Was Mr. Treadway surprised to find out that Lillian Doherty couldn't speak German? No additions to ranks of bobbed haired high school girls. Are they losing their nerve ? Miss Pryor and Mr. Basinger agree on one topic, namely, that the sophomore boys are giddy. A few junior girls have decided never to become school marms after having one day's experience. The ten minutes' recess Monday ; morning was enjoyed by high school students as well as the little folks. Mr. Treadway asked Lillian if her best friend was an Irishman. After some stuttering she replied that hoped he'd be. Rumor claims that if the freshies persist in staring at visitors who enter the door that the well bred juniors will be moved to that section of the room.

REGULARS COME BACK STRONG Trii PfefeUps By S3S Friday fevening Still smarting over the defeat handed them by a team of pick-ups, the McHenry regulars came back strong at Smithy's alleys last Friday night by handing their opponents a sound licking, taking the three-game series by 332. Weber, who "knocked 'em dead" for the pick-ups the week previous, was missing last Friday and the members of the team feel that his absence had a great deal to do with the final outcome. Another meeting of the two teams to decide the real champions will probably be arranged for some time in the near future. Meyers set the pace last Friday night with a total of 608 pins for the three games, while Geier ran him a close second with a total of 601. For the pick-ups Vogt stood out in a class by himself, with a total of 518, his nearest rival being Colby, with a total of 489 pins to his credit. Meyers, of the regulars, is also credited with the highest score of the series, having piled up 210 pins in the first game. Geier rolled 207 in the same game.

Spurling, of the winning team, rolled up the highest total as well as the best game of the evening. His total was 558, while he shot 225 in the last of the three game series. Richardson, of the losing team, came in for second honors with a total of 550. In his first game he piled up 200 and then turned around and beat this mark by two pins in the second. Smithy's best bet of the evening, well, we promised not to mention his name, was a trifle off color, or the honor of the series would surely have gone to the losers.
