A general review of the past year at the high school shows 1t to have been the most successful periods in the history of the institution in the field of sports. Since the opening of the new high school building. the athletic teams have been coming along slowly, but during the past school term the various teams in the school took their places among those from the other schools of their size in this section of the state and won their share of games.
 The football season was very short rbut the high school gridders made a fair showing. In basketball. how ever. the locall school was represent ed by a strong aggregation and de- feated some of the strongest teams in this section. Among their vic- tims was Litchfeld high. winners of the Western Connecticut league. After slow start in baseball, the locals hit their pace and scored a ] number of important victories, in. ! cluding in their list two wins over the New Britain State Trade school nine and one over the Lewis high of Southington.
 Much of the credit for the strong showing of the athletic teams at the school must be given to Coach Tom" Caulfield. Forced to work with untried material since coming here. the coach worked hard with the available men this year and was rewarded by seeing his teams come through with many important wins The school spirit was much stronger this year than it has been in the past and the teams were given great support, especially the basketball quintet.
 The athletic fund was greatly in. !. creased by the admissions taken in at the court battles, according to a report made in March by Vice Prin. cipal Douglas s. Macdonald.
 Bright Prospects Prospects for next year are very bright and, according to the outlook the school will be represented by the strongest teams in the history of the institution. Practically the entire football team from last season will return to school in the fall. and Coach Caulfeld will have a large number of experienced men to work with.
 ! The basketball situation also looms as promising. The team which made such splendid record during the past season will return to school with the loss of but one member Captain Walter Gerke. There were | number of promising substitutes on last years squad and Coach Caul- field should be able to fill the place made vacant by the graduation of Gerke. The locals expect to make q great bid for'honors in the Western Connecticut league.
 The baseball outlook is especially bright for the 1880 season. Captain Peterson who graduated Tuesday will be the only member of this years team lost to the nine. Coach Caulfield will have Datoli ready for mound work and, with an experi- enced team behind him. the local twirler should score number of vic tories. Nothing definite has been done as of yet toward the election of q captain for next years team. Last year the election was held by mail letters being sent to the letter men asking them to mail in their choices for captain. It is probable that this plan will be followed again this year.
