The HAMILTONIAN 29 The junior high is also having a baseball team this year; and, up to date, four games have been sched- uled, two with Wenham and two with Topsfield. We would give you the dates for these games if it were not for the fact that they are “subject to change without notice.” r HIS year the football team of Hamilton High was lighter than in previous years, but more evenly balanced. The season was opened with a win over St. John’s High of Danvers which seemed to forecast a successful season. Such was not the case, however, for the team went to defeat in the remaining games. The nlavers, nevertheless, deserve much nraise for doing as well as they d ' d. Always fighting and striving to win over every kind of onoosition. they were a credit to Hamilton High.

As all of the events have not been concluded, the winners are un- certain as yet; but it is highly prob- able that one of last year’s champions may repeat his triumph. For those in doubt as to what a decathalon really is, or consists of, we wish to say that it is an athletic contest made up of ten different events. In this case they are : 1. Push Ups 2. Chin the Bar 3. Standing Broad Jump 4. Running Broad Jump 5. High Jump 6. Baseball Throw (Soft Ball) 7. 50- Yard Dash 8. Half Levers 9. Free Throws (Basketball) 10. Shot Put The winners in the three classes, junior, intermediate, and senior are decided by the sum total of points each has received in the whole decathelon.

BOYS’ ATHLETIC REPORT BASEBALL PRACTICE A LTHOUGH we had no baseball team last year because of appar- ent lack of interest by the students, the sport is being resumed this year ; and hopes are high for a winning season. The players were chosen for the nine positions on the basis of their showings in the inter-class games played earlier this season. Each of the upper four classes had its base- l.all team, and games were played with the other three teams. The juniors were victorious in the tourna- ment, winning all of the games and defeating the seniors for the final championship. E’O ' ht games have already been scheduled for the varsity, with two open days. We regret not being able to have the scores for all of the games. As ' the Hamiltonian goes to press before the season will be completed, it is impossible to give the scores. However, here is the schedule.

The latter at first seemed a little difficult, but proved very inter- esting and was certainly worth the time we spent on it. We also studied The Void Bug, written by Edgar Allan Poe. We agree with many critics that this is one of the best mysteries among the classics. Our most recent study, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, has proved to be the favorite story of the year; and it is quite certain that Long John Silver and Jim are special friends of the class. We had several other short stories which acfiuainted us with popular authors of classic literature.
