|L|THS WORK OUT WITH CROSBY 5
K. of L. and High School Boys Drill Tonight for
 Tough Games

The Knights of Lithuania Speed- boys will practice at 7:30 o'clock to- night at Wilby high gymnasium in preparation for Saturdays game with the Meriden Endees.
 Bill Schofield's Crosby squad will scrimmage with the team to help condition it for the struggle ex- pected with the Meriden team which will be aching to avenge last weeks seven-point licking.
 The Liths appear to be resting on their laurels, which may prove to be most unfortunate for them, as the Meriden club is out to square matters in no uncertain manner. Capt. Henry zajac, Eddie Gormley, Pete Colanski, Walt Urban, Joe Du- dek and the rest of the Endeemen are inclined to pass off last weeks debacle as lone of those things" and are confidently pointing to Sat- urday nights game and what they claim will be an easy victory. And they may be right, unless the K. of L. gang comes down from the clouds and gets down to real hard work and displays some more of the fight that carried them to victory last week.
 The Meriden Boys club team will face the St. Joseph's Holy Name five in the preliminary game Satur- day night

THE SOUND OF ). THE
BELL
Over the seas raving hell
THE sTEADYING VOICE OF
THE BELL
Over the howl and the yell
THE UNBRoKEN STRENGTH
OF THE BELL!
A hurricane. Horror beyond
belief. He'll let loose and death
hurtling the waves. Moment
after moment, until your own
consciousness crumbled before
it until you, yourself, we're
battered and beaten beneath
it
Yet. deep in its horror high
over its hell THE HEART
EN1NG SOUND OF THE BELL.
And so, through the blindness
of the storm, they fought their
Wdy and found their peace
and clutched Gods final
blessing into their frightened
hearts before they passed,
those poor, doomed children OF
the Southern Sea.
And never once - however
dark the way or muddled the
method-has it ceased to give
haven, hope and comfort for
those who sought its shelter!
So easy to criticize! But II
you've ever been lost in a storm
if you've ever felt the hor-
ror and hell of heart-break and
terror and shame in your life
YOU'LL MEM B E r
THAT BELL. AND BE GLAD!
Once, twice, three times sat
through it seeing it only IN
bits through the tears in my
eyes and the terror in my heart.
And when I came out, it was
late and dark and the same
old hurt and loneliness were
waiting for me, as they always
do =.
But for once, there was some
thing else. There was the sound
of the bell.
AND I THOUGHT HOW
