THE ECHO 29 Braintree At Holbrook On Wednesday, May 27, Holbrook played Braintree on its home grounds. The local boys showed great playing ability in this game. Callahan was the heavy hitter, get- ting a three bagger and a double. Kemp pitched a no hit, no run game up to the sixth inning when he seemed too good tor the Braintree boys and was repl aced by Sullivan. The final score was 21-4 in fa- vor of Holbrook, nearly all of the Holbrook boys reaching first at least once. The bat- tery for Holbrook was Kemp, Sullivan and Moran. The line-up of this season’s team is as follows: pitchers, Kemp, Sullivan, and Cal- lahan ; catcher, Moran ; first, second and third basemen, Martin, Leonard, and Hooker respectively; shortstop, J. Watkins; left, center, and right fielders, Scolemario, J. Johnston, and Callahan respectively; and substitute player, McKay. Sharon at Sharon On Tuesday, May 12, Sumner played Sharon at Sharon.

And warm and pleasant is the balmy air. We S ' eniors, when the month of June comes ’round, Become more thoughtful, thinking of the day Which now draws on so swiftly, when we must Get out and start our journey on life’s way. For four long years we’ve been in high school now. But in a short time we will all be through. Old Sumner High, we scarce can realize That we’re about to say farewell to you. A score of us, that’s all that now remain Of thirty-six who entered in the fall Of nineteen twenty-seven. Now we part. Until we meet, farewell, my classmates all. N. A. Smith, ’31. A STOWAWAY A never-ending stream of folk Pass thru the trainshed’s choky smoke. Outside the “el” trains shriek and grind. Oh, leave this clamor all behind. A sea breeze bears the ocean spray. And I am off to Boston bay. I hear a freighter blow her horn. She will be far away by dawn. The brawny crew pull in the ropes. And to the sky soar all my hopes. I clamber up the starboard side And down beneath the life boat hide. A salty tang new life bestows As o’er the waves it gaily blows. And we are bound for Singapore — I should have thought of that before. Marian Jervey, ’31. AT DURFEE HIGH At half past one we all rushed out. And not a one of us did pout. For Durfee High we all were bound If, by chance, it could be found. Hot chocolate was served at the school; This sure was good, for the day was cool. Then to our separate meetings we went. Each on a different mission bent. For an hour we danced in Durfee’s hall. But all were ready for the dinner call. A delicious meal was on the table, And we ate all that we were able. We then enjoyed a program fine, I.asting until a little past nine. Riding home did not seem long As Hayden amused us with his song. Helen Morsi .

Sullivan left his umbrella in the stand in a hotel recently with a card bearing the following inscription attached to it: “This umbrella belongs to a man who can deal a blow — 250 pounds weight. I shall be back in 10 minutes. On returning to claim his property he found in its place a card thus inscribed : This card was left by a man who can run 12 miles an hour. I shall not be back. ♦ ♦ Mr. Walsh (In geography class) :“What is Boston noted for.” John Mullin: “Boots and shoes.” Mr. Walsh: “Correct, and Chicago?” Mullin: “Shoots and booze.” ♦ ♦ ♦ The English class had been told to write an essay on Lincoln, and Bernard wrote : “Abraham Lincoln was born on a bright summer day, the 12th day of February, 1809. He was born in a log cabin he had helped his father to build.” ♦ ♦ K « G. Dyer: Who invented work?

Miss Maguire: Yes, if you can under- stand it, but I thought he was above your understanding. George E.: Why, how tall is he? J. Mack: What shall we do tonight? J. Smith: I’ll spin a coin. If it’s heads, we go to a show; tails, we go to a dance; and if it stands on edge, we study. “This poem is very good,” remarked Miss Megley during an English class. “Is it your own work?” “Yes” replied H. Walsh. “Then I am very happy to meet you, Mr. Shakespeare; I heard you had been dead a long time.” Norman Smith: “Gimme a quarter’s worth of rat poison.” H.
