THE SCIO SPHINX
BASKETBALL PARTY
MR
BAILEY VISITS US
This comes in the form of a message
from the girts B B team to any or all
overworked mother's of the boys’ basket­
ball team.
We realise, although not so
strongly aa you, perhaps, what tremendous
appetites your sons possess ami what a job
it is to supply them with the necessary
amount of good cooked food to appease
them. Now, out with our suggestion,
Let
them cook it themselves?
We know, from
experience, that for cooks the boys’ tram
can't be beat, although as a H R. team it
dors seem at least possible.
The reason we know of their ability in
this line is because of a compact, formed
before the boys’ Albany vs. Scio and the
girls' I a - ba non vs. Scio games, to the effect
whoever loot by the largest scon- would
give the other a party.
We were confident as to the final result,
but the boys, owing to poor judgment,
• Sought they might win by a higher score
than ours.
Fate was against them, as we
had surmised, and it was their doom to re­
ward us with a party.
Tuesday night the girls’ team practiced
as usual, and afterwards, on arriving at
the I). S. room, a delightful odor of ham
burger assailed our nostrils. It is not nece»-
xary to state the degree to which we en-
joy«-d their feed of hamburger sandwiches,
cocoa and cookies, but it waa great. We
are not wishing the boys bad luck, but we
hope they do it some more!
Now, take our hint, and let the boys do
They can!
Mr. Bailey, of the Curtis Publishing Co.,
of Philadelphia, has offered to help us
again.
H« had v.dt.d us last year and
we appreciate his visit now
He spoke to the «tud.-nt body • «plaining
his plan by which the student body could
earn mon.y by g.-tin •, -ubvcriptionx to th«-
"Country Gentle man.“
His plan Is the sum.- as that of last year.
Each subscription for th* "Country Gentle­
man.” which is one dollar per year, whether
n.-w or renewal, bringing the student body
fifty cents for every subxeription.
The student body immediately voted to
again tak«> up Mr. Hailey’s plan.
Two team« have been formed, Francis
Wearly is captain of th.- " ’parkie«,” whose
color is red, and Johnnie Wexely captain of
the "Banues," who««- color is groan.
The
team having the greatest numbvr of sub­
scriptions will be given a party by the los­
ing team.
To each person »ecuring six subscriptions
a silver fountain pen or self opening jack
knife will bo given.
Anyone getting three
subscriptions will earn a "l.eath«mcek"
pencil. The “top" prise, to tha one getting
the most subvcript.ons, will be a self-filling

DO YOU KNOW THAT?
Th«- class of '27 are sadly preparing to
relinquish al) claim to enforce the wearing
of the Freshman «»mblem at the en«l of
this semester. Wr have taken great pride
in seeing this work thoroughly enforced,
and at l<sa«t two of the Freshman class will
remember crrta.ii pa«idlings when they
“look back over the years."
Th«< Sophomore class feel highly honored.
In the "Country Gentleman Contest,” both
the manager« were selected from our
"gang” and very appropriately selected,
too. They are, everyone must agree, un­
excelled for a po-itu.n of thi» kind. We
arr talking nlxiut Frances Wesely, leader
of the "Sparkle«," ami Johnnie WeSv-ly,
leader of the "Burnirs.”
There has, lately, been a certain
"rushed” or "hunted" look on the face* of
some of our menibi rs. it is all because of
our theme on our classics, Shakespeare's
"The Merchant of Venice." This is the
first really long them« this year aand is
proving to nom- of u» that a "Waterloo”
may be found even for the Sophomore
class.

Mae and Gus still go to church together?
Mary is taking up housekeeping at Shell­
burn?
If the students of the outside districts
Were provided with transportation the at­

Only three fouls

these being personal on the Seto guards
during the first quarter.
