half a score of 11-8
in our favor encouraged us to get
into the game. In the third quarter
of the game, the password, the shoot
ing and the game as whole reveal
ed to the onlookers that the Snow
Hill girls could play basketball. With
the cheering and the gradually ris-
ing score the Snow Hill six rode to
a victory of 29-14.
SNOW HILL VS. POCOMOKE
With the thoughts that the first
game of the season had been a Sue
cess for us, the Snow Hill girls Gag
erly entered into the second game at
which time we were challenging Po-
comoke. From the time the whistle
signaled the start of the game to the
time when it closed it, the Snow Hill
team realized they had opposition.
The game was not slow, but one in
which the Snow Hill girls seemed to
be making little Roadway over their
opponents. At the close of the first
half of the game the score rested in
the hands of Pocomoke by a lead of
seven points. The Snow Hill team
realized that although they were not
in the lead they still had a chance.
However even with this hope to urge
them the game closed by score of
1923 in favor of Pocomoke.
THE ROSE
The Senior Class of '37 has chosen
for their class flower the Rose. There
are several reasons why we have
chosen this to be our class flower.
First, it has a look of beauty and
richness which appeals so strongly to
our artistic sense! and second, because
it is the universal symbol of love.
And we, as we graduate. are very
much in love with life and all it's
lovely gifts. So today our love is
at it's best. Just as "The rose is
fairest when tits budding new; the rose
is sweetest washed with morning
dew" We know that there is much
ahead of us that will reveal itself in
even more marvellous radiance than
this we have been able to absorb in
these early stages of our career. We
will be called upon to demonstrate
many different phases of the per-
fected manhood and womanhood for
which we have been preparing the
way. We will not develop all this
at once, however. The rose does not
bloom in a minute. 1t must unfold
gradually from the bud, opening up
petal by petal and leaf by leaf. We
must, therefore, grow slowly but sure

ly into the rose of perfect charac-
ter, emerging little by little from the
buds of our obscurity, until the world
is ready for our penetration into the
affairs of life.
But, even as we go, we leave be-
hind our blessing and the aroma of
our association here as an overriding
influence and source of inspiration to
those who are to come after us.

BASKETBALL

The Maroon and Black cage team
met with defeat in each of two games
last week. The first encounter was
with Berlin on Tuesday night and the
second with Pocomoke on Friday
night. The game with Berlin was a
rough and tumble affair with on
team having as much chance as the
other to win. The final score was
1912 in Berlin's favor.
The game with Pocomoke was large
~ one Of experimentation. With the
realization in mind, that there will
be no chance for a championship this
year, Coach Corddry has decided to
turn his efforts toward producing a
winner next year. Accordingly, he be-
gan the game Friday night with a
team composed of Sophomores, Fresh
men, and Juniors; these boys all turn
ed in good performance as did the
others who played in the game dur
ing the End half. The scoring was
evenly divided among the cagers for
the first time this year. With two
Freshmen and three Sophomores on
the squad it looks as if the S. H. II.
S. quint will capture the title next
year and keep it for three or four
years thereafter.
SENIORS DEFEAT JUNIORS
The Senior Basketball quint troun
ced the Junior five to the tune of 14-4
on Friday of last week. The Seniors
were never really extended in repuls-
ing their opponents. A shifty, pass
ing attack usually worked the ball
toward the basket and a score re-
suited. A revised Senior lineup
proved very successful. Playing for
wards for the first time, Northam and
Price accounted for A points each,
while Disharoon, starring at left
guard, caused the ball to swish thru
the net three times for a total of
six points. Timmons and Northam
were responsible for the two Junior
tallies.
Juniors-Timmons, F; Pusey, F;

STATE TESTS
Last Friday, every high school pu-
pill was subjected to a state test that
will reveal the pupils reading ability
in science, in English, and in arith-
metic. "May the Snow Hill pupils
reach a standard as high as any in
the STATED" is the sincere wish of fac
ulty and students.
SELECTION OF CLASS RINGS
On Friday, February 5, the SEN
ior class met during the first period
in the afternoon, for the purpose OF
selecting class rings. Mr.. Godfrey
and Mr.. Vincent came to school and
brought with them samples of class
rings After selecting one from each
of the jewelers. collection, it was fin
ally decided that the class was in fav-
or of one presented by Mr.. Godfrey.
Our ring sizes were then taken and
the order was given.
