A "SWEET" WAY OF MAKING MONEY 1 Is there an organization in the high school that needs funds? If *°, here is a splendid chance to •urn something. Mr. Wells, a representative of F. M. Paist ComP°»5', Philadelphia, was here last Wednesday and suggested a plan. The plan Is to sell Bryn Mawr chorolate coated bars at five cents a There are 24 hers In a box, ami each box costs 75 cents, therefore a profit of 45 cents is made -on each box. Since everybody eats ready, it wouldn't be hard to dispose of several boxes. The A. A., Senior class and Junior class all ooed money; HIGH school girl shows great athletic promise h*st week the days were so pleasant and warm that the high school girU' physical training classes were taken to the parking grounds and were put through several athletic events.

Had theer been an opportunity to get together the four fastest runners of all the classes, there would have been no question what the shuttle could lie cut u, around 28 or 29 seconds. Elizabeth Twohey threw the baseball the furthest, with a disof 136 feet. Edith Powell second, throwing the hall 132 • » as seconu, uirowing the ball 132

[THROUGH MISTAKE TRACK f "i TEAM COULD NOT COMPETE i ' The high school track team did t ! not take part in the neighborhood ( track and field meet, which was < held at Atlantic City last Satur- t ' day, due to the fact that the man- t f ager did not have the entry blanks < c containing the names of the com- 1 - petitors properly endorsed by the e principal and the athletic director. I - Dr. Maroney called up Prof. UnI ger Friday noon and informed him I • that he hail received the entries, i i, hut they were not endorsed, and therefore not considered in the I - meet. t s1 It was somewhat disappointing i - to the track members for they had 1 a truck already engaged to take J i them and they were looking for- » 1 ward to capturing some of the ' t laurels that were offered. Judging I , from the results of a number of 1 the events, our hoys could have « ' carried off two or three of them 1 - at least v | { < < LOCAL BASEBALL NINE '■ TO TACKLE PTILLE TEAM c - The high school baseball team I to hit their winning stride * ' when they play Pleasantville high 8 ' school on the latter's grounds to- ' ' afternoon. The locals lost I the 'Woodbine high, on the local ' grounds last Saturday, 8 to 1. ' Woodbine rolled up all their eight i rung in the third inning, due to ths fact that Mac Gregor became unsteady, and the numerous costlyerrors of his team mates. Our team now dropped four games in t ■ row, putting them in the cellar of : the standing of the County League Cape May Court House High's > winning streak was broken last • Saturday, when they were defeatI ed by Coach Myer', boys of Wild- ' wood at 8 to 5. < The game tomorrow afternoon ' will follow immediately the track meet between Pleasantville and " Gloucester high schools, which will I start promptly at 2 P.
