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.

STUDENT COUNCIL Early in the school year 1938-39 the Student Council was formed at the sug- gestion of Mr. Garland Neal, principal of this hish school, for the purpose of financing school athletics and activities and settling any questions that might come. It was also to see that ballots were prepared for any elections and to see that the school was run according to parliamentary order. The representatives to the Council were elected by majority in the proportion of four Senior repre- sentatives, three Junior, two Sophomores, and one Freshman. Each club and squad in the school was also allowed to elect one representative. In October the first official meeting was called and the following officers were elected: chair- man, Jean Gagnon; secretary, Pauline Rayner; and treasurer, Ruth Johnson. Pauline Rayner was later replaced by Corrinne Terrazano. The council was then ready for action and started upon the problem of financing; school sports. The first activity toward this end was a bean supper, in which the Council was aided by Miss Elna Knutson, Miss Anna Damon, and Mr. Garland Neal. Next the council joined with the Senior class in the arranging of a St. Patrick’s Day- dance. There were also social activities in which the Council members took part. The first of these was a conferenee in Boston to which the delegates were Zoe Polisson and Ruth Johnson. The topic of discussion was “How Can the Student Council Help Promote Public Safety.” The semi-annual Conference of Stu-
