medal and also an invitation to the
Farm Bureau Banquet to be held on
January IL in Baltimore.
At the banquet last year the Presi-
dent of the Farm Bureau observed
that very few awards were given to
Eastern Shore boys, but this year
Milton has come through as one of the
very few boys from the Eastern Shore
and the first from Snow Hill High
School to have proved worthy of this
honor. So here's hoping Milton will
be up at the banquet to receive his
much deserved medal.
GLEE CLUB NEWS
The regular monthly meeting of the
Glee Club was held on December 8,
1888 at seven-thirty.
The meeting was in four important
and interesting divisions: the busi-
ness meeting, the program, the carol
practice, and the social gathering.
During the business meeting, which
was carried on in accordance with par
liamentary procedure with the presi-
dent, Irwin Jones, presiding, the pro-
gram and social committees were ap-
pointed for next month. The club al
so decided on Christmas Eve to sing
carols around town beginning at the
community Christmas tree at nine
o'clock.
The program, second part of the
meeting, was opened very spiritedly
by a piano selection Jubilee March"
by Florence Laws. Evangeline Vim
cent then discussed the excellent all
girl orchestra of Phil Spitalny and adj
vised the members to listen to him.
AS this was a Christmas program the
next item, an interesting description
of different Christmas customs across
the country given by Hazel Disharoon
was fully enjoyed by the club. With
piano accompaniment by Miss Hum
phrey, Milton Laws played "Star of
the East" on the violin. The carol
"Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" and
Handelh messiah" were commented
on by Dick Leonard. Following this
discussion "Oh Little Town of Bethle-
hem" was sung by the club. A select
ed group also sang "The Hallelujah
Chorus" from "The Messiah" while
the club did honor to it by standing
as is the custom. The methods of
caroling in many different coutries
were then told by Rachel Hall.
"There's Song in the Air" by Ole
Speaks was sung by Evangeline Vim
cent. The unique origin of "Silent
Night" described by Sarah Brown fol-
lowed this. This carol was played in
a very beautiful arrangement by Cor
della Price and the program ended
with the clubs singing "Silent Night" "
The program having been enjoyed

MEETING AT DELMAR
STJTDENT COUNCIL ATTENDS

On Tuesday, December 13, 1888,
delegation of Snow Hill High School
Student Council members left Snow
Hill to attend a meeting of the Sus-
sex County League of Student Asso-
Citations. On arriving they were greet
ed by the principal of Delmar High
School.
When all of the many Delaware and
Maryland delegates had arrived,
dinner took place in two of the schools
rooms. Each school had its own speak
er and many interesting speeches
were given. The speeches OF the
schools, however, were expressions OF
annreciation. Milton Laws spoke for
Snow Hill. DR.. Justin c. Wood gave
a speech entitled "After Tomorrow
What, Democracy or Dictatorship"
which brought forth many good points
on today's world strife.
After the dinner the schools met IN
the auditorium to compete in an enter
tainment contest. A group of eight

tertainment, the judges announced
that Snow Hill had won first place.
The prize, five-pound box of candy,
was received by Irwin Jones whose
excellent solo had contributed largely
to our success.
After the entertainment, Miss Jones,

ing was short, but everyone had
fine time. The members are looking

uary 13, 1889.
DECORATIONS IN SENIOR ROOM
The senior home room is very inter-
estingly decorated this year. Besides
being adorned with the usual Christ
mas trimmings the room has an un-
usual display of the Madonnas. Small
copies of nearly all of the famous
paintings of Madonnas hang on all
sides of the room. Among the artists
whose paintings are displayed are
Raphael and Andrea Del Sarto. A
copy of Raphael's "Sistine Madonna"
and madonna of the Chair" and Del
Sarto's "Madonna of the Sack" are
some of the paintings that make the
room an ideal place for lover of ar
tistic work. 1t is very entertaining
to read the history of the Madon-
mas. 1t is said that Saint Luke paint
ed the first Madonna, but it was not
until A. D. that paintings of Madon-
mas began to increase in number.

SENIORS PRESENT CLASS PLAY
On Friday night, December 16, the
Senior Class presented the play Hob
goblin House to an appreciative aud
ience.
The witty remarks of the two color
ed servants, portrayed by Lingo Hud-
son and Norma Fowler, and of the
English maid, Evangeline Vincent,
kept the play moving along with hu-
NOR. Sarah Brown took the part of the
eccentric aunt who directed the course
Of events of two young girls, Mabel
Jackson and Ruth Browne who were
planning to marry two young men
contrary to the will of their father.
Albert Adams and Milton Laws were
the heroes who cleared away the mys-
terry of Hobgoblin House and won the
girls.
Mary Godfrey represented the kid
mapped girl; Luther Taylor, Blue
beard; and Bobby Sherkey, Bill Will
kins. The most difficult and most
dramatic part of the play was taken
by Irwin Jones who took the part of
Darius Krupp, the caretaker of the
house. Irwin was complimented for
his dramatic ability.
The entire class and the director,
Mrs. Phillips, received the comments
of praise with much satisfaction.
SCHOOL MOURNS LOSS OF PUPIL

one, in 1886, ended in a tie. But when
the Americans, exhibiting a sporting
gesture. suggested that the English re-
tain the cup until the '38 matches,
they were met by an equally sporting
answer, I'VE have not won the cup, so
it should rightfully remain in your
possession until We can win it out

The 1896 deadlock was the result
of a remarkable feat by Jessie An
derson, England's No. world woman
golfer for 1887. Realizing that 60
foot putt on the final hole Of her
match with Mrs Cheney was neces-
sary for the tie, she promptly sank it.

ton as do their American rivals, with
sea of good golfers, any one of which
may be the next outstanding golfer
of the two countries.
Captains Post No Cinch.
There Is feeling among some of
the American girls that their captain
should be non-playing leader. The
job is strenuous and nerve-racking
one and might easily affect ones game.
Mrs. Ware has captained the last two
American teams. once as a playing
captain and once while not playing.
Although she won her matches as a
playing captain, she stated it was
hard work and trying in every way,
but attributes the difficulty to the
fact that the matches were played in
England. In America, she adds, it
should not be so difficult to be a
playing captain.
If Mrs. Ware refuses an offer to cap
tain this years team, it seems prob
able that the honor will fall to Mrs.
Crews. Maureen has been unable to
practice because of her present work
as New York sports scribe, and her
poor showing in the nationals at Men,
phis was unavoidable Hence, a berth
on the team is unlikely, giving rise to
the likelihood that she will be offered
the captaincy. She undoubtedly would
make very efficient captain. and
an honorary appointment seems due
after her many golfng efforts for the
last IS years.
But all such are merely guesses, with
the final decisions coming from the

SPRING GOLF BOOM
EXCEPTIONAL HERE
Crowded Courses Indicate
Clubs Soon Will Have Biq
Waiting Lists.

Golf always goes into dance Of pop
ularity in the spring, but this year
around Washington-the ancient game
has gone Big Apple. Not in many
years have the country clubs been SO
thronged with addicts so early in the
season and that big grin you see on
the cherubic countenance OF S. G..
Leof1er, boss Of the public courses,
is because Leoffler is looking toward
his biggest spring business in years.
Combination of a mild winter and
an early spring has something to do
with the spring parade of the links
men, but this year there are more
golfers around. Every club course is
crowded now on week ends and the
public courses, always jammed with
the faithful, are likely to spill over
round the edges unless more golf
facilities are made available. Golf
really is going to town this year.
Tourney Fare Is Poor.
A strange part of the picture, from
the competitive angle, is that COM
paratively few tournaments will be
held this spring. The card Of cup
winning opportunities for the ANA
teurs offers scanty fare with only two
clubs scheduling local tournaments
and slim slate elsewhere in this
sector.
That, however, is as it should be.
Tournaments are for the upper bracket
gol1ers-the men who score in the
70s and the 80s. Your run-of-the-
mine club golfer doesn't play in them
and doesn't care about them. He is
more interested in licking his Sunday
morning links pal than in winning
piece OF silver. But tournaments
do develop good golfers, and they are
lacking this year.
Funny thing about golf and country
clubs, too. Every spring and fall the
golf courses are jammed. In between.
In midsummer and in the winter,
they are almost deserted. Golf is a
spring and fall game for the mass
around Washington, but this spring
the mass is bigger than ever.
Waiting List Likely.
Not all the country clubs have wait
ing lists-yet-but it won't be long
before they do have 'em if the number
OF links customers continues to grow
as 1t has over the last four years.
We have more than a dozen country
clubs around Washington and every
golf course is packed on week ends
TINS spring. Maybe some expansion
OF golf facilities is needed.

Mrs. Don Chandler and Dorothy
Traung.
Thus. with so many golfers now
available, it becomes a harder problem
each year to make a fair and just Sc
lection of top players and the final
decision necessarily must provide
grounds for rejoicing on the part of
some and bitter disappointment for
others.
Players Closely Watched.
Because it naturally desires to have
the very best on the Curtis Cup team,
the U. S. G.. A. is watching closely the
work Of every possible candidate in
every single tournament. The team
may be selected by the first of June,
and. then again, it may not be picked
until August. Inasmuch as the
matches are not played until Septem-
ber, the later date would seem more
feasible.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Frank
Strafaci, a black-haired young gent
who learned the ancient and honor
able game of golf in the hard school
of the public courses, is beginning to
throw his weight around among the
amateurs. If you want a long shot
for the national amateur title he is
one, and not such long shot at that.
Frank is not a newcomer. He came,
unheralded. out of Brooklyn to win

and he has played superlative golf on
numerous occasions since. But until

where the National Duckpin Bowling

the multiple achievements of the
Washington boWlers in the national
event his feat was overlooked. Sorry.

The latter failure was embarras-

passed him over, various Patrick

U. S. G. A. over the hurdles for ig-
-poring this sturdy son of the people.
They in turn were embarrassed when
Frank came out and stated fatty his
record was terrible" and he didn't
deserve place on the team.
At present he is eating his words
and making his supporters jump for
JOY. He whipped the celebrated George
Dunlap in the finals of the North and
South, no mean feat in itself. for
Dunlap is former national champion.
What gave the victory added luster
was Dunlaps knowledge of the Pine

hung on in the teeth of high winds in
