X BOYS' BASKETBALL SEASON Although not a successful season in win- ning games, it has been successful in that the boys who will make up the team next year will have had enough experience to enable them to get a flying start. Some ex- cellent material remains for the season of '24:--A. Dumas, T. Dumas, Butters, Mor- gan, Potter, Thompson, Mordis, Kelly, Hes- lin, Shea, Muskat, Cowee, and many others. A first-class varsity team should develop. The Natick boys, as you know, lost all four games at Aggie, but what was learned in those games was demonstrated during the remainder of the season,-Maynard, Winchester, Wellesley. Framingham won two games, by close scores. I look to see the Natick squad drub F. H. S. next year if material means anything. The game at Natick was a hard-fought one and F. H. S. won in a last-ditch battle. The game at the Casino was a fast game throughout and the score was close. R. E. E. Friday, Mr. Archibald took four Varsity basketball players to Tufts, where they saw real basketball. Teams from all over the state were represented: Fitchburg was the lucky one this year. I guess Morgan learned some fine points. The next thing to consider in sports is baseball. The graduation of last June left XJ. v-- but a few to begin with this year. There is a good bunch of fellows said to be ready to report for various positions, and it is hoped a strong team can be materialized. The former members are Esty, Dumas, Richard- son, Grady, Thompson, Wilson, Kreutz- kampf. The new members ready to report are T. Dumas, Kunz, Dean. A few others have signified their intentions of coming out for a position. The team is a member of the Midland League, of which it was champion last year, and stands a good chance this season. GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls completed their basketball schedule, Tuesday, March 20, playing a game with Melrose, at Melrose. Although not as successful as in other years, fdue to lack of materialb, they played good, clean, exciting games and showed good sportsman- ship. We shall all regret the absence of Miss Goldrick, on next year's team. She de- fended her position as guard perfectly. She was an excellent captain, popular with all her team mates, and showed some of the best playing in all the games. It was due to the splendid work of Miss Goldricks and Miss Lord that the opponents' scores were kept down. DOROTHY RYAN.

PAGE TWENTY THE SASSAMON No trace was found of the occupants of the other two boats, so they were given up as lost. After many hardships the survivors of the wreck reached a large city, from which they proceeded to San Francisco. A few days after their arrival there, Mr. Brown summoned Captain Mayo and the first mate to his office. After they were seated, Mr. Brown said to the first mate, I have just ordered a new ship to be built, and if you can get captain's papers, I will put you in command of it. Then turning to Mayo he said, I was wondering if you would be willing to give up the sea and come into the business as port captain. You are too brilliant a man to spend all your life at sea. The two young men were amazed at the generosity of their employer, and when they regained their voices, they accepted the kind offers. They left the office in a daze, and when they got outside, Mayo turned to the mate and said, Now are you glad you stuck by the ship ? . The mate was too dazed to reply. STERLING MILLS.
