DIETRICH fEW people who have been connected with Shaw High School and its 1600 or more students can equal the sincerity and achievement of her principal. Mr. M. C. Dietrich, who came to Shaw from Bill­ ings, Montana, now brings to a close his eleventh year as the head of Shaw. During the past decade he has done much to broaden the curriculum and stimulate interest in outside activities. At the same time he has maintained a keen interest in the individual whose problems he has handled justly and with wisdom. The wheels of Shaw have indeed gone forward under his expert guidance. 8 • shaw faculty MISS J EAN QUAY, Assistant Principal MR . HOWARD K. HUNTER, Guidance Director MR. F. E.

  • Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball
    A Schott From The Bleachers Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball by Arthur O. Schott Listed on the roster of major league players is one Charles E. Mason. He appeared in a total of 21 games, hitting .183, with 15 hits in 82 times at bat. His career began in the old National Association (a predecessor of the National League) on April 26, 1875, with the Centennials of Philadelphia. After twelve games there, Mason went to the Washington club in the same league for eight games. Mason’s career ended in 1883 when “base ball” was still being written as two words. He appeared in the old American Association major league. He made one hit in two times at bat (a .500 average for his short career there). Why is this seemingly insignificant performance so long ago worthy of mention? Charles Mason was born on June 25, 1853 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and died October 21, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That fact, coupled with his short major league career, entitles him to a record that can never be equaled: he was the first New Orleans native to play in a league of major classification. The accompanying box score is that of Charles Mason’s first game, when the New Orleans native played right field for the Centennials and contributed two hits in four times at bat.

  • Trenton's Recreations
    Chapter XVI Trenton's Recreations by John J. Cleary I. Popular Picnic Groves and Washington Retreat No city has gone in for play more heartily than Trenton. If "the groves were God's first temples," so they afforded the earliest opportunity to our people for wholesome recreation, and though the picnic grounds of the nineteenth century are now no more, Trenton's present-day park system may be said to be continuing the tradition. The Picnic Groves The first local picnic ground was Drum Darrach, owned by John Scully, where the local papers reported several outings, notably "a Fourth of July frolic" in 1827. Drum Darrach, it is said, was a fine demesne in Ireland near which Scully spent his youth and which lingered pleasantly in his memory as he acquired means in the New World. It was located opposite the Beakes homestead or a short distance above the present Junior High School No. 1, running from Princeton to Brunswick Avenues, eight acres in extent, and provided with abundant shade and a stream of water fed from natural springs. There was also a quarry on the property, which doubtless paid the proprietor better than did the picnic rentals. A feature of the Fourth of July frolic, above 1 mentioned, was generous fare and a series of toasts dedicated to patriotic and sentimental thoughts. We read subsequently that in 1847 the wooded spot was used as a recruiting camp for the Mexican War. Jackson's Woods Jackson's Woods was a favorite resort for a number of years beginning in the '50's.
