Some time ago we fellows, un- troubled by females, enjoyed a mas- culine assembly when Judge Brown ad- dressed us.

I agree with you. Here it is : — In abolishing the “no school signal (lie School Committee was justified, as far as we are concerned; but when grammar school children are considered they are certainly at fault.

He said he wanted plans for a home that would please his children — a home that his children would love and take pride in. When the plans were sub- mitted for approval the man, his wife and their three chil- dren were present. The par- ents said nothing. The chil- dren examined the plans, made some minor changes here and there, and put their approval on the finished drawing. Then the contrac- tor submitted his estimates, the father was surprised to discover that the cost was far under what he had thought it would be. The children had actually saved him money by specifying essentials instead of what he termed “frills and refinements.” One of those essentials was gas service throughout the house.

Arlington might well have gone into that particular game either with undue confidence or with a determination to win that would have put that thought above practically all else, for they were to date 100% winners. Furthermore, they knew that the Wellesley team was going to play basketball. Up to the last whistle it was a toss of the coin which would be the victors, and the Arlington players and crowd had full cause to be anxious and keyed up to the highest pitch.
