Page 6. THE SALEMITE Wednesday, Nov. 30, 1932. HOW JOSEPHINE WON THE HOCKEY GAME Once upon a time there wa.s a lit tle girl named .Josephine Salem. But she was not a little girl; she was a. big, husky, out-of-doors girl. Now there have been many Josephines in history but there was never a her oine as Junoesque as our Josephine. Before little Josephine grew to womanhood she had many wonderful dreams of going to College and be coming the idol of her classmates by her prowess in This or That. As she grew older, she worked feverish ly to beeome a great athlete because her own great talent was for sports. A smart girl was our .Josephine! When Josephin‘ came to Salem she worked harder than ever and finally made a place for herself on I he grass beside the Central School hockey field. II was a very special |)lace. N'o (me else ever sat in it; in fact, no one else could—they were all too busv plaving to sit down. F.ventuaily tlie Great Day came around and .Josephine aw'oke at the l)reak of day to take setting-up exer cises in order that she might fit her self for the great work that lay in front of her. She knew it was great and that it did lay because she had ii premonition. When the whistle shrilled its pierc ing cry, Josephine’s heart fluttered in her capacious chest and she leaned tensely forward. "Goose-grease, goose-grease,” .she muttered under her breath. It was a charm that never failed All that was necessary was to glow er at the person you wanted hoo-doo- ed and something would happen — the severity depending on the fervor of the muttering and the intensity of the glow'er. Becau.se Josei kind-hearted soul she softened both to a mild mutter and a gentle gl( At first nothing happened—the game went on and on and on! The score was 0-0. There was tension in the Suddenlv a scream rent the firma ment. All was not well—in fact, "mething was seriously wrong. A ven sounded its ghostly whine; ''.ere was a grinding of brakes and .'reaming of tires as a shiny white ambulance jerked to a stop at the rurb. Two white-garbed Adonises hopped out, slung a snowy stretehei between them and rushed to tht scene of the accid{-nt. The battered player was ))laced on the stretchi with special eare for th ebig toe upon which some meany had stepped. Xow is your chance. Josephine ! In a glorious haze she dashed out, only to rush back for a stick. Eventually the game began again. The ball was carried down towards The Goal Post. All went well until Joseph! got the ball and with high glee wham med it towards the goal. “A goal, a goal,” she trilled. But no! It was not a goal and Josephine was so upset that from the] graceful pirouette she was doing she fell, grasping at nothingness, in front CONFETTI ‘Friends and fellow revelers! What iuld this party be without confetti ? I ask you, sit down and confront the question face to face. Without these dainty, twisting, many-colored bits of perishable deliglit what could this party mean in our life? Friends, I to you that a party w'ithout con fetti would be like a piano with no keys, a birthday party with no cake, ])roblem with no solution, a foun tain pen with no ink !” And slinging my toga over my shoulder with gusto, and holding my disgusted chin high in the air, I ■anee from this surging crowd of lappreciating followers of Diony- s. Ah ! How my blood runs fast through my body as still with my ■hin held higli, I rush down the street wending my way back and forth be tween more morsels of that ever- rising loaf of human life People! People! Will they never cease to ap pear? Everywhere I turn, there are more. What good are they all? No use, however, to start on that. I am still perfectly indignant that mere people should not appreciate fully tliat charming addition to our live.s— confetti! Tlie word itself is sweet to my lips. Dear, happy, flitters! Weep not that you are first etherial and then trodden under foot. I will be your defender. . And—” “No I liaven’t lost my mind—This is merely an overdose of Bowery Ball and I-atin Oratory! I can’t remember liow they became connect ed in my mind. I guess it’s all right, though just forget it. I’ll go with you to Morganton if you insist.
