ATHLETICS CROSS COUNTRY The Wakefield High School Cross- country team opened its season at Wor cester, Oct. 11, 1919, by winning the third leg- and permanent possession of the Mayor Peter G. Holmes silver trophy cup. The race was run under the auspices of the Worcester Knights of Columbus, and over a course of a trifle more than three miles long. The W. H. S. boys were pitted against the best schoolboys in New England. After leading throughout the entire I ' ace, Lybeck of Wakefield was beaten by D. Mil ler of Worcester Academy by a scant yard. It was the third victory in as many years and the team finished second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh places scoring 24 points. Jazukawiz, Patterson, Capt. Burke and Malonson finished 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th places respectively. North High of Worcester was second with 49 points Worcester Academy third with 58 points, Commerce High of Wor- cester scored 76 points. The next race was against the strong Harvard freshmen over the Belmont course. Winchester of Harvard led Lybeck of Wakefield by 15 yards, covering 3 1-4 miles in 17 minutes and 11 seconds. Harvard won 23 to 32, which was a close score. Malonson was 6th, Capt. Burke 7th, Jazukawicz 8th, and Patterson 9th. The next race the team was defeated by the Medford High Cross-Country team over the Medford course by the close score of 26 to 24. This is the first time that the Medford team has defeated the local team in the last four years. The local team was se- verely handicapped by the loss of Lybeck its star runner, who hurt his foot in prac- tice. The W. H. S. men who finished were Malonson 1st, Jazukawiz 5th, Capt. Burke 6th, S. Levine 7th, and Moncrief 10th. Much credit should be given Ma- lonson for placing first in this meet. He took the lead at the start of the race and kept it, closely followed by a Medford man. After a thrilling sprint of about 300 yards from the finish he just barely nosed out his opponent and finished about 2 yards ahead of the second runner. Next year the team can look forward to one of the best Cross-Country teams that ever has represented the high school and with the aid of a coach should have the best Cross-Country team in New England. CAPT. ALBERT BURKE. TRACK The State Meet, March 22, brought the track season to a close for the W. H. S. track team. Although the team failed to win any of the meets the school body was backing them to the limit and was cheer- ing just as strong when Wakefield was losing as when winning. Wakefield par- ticipated in six dual meets, two of which were held in the Armory, and one inter- class meet. The inter-class meet was easi- ly won by the Seniors (class of 1920) scor- ing 40 points, the Sophomores came sec- ond with 11 points, the Juniors third with 6 points, while the Freshmen were unable to score. Ttie first dual meet was with Hunting- ton School at the Boston Y. M. C. A. The latter won the meet, but not without fight- ing all the way. Draper got second in the 50-yard dash and the 300-yard run. Skulley got second in the 600-yard run, while Burke was third in the 1000-yard and the shot-put; Sea- bury tied for first in the high jump and Gamiss got third. The relay race was won by Huntington, 18

lessness and thoughtlessness on the part of the user. When we have anything to say, we say it without giving thought or time to proper enunciation or grammatical construction. We lop off the ends of our words, use don ' t for does not, and run our words together. (It has become almost a thing of the past to hear a student of the high school pronounce every syllable of a word.) Would we think of insulting the Ameri- can flag? Our flag, the emblem of our country? We certainly would not. Then why insult the language of that flag? Is not that what we do by the use of slang and colloquialisms? If we appreciated this fact, read our English Creed oftener, and tried to live up to it, we should use better English. We should avoid vulgarisms and slang, and speak thoughtfully, painstakingly, and clearly. We should remember that there are such words as Yes, and No, and should take time to enunciate so clearly that there would be no need of an I beg your pardon, what did you say? Then let us resolve to make every week Better Speech Week ; and in this way try to bring our mother tongue back to its original power and beauty. BERTIL A. LYBECK, ' 21.

If Garniss ever runs down? Who put the jazz in W. H. S.? MOONLIGHT A whip-poor-will called across the lake.
