Drills in High Schools and Study Disruption
The article debates whether high school cadets time spent on military drills affects academics.

Fire Rages Through East Bridgewater Wrecking Church and Foundry
A $100000 blaze devastated East Bridgewater engulfing the Methodist Church area and the Old Colony foundry complex.
