I'heir coach, Charlie lNlclNlanus, is extremely prouil of them as are all who witnessetl their play. Posterity is inileeil safe in the hanils ul: such lails as these, any antl each of whom is a typical clean-living American hoy. lt is the belief of all who are associated with athletics hereahouts that the Class of 19-Ml at Natick High School is a trihute to the par- etit-, teachers anal coaches who have hanilletl them as a remarkahle and outstanding group in every way.

VVith Captain tlrcutt antl his uncle, Lang- ley to help in the fielrl events the races will he taken care of hy some of the speedy Sopho- inores. Track is probably the only sport that will not have more than half Seniors on the competing squail. lt is hopetl that the lioys will ilo well in larger meets, such as the Bay State League Meet in june.
