ARL NGTON HIGH SC HOG . CLARION. 12 ATHLEriCS. POLO NOTES. “Who’s the man that stole the ball? 1 he polo team, as finally chosen by Captain Johnson, is as follows: John- son, first rush ; Puffer, second rush ; F. White, centre; Pe irce, half-back; and H. White, goal. The cup won by our team, by the championship of the lnter-])reparatory League, is to be held by the school for one year. The cup was i)ut up by the New England Skating Association, and the school winning the championship of the Inter-])reparatory the greatest num- ber of times during ten years is to own the cup. Annually, the names of the winning team are engraved on the cup, which is held by that team for one ' ear. d he success of the team has been due largely to Johnson ' s able cai)taincy. Not only has he done brilliant work him- self, but he has, by constant practice and coaching, madeShe team what it is.

ARUNGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. 1 1 ’oo. The meetin.s s of the Class of 1900 are especially enjoyable to observers. Order and stillness pervade the atnios]:)here, parliamentary rules are followed with extreme rigidity, and the sober coun- tenances of the assembly show the inter- est they have in settling ' the af¥airs of the nation. The Class of 1900 asks. “Why do the members of the other classes rush into our room during the most impressive parts of our meetings, and, after staring about, retire, bursting with laughter? Ts there anything extraordinary in our pro- ceedings?” Miss Lucile (julliver has sent her P. P. C. cards to her school friends, among whom she was (pute a favorite. ( )ne of our class has learned that Juno was the “queen of thieves” (Thebes). Teacher — “Where is London situ- ated?” Scholar — “Southern part of Ger- many.” Evidently our sopranos have not be- come thoroughly imbued with the mar- tial spirit of “On to the Hattie! On! Their attack on the high notes more nearly resembles the mournful wail of dire despair than the vigorous battle- cry of an invincible army. llowever, animus crescit paulatim, and we may be assured that, through diligent practice and perseverance, they will yet attain their “lofty aims.

BASEBALL NOTES. There is no lack of interest among the boys in baseball this spring. There are nearly twenty candidates for the nine po- sitions, and the captain will find it dif- ficult to tell in every case who is the best man for the position. All candidates for the team must re- member that they are to pass in their names to the captain, and also state the position for which they intend to try. This applies to each one, whether he was on last year’s team or not. Our manager is a “hustler,” and we are sure to have plenty of games to kec]) up interest. He has already arranged for the following games, all of them to be played on home grounds; .April 8, Waltham High. April 13, Newton High. .April 15, Burdett College. .April 19, M. I. T.. ' (jg. April 24, Concord High. IMay 6, Tufts Colege. Alay 30, Arlington Boat Club. The boys appreciate the interest and generosity of those who have so kindly aided them with funds for their basel)all supplies, and extend to them a heartv vote of thanks, hoping that they will still keep up their interest by attending the games. .A vote of thanks is akso e.xtended to the .Arlington B oat Club for their geu- IVRIGIir DirSON Athletic outfitters to the leading colleges, schools and athletic clubs of New England.

S. letters across the breast; gray trousers and crimson stock- ings. The uniform thus represents the school colors, and makes a very neat ap- pearance. The baseball management, aided by Ernest Woods, is doing its best to have our school admitted to the Inter-scholas- tic League this spring. It is very doubt- ful, however, if they succeed. It is ])ro- posed to enter the Suburban League, if we do not enter the Inter-scholastic. Nothing so tends to rouse the real “high school spirit” among the boys as the feeling that they have the approval and interest of their teachers in their athletics; and we certainly have nothing of whk ' h to coni])lain on this score. If any one doubts the interest of onr ] rin- cipal in his boys, he ought to step down into the school basement. There he will find something of which he never thought before. It is a very sini])le, but
