At the first of the year, a relay team was developed, and this spring a track team was organized and sent to the Interscholastic Meet. In October, the relay team won two races at the Trotting Park in a meet with Franklin High. During the anniversary celebration at Brown University, the same squad took part in a relay race at Andrews Field, but was beaten by the runners from East Providence High. W. H. S. won a total of 6J4 points at the Interscholastic Meet held in Providence on May 22. Eliot Bryant, ’15, won 6 of these points, with first in the discus throw and fourth in the quarter-mile. Bryant, in winning the discus throw, won the gold medal offered for first place in the event. Lloyd Arnold, ’15, was tied with three others for fourth place in the pole vault and was therefore awarded J4 point. Next year, the track men should make a better showing, for many of those who took part this year will return in the fall with a year experience behind them. The new gymnasium, also, should assist materially in producing a first-class squad of track athletes. FOILED AGAIN Mr. Spratt (in solid geometry class)—“What is a frustum?” V----r—“A frustrated prism, sir.” ICI ON PARLE FRANCAIS C---d (to young lady waiting in drug store)—“Pourquoi attendez- mts?” Young lady—“No, thank you, Mr. C---d, I’ve just had a drink.” Miss Mowry—“What can you tell of Joan of Arc?” Miss Me-y—“Joan of Arc was an early miracle play.”
