until Feb. 21, practice games
have already begun.
On Monday afternoon the
Freshmen topped the Sopho
mores in what appeared to be
more of a football game than
basketball by a score of 34 23.
Other practice games are be
ing scheduled, and as tension
monts, we hope school spirit
and enthusiasm will increase
and the number of fans at tAe
games will rice.
As in past years, the games
will be officiated by referees
from in and around Red Springs.
Each player is on her toes, for
while her goal is that of dis
playing the best sportsmanship
possible, she is also in hopes of
making her class team and pos
sibly even the varsity.
The captains of the teams are
to be commended for their ex
cellent leadership and knowl
edge of the game itself, for they
have all done grand jobs in or
ganizing ad working their
teams, and picking good playing
combinations at the same time.
The players are to be commend-
for their excellent cooperation
and backing.
Special recognition must be
given Jane McLeod, who is head
of basketball. She has done a
splendid job of organizing the
tournament, regulating practic
es, and placing a the captians’
disposal a book of standard bas
ketball rules.
Class captains are freshman.

This episode is my father’s
fnvorite joke and it is with his
mermission that I would like
to tell it.
An American (let us> call him
Mr. Jones) went to Pari's. lOne
afternoon he decided to go out
of his exclusive hotel for sight
seeing. So, walking out in the
street he called a taxi out in the
plained his purpose to the driv
er. who being very lhapipiy to
have such a wonderful catch,
consented to take Mr. Jones by
famous places in Pairds and also
g've proper explanations.
As any other good French
man, the driver headed towards
Place de 1’ Etoile, driving
tifcrough magnificent Camps Ely-
sees. arriving there, he explain
ed that, “it took us twenty
years to build this majestic Arc
de Triomlphe.”
“What! Twenty years my
goodness, it would have taken
us two months in the States!”
Said Mr. Jones.
The driver did not answer,
but (headed toward Paris Opera,
stopped, and explained its great
ness in the whole world by con
cluding that it took fifty years
to build it.
“What! fifty years!” exclaim
ed Mr. Jone's, “it would have
taken us five years to build it
in America.”
The driver did not answer,
but headed towards Place de la
Concorde. Again he stopped and
gave a speech of its greatness
concluding that it took them
ten years to fix it.
“Ten years, olh me, we can
build it in ten days in the
istp.tes.”
The driver did not say a word
but headed towards Versailles
Palace. He stolpped in front of
it and explained that Versailles
car, room 6,000 persons, is a
third of a mile long, etc. and
also concluded that it took
Louis XIV 30 years to build it,
saying this, he turned and look
ed at Mr. Jones with triumph,
but tfhe latten* cooly declared
that architecture was more ad
vanced in the states and added
that it would take three months
to build up the whole thing
back in the states.
The driver did not say a
word, but started the car. He
drove through many streets and
parks and finally they came in
view of lEiffle Tower. The
The driver did not take any no
tice of it and with no intention
of stopping and with an easy
air around him, drove on.
TIhey were under the Tower
and almost ipassing it when—
“Wait a minute!” shouted Mr.
Jones.
The driver stopped.
“What is that?” asked Mr-
Jones, pointing out the tower.
“What is what?’’ answered the
driver and putting Ihis head out
.;f the car window looked up
and with a wondering gesture
f.nd turned towards Mr. Jones.
“I really don’t know sir, it was
not there yesterday!!”
