22 THE CHIMES The Semaphore, Stoughton, Mass. The Spice Box, Avon, Mass. The Student's Pen, East Bidgewater, Mass. The Distaff, Boston, Mass. The Quill, Kingston, Mass. The Echo, Canton, Mass. The Pilgrim, Plymouth, Mass. The Hanoverian, Hanover, Mass. The Climber, West Bridge water, Mass. The Menotomy Beacon, Arhngton, Mass. The Burxlett Lion, Boston, Mass. The Meteor, Berlin, N. H. AS WE SEE OTHERS The poetry department in the Pilgrim is fine. The poem entitled ' A Moonlight Fantasy, written by V. Bailey, '26, is especially well done. Also, the cover design is unique. We consider the cover design on the Menotoyyiy the best yet. Y's Krax is a good title, but the material in this column could be improved. We suggest that the Quill develop an exchange column. We enjoyed the articles concerning ''Winter Sports in the Meteor, but we missed the stories. The titles heading the Class Notes in the Student's Pen are particularly good. The appearance of the Hanoverian would be improved if the advertisements were not scattered through tbe magazine. The Alumni editor of the Semaphore has certainly done her duty. The Enterprise has arranged its paper neatly. We suggest that they use more striking colors to bring out their cover design. We enjoyed the article in the Distaff telling of its source. Their cuts are appropriate and well drawn. Gertrude Wherity, '28. Katherine Somers, '28.

A RAMBLE Over the wall and down the slope, Through the winding path, beneath the trees To the rushing torrent of Fulling Mill Brook, Where the Clethra blossoms to feed the bees. When radiant sunset gilds the sky, And the brown leaves flutter and dance in the breeze When the shadows lengthen as night draws nigh Carefree I wander and feel at ease. Priscilla Brown, '28.

THE CHIMES 23 GIRLS' ATHLETICS BASEBALL NOTES The Scituate High School Girls' Baseball Team of 1926 had a very successful season. They won every game they played and as a result were challenged by the ''Dearest Enemy Chorus Girls' Baseball Team. The challenge was accepted and the game was played at the Civic Center. It was a very un- usual game and the High School girls showed their ability in playing baseball when they defeated ''Dearest Enemy, 10-9. A few days later an invitation was received from Helen Ford, star of Dearest Enemy, to witness the performance of the show at the Tremont Theatre. A party of sixteen attended the show and thoroughly enjoyed it. The baseball team was composed of the following girls : Rose Hernan, catcher ; Glea Cole, pitcher ; Catherine Murphy, captain and first baseman ; Sally Murphy, third baseman ; Gretchen Schuyler, short stop; Ethel Stonefield, left field; Velma Ainslee, right field ; Ruth LaVange, manager. The girls will be aw arded white letters. The team's record for last year is : Marshfield 7 Scituate 42 Hingham 18 Scituate 26 Cohasset 3 Scituate 33 Hingham 6 Scituate 17 Marshfield 2 Scituate 87 Cohasset 2 Scituate 15 Bridgewater 6 Scituate 32 Bridgewater 3 Scituate 30 Dearest Enemy, 9 Scituate 10 TRACK NOTES Girls' athletics began in earnest toward the latter part of September, 1926, when a call was issued for a track team. About thirty girls answered the summons and reported every Monday and Wednesday afternoon for practice under the direction of Mr. Riley. Pits for broad and high jumping were made and running was practised on the track. Considering that this is the first time the girls have tried a project like this, exceptionally good progress was made.
