High School Notes: The juniors
held q class meeting last Wednesday.
Sandy, 10. has left school and ex-
poets to attend the Rhode Island pre-.
par atory school. The baseball team ,
went over to visit the boys of South ,
Manchester last Satu'd day and were 8
defeated by score of Sc. The
South Manchester boys had selected q ,
good team and delivered the goods in !
proper style. Although Madden .
pitched loose ball he was supported by /
eight teammates and the umpire, es- :
peoiaIly by the latter. Converse, ,
IL, pitched a star game. striking ,
out nine men. but his support was I
very poor, and although there were Z
seven hits placed against him, several =
of these should have been handled by ,
some member of the team. The line 4
up was changed to q good effect.
ButteIfield, 10, covered the initial I
bag; Manager Eaton, 'O9, played \
second and Newton, II, played in 4
left field The feature of the game g
was the hitting of Pease, II, who I
made three hits out of FIVE times up Z
Wagner, 10, also batted we'll, while I
Converse and Lee each drew three 4
passes. Next Saturday the team ,
plays the strong Monson academy s
team at the fair grounds. at 3 O'Clock. +
1t is hoped that a large number will I
attend, especially the high school z
girls. The seniors will hold a social :
in the high school next Saturday even I
ing. The sophomores' social held =
last Friday evening was the most sue q
cessful one that has been held. The :
deserve a great deal of d
credit for the way in which they en- d
the other classes of the high !
school,
