"Mac" as he is Irett' ; known, was the star pitcher on! um- !,ase halt team and he pitched a -plendid game. He played half! i-mk on last year's football team,: 4 and demonstrated his ability re-, ' '.iikahly well.

"Mac" came to our high" school '• '■ year from Perkiomen Preparatory School, where he had been ■ttending. His parents are the proprietors of the Imperial Hotel. Immediately upon his arrival, the school spirit which he showed was scon and admired by other pupils, unjfcrcr a result better school spirit wa'frcn; ullce manifested by the entire student body.

The contributor of school notes M " has now in his hands a copy- of the ' ' oration that was given by one of " the members of the graduating P class of 1911, the directory of j ! I' which class appear* in this Issue. ! c The oration which was delivered j 1 by Edward R. Cotton, at the commenccment exorcises was splendid " and m. st timely. It made a deep e impression, rnoreso than any ora1 tion ever l-efore given in the Ocean * City high school. The subject was "Commission Form of Govern- ' imcnt." The oration was carefully ' ! prepared and was so well delivered ■jtliat the people expressed a desire 1 for copies of it. 'j Consequently, Mr. William K. ' "I Fisher, w ho was then editor of the ' Ocean City ledger, printed several Mtundred copies und distributed 1 them all over town. As a result, 1 ■ j the following year, the govern- f ! ment of Ocean City was changed j . " from a City Council to a "Com-|J 't mission Form of Government." | ' 'j The Senior* who are about to j* "write their essays and orations,1 might take a lesson from Edward j'

Cotton and select topics that deal j ' : w ith conditions existing today and ! 1 tomorrow-. Choose subjects that i ' ® i will help us to solve the problem j that exists today. That is what "Edward Cotton did. Many have! e expressed their epinion that he "helped largely to establish the: -present form 'of government in

r i LACK OF FACILITIES CAUSE ] FIELD DAY POSTPONEMENT Owing to the lack of a suitable - 1 place- on which to hold the Fourth! ' Annual Field Day Festival, of the ; • public schools, which were to have ! ;lreen held on Wednesday, May 25, ( • ;jt lias been called olf for this year! -;or rather postponed until next ' - 1 year. This was the announcement ' made by Physical Director Elmer ' (E. Unger and approved by Supt. J ' James M. Stevens. It" was thought ' 1 rather than tn try to hold the af- ' -| fair on a lot too small, or at a ' ; place where the ground was not 1 ! solid, it would Ire better to posti pone the program until next year, 1 jwhen there would Ire a large ath- ' letic field available, on which to 1 | hold it. I ! 'A number of the teachers agreed v (with Supt. Stevens and Director | while others though that we c should go through with the event. '' though we would have been:-' for a field not suit- '' able for the occasion. "

i Several places were mentioned, but none of them were appropriate. The parking station was too small as was the camp ground. These places were not considered large I ; enough to accommodate the thousj and or more pupils that are in our 'schools today, in addition to hund- ! re<ts of spectators that have always | out to witness the spcctacjular affair. No better site could been selected than the ground , between Fifth and Sixth streets, the ground been harder and solid. The ground where the proposed new athletic field is to lie made, between Fifth and Sixth, and Haven avenues, is like that of the ground alrevc montionlt is with regret that we were compelled to postpone the biggest , event of the year. For the past three weeks the teachers have Ireen th pupils ami have Ireen getting them ready in fine style.

ql Judging from the uppearaiwc of; 1 1 the program and the fine spirit. - 1 shown by I -oil. the teachers and t ! pupils, this years field day festival ti would have surpascd all others in j previous years. r GAME WITH ATLANTIC r WILL BE ABANDONED sj Ahe Ocean City High School j ' ; foot hall team will not "meet the 1 ) Atlantic City High School first'' - team on the gridiron this coming!
