26 THE SASSAMON Tatigkeit des Menschlichen Korpers, and Klcmperer's Klinische Deagnostikf' 'llhey will never grumble at Wilhelm Tell again. In regard to social life at school, any one of our students will tell you that Tufts is an extremely sociable place. I don't believe that any student in there ever died of melancholia or loneliness. To hear the conversation of the students about their class banquets one would be almost lead to think that they never did anything but eat. Each class has its ban- quet besides whatever dances and recep- tions they may care to hold. To be sure, we have to go to school six days of the week, and on Satur- day afternoon we feel as though we could try the Rip Van Winkle stunt, but we all acknowledge that we are glad when Monday morning comes.

There was a goodly number of stu- dents and former graduates present. The patronesses were Miss Elva Coulter and Miss Caroline Clifford who, with the officers of the Junior Class, President, Joseph Dwyer, Vice President, Frieda Diehlg Secretary, Harold Robinson, and Treasurer, Julia Oliver were in the receiving line from eight to eight-thirty. Dancing was greatly enjoyed from eight-thirty until twelve. This was due to the excellence of Allen's Sing- ing Orchestra, to the fact that the ma- jority of the Juniors had taken special dancing lessons for the occasion, and that there were two moonlight num- bers. The committee in charge of the re- ception included the following: Wal- ter Montieth, Eleanor Bowen, Lucille Ambler, A. Carl Jensen, and Annie Burns. Those on the committee on decorations were Eleanor Bowen and Norman Trippe. The class is elated over the fact that their profits were over twelve dollars, due to the fine work of the above com- mittees. To the business men of the town who so kindly assisted them, the class wishes to express its appreciation. N. S. T. The following girls received their let- ters for Basketball, Elizabeth Murphy Josephine Gavin Miriam Eldridge Mary Casey Hazel Sprott CCapt.J Mary Powers Beatrice Robinson

28 THE SASSAM ON flashes of brilliant playing by the con- testants provoked many outbursts of cheering from their loyal supporters. Natick, practically a green team, entered the game at a great disadvantage, facing a vctcran team and a pitcher of four years' cxperience. Gillcran was selected to start for Natick and when he strode out to the box at three o'clock the crowd had fiowed out onto the field and the outer field was lined with automobiles and other vehicles. Natck was very nervous and Fram- ingham, taking advantage of this fact. had secured four runs before they had settled down and retired the side while Natick in return was retired by Hether- ton, Framingham's speedy twirler. Framingham secured four moves in the second and one in the third while Natick was unable to cross the plate. Gilleran was pitching good ball but the poor sup- port afiorded him enabled Framingham to obtain several easy runs. Connell was the first man to score for Natick crossing the home plate in the 5th, and their second score came in the 8th when Bolster, who had replaced Gilleran was brought home by Gleason's double. The longest hit of the game was made by Coleman, a three base hit to deep centre in the 4th inning. Natick's outfield, though hitting weakly, fielded faultlessly and the throwing of Fair, who shared the honors of the game with Bray, was rue of the features of the game, his bul- let like throws cutting off several runs at the plate. Daley, Coleman and Fair starred for Natick, while Hetherton, Bray and Hunnefield played well for Framingham. , Dwyer, '17.

Captain Ed Casey of Harvard Fresh- men is now wearing his baseball num- erals. It is hoped that he will have an H to wear next year. NOTES Slip Howard and Pansy Brennan are to play with the Framingham Trol- ley League team this summer. Slip says he is mighty glad to get back to the town of pretty girls again. Russell Frye has played a couple of star games at first base for the Pine Hill team this spring. Russ was one of the best first basemen that Natick ever had. In the Memorial Day game Natick out- field played a star game. They secured eleven putouts. Four by Peterson, four by Fair and three by Dudley beside three assists, one each fielder. Almost all the catchers were exceptionally hard espe- cially Peterson's catch of a long foul. It was one of the best catches ever made at Coolidge Field. ,' Dwyer, '17.
