HOOP TOURNEYs SUCCESSFUL

HUT 1OUhNEx D OONNLSOE OA
 Both basketball tournaments held at the Naugatuck Y proved very suc- cesSful both in attendance and in sportsmanship. The Y will again sponsor these events next year. The senior tournament will be the sixth annual and the junior will be in its second. The junior tournament had more enthusiasm than the senior Much credit should be given to the Prospect boys in winning two cham pionships in one season. JureWicz was the nigh point getter of his team in the three games played with IT baskets and ' fouls; Kasper, center of the team came in second with g doubles and two fouls; Con- slaves had 5 and 2; McDermott, who played the best floor game had 4 and 1; Melbourne had 1. The other players did well on defensive play. Healy, Gainer, Kloc and Polonis also scored. -"
 Miss Alice Quish praised the boys on their wonderful work when the team presented the trophy to her on Monday morning.
 The big question of the senior tournaments upsets was: What hap pened to Chuck's? But the way the U. s. Big Leaguers went to town Sunday afternoon, no team could have won from them. With IA bas- kets out of Is trys in the first few minutes of play any team would start shooting wild. Heinie Caring ton did a good job of officiating and all teams were well satisfied. With the tournament over, and the father and son banquet tonight. the 18th, everything at the Y will turn to the V exhibition of combined gym classes to be held the last Friday and Saturday bn April, the path and 29th. A wonderful show in the making.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Naugatuck, March 16-Despite the winter weather, some members of the Naugatuck high school baseball team have started training. Bat tery practice is being held in the high school gymnasium and the prospective or would-be pitchers are limbering up their arms.
 The other candidates for the team are waiting for warmer weather so that they may get out side for practice. It is too early to determin eyet what the calibre of the team will be but it is hoped the nine will measure up to last years championship combine.

CHAPTER TWO

Major Barringer had chosen
wisely In selecting Ellen Anvers
as his confidential aide. and, after
the first surprise. she was thrilled
with the possibilities.
The job appealed to her, first,
because 1t required her to play a
role. and. second, because there
was the element Of excitement Of
being in the center OF things.
But for her fathers sudden
death. she might now be what she
really wanted to be, an actress.
She had been majoring in drama
subjects at the university when
he died. preparing herself for a
career on the stage or screen.
She had done very we'll too,
until circumstance forced her to
drop her plans and rearrange her
life.
Her fathers small insurance
policy had given her breathing
spell to equip herself for 4 job
which would bring In money i'm
medistely and steadily to help
support her mother and young
sister, and before she completed
her business course she landed a
position as stenographer at the
Hendon plant.
Some day. maybe. I'll get a
chance to act after ALL" she told
herself. Just recently. she had
enrolled in a night school dramatic
class.
Il may get \ good part in one
of our school plays, a movie scout

mother.

An Innovation In Introduction.

An Innovation In Introductions
Dear Mrs Post: ! am giving a
tea soon. to entertain so wives Of
employees in my husbands agency.
They viii come from a great many
states, and ! have never met any
Of these women. AS the purpose Of
this tea is to have the wives meet,
how can / introduce everyone to
everyone else when in the first
place everyone Is stranger TO
me? I'm such a bad one when 1t
comes to remembering names, and
the whole situation has me upset.
Answer: Since my own shortest
Of shortcomings is not being able
TO remember names, ! can under
stand your panic only too welll
II were in your place I would
certainly do what they do at most
public meetings and also on many
Of the audience-psrticipation radio
programs, and have every guest
wear her name. / would prepare
neat little badges with a name
clearly lettered on each one, and
when q guest 10 announced, you
give her her name badge to pin on.
IL In true, OF course, that the less
we exercise our memories the more
useless they will become. On the
other hand. 1t Ia also true that 1t
does help us to remember a name
il we see IL written. In any case,
the only way I myself can ever fix
the names of strangers In mind, is
to spell them.
One Man Alone at Tea:
Dear Mrs. Post: Can our club
invite the new minister and his
wife TO an afternoon tea when no
other men are being invited? l
mean, can a minister be considered
in q class apart from the other
husbands
Answer: 1t Is true that clergy
men are so often present at meet
ings where few, If any, other men
are present, that it would be quite
proper to send him an invitation.
But 1t would be best, l think, when
inviting his wife. to explain to her.
that IF her husband would care
to come with her, it would give
everyone GREAT pleasure to have
him join them.
The Proper Way to Call the Roll?
Dear Mrs. Post; When the roll
is called in Sunday school. should
the members names be given with
title? And how should the mem
bers answer?
Answer: The person calling
the roll should give the names with
titles. For example: Miss Mary
Smith and Mrs. George Smith;
Mrs. John Jones and Miss Jane
Jones Of there are several men,
beers in the class who have the same
name). Otherwise, 1t would be
Miss Smith and Mrs. Jones. the
members merely answer present
