The High Pointers started the
game off with a rush and had scored
several points before the visitors
were able to get the ball In their
possession. They outplayed the
Old Town girls In every phase of
the game and were holding the
big end of a 14-7 score at the end
of the half.
In the third quarter the visiting
team made such a come-back that
the locals seemed unable to check
them and at the end of the quarter
they had the score a tie. The local
girls then realized that they would
have to fight for victory, so in
about three minutes time they
rang up eight points to send the
visitors home In defeat.
Scott and Martin each scored
6 points for the visitors. Hamil
was high scorer for the locals.

the villages which would be passed
by the tourists availing themselves
of these opportunities to travel,
and gave interesting facts about
the larger villages. Some gave a
schedule for each day.
Different schemes for covers
were carried out. Some were colored
and others were white with an
artistic picture on the front. All
things considered, some of the
bulletins made offer as delightful
a trip as those sent out by regular

on the books for the library but it
must be confessed that her own
attention strayed at the sight of so
many beautifully illustrated and
bound volumes. First Miss Foster
would dash to the back of the store
and bring out an exquisite edition
of Tales of English Chivalry.
After much debating and con
tinued glances at the price, they
decided that it was too simplified
for the high school students. Then
at the front of the store were some
larger and newer editions of great
books. Among these was the “Auto
biography of Benito Mussolini.
Miss Foster insisted that we ought
to have It, and we agreed. But alas!
When we later found out how our
little list had grown, we regretfully
left Benito’s life for another time.
After rummaging around on those
interesting shelves, we came across
a book which we all agreed (that
is Misses Foster and Graham did)
that we ought to have.
It was Robert Frost’s “West-
Running Brook.” That was added
to the list that was rapidly growing
on the counter. Here I intervened
and said that we ought to have
some really truly novels, of which
they had none so far. The one they
all finally decided on was “Sorrell
and Son” so all you who are glad
to see it on the library shelves may
thank me for bringing it there.
After this we looked around some
more, and found a most delightful
edition of—well. I’ll tell you ;ust
how it all came about. Miss Gra
ham had been looking around all
by herself, and had brought out
several books which had been re
jected because of—um, I reckon
price, because you see, the purse
was rather anemic. Anyway, at last
she brought forth with squeaks of
rapture a copy of Knickerbocker’s
“History of New York.” I really
thought those two librarians would
die of joy over that book. With
some careful figuring, and much
joy the book was added to the pile
on the counter. In close succession
followed “Life on the Mississippi
by Twain,” “Some Wild Animals
I Have Known,” and a new copy
of Blackmore’s “Lorna Doone. We
all kept bringing more and more
books to add to the pile and when
at last we stopped, we all nearly
fainted at the total of the prices.
Tearfully we took back some of
the weeded-out ones to their shelves
but everybody was mighty happy
at the ones we did have.
Manfully, I tried to the last to
convince the worthy Misses that
the students really needed to read
“Michael Strogoff” which all of
you know and want to read. Time
and time again I laid it surreptiti
ously on the pile and time and time
again it went back firmly, but they
did promise me that when the
second installment of new books is
ordered, it will possibly be with
them.
the butcher, the baker, and the
blacksmith and veterinarian. The
results, if not good, were at least
humorous.
The week was not considered
complete without considering how
Epple and Aaron spent their days.
To this purpose, a diary was kept
for a week or ten days. Whether
the student elected to write the
diary of Eppie or of Aaron, he
gave a close account of the little
hum-drum affairs which filled the
lives of these young people.

play can be done. The cast will be
as follows: Mary, Marion Ship-
man; John, Woodrow Brooks; the
Hero, Robert Davis; the Heroine,
Marie Payne; the Villain, Lucas
Abels.
The play is by A. A. Milne and
combines mystery, love, and com
edy, in such a way that the result
will be one of hilarity. Woodrow
Brooks plays a part in his typical
comic vein and will romp through
the part in a lightly farclal man-
“The Valiant”
“The Valiant” will form the
serious place in the bill and will
serve to offer La Verne Hudson
and Kent Douglas an opportunity
to pull at the heart strings of the
audience. The story is of the un
known condemned prisoner who is
to die at twelve o’clock and of the
lovely Josephine Paris, who comes
to the prison hoping that she will be
able to prove him to be her long
lost brother. The play Is built
around the famous Shakespearian
thought:
“Cowards die many times before
their deaths;
The Valiant never tastes of
death but once.”
The cast has not been completed
at the present but will be drawn
from the following: La Verne Hud
son, Kent Douglas, Richard Samu
els, Ralto Farlow, David Parsons,
Herman Yokely, and Ernest Au-
man.
