Explore "The Boys of Columbia High on the Diamond" by Graham B. Forbes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
That night a crowd gathered in the big assembly room of the Columbia High School to see Roderic Seymour and his gallant boys receive the splendid flag which the girls of Columbia High had purchased to fly upon the staff at the athletic grounds whenever a game of any sort was in progress.
Helen Allen had been chosen to make the presentation address, because she was known to be the best speaker among Columbia's fair ones. And both Paul Bird and Ralph West thought her the prettiest girl in the wide world as, with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, she told what pride the sisters of the Columbia boys took in their sterling fight for the baseball pennant.
