BKTTKLIOn nOTES. BATTALION NOTES Work on the High School Battalion has begun very successfully. It is the lai-gest in numbers that the High School has ever had. At the beginning of the drill year we had three large companies composed of seven squads each. Shortly after the Christmas vacation the battalion was re- organized by our instructor, Major Mc- Mahon. We now have four companies, each composed of five squads. We have been considerably handicapped thus far by lack of proper equipment and also time. At least three periods a week should be devoted to military drill. Per- haps in the future what we had hoped for this year may be a reality. Nevertheless, in spite of these perplexities, we have ex- pectations of turning out one of the best battalions of recent years. The follow- ing officers and non-coms constitute the roater as it now stands: Major, William S. Wallace; Captain Co. A, John Reid; Captain Co. B, Carl Peter- son; Captain Co. C, Reuben Draper; Cap- tain Company D, Wilbur Batten; Adj., Roger Arnold; 1st Lieut. Co. A, R. Loubris, 1st Lieut. Co. B, W. Garniss; 1st Lieut. Co. C, F. Snyder; 1st Lieut. Co. D, A.

Battalion Notes At the Medford High School Annual Prize Drill on May 9, 1919, a Special Competitive Drill, in the Manual of Arms, was held by the High Schools of Greater Boston. Medford High School offered a large sl-.ield to the winning school, and three individual prizes to the three best cadets on the floor. Medford, Stoneham, Wake- field, Woburn, and Glouce.ster wore repre- sented by teams. The Wakefield team consisted of Ser- geant George O ' Neill, Capt. Raymond Bat- ten, Lieut. William Wallace, and Alternate Lieut. John Reid. These cadets showed that they had spent much time in practis- ing by having the entire team on the floor the la.st time out. Wakefield won the shield and besides this honor, Sergt. George O ' Neill won the second individual prize. Much credit should be given to Major Braxton, as his special instruction was, in a great part, responsible for the success of the Wakefield drillers. CAPT. JOHN A. REID. 22

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!
