i TRACK SQUAD Tonsberg ran beautifully, as he had all season, and missed beating Driscoll of Brighton by a but a fair season, his leadership and great in- dividual running were an inspiration to all the bare inch. His time, l::23:5 was especially good. others. Dick deserves credit, for, although the squad had Baseball by QfzafLZe4 fffynn It is always the unfortunate gesture of each Year Bookv to give but a Hitting glance at the baseball situation at every school. This is par- ticularly clue to the fact that the printer must have material to Work with long before the team is picked. Coach Bill Pendergast has already called out the candidates for his prospective baseball team and it looks as it we ought to have a good season. VVe have a few old stand-bys returning from last yearis team: Dick Tracy, Bill Cahill, Vin Milano, Bill Quigley, Ernie Canem, XVilliam Henderson and your reporter. Mr. Joseph Evans, coach of the V fs is also doing his part by sending up a lot of material from the Javees and they look pretty good up to this point. This is about all that can be said about the team except that We hope you will be there when the first ball of the season is pitched, to inspire the team on to a banner year.

Track Ai, feng Qaaefiffaid Dorchester Technical Latin Although the track team looked good in the first meet against Technical and Latin School, due to the fine performances of Capt. Dick Tons- berg in the 600 and james Rohan and Arthur Rubin in the jumping events, it was forced to accept defeat. However, the bright spot of Rohans fine jumping - a first place in the broad jump - gave solace to our boys. Tonsberg's time of l:26:6 in the 600 would have Won against ordinary competition. But Dick was pitted against the schoolboy champ, Lacey of Technical, at that he forced his op- pcinent to the limit. john fjakej Hanna ran a beautiful race to win the 1000-yard run and proved himself a bul- wark of strength to the team.

Wfaanezf VVhat promised to be an out-standing year for our N-9 Radio class terminated unfortunate- ly because of program changes necessitated by 0l'Cl6l'S from Beacon Street transfering our di- rector, Mr. William Cunningham. These changes brought about the cessation of our activities. The class, therefore, was discontinued and the boys transferred to other classes. Our story does not end there. The Central Radio VVorkshop, under the direction of Mr. Robert Schimmel, Radio Coordinator for the Boston Public Schools and a former member of the faculty of D. H. S. B., has on his staff one of our boys, Jerry Rosenfield. The workshop consists of a group of fellows and girls, one or more from each school, who put in an afternoon a week learning all they can about radio. They have done a wonderful job this their first season broadcasting 10 radio programs Un March 5, your reporter was sent to station WMEX as representative of D. H. S. B. on the one-hour Boston Public Schools Disc Iockey Program. He received an album of records from the studio for being its guest. The program for 1949 -50 anticipates the 1'e- opening of the Radio Class if a sufficient number of pupils indicate that they wish to join. The class will be under the able direction of Mr. John Desmond who plans to utilize all the facilities for voice reproduction which the school now possesses. There will be recordings on the wire recorder, assemblies using the microphones, etc. The coming Radio Class has marvellous facilities at their disposal, an ambitious teacher for their director, and in M1'. Schimmel - a good friend as their coordinator. The classes in radio which have yet not materialized have the best wishes of the class of 1948-49 for all the success in thc world. Good luck Mr. John Desmond.
