ALUMNI NEWS 47 Washington Street, Ipswich, Mass.. June 12, 1921. Dear Manning: Do you realize how many of our alumni are graduating from college this year? There are Harold and “Cl iff ' ’ Bolles from Harvard, Everett Tucker from “Tech,” and Pauline Goodh e from Mt. Holyoke, Thelma Damon and Margaret Reilly are graduating from Salem Normal. Besides these, Lucy Sturgis and Edith Spyut lately finished at Burdett. And I’m sure there must be more than I jlon ’t know of. Old Ipswich is well represented in some of our leading colleges this fall, don’t you think so ? We seem to be rather well represented in the various lawyers’ offices in town also. “Bea” Connor is in Mr. Welsh’s, Elsie Harris in Mr. Raymonds’, and Althea Hayes in that of her father, Judge Hayes. I wonder what has become of Sam Gor- don and Austin Caverly? A short time ago they were taking a post-graduate course, but it seems to be a case of “now you see ’em, now you don ’t. ” We notice that Mary Nurse is still with us. Did you know that Cleola Davis had been ill again? She has been trying to take a post-graduate course but she’s had many interruptions. She was out-doors for the first time Memorial Day and seems to be getting better. Well, Manning, this is my first report and a very poor one. I have high hopes of doing something wonderful for you when school begins in September. Yours sincerely, Evelyn Bamford. The annual concert of the Glee Club was held on Wednesday evening, June 8.

ATHLETICS Friendship by which they were always bound together. For Miss Bisson I have this little store, in which she may open a fashion shop, and I think I can assure her of the patronage of all the young ladies of the town. For Miss Caldwell, I have tin ' s note book, and in it, especial lv suggested by Shakes- peare, are a f.n-. rhyme words which she may be able to uoe in her poems. The first are tam, lamb, Sam. What a loci: of rage ! I ’ll off and give her the stage. Richard Hodgkins — 1921. ODE : CLASS OF 1921 (Tune of Welsh Hymn, “Ton-y-Botel”) Now at last our course is finished And the corner-stone is laid ; Straight the years stretch on to the future And the start in life is made ; And what all have done before us, Each one of us soon will do : Live and love and work and suffer, Then we’ll join Death’s myriad crew. Peaked rocks and flounting jungles, Desert sands and stretching plain, Cities towering to the heavens, Islands in the azure main,- All yield up to death, their master, Thousands of thousands infinite; We, a handful lost in millions, Soon are gone in conquering night. If no trace of us stays after, Passing to a dim beyond, We stand lost in millions countless, Why by right and truth be bound? Why fix lines ’twixt vice and virtue? Why the choice Twix good and bad, Since to dust we part forgotten And are partners of the sod? God thinks not of us in thousands, For He judges each by each; Put this should not be what sways us After right and truth to leach, mfe upon this earth is fleeting, To draw from it all we can Ts to crown the mind with virtue, Thus to make the finished man. H. N. Doughty, Jr. — 1921. Baseball The team this year was noi: so good as the majority of former teams have been. While the players as individuals were as good as their opponents, the team lacked the organization which only coaching and regular practice can give. Dondero, Kalaboke, M. WTiittier, Brown, and Swasey have played good baseball throughout the season. The following games were played : Alumni 5 — M. H. S. 16 Dummer 8 — M. H. S. 1 Groveland 9 — M. H. S. 8 (10 innings) Georgetown 0 — M. H. S. 16 Merrimac 7 — M. H. S. 2 Dummer 18 — M. H. S. 1 Saugus 12— M.H. S. 4 Salem 11 — M. H. S. 4 Manchester 6 — M. H. S. 5 Merrimac 5 — M. H. S. 3 Groveland 1 — M. H. S. 14 Danvers 12 — M. H. S. 11 (10 innings) Johnson 7 — M. H. S. 8 Although we lose Brown, Witham, Whit- tier, and Hayes, the outlook for next year is good. If everyone who played this year is eligible and a coach is obtained, we should have a winning team. Field Day Field day was a success in every way. There was much competition as every class hoped to gain the most points and win the cup. The Sophomores won, with the Junior High a close second. The boys from the Junior High made a very good showing. This may be due partly to the fact that he contestants were divided so that each one was competing with boys his own size. Burke’s work in the Senior 440 and the jumping of Kent, Ralph, and Kalaboke were features of the afternoon. J . Calla- han was the high scorer of the day, win- ning 21 points.
