20 THE HUTTLESTONIAN BOYS 5 ATHLETICS Football is undoubtedly the most important sport at Fair- haven High School. We have always been proud, and justly so, of our football teams. We have cause for honorable pride, too, in the team that showed such cooperative spirit, and such fine playing ability during the past season under the able leadership of Joseph Gomes, Captain. The following is the record achieved by that team: Fairhaven 42 Fairhaven 13 Fairhaven 21 Fairhaven 7 Fairhaven 6 Fairhaven 0 Fairhaven 26 Fairhaven 13 Fairhaven 2 Fairhaven 26 Colt Memorial 0 Coyle 0 Dartmouth 0 Durfee 6 Bridgewater 0 Whitman 13 Burrilville 6 Attleboro 0 New Bedford 6 Kingston 0 The student body should also be complimented for its fine support of its teams and for its excellent conduct at the games. In almost every school there is one student, at least, who distinguishes himself extraordinarily in athletics. Fairhaven has more than its share of these, but like other schools it has one student who, because of his versatility in all of the major sports, and marked ability in each, deserves a spot a little above the others. We salute you, Frank Perry, Bristol County Football Team, Captain of the basketball team, miler on the track team, and member of the baseball team. Commendation on their prowess should be given, in addition, to: Alfred Wylodyka—Bristol County Football Team, Cap¬ tain of the track team, co-captain of the gym team.

THE HUTTLESTONI AN 19 Asylum by William Seabrook Jean Marks announces— after seven months confine¬ ment as a confirmed drunkard, in a ' mental hospital,’ Wil¬ liam Seabrook has written a book, which excellently carries out the proverb that truth is often stranger than fiction.” Discovery by Richard E. Byrd Richard Carpenter asserts— Discovery shows the love of a man for Antarctic life, and pictures the vivid experience of those who wintered there.” On Getting Rid of Freckles RB you cursed with freckles? If you are, or ever have been, you will understand my plight. Ever since I was old enough to look into a mirror and realize that the spotted thing at which I was peering was a reflection of my own speckled face, I have been con¬ fronted with the problem of how to remove my freckles. My mother once told me that by eating carrots I would be able to get rid of these unwelcome spots, so thereafter, I ate the vegetable until I thought I would turn into one. My mother must have been mistaken, as I have not lost any of my constant companions. At one time I removed a freckle from the very tip of my nose, but as the method was not very pleasant, I have not tried it since. The miracle happened while I was roller skat¬ ing. It seems that I took a spill and as I did so, I scraped my nose against a stone wall, taking off the biggest and most obvious of all my spots. Since then, I have resorted to drastic methods such as buying freckle creams, and applying them every night before going to bed. As none of the means I have ever tried have proved to be of any value, I suppose I will just have to be con¬ tent with them or try to laugh them off. Cecelia Barnes, ’37

Very little is said about the managers of our various teams; they are the unsung heroes of sport. Few of us realize their duties and responsibilities. They have charge of the equipment, and the transportation and condition of such depends greatly upon them. So, in order to partly compensate them for their labors, we think it fitting to dedicate this column to the managers of our various activities and may they profit by the realization that we, at least, think of them! Harold W. Woodcock, ’37. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Basketball After a successful hockey season, the girls of the Fair- haven High School formed their regular basketball teams. Al¬ though there have always been girls’ basketball teams, these teams are different from those of other years. In the past only a varsity team and class teams were formed. Now, however, every girl who wishes is allowed to join a team. This plan seems to be working out very successfully. Bowling Something new and different has been started by the girls’ gym instructor, Miss Anna E. Simmons, — a bowling team. The girls who have joined this team meet every Wednesday
