BASEBALL The baseball team, captained by Frank Mag-uke, won the championship of !the Middlesex Valley League. The team won fifteen of the twenty games played, losing to Peabody, Saugus, Boston High School of Coimmerce, St. John ' s Prep, and Moses Brown. Capt. Maguire led the team both in fielding and batting. He fielded for .980 and batted for .444. Crandall did the bulk of the pitching with Meuse ready at any time to take his turn in the box. Cum- mings, on the receiving end, proved to be one of the best schoolboy catchers. Few men took liberties on the bases with Cum- mings. Douglass, on being shifted to first base, played great ball all year. Lee, at second, was an excellent fielder and al30 batted well. R. O ' Neill at short, was a fast and dependable player, keeping in the game at all times. The third baseman, Pearson, though new to the position, ably filled it. G. O ' Neill and Burke, who alter- nated in right field, covered lots of terri- tory. Both fielded well, Burke ranking third in the team averages. Meuse, when not pitching played centerfield, his throw- ing to the bases and quick return of the ball caught many men. This year four men remain : Crandall and Cummings, the crack battery; Burke, and O ' Neill. Around these men Coach Dower will construct his team. Wakefield is in two leagues this year, the Middlesex and the Mystic Valley Leagues, having been admitted to the latter this winter.

THE MAN WHO GETS THERE I He isn ' t very brilliant and his pace is often slow. There ' s nothing very flashy in his style. He has to dig and labor for the things he wants to know. But he ' s busy learning some thing all the while. II The clever men go by him in a hurry, day by day, And they get all the mention and the fame, But the patient, steady plugger in a thor- ough sort of way Keeps on going and he gets there just the same. Ill He ' s a quiet sort of fellow and he ' s back- ward in his speech. You ' ll never find him clamoring for ap- plause; He will listen to another who has anything to teach. And he never woiTies, working for a cause. IV But when brilliant men have faded and stars have lost their light. When clever men have stumbled in despair. When the great have come to failure with the goal they sought in sight. You ' ll find the patient plugger getting there. MARION LAWRENCE DUNHAM. MESSENGERS The daffodils are coming Down a shining, golden path; The pine trees whisper it, And the little breezes laugh. And a thousand tiny heralds Cry, Old Winter has passed!
