more. This meet was a success in that it aroused interest and brought out new candi- dates. Wakefield vs. Huntington The first dual meet was with the strong Huntington School team, of Boston. Wake- field won 36 to 23, the meet being decided by the relay. The dash went to Hunting- ton. Batten captured first place in the 300 and 600. Levine won the thous- and and finished second in the 600. Burke ran second to Levine in the 1000. The shot put went to Low ' 21, with Batten third. Seabury tied with Stevens of Huntington, for first place in the high jump. Wakefield was fortunate in winning this meet for Hun- tington is no mean antagonist. Medford vs. Wakefield Medford was next entertained at Wake- field. The relay, also decided this meet for the local team. Draper, the Wakefield ace, finished second in the dash, followed by Seabury. The 300 also went to Dra- per, who ran a pretty race from behind. The 600 was cleaned up by Burke, Bat- ten and Levine. The 1000 went to Le- vine and Burke. Batten and Seabury took the thirds in the shot put and broad jump. An accident prevented Seabury from get- ting better than second in the high jump. Wakefield vs. Lynn English Wakefield next went to the English High of Lynn and was defeated 31 to 19. The cause may be laid to Lynn ' s cleaning up in the dash and high jump. Batten took first in the 300 and 600. Burke and Levine took two second places in the latter dis- tance. Levine and Burke took first and third in the 1000 . Second and third in the shot put went to Low and Batten. The relay was won by Lynn. Lynn Classical vs. Wakefield Lynn Clasical next entertained the team. Lynn won 33 1-2 to 23 1-2 through their taking all three places in the dash and 600. Second and third in the 300 went to Batten and Frizzell. First and third in the 1000 we nt to Levine and Burke. Low and Douglass captured first and third in the shot put. Seabury took the high jump. The relay was won by Seabury, Reid, Friz- zell and Batten. Wakefield vs. Lowell Lowell next took the honors from Wake- field with a score of 45 to 23. Wakefield was unable to run Lowell ' s track which may account for the difference. Lowell cleaned up the dash. Batten took second in the 300 and 600. ' Third in the 600 went to Burke. Second and third in the 1000 were won by Burke and Levine. The 800 was won by the latter. Low and Douglass took first and third in the shot put. Sea- bury took third in the high jump. Lowell took the relay. Boston Interscholastic Meet Four men, Levine, Batten, Low and Burke contributing six, five, four and two points, respectively, won the Greater Boston Inter- scholastic Meet held at the Boston Y. M. C. A. This is the second time the team prize has come to Wakefield, the track team of 1916 having won it that year. Levine and Burke captured second and third in both the 1000 and the mile. Classy fields ran both of these races and the Wakefield stars ' stunt may rightly be called a good one. Batten won the 600 over a large field. Low tied for first in the shot put with a heave of forty feet. This also was a stellar performance, being both opportune and surprising. The track team as a whole deserves credit for its accomplishments, for much hard work was done by both the team and its able coach, Joseph Duggan of Harvard and the results were fairly obtained. — Capt. R. J. Batten, ' 19. FOOTBALL Candidates for the football team were called out the latter part of September. This is the first time for fourteen years that the W. H. S. has been represented by a football team. Twenty-six candidates reported for practice and prospects looked bright to our new teacher-coach, Mr. Ray- mond P. Dower. In the course of a week the epidemic broke out and three games were cancelled besides practice. This was a bad handicap for the coach and team. The team played seven games, winning three and losing four, these last being played with some of the best teams in the vicinity. The local team lost to Medford, Watertown, Lawrence, and Woburn. Wo- burn was beaten in a second game on their own field. Melrose suffered defeat at the hands of the W. H. S. Arlington, after a 21

tie game came across by forfeiting to us. A squad of fifteen comprised the team; they were Leslie Cummings, R. Batten, E. Frizzell, F. O ' Neil, A. Levine, J. Callahan, F. Maguire, G. Seabury, B. La Fave, A. Burke, R. Draper, R. Surette, H. Teakle, R. Muse, and L. Douglass (Capt.)- The backfield men were quick and full of pep, while the line held steady during the season, except in some cases which no team escapes. Cummings played a fine game and will prove valuable next season. Only five leave the team this year and the prospects for a winning team next year are indeed bright. Much credit is due Mr. Raymond Dower, who coached the team this season under try- ing circumstances. — Leo F. Douglas, ' 19. SENIOR CLASS NOTES HOCKEY The hockey team has been the best this season for several years. More interest than usual was shown, and a great number of candidates came out for the team among whom were: L. Cummings, P. Avery, M. Griffin, H. Hill, T. Dinan, J. Riley, J. Reid, F. Maguire and L. Douglass. There were five games played, Wakefield winning three, tied one, lost one. Our vic- tories were over Melrose and Stoneham, Stoneham suff ' ering defeat twice. Our tie with Milton was on account of poor ice. We lost to the fast St. John ' s Preparatory School at Danvers after a hard game. Although not having much ice and only playing five games the team developed some fine players. Much credit is due Cummings and Avery for their fine form and team work; while Griffin is to be congratulated for his work in goal. The scores of the games: Wakefield 0— Milton 0. Wakefield 8— Stoneham 0. Wakefield 1 — Melrose 0. Wakefield 3— Stoneham 0. Wakefield 1— St. Johns Prep. 3. Our line-up of the team was as follows: Cummings (rw) ; Avery (Iw) ; Dinan (r); Hill (c) ; Cap Douglass (cp) ; Riley Reid, Maguire (p) and Griffin (g). — Capt. Leo F. Douglass, ' 19. The election of the officers of the Senior Class was held by ballot during the first days of November, the result of which was: President, Francis Maguire; vice-president, Ida Low; secretary, Margaret Anderson; treasurer, Leo Douglass; executive com- mittee member, Oliver Howland. Immediately following the election a class meeting was called by the president, at which the class voted to hold the annual Senior Party on November 29, 1918. The dance committee was appointed which comprised the officers, with the president as chairman, and also Mary Kelly, Mary Neiss, Marjorie Sawyer, Raymond Batten and Ralph Reid. At this meeting it was also voted to con- tinue the publication of the Debater, and the Staff, with Ida Low as Editor-in- Chief, was chosen by the class. — Margaret Anderson, Sec. The class of 1919 held its annual Senior Party in the Town Hall, Friday evening, Nov. 29, 1918. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags of the different nations. The ma- trons were Mrs. Edward B. Kelly, Miss A. Irene Goddard and Mrs. Samuel Maguire. The little Misses Helen Fay and Gladys Douglass distributed dance orders. The Parker Orchestra furnished music and dancing was enjoyed until midnight. The party proved to be a financial as well as social success. — Edith W. Jones, ' 19.
