OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 Now that the football season has begun we naturally begin to consider the chances of the team, to count the veterans still with us, and to discuss the merits and faults of the new members. We are facing a year which gives promise of being very successful for many of the old men have returned, including McCue, (Capt.), Fales, Howard, J. Duggan, E- Duggan, G. Grayson, Hilton, Coombs, Newcomb and Carey. The new material, too, looks very promising. Under the discipline of such a coach as Fred Cenedella the team may confidently be expected to be so well manned and trained that all games must be ours. The schedule, arranged by Manager Quirk, is a splendid one. It reads as follows: Sept. 30, Needham There Oct. 4, Pawtucket There Oct. 12, a. m., South Framingham Here Oct. 14, Natick There Oct. 21, Marlboro There Oct. 28, Natick Here Nov. 1, Westboro Here Nov- 4, Hudson Undecided Nov. 7, Leominster Here Nov. 11, Marlboro Here Nov. 15, Leominster There Nov. 18, Open Nov. 22, South Framingham There Nov. 25, Woonsocket Here Nov. 30, a. m., Alumni, pending Consistent team work will secure our victories, but team work must be re¬ inforced by the enthusiasm of the entire school. The team needs steady and rous¬ ing cheering under a competent cheer-leader. Season tickets are now for sale and may be purchased from James Quirk or Allen Kennedy. It is hoped that a large number may be sold this year. At a meeting of the Athletic Association Sept. 15, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President and treasurer, Dr. Derry; vice-president, Ernest Hilton; secretary, Miss M. Williams, ’12. The members of the Executive Committee are: R. Newcomb, ’12, L. Jones,’ ’12, R. Howard, ’13- A very inter¬ esting debate was held before the last two named were elected. On Oct. 5, John F- Keane and William F. Welch were elected cheer-leaders. A league called the Midland Interscholastic League was formed recently. Mil¬ ford, Natick, South Framingham, Marlboro, Hudson and Westboro high schools form this league. A meeting of the principals of these schools took place in South Framingham Sept. 30 and it was voted to pay one half ol the annual cues of $5 at that time. Of this resulting amount $5 was appropriated to be expended by the secretary in purchasing a pennant as a permanent trophy for the chain-

This summer brought many changes in the school system of Milford, chief among them the change in principalship of the high school. It was with the keenest regret that the town received the news of the resignation of Mr. Edward R. Clarke who, in his three years of service here, brought the school to a level of merit never before attained, and who, by his vigorous manliness and personal magnetism won great popularity, and the lasting esteem of every pupil in the school. To him the pupils of the Milford High School extend the hope of great success in his work in Leominster High school. To his successor, Dr. Geo. Hermann Derry, they extend the heartiest greeting and welcome. Dr. Derry comes well equipped to take up the work of the principalship. Long preparation in some of the best schools in America, and extensive study in foreign universities have well fitted him for the exacting duties of the position. With this, the first number of the twenty-eighth volume, the Oak, Lily and Ivy is placed once more before the alumni and pupils of the Milford High school. Annually for nearly thirty years, the paper has passed into the care of a new board of editors, who, in turn, have accepted the two-fold task—the upholding of the standard of former years, and the further development of the paper in literary merit. The present editors hope to produce a paper worthy of the school. To do it, they must have the unwavering support of the entire student body in subscriptions and manuscripts; they must feel that every pupil is willing to do hi§ part to make the Oak, Lily and Ivy the best paper in the state. Expression of loyalty can come most strongly in the abundance of matter sent in for publication. Pupils, this is y our paper; it is conducted for you and by you! Show that abundant school-spirit, of which the school is so proud, by financial, material and literary support.

The colors for the league are green and gold and the pennant is to be inscribed in the following manner: Midland Interscholastic League Football Championship 1911 Won by -High School.

Each principal has the privilege of handing in the name of one man who will act as referee and who will receive not over $5 for his services in championship games. Robert W. Lamb of the Milford Daily Journal was the selection of our principal, Dr. Derry. From this list the Secretary of the League will ap- . point a referee for each game, but he must not be a resident of the home towns of the contesting teams. Furthermore the referee’s expenses are to be paid by the school of the town in which the contest occurs- Other officials will be chosen by the contestants. It was also voted that whenever the principal or teacher of the visiting eleven is not present, a certified list of players should be sent before the game to the principal of the school with whom the contest is to be played. Sept. 30 our team journeyed to Needham and after a hard uphill fight lost by the score of 2 - 0 - This score however is considered very good by us and even by the coach because it was our first game against a heavier and veteran team.
