THE TATLER 21 M-V-L BASEBALL CHAMPIONS Last year's baseball team was one of the best ever seen by Rockport fans. The boys went undefeated through the season with a 10-0 record, being pushed to the limit only once by Bristol in a game which we won 8-7. Our infield was composed of Dennis Merrill at first base, Maurice Buster Kennedy at second, Dave Pound at short stop, and Sonny Went- worth and Sandy Graffam alternating at third. Walter Pendleton played left field. Center field was taken most of the time by George Starr, with Richard Sahninen playing that position in a few games. Carl Rhodes and Steve Fisher took turns at right field. The catcher was Dick Turner, and the pitchers were Buster Kennedy, George Winslow, Richard Salminen, Bill Bar- bour, and Jimmy Annis. Other players doing fine work were Charlie Crockett, Keith May, Carroll Peasley and Lawrence Frye. Although seven of the starting nine will not be with us this year, we hope for and expect another championship year.

Suddenly it leaped into the air, came down, glided smoothly a short distance, leaped into the air-up again, down again. A startled traffic officer signaled Keith to the curb. What's the matter with this car? he demanded. N-nothing sir, replied Keith. I've got the hiccups! GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN A kindhearted farmer told Basil Robinson, whose load of hay had overturned in the road, to forget his troubles and come in and have dinner with his family. There would be time enough to right the hay rack after a good meal. Basil demurredg he said he didn't think his father would like it. But the farmer persisted and won. Af- ter the meal, Basil said he felt better and he expressed his appreciation of the hospi- tality. At the same time he was sure his father wouldn't like it. Nonsense, said the host. By the way why are you so worried about your father? He's under the hay! said Basil.
