FACULTY DEFEATED BY FRESIIIES.
Last Friday afternoon the Freshman
basket ball team played against the faculty
quintet. The first half was close the
Freshmen being in tlio lead by the small
score of 6 to 5. But the last half wit-
nessed the complete downfall of the facul
ty while the Fish piled up point aits
point until at the end of the game the
score stood 12 to 7 in their favor
Considering their lack of practice the
faculty team did exceedingly well. Mc
Casland played all over the field with a lot
of his old time pep and proved a terror to
his opponents.
Love Embree Wright Kelly and Green
played for the Fish. All seemed to be
lucky in ringing goals Green tallying six
points. Sanders ployed the last halt in
Love's place. The faculty were repre
sented by McCasland Sikes Morlan
Coons and Noles.
The Senlorl Oh the Seniors!
How very great are they
They stand upon their dignity
And all the school suney.

A LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL.
(Featuring Blank Thought.)
My dear and most respected sir:
I send you this your love to stir;
TIs you I choose the first of all
On whom to make a leap year's call.
I've given you the foremost chance
A home for you I now enhance.
Your heart and liand I ask not in jest
And hope you will grant my request.
Send back your answer yea or nay
For you must leap year's laws obey.
And If your hand does not incline
In wedlock's hand to join in mine
I
Send me sir a handsomo dress
I ask no more and take no less.
Now you may think this letter funny
But I must have a man or money
I
So when you send me your reply
May I be your wife until I die.
And if you think I am a dandy
Send m. a box of red stick candy.
And if the writer's name you guess
Send this back to her address.
And if at last there is no hope
Send along six feet of rope.
With all kind of hugs and kisses
I remain your would-be Mrs.
FISH AND SOPlfS MEET IN AN IN
TER-CLASS GAME.
Ijint Wednesday the Sonhs met the Fish
in a basket ball game which was very In
teresting throughout. In spite ot the tact
that practically none of the players on the
Soph team had been on the local court for
practice this year the game was close
and hard fought.
At the beginning of the first holt Mc-
Donald threw a field goal for the Fish in
less than two minutes. Lanier then threw
one for the Sophs tying the score. The
game remained equal until Syitt succeeded
in caging another for the Spphs. On a
free throw McDonald then threw one point
nftrr which Witt succeeded in getting
asetker field goal 'aaklnjcrt.e Jeo.jtaU"

RETURNED MISSIONARY SPEAKS TO
STUDENTS.
Dr. Dye who is a medical missionary
of Africa under the direction of the Chris-
tian Church spoke to the students last
Tuesday morning and held close attention
throughout the entire address.
Mr. Dye spoke as a man of knowledge
and gave the students a vision of the life
and needs of Africa as is very seldom given
of any land. He told of the social indus-
trial economical and religious wounds of
the people and assured the students that
Jesus is the only healer of these wounds.
"Indeed" he sold "America must take
Jesus to these people if she is to keep filh.
with those boys who made the world safe
for Jesus and are now lying beneath the
poppies that glow on Flanders field.
