22 The Acorn gized. It seems that some sort of apology is due the school when three of its girls insulted it by open disloyal actions at one of our basket-ball games. We all know who they are. Prof. Bailey (in Physiology) "Did I tell you to look out for an examination to-day?" Leland "Yes sir, a mental examination." Prof. Ballantyne (calling roll) "Where have you been Leonard?" Bingham "I haven't been feeling well." Prof. Ballantyne "Yes, ill from 12:20 to 1 o'clock I suppose." Prof. McKendrick (in Geometry sometimes) "If two chords are equal where are they?" Eccles "In the circle." For variations on chewing gum see Lorene Farley. Students please take notice that the kitchen is closed after 4:20. Miss Ballard and Mr. Shurtlift need it. There is a boy in our school, His hair is wondrous red, He talks "Success" from morn till nigh.t There is something wrong, 'tis said. A student while looking through an old tablet found the following problem which was given to a class by our former teacher J. G. Lind. "If a skeleton weighs 21 pounds and contains 56% Ca 3 (P 04) 2 How many matches can be tipped with the phosphorous in it, if one pound serves to tip 1,496,343 matches. Is it not characteristic?) Time and tide and Prof. Cowles wait for no man, especially at noon hour. Bingham says that every tree around the school bears lemons. He "There is one thing I like about you." She "What?" He "My arm." Prof. Bailey (in Botany) "I have a little parasite at home which I will bring" then he blushed. Prof. Jensen "Answer prepared or unprepared this morning." Cardon "Unprepared." Shaw "What did you answer that for?" Cardon "Well Bill, I'm going to quit lying." Miss Farr "I go into the kitchen and see Mr. Shurtliff, I suddenly decide to go to the sewing-room, but there I meet Mr. Goddard, so I decide to stay in the hall and wait for Mr. Richards." Wanted a position as apprentice in the cooking department. Typewriting has lost its charms. A member of the Faculty. Riddle Guess which members of the faculty are married. The Acorn 23 Athletics A Time of Victory Our Junior basket-ball team made a hit in Coalville, February 14th, when they defeated the Summit Stake Academy by a score of 19 to 20. Although our boys were outclassed in size, they proved themselves to be superior in team work. After the game the boys were taken to the Summit Academy, where they were royally entertained. On Thursday, March 12th, one of the most exciting games Ogden has ever seen, was played between the Y. M. C. A. second team and our boys. The players of both sides were in good condition. Both seemed confident of victory and both played with a determination to win. The score was kept nearly even through the two halves making the excitement intense. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to 6 in favor of the home team but in the second half the visiting team rolled in a few baskets and made us fear the loss of the game. When the whistle blew for time at the end of the last half, the score showed a tie. Both teams redoubled their efforts and played fiercely for the decisive basket. After one, short, breathless moment the hopes of the visitors were cruely blasted as West Lindsay rolled in the ball amid the deafening cheers of the excited spectators. W. S. A. Line up Y. M. C. A.
