16 Oak, Lily and Ivy. The pennant so gloriously won by our heroes of the diamond, Milford High School Base-Ball Team, has arrived, and now ornaments the wall of our assem¬ bly hall. It is a crimson banner with gold trimmings and lettering, and bears the inscription: Midland Inter scholastic League Base-Ball Championship , 1915 , won by Milford High School. The recent statement of Mr. FitzGerald, treasurer of the Athletic Associa¬ tion shows the financial condition of the organization to be very good, $151.72. being in the treasury in September, Milford High has this year very promising material for a championship football team. First call for practice was answered by a squad of thirty candi¬ dates. Seven veterans a re left from last year’s squad, and around these men a fast eleven is assured under the diligent coaching of Messrs. Berry and Cenedella. The veterans are Capt. Olivieri, Hilton, Sprague, Vesperi, Zurlo, Morelli, and Dalton. Among the recruits are Grayson, G. Bruce, J. Bruce, Larkin, Solari, Kelley, E. Nelson, J. Nelson, J. Gaffney, McClure, L. Shea, H. Shea, Spindle, Cal¬ abrese, Candini and F. Gaffney. The schedule follows: Sept. 28 Milford at Worcester Trade. Oct. 2 Worcester Commercial at Milford. 9 Boston College High School at Milfod. 12 Alumni at Milford. (A. M.) 16 Walpole High at Milford. 20 Framingham at Milford. 23 Marlboro at Milford. 30 Open Nov. 6 Natick at Milford. 13 Westboro at Milford. 17 Milford at Framingham- 20 Norwood at Milford. 25 Open. On September 28 the team journeyed to Worcester and there were defeat¬ ed to the tune of 60 to 0 by the heavy Worcester Trade eleven. Considering class and weight of the Worcester team, Milford’s showing was not so bad as the score would indicate.

FROM OUR The exchange column is one of the most interesting in a school paper. Through the medium of this column, we learn what other schools are doing in line of athletics, social affairs, and studies. We enjoy the exchange of confidences, and we want to make others feel the same towards our column. We desire that our column shall not be an Exchange Column for our school papers alone, but also an exchange of ideas and friendship. We want you to criticise our magazine, its editorials and stories, and we promise that we shall fairly and honestly judge all papers submitted to us. In its exchange of ideas, and friend¬ ly criticisms, we hope that our column may be of aid to others, and we trust that we shall gain new ideas from them.

Miss Ford: Oxygen aids combustion; hydrogen is a combustible, and water—” O’Brien: Water puts it out.” Mr. Berry in algebra: Now that you have the 4x, tell me how to get the x.” Miss Cervone: Well, my mother always said to get it by the handle, for fear I should get hurt.” Kimball (soliloquizing): I want to be a doctor, but whether a medical or a dental, I don’t know.” Hickey: “Veterinary would be the best, I think.” Miss Callanan (in English): “Gaffny, read to the class your description of a nickel.” Gaffny: A Nickel is a piece of money, made of a malleable and ductile metal after which it takes its name. It is worth five whole cents. It has a diameter which I do not know and a circumference 3 1-7 times the diameter.” Freshman: “My feet were so cold this morning that I was unable to IrM the pen in my hand.” Miss Swift (Translation): “Le matelot, sans repondre, se mit a siffler.”
