BASEBALL Woonsocket High School, up to the time of the Quiver’s going to press, had not lost a baseball contest in the season of 1917, our school’s record then being ten straight games. W. H. S., at the time of our going to press, was leading the Interschclastic League. Our boys have played wonderful ball, and have won practically all their games by large scores, whitewashing their opponents several times. Nichols, our crack pitcher, held his opponents hitless and runless for forty-five consecutive innings. The team has played well together, hit hard, and fielded well. Woonsocket has a baseball record for the last two years of which any school might well be proud, having lost but one game in two seasons. The scores of this season up to the present time are: Technical A ............................ 1—0 Cranston................................ 17—7 Classical............................... 10—0 He pc................................... 5—0 Technical B............................. 15—1 Pawtucket............................... 11— English................................... 17—1 East Providence ........................ 13—0 Cranston................................ 6—1 Technical A............................. 6—2 Classical .............................. 5—2 Hope ................................... 3—0 The school year 1916-17 has been a banner year for the Woonsocket High School athletes. They carried off the Interscholastic League football honors, lost but one game in basketball, performed well in track events, although greatly handicapped, and, up to the time of the Quiver’s going to press, headed the league in baseball, with ten straight wins and no defeats. W. H. S. has an athletic record this year which can be equaled by very few high schools in New England. The team work of uur athletes has been splendid. The excellent coaching of Messrs. Keaney and Carroll has aided materially in the achievements of our boys.

After the supper, Dr. W. F. Barry look charge of the games. Mrs. Lucy A. Pratt. Mr. W. A. McDonaigh, and the Ideal Orchestra furnished music during the evening. One day during the winter term, the Sophomore Classical-English d: ision entertained the Sophomore commercial division with selections from “Julius Ceasar.’’ The Freshman English class have published two issues of a paper which they call “The Arrow ” Although this paper is small and unpretentious, it contains many original and exceedingly interesting de- partments. Early in January the Junior Cooking classes began to give biweekly luncheons in the cooking room. Two guests were invited each time, and different pupils took turns in being host, hostess, waitress, cook, and housekeeper. Besides the enjoyment thus derived, the girls had actual experience in planning, cooking, and presiding at a meal. January 12, Franklin High School presented “The Man on the Box” in the Assembly Hall. The pupils did exceptionally well, and received great praise from the large audience.
