The marching by the Junior High School Girls under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Scanlon was exceptionally well done. The exhibition by the high school girls of folk dancing, calisthenics, paral- lel bar work, free hand drill, games, stunts, and pyramids was w ell received. All this had been coached by Miss Miriam West. The work of the boys, excellently coached by Principal G. L. Neal, was parallel bars, rings, horizontal bar, diving, and tumbling. A humorous boxing bout by J. Hagerty and H. Hamilton, both dressed as clowns and on roller skates, added to the interest of the evening’s performance.

First, John Card; second, Richard Quincy; and third, Harry Spieler. On the Freshman boys’ team the awards were first, Robert Townsend; second, Burwell Casperson.

THE ECHO 27 BOYS ' BASKETBALL 1 ' he basketball season opened on January 5 at Weymouth. With no former let- ter men back, a new and inexperienced team took the floor. It was evident that experience is a deciding factor. Throughout the season the scorers were Mack, Murdock, Eddy, Megley, and George, who was easily the high scorer. Though the team didn’t win many of its games, we know they all fought bravely, tried earnestly, and lost victoriously. Congratulations to all. THE TEAM Position 1st Team 2nd Team Right Guard P.

BASEBALL Before the Baseball season started, an active town committee co-operated with a Legion committee to raise money for the purpose of buying new baseball uni- forms. Representative Roy Smith donated a Toastmaster to be put on chances; this with a successful card party provided ample funds. Before the season got under way, the Legion donated a watch fob to the player who should have the highest batting average for the season. At the time this was written, midway in the schedule, Charles George leads with a .364, Richard Quincy second with .319, Allen Murdock third, with an even .300 and fourth finds Chester Ignatowitz, only a freshman, with .235. Baseball practice got under way in earnest right after the April vacation. Coach Walsh had only two veterans, Charles George and Philip Hammond; however, by April 28, a team was listed to play Stetson High at Randolph. The boys were new and handed Stetson a game 13 to 2. On May 1 and 2 we dropped two more, the former to Weymouth Trade by an 18-8 decision, and the latter to West Bridgewater by a heart-breaking 11-10. The Weymouth game was played here. On May 5 we entertained West Bridgewater and avenged the 11-10 heart- breaker by winning 10-9. On May 19 Cohasset came here and walked away with a 23-14 victory. On May 11 in Avon we suffered another defeat to the tune of 19-3. At home on May 14 Thayer proved fodder for our second win by a 16-10 triumph.
