Front row: Emory Mann, Francis Moran, Joseph Callahan, Leroy McKay, John Johnston. BASKETBALL Sumner’s boys have received some ex- cellent training this year by Mr. Walsh, our basketball coach. Most of the team this year are new at the game and need a lot of experience. Prior to the regular season, we played two preliminary games with the Alumni. The first game was really a rough and tumble game for the ball. Our boys fumbled the ball and both clubs did a lot of fouling. The Alumni didn’t have any set plays of any description, so the boys couldn’t put into use the plays which Mr. Walsh had taught them. The second game was much better; we managed to keep the ball in our possession and scored against the Alumni. We lost the first but won the sec- ond. Mr. Walsh had a club, called the Colle- gians, come from Brockton. They showed us real class in handling the ball. Halla- more was the leader of this club. They beat us easily; in fact, they didn’t take half the shots they might have taken if they had wanted to. The regular season started January 9 when our boys played West Bridgewater on the home floor. The game during the fiist half seemed very much in favor of Howard, Sumner having but a couple oi’ baskets to her credit. In the second half, Mann broke loo.se and shot three or four baskets from the middle of the floor. But try as they would, our boys couldn’t catch up with the club from West Bridgewater. The game was fast and showed a marked improvement in the playing of our boys. Howard beat us by a score of 22 — 14. Roberts was referee of the game. The second game of the season was the following Tuesday, January 12. This game was with Sharon, on our own court. Some- how our boys seemed to be all out of form that night. None of them seemed able to break loose. We lost by a score of 24 — 10. During the following week, Mr. Walsh got the faculty team, made up of the men teachers of Randolph and Holbrook, to play us one afternoon. This team proved to be a good one. No wonder! Mr. Neal and Mr. Walsh played on it against us. There was plenty of scrapping for the ball, but noth- ing could be done to stop the onslaught of the faculty. Friday, January 23, our boys went over to Randolph to give the Stetson boys a bat- tle. The game proved to be slow the first half. However, Mr. Walsh gave us a snappy talk, while the girls were playing, and the second half showed the results ot it. It was the roughest game our boys have played this year. During this half, we held them to three ])()ints and gained six or seven bas- kets ourselves. Hooker gave us a break.

MOVING PICTURES Moving Pictures in school every other Wednesday have been mostly educational, scientific, travel, and of nature, with a few reels of comedy. One scientific picture was the Mystery of Wireless which showed us how telephones were constructed, how electrons worked, and how wireless messages were sent over the world. Pillars of Salt showed how salt was farmed, how it was taken out of the earth, refined, and packed. The Gate Way to the West was a three reel picture from the Yale Series; Nonook of the North in six reels, told of the life and customs of the people in the cold North. The Modern Hercules showed the making and shipping of dynamite; Steam Boats showed the first Steam Boats ever used up to the present day boats. Travel with Will Roger in Germany and in Ireland, Forest people of Central Africa, Houses of Tropics and the Arctic, a bit of Life in Java. The Mosiac all showed customs of these coun- tries. The International Ice Patrol showed the Coast Guard and their work in the ice- berg regions, warning other vessels of the icebergs. The nature pictures were. Hunting Moose, showing close ups of many large ones on land and in the water; Ants, Na- tures’s craftsmen, showing how the ants destroy and kill other insects and also harm things themselves. Then for a contrast we had five come- I 1 dies: Aesops Fables, School Day’s, Smitty, W ' atch our smoke, and College Days. These moving pictures were given on May 8. Ten Years Ago, a war picture in two reels, showed many scenes on the bat- tlefield, scenes of the American soldiers leaving this country, and arriving over there, of the Armistice day, and of the soldiers’ reception upon returning to Amer- ica. There were maps showing how the war had changed some countries and made new ones. The next picture was The Raising of the Submarine S51 off Block Island. There was a diagram showing how the Submarine was sunk by the Steamship City of Rome on her way to New York. Her location was found by the oil on the top of the water. At first derricks were used to try to raise it to the surface, but these were nearly submerged in there effort. Work with the derricks was stopped. Nine months was spent in build- ing pontoons, which are like large barrels with air valves and water valves. These also contain a large pipe where heavy chains are dropped through. The pontoons are filled with water and are sent to the bottom. Divers follow them to get the chains around the submarine. The w ater is then let out, and the air enters so that the pontoons rise to the top, thus bringing up the object. Three members of the subma- rine were saved. There was also a one reel comedy. This was supposed to be a reproduction of parts of Uncle Toni’s Cabin, when the dogs were crossing the ice.
