GRADUATION NUMBER Cunningham 3b Concord ab bh po 3 0 1 Stoneham, 6 to 3 A ninth inning rally by the Wakefield High baseball team beat the Stoneham High nine in the opening game of the season at the Pomeworth Street grounds, 6 to 3. Both teams were staging a nip and tuck battle until the ninth frame when Wakefield pushed three runs across the plate to win the ball game. Almost every inning Stoneham had men on the sacks but failed to hit in the pinches while Wakefield bunched their hits for all its runs. With the score tied three all at the beginning of the ninth inning, Hubbard, the first Wakefield batter, was passed, Lewis sent him along with a bunt and Cotter sin- gled. Doyle beat out a slow roller and Ball doubled to score three runs and win the ball game. Dearborn relieved Theroux in the box for Stoneham in the sixth inning and was not as effective as the latter.

THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC Stoneham pitcher has done since the days of “Doc” Harris. Stoneham opened the scoring in the second inning when “Bed” Marston connected fo r a double across the road. “Bed” scored on the next play when Captain Adzigian’s hot grounder went through the second baseman. “Adzie” continued on to second when Concord made a play at the plate. Lundregan sent Adzigian home with the second run on his infield out, which completed the scoring for the inning. Stoneham added three more runs in the third frame. Widell opened the in- ning with a single and advanced on “Sonny” Doherty’s sacrifice. Kent, Marston, and Adzigian reached safely on miscues by the Concord infield, and “Joe” Lundregan cleaned the sacks with a clean double to left center. The local boys continued the bom- bardment in the fourth inning, chalk- ing up two more markers after “Vinny” Hughes opened the inning with a safe drive to center field and stole second base. “Sonny” Doherty worked Flan- nery for a base on balls, and Hughes went to third on Widell’s sacrifice fly to right field. “Al” Kent crashed a double over the center fielder’s head, scoring Hughes and Doherty. Westby relieved Flannery in the sixth inning and held Stoneham batters for the remainder of the game. Theroux held the Concord batters in check throughout the fray and only one oppo- nent reached second base throughout the game — that was in the eighth in- ning when he had a temporary wild spell and passed two batters. “Vinny” Hughes was the outstanding batter for Stoneham, collecting two singles in three trips to the plate while Marston, Kent, and Lundregan connect- ed for two ply wallops.

Concord’s Eighth Inning Rally Beats Stoneham Concord High turned the tables on the local nine at its own field, last Friday, Maj ' - 10, when it scored four runs in the eighth frame, winning 7 to 4. Up to that time, the game was a pitcher’s battle between Theroux and Westby. Stoneham got first blood in the second when Lundregan scored from second on Dushane’s single. Concord tied it up in the same inning after a single and two infield errors and took the lead in the next frame on a single, stolen base and error. Stoneham pushed across two runs in the sixth inning to take the lead once more. Corcoran reached first on an er- ror and advanced on Kent’s sacrifice while Marston was given a life on Pres- ci ' tfs fumble. With men on second and third, a timely bingle by “Joe” Lun- dregan sent two runs across. Concord tied the score in its half of the sixth on an error and two singles. A double play by the Stoneham infield pulled Theroux out of further trouble. Concord salted the game away in the eighth inning, scoring four runs on three errors by the ' Stoneham infield, a base on balls, and a timely double by Westby. Stoneham came back in the ninth to score one run on two bases on balls, and a single by Dushane. The summary: [ 22 ]

THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC Five short years have rolled by much faster than we ever expected. Very few take a look back into the past but some of us are subject to this weakness. We think back to Friday the thirteenth of June in the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-four when we were to be made alumni and world-conquerors. We were kings for the day. On Saturday the fourteenth we expected the world to turn over and stare at us, we who were to make the world hum. Yet in a day we forgot those things and returned to normal, as most human beings do. To work, to play, to school we departed and a new life was born for us. There was little wavering or sidestepping, but much thinking. We had to shift a bit for ourselves, take a few knocks and perhaps look ahead a bit more than was our custom herebefore. And now the world has marked five years more to our credit and our view of life has changed, some radically, some not so much. A few of us like to look back and think while the great majority must be stirred up to do so. However, prophecies are less, while facts are more established, and we wish to here relate what has happened to mem- bers of the Class of 1924 in five years of world-conquering. Perhaps a bit of explanation is neces- sary. A questionnaire was sent to ev- eryone of the fifty-nine of us who grad- uated on that historic date. Fifty per cent answered the roll, the others had to be urged. Another urge was sent out and about fifty per cent of them re- plied. The last quarter of the class has not responded, expectedly so. However, it is our desire to record everyone of our classmates here so we take from rumor that last twenty-five per cent and record their names here with only what we have heard and not what they themselves have told us. Marie Young, still residing at home, 54 Marble Street, is a private secretary, a good one we should say. Marion Wallace, also living at home, 11 Lincoln Street, is now working for the Edward Caldwell Company on Franklin Street. She’s been with John Hancock Life Insurance Company for three years and one year with the Atlas Plywood Corporation. She’s engaged to our other classmate, Henry Earl Leavitt. Eric Williams is as faithful as ever. He traipses daily to work in the ship- ping department of E. L. Patch Com- panj and back home at 23 Surnmerhill Street. For a time he was engaged with the Heywood-Wakefield Company. “Glad to hear from you, classmate of ’24”, he says. “Those were the happy days — little did we realize it. How- ever, we shall always remember them, though we live to 2024.” That ' s pretty good! Then there is Ruth Massey who is at home, 34 Lincoln Street, and spending the summer at Harwichport, Mass., Box 345 address. She tried two years of Mount Holyoke College but went no further. We were thinking of reunions and perhaps this will give an idea to other classes w’ho think of it too. She hits the nail on the head when she says, “I think reunions are apt to be disil- lusioning and therefore disappointing to those who are interested enough to spend time and thought in planning them.” So very true. Leon White, 8 Pine Street, went to work at the Pacific Mills, Lawrence, af- ter leaving high school, to finish the Avork Miss McPherson started him upon, that of learning chemistry. He has specialized in chemistry of dyestuffs and is still at it. Florence Thompson, now Mrs. Frank W. Jackson, is a housewife at 24 Pleas- ant Street. She was employed by the Boston and Maine for a year and a half after graduation and then married one of our class who could not finish because of the death of his father. They are happily blessed with two sons, Frank W., Jr., aged 3 years and a half, and
