Albemarle, N. C. ;
BOOSTING ATHLETICS
(By Ruith Pickier.)
The games of our Albemarle School
are fine;
Nothing is better along that line;
The thing our school boosts all the
time,
Is atheltics.
If you want to grow mentally, physi
cally strong, ' ’■
And stay in good humor the whole
day long,
Play some game _ you know is not
wrong—
Make it baseball!
The boys love to play a fast inter
esting game,
They play all the season, in sunshine
and rain,
It’s never old and never tame—
Its basketball.
If you want a good game that’s not
So rough.
But one guaranteed to make muscles
tough.
Then play the game that is the stuff—
That’s tennis!
Now if you are too young for these
sports, little boy.
And would like v. simpler, smaller
You’ll find this game will bring you
joy—
Its marbles!
Now do as I tell you; listen dear,
Let’s make our rivals white with fear.
By playing hard the coming year—
For A. H. S.
