Mitchell were the rnnners-np. Miss Darling came out victor, and re- ceived a handsome silver cup presented by Mr. Gilbert. Miss Hooker won the second cup, a silver trophy presented by the management of the tournament. r.CLPPIEF. The following exchanges arrived too late for acknowledgment in the ( Tarion : •‘11)13 Glass Hook, Burlington High School. ••The Recorder. Springfield High Schools. The Mirror. Waltham High School. The Marion,” West Roxbury High School. The Glarion has an excellent liter- ary department, but is lacking in an exchange column. The Recorder is an unusually well- arranged paper. A few more stories would add greatly to its interest, how- ever. The exchange column in The Mir- ror is especially good. The paper con- tains many good stories, too.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 1 3 Wednesday, Oct. 7, at Quincy. Al- though our men were outweighed, they put up a stiff fight, and held their op- ponents to one touchdown, the score being (5 to 0 in Quincy's favor. On this occasion Mansell and Cousins played their usual fast game. It was in this first game that Berquist showed up so brilliantly. He received much good practice while playing with Somerville last year. On Oct. !) the hoys went to the Brown and Nichols field to play a scrimmage with that team. The score was not counted. The third game was played at the home grounds on Oct. Iff, with Stone ham. Captain Mansell played a brill- iant and fast game, ably seconded by the rest of his ream mates. There were two very spectacular plays during the second half of the game. Stoneham had advanced the ball steadily down the field by a series of line plunges until Arlington's five-yard line was reached, when they were held for downs. Dun can passed the ball to Spencer, who faked a punt. The ruse worked, and Spencer was able to run down the field for a gain of forty yards. In the last quarter of play, Cousins received the ball on Arlington's forty-yard line, and rushed the remaining fifty yards for a touchdown, making the final score IS— 0. The game, on the whole, was easy, but, withal, well played. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE. Team Date Quincy at Quincy Oct. 7 Stoneham at Arlington Oct. Iff Natick at Arlington Oct.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION ‘5 English club. The English Clnb made an auspicious opening at its initial meeting of the year, held in the Assembly Hall on Wednesday afternoon. Oct. 2:2, 1913, at 3.30 o’lock. Miss Furdon, ’14, and Wunderlich, '14, presided, and gave a cordial welcome to all present, espe- cially to the newcomers. The consti- tution was read, and Crowley. '14, was elected secretary for the ensuing year. Miss Woodend, ’15, opened the pro- gram with a piano solo. Hondo Ca- pricc-ioso,” by Mendelssohn, which was well executed and appreciatively re- ceived. The literary theme of the afternoon was Old England.” Miss MacBride. '1C , gave a short his- tory of the ballad in English literature, and then reci ted The Bold Pedler and Robin Hood.” Miss Eberhardt, ’14, Miss Clare, '14. and Miss Kennedy. ’16, in costume, sang an old English song, entitled The Three Old Maids of Lee.” Miss Stickney, ’14. read an original paper on The Origin of Hallowe’en.” Miss Morgan, ’15, who travelled in England this vacation, undertook the difficxdt task of lecturing on some of the places which she visited. She was assisted by the stereopticon, and slides of her own procuring. This was a novel feat for a student, and was cred- itably accomplished. The meeting ended with the singing of the IPa tional anthem, “America.” The popularity of the English Club, as well as the educational value of its work, was shown by the large attend- ance at this meeting, and it is hoped i hat the new students will join the club, and so secure the benefits to be derived from an organization of this kind. The November meeting will be in charge of Miss Eberhardt, 14. and Goldsmith, 14. Crowley, 14, Sec. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB. The first meeting of the Girls’ Glee Club was held on September 29.
