The of- fices were filled by boys which made the girls, especially Miss Patty ' Power, start an uproar. The President, Burton Swan, said that it was only fair for a girl to hold an office as a reporter to the Crimson and Gray. Those elected were: President, Burton Swan; Treasurer, Wal- lace Rockwood; Health Officer, George Wat- son; Reporter, Miss Tetreault. The room also has a one man band which is played by Louis Ugalde on a harmonica. Boy! Can he harmonize. Maybe Mr. Tabor taught him. J.

All gentleman hitch-hikers, when we want to get somewhere in a hurry, take the train. In a small town along the way I met a fellow on his way to New York City. We chummed together, hopped a train, and arrived in Buf- falo about 1 1:30 A. M. There we got another train from Buffalo to Rochester N. Y. There I went around to show my relations I had succeeded in getting to the Fair, and collected a couple of dollars in bets they had rashly made that I wouldn ' t get there. The next morning rrly cousin got me a ride to Geneva. There a fellow who had been driv- ing all day drove up to a gasoline station and said he wished he could find someone to ac- company him on the road to Boston. I was lucky enough to be near by and said I ' d go with him. All that night, then, I got a four hundred mile ride to Sturbridge. The man, a middle-aged traveling salesman, bought me a lunch. I was rather tired out from keeping my companion awake. Consequently I was glad when two more rides found me at Globe Village where I had started from eleven days before. Now, next summer, I am going to Ireland, England, and France, in the gentleman-like way, and I hope that I ' ll be able to tell about that in next year ' s paper. Bill Curboy ' 36 A FRESHMAN ' S POINT OF VIEW T T IGH School! That is the word first - ■ ■ ■ thought about when a Freshman-to-be awakes on that eventful Wednesday. There is no longing to stay in bed even though it is a rather schooly feeling morning. Some may sigh at the thought of getting back to the old grind , but still High School will be interesting.

4ATHLETIC5H, FOOTBALL Congratulations. To the team, its captain, and its coach who believe in fair play and follow the rules of good sportsmanship by playing with all their might, by co-operation with each other, by playing fair, and by being a man no mat- ter what the situation. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1933-1934 Sept. 30 Wells 6— Commerce High (here) Oct. 7 Wells 6— Stafford Springs (here) Oct. 12 Wells 14— Holden 7 (there) Oct. 21 Wells 20— Ware 6 (here) Oct. 28 Wells 0— Shrewsbury (there) Nov. 4 Wells —Putnam (here) Nov. 11 Wells —Clinton (there) Nov. 17 Wells - —Academy - (here) Nov. 30 Wells —Webster (here) THE WINNING OF A CHAMPIONSHIP Wells High has always had great athletic teams and has been respected by all local high schools. None however, were of the cal- iber of the 1933 Baseball Championship Team. Such a team is rarely to be found in local high school ranks. It consisted of Capt. Koziol, Volpini, Werner, Koprowski, Pal- merino, Osimo, Lavallee, Farland, Proulx, Chicoine, Remian, and Beaupre. It was a very smooth running machine and it opened its season by trouncing Holden. Then came double victories over Ware and Spencer and in a return game we again beat Holden. By this time the fans began to sit up and notice what a great team was in the making. We then beat Putnam, and in a series we took two out of three from Bartlett. Then we were not satisfied but immediately beat Oxford. These victories over Bartlett and Oxford High meant the winning of the Championship of the division and meeting Millbury High for the real Championship. Our boys, behind the splendid pitching of Lavallee, proceeded to take two out of three from Millbury, winning the Championship. This team that Wells had put on the field was the answer to a coach ' s prayer. Hefner Wells 4 — Oxford 1 As a result of a triple tie between Wells, Oxford, and Webster for first place, we play- ed Oxford in the first game of the play-off. Palmerino ' s pitching was too much however, and a fast triple play— Werner to Koziol— just finished off the Oxford boys. Wells 2 — Bartlett i In the finals we met the Bartlett team and it was pitching duel for 11 innings between Lavallee and Pietrowski. In the 11th, Ted Farland, with Werner on second, singled and scored Werner. This meant playing Millbury for the Championship. Millbury 21 — Wells 2 In the first game for the Championship our boys traveled to Millbury. Palmerino was on the mound for Wells and Bruninghans pitch- ed for Millbury. Palmerino later gave way to Proulx. We were defeated, but only because the boys were not in the mood for playing good ball. Wells 4 — Millbury 3 That defeat did not discourage our boys and they resolved to take Millbury this time.
