This Might ProHtably be Considered In
Brattleboro.

The Greenfield high school seniors have
taken hold of the matter of class day
exercises and expenses in a rather novel
way. They have decided to give up the
exercises altogether, and to enjoy instead,
sometime this spring, a joint excursion
to Washington, for which the expense
will be about $25 for each person, for
five days trip. This, they think, will
not be much more than the expense they
are subject to at class day and graduation.
and by cutting out the former altogether,
and figuring sharply on graduating ex-
penses they expect to come out about
even, while benefiting from the experience
and education of a trip to the national
capital. We notice that the Orange
seniors are also planning a visit to Wash
ington. Assuredly, the idea has many
excellent features to commend it.-[Atnol

The Brattleboro Athletics were beaten
by the Father Mathews in Turner's Falls
Saturday night SO to 32. Both teams
did some clever team work, but the
Father Mathews were more accurate as

WON TWO GAMES

and Shot Acknowledgements Bril-
liant Work Feature.

Another notable victory was added to
the Athletics string Tuesday night, when
the Father Mathews of Turner's Falls were
beaten AZ to 81, in Festival hall. The
visitors were outplayed at every turn al
though nearly all of them were familiar
with the floor The Athletics gave an
exhibition of passing that eclipsed all of
their previous work in that line, and they
also did particularly well i'm landing goals,
in which work they have showed steady
improvement of late. The Father
Mathews brought Doran to cover Hag-
gerty, and he paid particular attention to
that job, but Haggerty was able to score
four times. Long took care of Henry
Martens, who did not connect with the
basket at all. Ellis kept Grogan guessing,
and Davey made several difficult shots
besides getting into the team work in good
form. The particular feature of the game
was Staffords all-round playing. He not
only blocked and passed brilliantly, but
scored more baskets than any other man
and gave Charlie Martens some surprises.

The Athletics beat Company d of ST.

night in the state championship series.
The score was closer than that of the
Bellows Falls game, but the excitement
was less intense. Company d worked
hard, but the effect of it's team work was
spoiled by excellent blocking by the
Athletics. Long covered McGovern to
perfection and put up some of the best
interference of the season. The basket
work Of the visitors was not up to their
usual standard, while Davey showed up
unusually well in this line, particularly
in the second half. Haggerty was a
strong factor in Brattleboro's team work.
The score at the end of the first half was
IL to 10 in Brattleboros favor. Each
team has now beaten the other twice in
