C. l, At the close of indoor practice season, early in April, Coach Karlson called out the candidates for the entire team. Durf ing the first week, between fifty and sixty men were on the athletic field each after' noon. There was an abundance of matef rial for both the infield and outneld and also for the backstop berth. The number of candidates reporting for the pitcherls position was a bit disappointing to the coach. However, by the second week in April, after the first cut had been made, it began to look like a prosperous season. The preliminary practice sessions proved very beneficial, due to the fact that twice a week the Wentworth boys were lined up against the Boston University varsity team, which used our field for daily pracf tice. THE TEAM At the present writing, the team makef up is as follows: As backstop, Drummond of the E. C. 2nd, has played ine baseball throughout the season. He seems to have a good whip and watches his game with the alertness of an old leaguer. In the box, Salstrom of the A. C. 2nd, has done most of the twirling, having pitched a fine game at Andover. Cn the pitching staff we also have Banagan of the A. C. 2, Skinner of Fay of the PatternfMaking course, Wal' dron of the Foundry group, and Perkins of the M. W. class. English High star, is first sack in splendid fashion. Lord, the captain of next year's basketball team, is playing at second base. The positions at shortstop and third have given the coach more or less worry, and to date no stable combination has been settled upon. At short, he has tried McLean of the A. C. 2, Adams of the S. E3 E. 2, Beach of the E. C. 2, and nnally White of the E. C. 1. The most of this combination who have played at short stop, have played at least one gameat third, but the position seems to be Hlled now by Pierce of the E. C. 1. Captain joe Cdlum is taking care of the right iield, while McLean, Beach and Adams have all played in the center posif tion. Left field has been taken care of by Pierce, Salstrom and Skinner. We have enjoyed watching the splendid, business' like manner in which the manager, Wil' liam Watson of the M. C. 2, has handled the team and credit is due to Cashman of the S. E3 E., and Dodge of the C. Er? B. for their splendid spirit of cofoperation as assistants to Mr. Watson. Barry, the Lynn taking care of the lS jm-

1-'xwl iin nam: THE TEKTQN attract moisture. This tends to make the roller feel greasy. V A very interesting feature of this lecture was a small cylinder with six hollow round holes in it. He showed us how these are filled with the composition, and the rollers are made. He reminded us that rollers are one of the cheapest of materials used in the printf ing industry. The better the roller, the bet! ter the printing, and as they are so reason' able it is well to be supplied with new ones. April 30, 1925. Mi'. Cecil H. Wi'iglitf son, 74 India Street, Boston, Mass. Sub' ject: Liiiotypes. Mr. Wrightson described the operation of the Linotype machine and showed us the advantage it has over hand set type. It is not very easily pied and is much faster than hand composition. A very interesting fact was brought up by one of the boys. He had heard about the Ludlow machine, but did not understand how it worked. Mr. Wrightson informed us that it is used to make headings and such work that is in large type. It does not in any way look like the Linotype machine. May 7, 1925. Mi'. Wilbur, President of the Tudor Press. Subject: Oyjfset Litliof grapliy. Mr. Wilbur described the process of Lithographic Printing and the materials that are used in that art. He showed us a picture that was lithof graphed and done in eight colors. Each tint used was printed separately, so that we could see how each new color added, improved the picture until the final effect was produced. The students were much impressed with Mr. WilDLlflS fine lecture May 14, 1925. A. C. Gatcliel, of A. C. Gatchel 59 Son, Law Printers, 74 India Street. Mr. Gatchel gave a very interesting talk on Law Printing and the procedure of the court when trying cases. May 21, 1925. G. Gelirnan Taylor, of tlie Perry Esterbrook Press, Cambridge. Advice to boys entering the trade. May 28, 1925. Mr. George Taylor, President of the Boston Typothatae Board of Trade gave an irispiriiig address to the graduating class. 1 W EN1'woll'l'll T SHIPWRECKS By ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE My baby took a walnut shell, And in it stepped a sail, A twig that bore a tiny leaf- Ah, but the craft is frail! And yet, upon the surly seas- To him the bathftub seems A roaring ocean-out it goes, All freighted with his dreams. Uh, weep, my baby, when the storm Destroys your gallant craft, As we whose ships are stronger weep When winds roar fore and aft, And all the dreams we love so well Are lost beneath the tide . . . Oh, glad I am you learned to laugh Before you ever cried. --f -- wliN'rwoll'rll ' -- - Michael Ivorsky Pupin, Is the handsomest man I have seen' His face has no freckles, , But his pocket has shekels- V' The result of the brain in his ebean. -From Literary Digest. 3 WENTWHRTH - f Donator: 'LWliat did you think of my last story?
