ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. A short while after the successful hockey team was disbanded, Capt. Hicks issued the call for base ball candidates with a view toward an equally successful base ball aggregation. As soon as the weather be- came suitable, the practice was changed from the basement to Lawrence held, which has been hired for another year. The make-up of the team this year con- tains one or two important changes. Hen- drick, the reliable left fielder of last year’s team, has donned the catcher’s mask, in which capacity he has done excellent work. Clifford caught the first game, but finding himself not quite in his element has been installed in the outfield. In the twirling department Hicks is depended on to win the harder games, although Wood has pitched remarkably good ball in several WALTER K.

Phil Taylor, at first, takes every thing that comes his way in first-class style, while Mansell at short and Mac Taylor at second are playing in a way to remind one of Parent and Ferris, of the Americans. Banks covers third base in good form, and is strong with the stick, also. Left field is occupied to good advantage by Cashman. Center field seems to be a pitcher’s alternative, and in right, Clifford, Rolfe and Marston have played, the latter at short, as well. The fielding has been on the whole much better than that is expected at this time of the year, but a little more effective batting is is needed to swell the list of victories. The season opened Friday, April 7th, on Lawrence field, with our customary first opponents from Cambridge Latin School. CCIbittemorc’s Qlyccdoma The Most Exquisite Preparation for the Skin.

ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. 7 ketch ’im with a cod line ’n a hook bigger ’n youre fist ’n a reg’lar flag pole fer a road, b’ gosh ! Some o ' these city fellers ain’t sech fools ’s they look ter be ! ” Fred S. Mead, Jr. ’05. riOZART’S LAST HYMN. An old man, his silvered hair shining in the beams of the setting snn, reclining on a low couch, a crutch resting beside him ; a beautiful young girl, her face seeming fresher and more striking in contrast with his, sitting at his side ; a cheerful fire, its light vieing with that of the sun for pre- cedence ; and last, an organ of dark ma- hogany, to whose sides the passing of years had given a sombre richness, its ivory keys glistening in the firelight and seeming al- most to look with yearning toward the couch; this is the pleasant picture. Let us turn back a leaf and see this other picture. It is the great cathedral, the empty aisles and transepts flooded with light from the stained windows, in one of which is pic- tured the form of St. Cecilia, smiling benig- nantly, with a halo shining about her brow ' . From above are heard the magnificent tones of the great organ. A young man sits be- tore the key-board, his face fired with de- votion to his occupation. The sound ceases, the organist rises and begins to descend from his height. Sud- denly he disappears; there is a sound of falling, a low moan, then all is still ; and through the painted windows the light streams unfeeling, and St. Cecilia from her place smiles down as benignantly as before. Tender hands carry the helpless man away ; afte r long weeks he gains strength, but only to find that he can no more follow the occu- pation of his love. Let us turn to the last picture. Again we see the little room with the organ. As before, the firelight flickers gaily and once more the sun shines brightly, but now ' there seems to be a tincture of sadness in the at- mosphere ; the face on the couch grows paler and w ' eaker and a strange look of pain possesses it. “ I am dying,” comes from the faded lips, and the wan face silently reiterates it. His eye, still bright, rests upon the organ in the corner. A smile lights up his face and he whispers, “ Lead me to it.” The girl takes his hand, and he totters to the instrument. A hesitating note — and then suddenly, and with infinite tenderness he brings forth the solemn strains of Mozart’s Last Re- quiem. On and on he plays, his face is suffused with a peace like a beatitude. Then the touch glow ' s weaker, the white head falls upon the breast, the hands drop from the keys — and the girl is left alone. Howard S. Russell.

ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. The visitors started off with four runs to their credit in the first inning and again in the sixth and ninth piled up a total of seven more, gained largely through loose playing on our side. Towards the close of the game the boys made a strong batting rally, but too late to secure the game. The score is as follows : — ARLINGTON ab bh po a e ab bh po a e M.
