/^UR two years on the Campus have gone and it is with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow that we step out into the world to apply the knowledge we have gained here.

1928 W^HORIHORN

This year, 1928, marks a ten-year period of educational service which the Massachusetts Agricultural College has rendered to the young men and women of the state thru the Two-Year Course in Practical Agriculture. Accurate results of any educational program are always difficult to figure — and statistics alone do not tell the whole story. It should be of interest, however, to observe the trend of enrolments in the course from its beginning.

1918-19— 37 1923-24—169

1919-20 — 209 1924-25 — 161

1920-21 — 277 1925-26 — 189

1921-22 — 293 1926-27—165

1922-23 — 257 1927-28 — 205

During the four years following the end of the Great War the large registrations are explained by the great number of ex-service men taking agricultural training under the U. S. Veterans' Bureau program of rehabilita- tion. This work practically ended with the year 1923, altho four field instructors were kept at work thru 1925, supervising the placement jobs of the former soldiers and assisting them to successful beginnings in their new vocations. Since 1924, then, the enrolment figures can well be interpreted as an index of the normal interest young people of Massachusetts are showing in entering agricultural occupations. For a state chiefly industrial in its pursuits the record is a good one.

Year by year the graduates of the Two-Year course have been taking up their new duties and responsibilities which this training has helped make possible. And today our alumni records carry the names of over 500 graduates, a good percentage of whom are engaged in the business of agriculture.

An effective system of placement training has been developed which enables every student to get six months of valuable experience under working conditions which test and demonstrate the principles of the class-room. Growing out from this has come an employment service for graduates of the course by which the College is increasing its usefulness both to the trained worker and to the employer.

With the undergraduates we have seen a healthy growth in athletic activities, football, hockey, basketball, and baseball; the social life of the Two-Year Clubs is a steadying and helpful influence in the student groups; and problems of student government are well handled. For all this sound development of customs and organizations we owe much to the early founders of the work and to the pioneer classes whose interests and enthusiasms built so well.

Today finds the College with a new leader at the helm whose under- standing and conception of the service to be rendered by all departments of the institution augurs well for the future. New problems and adjustments are to be faced as always. May the Class of 1928 feel their responsibility in the work that lies ahead and be eager to carry on the work so well begun a: — "loyal sons of old Massachusetts." Roland H. Verbeck.

(New Name Adopted by College Trustees — May, 1928)

Owing to a feeling that there might be confusion in the public mind concerning the real purpose and plan of the Two-Year Course in Practical Agriculture so long as it continued under that name, President Edward M. Lewis presented a year ago a suggestion to the Trustees of the College that a new name be selected. No name seemed more appropriate than that of the first professor of agriculture of the College, Levi Stockbridge, who was himself a practical farmer, active superintendent of the College farm of those early days, and a real supervisor of placement training at a time when it was required of the students as a pait of the class program, with tasks assigned on the college farm. It was felt by the Trustees that any action towards such a change in name should not be taken too quickly to insure careful consideration. The Two- Year course had grown and prospered over a period of almost a decade and it was the desire of all the members of the Board to avoid any step which might hinder the continued development of the Two-Year course, or detract in any way from the good name and reputation for service which it had already made for itself. So the matter was tabled for later consideration and the in-coming president found it among other questions of college policy yet to be determined.

Early in November, at the annual Two-Year Alumni meeting in Springfield, I outlined my own ideas on the question of a new name and later at the suggestion of Director Verbeck presented another statement for the alumni which was printed in the "Two-Year Alumni News" for March. In this I asked for suggestions on a new name so that all interested might have a chance to designate a preference. In response, I did hear from several of the graduates. Following this, members of the present senior class indicated they were much interested in the matter, especially if a new name were to be adopted by the Trustees before the class graduated in June. A committee of the class called upon me and, after learning what names were considered as suitable, prepared and mailed a postal card vote to over seven hundred former students of the course whose names and present addresses were available.

The name submitted for alumni vote was "The School of Agriculture at Massachu- setts Agricultural College" and a large majority of the cards returned indicated approval of the change. With these suggestions available from alumni and under- graduates the Trustees had the question again presented to them last Saturday, May 5, and after careful deliberation voted to adopt the original suggestion of fotmer President Lewis, as one most fitting for the type of educational service to agriculture which is being given.

To all alumni, alumnae, former students, undergraduates, and friends of the old "Two-Year Course" I therefore wish to introduce the new name of this important part of our college family: —

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture

at

Massachusetts Agric/dtural College

And may I express the hope that it will soon become to all of you an old familiar name,

honoring both the course and the name of one who did so much for the College in its

early history, and was such an inspiring teacher and leader for earlier generations.

The new name will go into effect at once and Director Verbeck is already arranging for a new form of diploma to be presented for the first time to the graduating class of 1928.

It was a fine autumn day when we returned to the campus, shook hands with old comrades and renewed old acquaintances. After acclimating ourselves to the change from placement training, we settled down to work and achieve.

The class that had troubled the seniors so much the past year now proceeded to strike terror in the hearts of the frosh and this culminated in the annual hat rush, where the class of '28 turned in another sterling perform- ance as regards rough and tumble fighting. The class of '29 was unusually large and their thorough taming reflects credit on the small but capable group of seniors. The two clubs also got under way and social life set in.

Meanwhile the senior class made history for itself. A social was extended to the frosh, who returned the courtesy in great style. The spirit of the class has been evidenced by the interest it has taken in sponsoring the movement for a name for the course, in obtaining a new and better certificate for com- mencement and in furthering the interests of the course as it has seen them. The movement for a new name resulted in the trustees voting to call the course "The Stockbridge School of Agriculture at Massachusetts Agricultural College."

Placement training period came with the close of the winter term and the freshmen left us to strive as best we could without them. The last term was so filled with activity that almost before we realized it commencement descended upon us.

The activities of the Class of '28 are truly now history. "We can only hope that we have played our part while here well.

It is most fortunate that Dick is not absent minded, for if he were "Billie" (her photo is plastered all over Dick's den) would be led to the altar by a nose ring. Dick, like the more insignificant Beau Brummel before him, is a faultless dresser, and would be very popular were it not for his indiscriminate use of mange cure, to plaster back his rebellious locks.

Al is a rugged son of the hills — let no one be misled bv his easy disposition that he is an easy mark. Good luck, "Mithter" Ballard.

A rugged and versatile athlete, an excellent student by virtue of his dogged deter- mination, and ever an amiable and amusing companion, — for what more could you ask? Tree surgery is ace high with Butts, and he treats the tall timber as tenderly and skillfully as any medical surgeon ever operated.

Apropos of that phrase, woe unto us all when Cookie takes a fancy to any such idiom, as it is worn threadbare in the numerous talks he is called upon to make. "Cookie" is most ambitious and being a live wire is much respected and admired by our group. Incidentally, it is only right to disclose the fact that even as Leander swam the Hellespont for woman, Errol would combine this feat with climbing the Matterhorn if Smith College were inaccessible enough to warrant all this.

"Buck" is hap- piest when tackling a hard committee job and arranging banquets is his long suit. Vermont claims him and is eager to give him her votes at the G. O. P. convention some sunny day. Rutland considers Bucky so valuable a florist that he has been forced to make many trips home to save the flowers from blight.

Harry comes from the shoe city, but has no desire to be a big slipper and shoe man. He would rather consider the lilies of the field and like these lilies he toils not, but on the dance floor he certainly doth spin! (Biblical references from Dr. Elliot's five foot shelf.) New York may be replete with night clubs but as for Harry, he prefers Deer- field for his amusements, and said amusement does not concern playing checkers.

"Tommy" A. T. G. North Darthmouth, 190S. Animal Husbandry. Football, 1. Baseball, 2. An. Hus. Club.

It is rather fitting that Tommy should come from down New Bedford way, for he is a whale of a good fellow. His quietness is refreshing when we consider that we have more than our share of noisemakers. However, he can be counted on to come across with a good practical joke every so often. Tom has decided tastes in millinery that popular opinion has been unable to shake. Tom's build is such that we hope some footpads cross his path some day. The crime wave should be lessened considerably then.

Vineyard Haven's favorite son centered hiis Aggie career around Poultry and basketball. He has had experience as a basketball manager, player, trainer and coach. As in the case of Shrimp Maddocks, we see that the little fellows have a big place in the world. Napoleon wasn't such a big bruiser, was he Shorty? Ask Shorty to show you his photo- graph album. It would quite amaze you !

Hail! The creative genius — the baron of pen and ink! Like Ziegfield and Gibson, Mac believes in glorifying the American Girl, as the bevy of beauties on the walls of his room would indicate. His hobby is hitchkiking and he has made many trips to Times Square without the aid of com- mercial transportation. When John admits he likes nice things, what does he mean?

What if Shrimp's nocturnal escapades did result in his sleeping in class occasionally? He was always wide awake on the hockey rink, and in pow-wows he gave us the benefit of his dry wit and amorous experiences. Shrimp hails from Dracut, which gave us Hovey and Wells, and is a worthy member of the triumvirate. He has gone in for greens- keeping and though small in stature has big ideas. Not until it was almost time for Shrimp to leave us, did we discover that he was an adept at female impersonation. Verily he can make himself into a Tiller Sunshine girl at a moment's notice.

John belongs to the group that grow their onions and know their onions. His hobby consists of cod- dling a Winchester, and we understand he can make rifles and targets do tricks. Brother Marchant certainly has played an active part in affairs here, and ranks among the first half- dozen in popularity.

"Mecca" K, K. Pomology.

Mecca, or what have you, may be heard any time, any- where. He developed his wind-up throwing apples around the orchard on placement. The poor boy felt quite badly when he was not elected class "Scotchman," but later decided that he didn't want it anyway. His pranks will be remem- bered. Our memories search out that woeful day in our freshman year when Mecca spent a whole period cramped up in a locker, on the outside of which was a sign "Beware — Mad Dog!"

If you can't find Ike in his room you might examine the tall timber and be sure that you will find him dangling from a branch. No, our hero is not a Simian ! He merely loves nature. Unfortunately he did not experience the thrills of being a freshman with us, but it did not take him long to get acquainted. Not on your tin-type, as they used to say in the gay nineties. Ike knows his nursery and has had quite a bit of practical experience.

"The following will be excused from final examination,' Sam's name, like that of Abou Ben Ahdem, has led all the rest whenever the "shark" list has been announced. Keep- ing such a high average is no mean feat when you consider that Sam's range of activities include football, a club presi- dency, hockey management, and a daily letter to Salem with an inverted stamp. Considering our Samuel it is easy to believe the veracity of the cigarette advertisement, "Such popularity must be deserved."

No diffident and shy youngster is this. Tommy has been quite forward from the start and has planted himself with both feet in our midst. It is quite impossible not to like Tommy, with his perpetual ear to ear grin, and ready stock of stories, usually told at some one else's expense. "Tommy gets the marks, has reaped two athletic letters, fits promi- nently with all students (both sexes!), and — what more do you want?

Sid, the barber's menace, can usually be found at Stock- bridge during the day and in the C. S. Union at night, arguing out some point with the stem of a pipe. His biggest problem is to think up a story to tell the other three or four members of his harem when June comes. There never has been, nor will there ever be such a waiter as Sid. For that much, we give thanks.

As this poison pen will soon wax hot on Taylor, let us now turn to Owens. Shorty can hold his own in terpsichorean tussle (this $3.25 phrase intends to con- vey the idea that as a dancer Mr. Owens is a wow ! ) . As a gymnast and amateur athlete, he cuts no small figure.

Brad certainly has dignity, however, and as for doggedness and fight — "Deac" was right there in the famous hat rushes.

Our footfall captain is a product of that historic region "down where the Charles River flows", as the poet puts it. Pulley has other interests than football and it is rumored that he is the rummy champion of the New England states. The pig-skin patriarch has gone in for poultry. Our keen mind sees wonderful advertising possibilities, to wit: "Pulley's Pullets — Poultry at Popular Prices."

The nickname Pulley and the surname of a certain mem- ber of the faculty have caused no little confliction in the Poultry Department, but the PuUey-Pushee combination in Aggie Eng. S3 worked wonders.

His talents are many and range from globe trotter par excel- lence through a short but tempestuous career as auctoineer to a humorist of no mean merit. The Emerald Isle has given him a quick witted sense of the ludicrous which may be a bit too penetrating at times for one's comfort, bur which is always genuine. He knows how to talk and (here we speak out boldly) isn't too reticent. If you want action, watch this atom in a cap rush.

If you were called upon to meet the Senior Class presi- dent, the football manager, the Editor of the Shorthorn. and one of the principals in the class play, you would expect to shake hands with a half dozen stalwarts ,but never fear — you would merely have to seek out "Stack," a half dozen stalwarts rolled into one.

Stack has no time for study and consequently only gets out of three out of four finals each term.

We like to hear this dynamic orator, however, for Art has color in abundance. Just as the "little green house on K St." figured in the Teapot Dome scandals, so does the "little yellow house on Pleasant Street" play an important part in this Lothario's love-life. Also, let us state that fifty-three students have grown old in the service of answering phone calls for the "perfect lover."

If Soupy isn't the original example of "Happy-Go-Lucky" we are greatly in error. It would take a Mississippi Flood, a Vesuvius eruption and a failure in An.

As the time approaches when we will be alumnae too, we cannot help but think of the work of the past year and judgment must be passed as to our success or failure.

A small but select few bore the brunt of our not too severe initiation, held off-campus for the first time, after we had become thoroughly acquainted at a tea given for our willing victims.

To replenish our not overstocked treasury we made and sold fudge to our classmates of discrimination, who bought and called for more.

Due to crowded conditions in the Abbey some of our members lived off-campus and for their benefit we changed the time of our meetings from the evening to the afternoon.

The advent of leap year could not pass without appropriate celebration, so we held a leap year costume dance, well attended and very successful.

With half of our number leaving for the more or less tedious practical training, we attended a banquet held at Bates Inn, resurrecting a custom for the first time since 1925.

A farewell party left, we hope, a pleasant memory of seniors who will not be present at the next roll-call, but who hope, as our seniors have done, to return often during the coming year and re-awaken memories for old times' sake.

With promises of numerous letters, well filled to date, our freshmen left us, still inspired by the ideals and aims of the S. C. S. which we have endeavored to impart to them, and we rest secure in the knowledge that they will be worthily carried on.

In years to come we will look back upon the past year and recall the many events in which the members of Kolony Klub participated.

Our first real responsibility, of course, was the rushing of freshmen and this part of the program was well started with smokers and socials at the house. The freshmen will admit that we were good "to them until the selected group had signed on the dotted line, but from then on we impressed our wishes on them in an unmistakable fashion. The most anticipated affair of the year, for the freshmen at least, was the initiation banquet held at Draper Hall, because it marked the end of senior hostilities.

One cold and stormy night, the "Hyhats" and "Inquisitors" surprised us with an impromptu party that no one will forget. Many of us discovered our ability as orators that evening and earned for ourselves lasting nick-names.

However, all good things must end, and the freshmen's stay with us ended with the Farewell Banquet which was held at the Hotel Perry. The "Hyhats" again surprised us with another party after the banquet in honor of The Goddess.

Spring term began and before we realized it Commencement was upon us. With it came our one big social event of the year, the Prom House Dance. Everyone will agree that it was the best of the year.

On the first night of our return to the campus, a small but dynamic nucleus gathered together in the meeting room of A. T. G. to lay plans for the ensuing year. Even the most optimistic of us could not predict the success that was to be ours during that time. A smoker was planned for the freshmen at which light banter, coruscating witticisms and grave wisdom were hurled at the neophytes without discrimination. Card games and the time honored refreshment of cider and doughnuts were the order of the day. That our advances met with response was evidenced by the fact that thirty yearlings pledged themselves and accordingly were duly initiated — (as the current colloquialism has it — "and how!").

A house party was held at the Women's Club House and our social lions claimed it to be a classic. A second rushing season held near Christmas time netted a dozen more freshmen. During the winter term, the club, augmented by so many frosh prospered to no mean degree, and a basketball team representing the fraternity performed nobly, its work in the inter-fraternity league being gratifying indeed. With the co-operation of the Kolony Klub a delightful inter-frat dance was put on. As placement training time drew near, a banquet was held and officers for the coming term were elected.

The responsibility for next year rests on the broad shoulders of Hermie Hoyt as president, assisted by Jim Woodger, vice-president. Jack Hall, secretary, and Ed Hobart as treasurer. The club members are to be congra- tulated on their fine judgment in selecting these boys.

A small group of seniors was left after the exodus of the frosh, and much hilarity was enjoyed by this group. A smoker given to the members of Kolony Klub preceded the commencement activities of the organization, where at the Class of '28 A. T. G. completed their school life with the pep and gusto that characterized their two-year stay.

"THIS WOMAN BUSINESS" By Benn W. Levy Synopsis — A brilliant English comedy based on the perennially interesting subject of misogyny, filled with clever lines, witty dialogue and a lively inter- play of well-diversified characters. The plot concerns five men who are banded together by their hatred of women. Into this Eveless Eden comes one woman who confesses that she is a thief and tells them to send for the police. But they do not and she stays. For the remaining two acts one woman upsets all the theories propounded by the worthy five. The result is an amusing comedy and a delicate satire.

Through the interest and efforts of some of the students a new activity was instituted this year in the organizing of a Glee Club. Warren A. Batchelor was elected President, and an Executive Board was appointed, consisting of Bradford Butler, George Kimball and Fred Moore.

Mr. Alexander Eickter was secured as director, and upon return from Christmas vacation, rehearsals began with about forty members present.

Progress was slow at first because of the inability of many of the members to read music. However this was slowly overcome, with the result that by the middle of March a fine organization had been molded.

At this time the freshmen members left for placement training, dropping our membership to about twenty-five. With the seniors attending faithfully and giving spirited support progress continued.

The preliminary stage having been passed through, we feel confident that the succeeding classes will keep alive the interest and strive for the incorpora- tion of musical presentation with the Commencement execises.

One dark, stormy night the Yokelville male citizenry was assembled in Hank Hicks' combination General Store, Post Office and Hotel around the sputtering stove, boasting as usual. This particular evening the bone of contention was education. Finally after each braggart had exhausted his real and imaginary source of learning, Hiram Judkins' high falsetto voice broke through their heavy silence with an introductory hem and haw and he forthwith held his cronies spellbound and gaping.

"Waal fellers, mebbe I ain't got nothin' much on you, but I got a cousin down Amherst way who went ter school even after he got outer the grades.

He tells as how he was one of em as entered the Two-Years Course at the Massachusetts Agricultural College — guess that's it — in 1927, and they was purty nigh outer a million or mebbe a hundred and thirty-two who started with him.

"The first day he says they was durn near flabbergasted, the place was so big, by gum, there bein' so many buildin's for 'em stretched all over the campus, and billions of other kids, too.

"Seems ter me I heard Aloysius say he went to a number of shindigs up there — receptions, dances, and the like. He said they was al'ays gettin" together now'n again specially ter the football games, and almost lost their voices yellin'. The boys got up a hockey team, and he never see'd the like of the way those fellers could travel on skates — some game that!

"They all stuck together like glue through every scrap. Besides these games, they played others as all of us useter do, and gosh, the co-eds (that's what the girls are named up there) were in some sorta thing, rifle team, think that's what they call it by. Guess girls ain't left out of nothin', now a days.

"An' say, lemme tell ya somethin' right here! They held a real votin' thing, election 'twas, and by crackee, they certainly did purty well. I reckon they was afeared my cousin Aloysius was too smart ter lead 'em, so instead the head of the class was Henry Graf, and his sub was Elbridge Belden. Agnes Sullivan kept account, whilst Fred Moore passed the hat. Not half bad, 'eh.-*

"Sure, they had clubs. Seems though they al'ays went by initials. There was two fraternities, seems ter me, called the A. T. G. and the K. K. Don't know much 'bout 'em, but Aloysius was al'ays writing' home sayin' his fra- ternity was havin' a meetin' or doin' somethin' or ruther. 'Member cousin says the S. C. S. (that's the girls' society) held a right good Costume Dance, too.

"Waal comin' along March the fellers and girls was sent out on diff'rent farms for placement work, think 'twas, but I 'spect they'll all be back in the Fall ready ter fill the seniors' shoes.

"Reckon 'Liza wants me ter home now, boys, but next time I'll tell yer more about how they came out as graduates an' all the rest. Before I go whaddya say to a cheer like they done? Ready! Set! Go! Rah! Rah! Rah! for the Class of 1929! Whoopee!"

By special arrangement with the departments concerned, we are pleased to print the following examination for those interested.

AGRONOMY HUSBANDRY

Quiz No. .007198.

1. How, if no scales were available, could the length of a hatching egg be determined by using an 18 grain test bottle that had been subjected to a high degree of pigmentation in the maner prescribed by Farrington?

2. If the amount of available humus in a barrel of dry undrained muck exceeds the liters weight of the organic matter in several liters of chipped beef, how could the necessary amount of lime be applied to sandy loam if the coulter on the manure spreader was set to plow a furrow 8 inches in depth? (If the negative is true, could the answer be used as an ample excuse to throw broken glass in the laboratory sinks?)

3. On a field trip, assuming that it was raining, how could the apples of any poultry plant owner be pilfered in a manner that would not lower the B. F. test of his 28 egg per month flock if the tile drains were plugged on three ends? (At some later date, an experiment of this nature will be under- taken. In case of snow, exercises will be held in the basement of the Drill Hall.)

4. Could an average lactometer reading of 6% be continued in case of hail if the operator of the test was killed by exposure to 2/3 of the run oflf water from three roofs of any given number of large size orchards that have a growth of buckwheat as a cover crop? (In case of rain, the funeral will be held on the following month.)

5. Draw a diagram showing the common factors which influence the spread of head type disease and all the ways it may be cured by use of egg laying contests. (If no roosters are available, disregard the topography.)

6. "Why is soil formed in milk?

7. Is the slope of the Pin Bones determined by the acidity of whey or its equivalent?

8. Give the average B. F. test for any given number of Southdown cows if the pigmentation has been found only in the teeth.

9. If tile drainage is applied to cows giving an average of 21,000 lbs. of 21/4 milk per year, will the B. F. be increased or will the bacteria be decreased? How is this accounted for?

10. How many pounds of Merrimac fine silt clay must be applied to 716,499 square grams of skim milk testing 6% B. F. to produce milk equal in texture to that sold in Chelsea on July 30?

11. Why must the lime used to neutralize acid soil be first subjected to pulverization by means of the Babcock tactometer, if the cream test bottles cannot be found? (This question is optional, and should be answered yes or no.)

12. How may the tilth of Cheddar Cheese be found if the B. F. test exceeds the lactometer reading, and if so why?

13. How, by use of 7 inch, dividers, may the length of the pelvic arch of the lowest producing Jernsey on- record be determined if the first four primaries in the next door neighbor's goat are not yet fully developed. N. B. This answer may be earned out three places and written in cubic centimeters.

14. How many pullets are needed to produce a certain number of eggs some cold day? If the eggs have an acidity test of over 79, two eggs are counted as one in the case of broken ones.

A week before school began, about twenty men reported to Coach Ball, sessions being held three times daily. With the opening of classes, the squad was increased considerably. The team was captained by Howard G. Pulsifer, and Alan D. Stackpole was chosen as Manager.

Vermont Academy 32 — M. A. C. 2-yr. 12 A trip to Sacton River for the opening game of the season resulted in a loss. Our green team showed offensive ability, however, by scoring two touchdowns after Vermont had made 19 points in the first five minutes of play. Slowness in getting started, and the greater experience of our opponents were too great to overcome.

WiUiston Academy 33— M. A. C. 2-yr. 0 \ fruitless journey to Easthampton resulting in a clear-cut victory for our opponents. This was due in part to the removal of Sam Mitchell because of injury, and the incompetentcy of a substitute center, no score having been made up to the time of the substitution. During the first half we kept the ball in their territory most of the time, but many fumbles later in the game spelled our defeat.

Trinity College Freshmen 0 — M. A. C. 2-yr. 25 This game proved that our team was rounding into form, and showing driving power as well as close defensive work. A fighting spirit was instilled

into the team as the boys had promised to bring back the football to Coach Ball, who was ill at home.

M. A. C. Freshmen 0 — M. A. C. 2-yr. 0 This game was the talk of the campus, and the attendance was large. The many prophesies of defeat for us were not realized, however, as our line was impenetrable, the frosh backs being stopped consistently. At the very beginning we took the offensive and threatened continually, reverting to defensive play during the last half. A thrilling game, and well-played all the way.

Pittsfield High School 6— M. A. C. 2-yr. 13 A well rewarded trip to Pittsfield, with our team playing its best brand of football. Repeated gains by Olsen, Graf, and Crissman, combined with real defensive work by the line, kept the ball in Pittsfield territory most of the time. Pittsfield fought hard to come back, but we were not to be denied.

Deerfield Academy 32 — M. A. C. 2-yr. 7 The hardest fought game of the season without our team out-weighed, and most of the boys playing the full game, while our opponents substituted freely. Our only score came as a result of a recovered fumble by Brad Butler, who ran 30 yeards for a touchdown.

This team was a great improvement over last year's, and it was made up of practically all green men, only two letter-men returning this fall. With good seasoned material as a nucleus, '29 should have a successful season.

W. Brown was elected Captain, and Parkinson Manager for next season.

The team: L. E., Cheney; L. T., Pulsifer (captain); L. G., Taylor; C, Mitchell; R. G., Dibble; R. T., Brown; R. E., Butler; Q., Graf; R. H., Sylvia; L. H., Crissman and Pellett; F. B.. Olsen; Subs.: Line, NapoH, Kellogg, Skovron, White, Greene, Ashworth, Ashton, Cormell, Stevens; Backs, Farmer, Gillis, Hall, and Hulbert.

Insignia were awarded to the following: Howard G. Pulsifer, '28, of Natick; Bradford H. Butler, '28, of Agawam; and Ralph E. Olsen, '28, of Belmont.

The following received sweaters as well as insignia: Samuel S. Mitchell, '28, of Salem; Thomas Napoli, '28, of Lexington; Oscar B. Taylor, '28, of Westport, Conn.; Joseph Sylvia, '29, of Mattapoisett; Henry Graf, Jr., '29, of Newburyport; Lysleford Dibble, '29, of West Springfield; Oliver F. Cheney, '29, of Framingham; Winsor C.

Directly after the Christmas vacation about forty candidates reported to Coach Ball, and under his direction a good team was molded. The team was captained by Alden W. Butters, and managed by Frank L. Lopes.

Arms Academy 15— M. A. C. 2-yr. 28 A line start with the team showing up well as a unit. Some polishing needed, but proving that we have real scoring power.

Hopkins Academy 18— M. A. C. 2-yr. 25 The team still working well. Hopkins led 5 — 3 at the end of the first half, but with Fleming leading the attack, we came back to win decisively.

Smiths Academy 12— M. A. C. 2-yr. 33 Another clean victory with Fleming and Olsen leading the offense, and Captain Butters fine at guard. Our game all the way.

South Deerfield High School 27— M. A. C. 2-yr. 24 A fast and exciting game in which our slowness in getting started, and the superior basket shooting by our opponent forwards, combined to defeat us.

New Salem Academy 19 — M. A. C. 2-yr. 9 Our utility men started this game and were on the short end of a 14 — 11 score at the 'first half. Our regulars went in and proceeded to tally at will and win handily.

Pittsfield High School 33— M. A. C. 2-yr. 23 The visitors amassed 18 points to our reserves' 4 in the first half, which proved too much for the regulars to overcome.

Amherst High School 5— M. A. C. 2-yr. 48 Our opponents were greatly outclassed, making only one goal from the floor. Fleming and Kelley led our attack.

Middlesex Pre-Medical 19— M. A. C. 2-yr. 23 A very evenly contested game with our superior offense carrying us to a win in the last half. Fleming again led the scoring.

Sacred Heart High School 31— M. A. C. 2-yr. 15 The first game on a strange, larger floor and slowness in getting started were accountable for our defeat. A hard-fought and closely contested game.

Deerfield Academy 48— M. A. C. 2-yr. 30 A visit to Deerfield resulting in a defeat for us. The first half was played on even terms, but during the second half our opponents tallied consistently.

Turners Falls High School 48— M. A. C. 2-yr. 37 A very fast game in which both teams scored freely. The weakening of our defense in the last half caused our defeat.

Smith Agricultural School 11— M. A. C. 2-yr. 35 A grand finale for the season, the team going fast with Olsen leading the attack. The utility men played most of the game and made a fine showing.

The team: C, Fleming; R. G., Butters (captain) ; L. G., Pellett; L. G., Kelley; R. F., Olsen; Subs: Napoli, Mayo, and Woodger.

Insignia were awarded to the following: Alden W. Butters. '28, of Natick; Ralph E. Olsen, '28, of Belmont; Leonard Pellett, '29, of Gardner.

Because of the interest shown, and the recognition gained last year. Hockey became installed as a major sport. As soon as the ice was in good condition, about twenty men reported to Coach Briggs. The team was cap- tained by Lewis H. Maddocks, Jr., and Samuel S. Mitchell was chosen Manager.

A schedule of ten games was prepared but due to the extremely queer weather, the ice being in poor condition, seven of these were cancelled.

Greenfield High School 2— M. A. C. 2-yr. 1 A trip to Greenfield for our opening game. A fast one with our forward line peppering the goal consistently, and our defense working well. The score was 1 — 1 at the end of the second period, but in the last period the puck was shot through a hole in the side of our net, counting as a tally, because the goal referee would not change his decision. Arguing was of no avail, so we accepted the decision, hoping for a return game, which was not realized.

Deerfield Academy 1 — M. A. C. 2-yr. 2 Our objective game of the season, and one replete with thrills, both for- ward lines threatening their opponents' goal continually. In the first period, both defenses were impenetrable, no score being made. Our forward line organized in the second period with the result that 2 goals were scored. Our opponents fought hard to come back in the last period, their efforts being rewarded with one goal. A good game with a very gratifying ending.

Gushing Academy 2 — M. A. C. 2-yr. l| A long trip to Ashburnham, and the game played during a driving snow storm. Both teams were severely handicapped, but it was a fast game from start to finish. Gushing tallied in the first period, and we countered a few minutes later. No score was ixiade in the next period. The last period was nip and tuck, until with only a few seconds to play, our opponents with a well arranged attack, eliminated our defense and scored. A well-organized team and a fine one to keep on our schedule.

Two practice games, against a team composed of half varsity and half freshmen were played, and in which we broke even, winning one 1 — 0, and losing the other by the same score.

The class of '29 with a team built around Hennie Graf, a fast forward, and Hermie Hoyt, a hard-skating center, with good material in Gillis, Eyberse, Skovron, W. Brown, T. Brown, and JVIasciocchi should have a successful season.

Graf was elected Gaptain, and Beals Manager for next season.

The team: G., Hoyt; R. W., Graf; L. W., Maddocks (captain) ; R. D., GiUis; L. D., Kimball; Goal, Batchelor; Subs: Eyberse, Masciocchi, Skovron, W. Brown, T. Brown, and Stevens.

Henry Graf, Jr., '29, of Newburyport, received insignia.

The following received sweaters and insignia: Lewis H. Maddocks, Jr., '28, of Dracut; George W. Kimball, '28, of Littleton; Warren A. Batchelor, '28, of Stoughton; Herman F. Hoyt, '29, of Newton.

JSaScball Ceam

In the latter part of March, the battery candidates were called out and practiced daily to get into condition. With the close of spring vacation, the reminder of the squad reported to Coach Briggs. Andrew Pazsit was elected Manager. Practice sessions are being held daily, and the team should give a good account of itself.

A number of injuries have occurred to rob the team of some very good material, but it is hoped that they will be back in the ranks shortly. The Line-up:

Catcher — Marchant Third Base — Maddocks, Davis

Pitcher — Butters, Davis Right Field — Lawson, T.

First Base — Olsen Center Field — Stowell, Coog

Second Base — Davis, Baker Left Field — Dennett, Johnson

Shortstop — Kimball, Lopes Substitutes: Doherty, c; Hoffman, c. f. ; Mayberry, p.; Pulsifer, 2d.

On The Best Authority

There has been some confusion about the rela- tive value of cleaning and sterilization.

On the best authority these two methods are complimentary to each other.

Sterilization should always follow the most careful cleaning, a cleaning such as the use of

airyman's

provides with its efficient action and unequalled rinsing qualities.

In this way a perfectly clean surface is provided for dairy equipment so that the sterilizing process can complete the work of insuring a surface free from preventable causes of lost quality in milk and milk products.

There is Chemistry and Physics Economics and Hydraulics In Building Greenhouses

But, thanks be to Peter, YOU don't have to stud^ any of them.

WHILE you've gone about your job of learning how to grow better flowers and more succulent vegetables, we've been building greenhouses to make raising them a lucrative twelve-months-a-year occupation.

While you have studied the chemistry of soils and fertilizers, we have been applying chemistry to the protection of greenhouse metals and wood from moisture and decay.

Every greenhouse we build is a product of engineering skill, a result of eighty years of tusslings with the laws of physics.

Every improvement we make, adds just so much to the economy of production.

That's why the Hitchings greenhouse is a perfected tool, ready to your hand, when you start out to make your mark and your fortune in the field of your chosen occupation. ■

Tell us what you'd like to do, and mayhap we can tell you how others have done it. Many of them with the aid of Hitchings greenhouses and Hitchings interested cooperation. Write us and let's get acquainted.
