As we travel on through life, friends. We will pleasantly recall The days we spent at A. H. S. Grateful for one and all. Let us not forget our teachers Who have helped us through each year, Nor forget the lessons taught us. Or the pleasures we ' ve had here. As we bid farewell to classmates And on our way we wend May the stars of faith and courage Ever guide us to the end. We have crossed the river. But the ocean lies before us. Our motto guides us on For our life is at its dawn. — Millicent Brooks Hill We, the Class of 1948, being of sound mind and stout heart (absolutely no comments from underclassmen) do declare this will, signed and sealed on June 11, 1948, to be our last testament revoking any and all others heretofore made by us.

Ruth Mono wills her negligee to the sewing department, so Mrs. Cooney can exhibit it to future classes. There ' ll probably be a boy ' s class next year. Larry Nelson leaves to get a pass.

We studied the situ- ation and were even going to give you an estimate, but all we can see is spots. Ruth Ploettner leaves her cuteness to her younger sister who will be a trosh next year.

I understand they asked the girls to wear signs. Mildred Todd leaves that sweet personal- ity to frosh Esther Gilmore. Marjorie Tipping leaves her giggles to some accomplished underclassman.

Now we, having declared this our last will and testament, leave on tip-toe by the back door; but before we go (don ' t rush us) we leave this codicil which will sUghtly change a few things if on June 12, 1948, the moon is very bright and six black cats sing Auld Lang Syne to the popular tune of I ' m My Own Grandpa, then and only then will Ev Ander- son not leave for Alaska but mail her socks from Florida; will Ruth Ploettner not leave her cuteness to her sister but take it with her; will Tessy not leave disappointed because Milly Vance will listen to her jokes if Eleanor will explain them; will Ollie Carlson not leave the treasury well- balanced but we ' ll all have to pay five dol- lars dues; will Hazel Whitcomb not only leave Carl ' s name echoing in the corridors but teach the echo to show emotion; will Don Cash not leave by bus to Dodgeville but drive in his new 1948 Cadillac; and will Most of us not leave peacefully, but return daily to pay our respects next year.

But then you must admit we weren ' t so different from the preceding Freshmen classes even though they thought that we were. At least we followed the tradition of the high school by running around with that lost dog ex- pression on our poor, young, innocent faces. We blushed with embarrassment everytime an upperclassman cast a scornful glance in our direction. This year Betty Pierce, Kathleen Kenton, Cynthia Brown, and Jean Parmenter were honored by being chosen members of the Blue Owl staff, and such boys as Frank Pinocci and Donnie Zilch mada their contri- butions to the athletic department. Finally the long lost hopes of electing class officers came true. The results were as fol- lows: JacqueUns Cole, President; Charlotte Edgecombe, Vice-President; Betty Pierce, Sec- retary; and Carolyn Freeman, Treasurer. With the help of Miss Pierce, our faculty ad- viser, and the dance committee, we put on the Freshman social, better known as the Jinx Jubilee. Although it was a very rainy night, the dance turned out to be a huge success, and we were more than proud to say we were Freshmen. By this time Ruth Brown and Eleanor Tes- ler had got up enough courage to push and shove for the first place in front of the mir- ror, and were soon learning the art of making- up from the Senior girls. The boys also were improving their appearances, especially Dave Lyon, who had lengthened his pants. By this time June was nearing, and we were already looking forward to our second year. SOPHOMORE YEAR There are Life Savers labelled pepper- mint, wintergreen, etc. We found a new brand and labelled them Sophomores. What a glorious feeling to know we wouldn ' t be picked on by the upperclassmen as we had been during our Freshman year! It was with great satisfaction that we could look upon the in-coming Freshies. My, how small they were — why, mere children; while we were part of the upperclassmen now and were be- ginning to distinguish ourselves as such. We all remember the joyous times that we spent in Mrs. Lyon ' s sanctum, and we were all sorry to see her leave. When the smoke rolled back from the scans of the battle of class elections, we found that Jackie Cole had again been elect- ed President; Donnie Zilch, Vice-President; Betty Pierce, Secretary; and Carolyn Free- man, Treasurer. Again to the Blue Owl staff we sent mem- bers, who this year showed their talents in many different departments. In sports, many of the up and coming heroes demonstrated their skills at bench warming , while Frank Pinocci became the pride of the Sophomore class by making the Varsity Basketball Team. Girls like Marion Cruff, Charlotte Edgecombe, Norma Givens, Ruth Jackson, and Natalie McGonigle upheld the feminine side of the class sports. Among other events this year, our invinci- ble basketball team went to the Tech Tourna- ment. A new sensation was created when we came forth with the Sophomore Pow-Wow , a dance that will not be forgotten, because of the wonderful decorations which were cul- minated by the artistic ability of David Cody. We are now coming to the close of our Sophomore year. After many dissappoint- ments and successes, we wondered what the Junior year held in store for us. With the best of intentions we left our Sophomore year and looked forward with high expecta- tions to our third year. JUNIOR YEAR And now we appear as Juniors, hard working, careworn, and weary. After the office help got tired of seeing peeping-Toms from morning until one-forty, our new princi- pal, Mr. Samuel Graves, was introduced to us in the first assembly of the year. The first and one of the most important things we did was to elect a ring committee which, after long debates, selected those beautiful blue stoned gems which we flashed proudly. The next thing on the agenda was to elect our class officers. We switched from girl to boy and made Frank Pinocci, President; Donald Zilch, Vice-President; Suzanne Sharp- ies, Treasurer; and Kathleen Deegan, Sec- retary. The change that had taken place in two short years was remarkable. We see the girls admiring the Senior boys, while the Junior boys seen quite attenti ve to the Fresh- men girls. Football, our most popular game, did not lack juniors. John Nunes, Tony Caponigro, and Jimmy Martineau were all standouts. Eddie Greve was playing for the baseball team, while Frank Pinocci still held his own on the basketball court. NexL was the Junior dance. Having fore- sight to those ever-increasing class dues, we now needed a dance that would be a finan- cial success as well as one that would live up to the usual high standards. Conse- quently, we came forth with the very orig- inal Stairway to a Star which turned out to be both. There was a great deal of excitement around the corridors earlier in the year when ten of the Junior girls were initiated into the Tri-Y. We never realized anyone could look so horrible! Three years behind us now! We looked forward with the same enthusiasm with which we had begun our Junior year to the last and and most eventful one yet. SENIOR YEAR We ' re here because we ' re here. At last it had happened! For three long years we had been waiting to become the dignified Seniors whom everyone looks up to. It was now that we could command respect from the lower classmen; but we knew it was up to us to set a good example, which we readily did. We were Seniors in every sense of the word. In the final political campaign of our high school career we elected Donald Zilch, Presi- dent; Catherine Casler, Vice-President; Kath- leen Deegan, Secretary; and Olive Carlson, Treasurer. And with these we started off the Senior year. With their help and the help of the dance committee, we presented the first dance of the year, The Senior Anonymous. Could anything be more orig- inal? I don ' t think anyone will forget the way Milly Vance and Ken Houghton came whizzing out on their bicycle built for two. Our football and basketball teams did am- azingly well this year. We certainly showed those Northies who knew how to play football. As usual John Nunes, Craig Mul- ligan, Tony Caponigro and Frank Pinocci carried the torch for the Senior Class and were ably assisted by John Newton, Stevie Iwuc, Gerry Doyle and Ralph Jordan. Frank Pinocci was the lone survivor for the basket- ball team but again showed that he had not lost any of his ability at shooting baskets. Another big event of the season was the Sen:or Prom, the Snowflake Fantasy , c very appropriate name because of the fierce snow storm that had occurred the day before. Ann Driscoll and Frank Pinocci were crown- ed the royal couple. Attleboro High School was honored this year by having five Senior girls — Joan Bean, Cynthia Brown, Betty Pierce, Anita Felipe, and Jean Parmenter become members of the National Honor Society. This was a very impressive ceremony. We were all very proud of these girls. Mr. William Spink, a new member of the faculty this year, directed the Senior play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. It was what is called a smash hit. It starred Cynthia Brown and Eleanor Tesler, while Don Zilch, Rita Turgeon, Betty Pierce, Jean Parmenter, Art Seel, Mildred Vance, Hazel Whitcomb, Clint Gorman, Barbara Miller, Paul Murphy, David Lyon, and Jimmy Jesso all did a marvelous job of backing them up. In March the French Club sponsored the Mardi Gras. Although it was the first time anything of this sort had been attempt- ed, it turned out to be the most elaborate dance of the year. The highest scholastic honors went to Betty Pi3rce and Anita Filipe, who were chosen valedictorian and salutatorian respectively. We have finally reached the turning point in our career where upon we are all taking a different path. No matter which it is, we leave this thought in mind: We have crossed the river; But the ocean hes before us. 1 — Class Clown John Nunes 2— Most Serious Girl Shirley Bell 3 — Most Serious Boy Arnold Hawkins 4 — Best-mannered Girl Joanne Hall 5 — Best-mannered Boy FrankUn Perry 6 — Champion Gum Chewer Eleanor Tesler 7— Typical High School Girl Marion Cruff 8 — Typical High School Boy Frank Pinocci 9— Class Scientist Bob Holdgate 10— Best Girl Athlete Marion Cruff 1 1— Best Boy Athlete Frank Pinocci 12 — Cutest Girl Lorraine Brousseau 13 — Cutest Boy Bunny Benson 14— Quietest Girl Shirley Patten 15 — Quietest Boy Robert McLeod 16— Liveliest Girl Marion Cruff 17 — Liveliest Boy Harry DriscoU 18— Best Girl Blusher Ann Coogan 19 — Best Boy Blusher Warren Stromberg 20— Neatest Girl Ann Driscoll 21 — Neatest Boy Marshall Gormley 22 — Best Looking Girl Norma Givens 23 — Best Looking Boy Craig Mulligan 24— Wittiest Girl Dot Dennis 25— Wittiest Boy Craig Mulligan 26— Best Girl Dancer Eleanor Tesler 27 — Best Boy Dancer Ray Juaire 28— Most Popular Girl Marion Cruff 29 — Most Popular Boy Tony Caponigro 30— Friendliest Girl Anita Filipe 31 — FriendUest Boy Frank Pinocci 32— Most Industrious Girl Betty Pierce 33 — Most Industrious Boy Arnold Hawkins 34— Class Optimist Don Zilch 35— Class Pessimist Shirley Patten 36— Best Dressed Girl Ann Driscoll 37 — Best Dressed Boy Marshall Gormley 38— Girl Most Likely to Succeed, Betty Pierce 39— Boy Most Likely to Succeed Arnold Hawkins 40— Most Sophisticated Girl Betty Butler 41 — Most Sophisticated Boy Ray Juaire 42 — Most Absent-minded Girl Rita Turgeon 43 — Most Absent-minded Boy Ray Smith 44_Most Talkative Girl Dot Dennis 45— Most Talkative Boy Jim Jesso 46 — Best Actor Don Soule 47— Best Actress Cyn Brown 48— Best Girl Artist Beryl Roun 49— Best Boy Artist Dave Cody 50— Best All-round Girl Marion Cruff 51 — Best All-round Boy Tony Caponigro 52— Class Romeo Paul Murphy 53— Class Juliet Cyn Brown 54_The One Who Did the Most for the Senior Class Don Zilch 55— The One Who Did the Most for A.

At an impressive ceremony held December 4, 1947 (a day we are sure not one of the five will ever forget!) the charter members of the newly formed Attleboro Chapter were inducted into the National Honor Society. It was a thrilling affair. No one but those who have experienced it can realize what it is to be tapped on the shoulder I and suddenly awakened to find himself being es-L corted down the aisle. ■ Newly elected members became acquainted with the significance of the great honor of being chosen a member of this national organization whose stand- ards are both high and varied. One must not only have a high scholastic rating but also be of good moral character and an outstanding high school cit- The second ceremony was held May 7 at which time both Juniors and Seniors were inducted. Oh, yes! Who were the Big Five ? Anita, presi- dent of the society, wso was our salutatorian; Cyn- nie, honor essayist, the vice-president; Jean, co-editor- in-chief of Tattletale and Blue Owl; Betty, our vale dictorian; and Joanie, the other half of the Tattletale and Blue Owl, were the committee responsible for the planning of the May induction ceremony.

You can easily guess, can ' t you? t ' s right! — an outstanging, super duper, most won- ful edition of the TATTLETALE! We ' ll bet that u haven ' t seen anything like ye Gods and God- c 3ss before! By the way, besides having loads of f ., there was a little work involved. We tramped f :hfully from that hole in the wall, known as the ue Owl office, to Room 203 and Miss Stoehr. Con- s [uently, this year ' s staff suggests that a royal c pet be laid from said office to 203 to save wear c i tear on the soft soles of those staff members who tinted there every day for five months to com- this book. After hours of futilely wracking brains, we came forth with this publication ich we hope brings each of you many hours of THE STUDENT COUNCIL Do you have any complaints to make? Bring them to the Student Council. Everyone is familiar with the duties of this organization, especially since that Win or Lose Fun Frolic. This year along with its regular activities, our Student Council entertained the South- eastern Branch of Associated Bodies of Student Coun- cils of Massachusetts. Members of the Council at- tended such conferences held at different schools throughout the year. Congratulations to Fuzzy Ney who was elected not only President of the South- eastern Branch but also of the State Branch. Serving as officers were Lorraine Brousseau, Presi- dent; Ann Driscoll, Vice-President; Shirley Buchanan, Secretary; and Fuzzy Ney, Treasurer.

BOYS ' GLEE CLUB Sing so the frowns won ' t find your face was the motto of the boys who met weekly with Mr. Chase to study musical compositions and to enjoy singing together. They have done much to support the mu- sical end of our school entertainment. Participation in the annual spring concert was an enjoyable ex- perience for them. Mr. Chase hopes that a future Nelson Eddy will be discovered among them. GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB And the angels sing! Every Monday, while the student body should be deeply engrossed in pre- paring their lessons, we are serenaded by a group of eighty-five girls under the direction of Mr. Chase. These girls met to study the standard musical works of renowned composers. The accompanist was Eunice Anderson.

HI-Y Have you ever wondered if you would see more than ten boys at one time in Attleboro? You can if you visit the Hi-Y meetings. There is no man short- age there! The Hi-Y enjoyed a very successful year under the direction of the President, Ralph Hudson; Vice-President, Howie O ' Hare; Secretary FrankUn Perry; Treasurer, Bob Foley; and adviser Howard Chilson. Their programs consisted of a business meeting followed by either a movie or a speaker who not only had to speak but also to dodge the hbarage of elastics whizzing between Carl Weeman and Hootie Wetherall. They conducted paper drives and sponsored a session of the Canteen with the Tri-Hi-Y. But foremost in the hearts of ten of our he- men was the convention held in Northampton. Why? After the convention a dance was held and all of 1hem were fixed up with blind dates. Ah, yes! The wolf comes out in them now. This year they also had their outing with the Tri-Y in May. TRI-Y Tri-Y and initiation go together, and this year was no exception. That day last fall when we thought Attleboro High was invaded by a group of gypsies was typical of a Tri-Y initiation day. However, this was only the beginniing of the club ' s activities. With faculty adviser. Miss Edith Hinckley, the club met every other Monday night at the high school to hear various spakers such as Mr. Zmudsky, Dr. Carlton Ford, and three nurses from the Sturdy Memorial Hos- pital. Looked forward to by all of the fairer sex (and also the boys) is that famed Tri-Y dance, this year called Christmas Tree Inn. Another activity that kept the Tri-Y busy this year was the Banguet held for their Alumni of the past four years. Officers this year were President, Cyn Hawkins; Secretary, Eunice Anderson; and Treasurer, Norma Givens. ROVv 4: Barbara Scanlon, Terese Le d3ux, Madsline Marlins, Ann Mulligan Jacqueline Mossberg.

DRIVERS ' EDUCATION Queek: THE BRAKE! How many times did Mr. McLean shout that at the energetic little group who met each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Period X to pry into the deep, dark mysteries of driving. Many are the stories we heard about those esca- pades in Capron Park — driving around trees, turn- ing around in the middle of said park, (on roads, of course), or simply trying to keep steering in a straight line. For many months the students taking this course devoted their time to studying the mechanics; after that finishing, the whole class was able to dis- tinguish between Ithe clutch and the brake. How- ever, after all kidding is over, weren ' t we proud to see so many kids driving a car (with all that postery it looked like a circus wagon) and becoming efficient drivers through the drivers ' education class? CANTEEN COMMITTEE Who was responsible for those wonderful times had every Saturday night at Swing Inn ? Maybe the girls think it was the fellows and vica versa, but it was not. It was none other than the old faithful canteen com- mittee. Every Wednesday night these people trudge up to the Y to decide what will happen the next week. With Fuzzy Ney, Chairman; Shirley Buchan- an, Vice-Chairman; Virginia Doyle, Secretary; CUnt Gorman, Treasurer; and Daniel Kitchen, Adviser, they decided who would be at the door, who would run the coke bar, and, of course, who would be on the clean-up committee. This year such special parties as the Christmas Party, Valentine Party, and the Anniversary Party were held. The additions tc the canteen were the public address system and the spothght.

SPANISH CLUB COMPRENDE VD. ESPANOL? One of the newest clubs in A. H. S. this year, the panish Club was organized for the purpose of fur- lering acquaintanceship with the customs and lan- uage of Spanish-speaking people. Under the su- ■ervision of Senorita Politella, the members elected resident, Sheldon Smith; Vice President, Abbie Ray- lundo, and Secretary-Treasurer, Arlene Bell. Pan- imerican Day was observed, and other holidays leie celebrated in the Spanish style. The club also dited a newspaper and planned the annual Spanish iesta. FRENCH CLUB Remember the Mardi Gras? Do you know who wcs responsible for this carnival of confetti, noisemakers, masks, and colorful gowns? It wos none other than the French Club. Under the capable direction of Mile. Pierce and President Rita Turgeon, it met every Thursday during Period X in the sewing room. And did they have fun? Mais oui! The purpose of the Cercle was to improve the French diction and to enable the members to parler francais more fluently. At the beginning of the year each member signed a pledge stat ing that he would speak nothing but French from the time the meeting was called together until adjournment. The pride of the French Club was the Mardi Gras which was the different dance of the year. It was inexpensive yet semi-formal, and it was carried on in typical Mardi-Gras fashion — a fad enjoyed by all who attended. SECOND ROW: Richard Oliver, Wen Morris, Marjorie Clailin, Eugene F( taine.

SKETCH CLUB With tools in hand the Sketch Club undertook many projects such as metal work, finger painting, sculptoring with soap and clay, and seasonal work. However, due to the necessity of M rs. Kelly ' s leaving, the activities of the club were limited. Officers of the club were Bob Fisher, President; Milton Wilheimer, Vice-President; Mary Bliss, Secre- tary; and Kathie Kenton, Treasurer. Now that the new member of the faculty, Mrs. Gerlach, is here, the members anticipate a full schedule for next year. PRESS CLUB Ever read the Attleboro Sun? Oh, yes, naturally al] of us who go to A.H.S. have read the high school notes that appear each evening. Who is responsible for keeping our parents up on the absence list and othei happenings around school? Why, it is no one othei than the Press Club! Each day one reporter tells oJ the events in school such as assemblies, dances movies and other school functions. After these notes have been handed to Miss Allen, the faculty mem bsr for the Press Club who proofreads them, they are, typed and sent to the Attleboro Sun just in time for the first edition. MIXED CHORUS And their voices blended in song. The mixed chorus meets weekly and includes members of the Boys and Girls ' Glee Clubs. This group of forty-five voices studied the works of all com- posers and learned to sing in harmony. They sang at the National Honoir Society assemblies. Jean Taylor, Ruth Spinney, and John Newton accompan- ied Mr. Chase to the New England Music Festive! at Portland, Maine, in April.

SENIOR PLAY We suffered along with Cornelia and Emily each time the safety pockets showed up; we laughed at Emily ' s fear of high places; we caught Cornelia ' s mecsles — but we still arrived in Paris. With the slo- gan, The show must go on , Mr. Spink and the Senior Class undertook the production of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Ripley himself would not believe the obstacles overcome by these artists to make the play such a great success. Could Tessy ever forget the famed telephone — the one that fell apart? Scatterbrained Emily, portrayed by Cyn Brown, added much to the play. Can ' t you imagine Cyn end Tessie alone in Paris? We suffered with Dave as he plodded along under the weight of the girls ' trunks. Rita ' s accent was right out of this world. We were transported to the days of the French Rev- olution when her excitement reached its zenith. How many times did Anita FiUpe fire cues to Donny Soule? Did you know who the gal behind the screen was? Shirley Buchanan was helping us over the rough spots. Ah, fond memories! THE TWILIGHT SAINT For the first time in many years the task of pro- ducing a serious play was undertaken by the dra- matic department. The results of their efforts was the highly dramatic production, The Twilight Saint , written in a blank verse and directed by Mr. William B. Spink. The plot concerned Guido, a young poet, who because he had learned to prize worldly possess- ions more than spiritual contentment, had lost his gift to compose. His wife, Lisetta, distressed by his emotional upset, had become deathly ill, because she realized Guido no longer loved her. The arrival of Saint Francis of Assissi, who gave both of them ethreal council, once more brought Guido to his senses and again he was able to write beautiful verses as bsfore. Student director of this play was Florence Pelletier. The cast was as follows: Guido, the young poet. Fuzzy Ney; Lisetta, his bed-ridden wife, Hazelle Lam- oureaux; Pia, a weazened, old woman who waits on Lisetta, Helen Guillette; Saint Francis of Assissi, a benevolent old monk, James Jesso. Because of the extreme difficulty in producing such a thoroughly moving and philosophical presentation, all the mem- bers of the cast deserve commendation for their out- standing performances. )W 6; William Firth, Chester Bielecki.

VIDIO CLUB Have you seen a lot of movies around school this year? Did you wonder who was responsible for turning the switches that operates the lights? It ' s none other than the Video Club. Under the direction of Mr. Coding, the club operates everything that you see or hear. Included in its activities this year were operating the moving picture comera for all the classes, producing the sound effects for the various plays and creating the lighting effects for the senior play and the vaudeville show.

BLUE OWL Green ink, cartoons, etc., all innovations of the most wonderful institutions of Attleboro High School, the Blue Owl, and its next of kin, the Red Bobbin (commonly known as the April Fools ' issue). Besides of the above mentioned, there were those marvelous six page additions and the super duper eight page Thanksgiving edition which everyone was sure just couldn ' t emerge from the gloomy, little hole in the wall — our office. With Seek and ye shall find as our motto, we proceeded, after having been evicted from the clinic — since converted into a Guidance Office to find our own hangout. Ever faithful A. H. S. came up with one wing of the stage. In this little nook, which was always crowded to capacity, the Blue Owl editors wrote, discarded, and rewrote their material until it was fit for our outstanding paper. Under the friendly supervision of Miss Barbara Jef- fers, we put out a publication to be proud of. To quote Jean and Joanie, Long live the ' Blue Owl ' !!

BAND And the band played on isn ' t only applicable to men of Casey ' s day. Our music makers started off the year at a busy rate playing at football games. They participated in the annual spring concert held in May. An invitation extended by B. U. to join thirty other Massachusetts high schools for a High School Day was accepted. The colorful display of uniforms and the effect of those thirty bands playing Military Escort in unison added zest to the atmos- phere for the B. U. vs. Colgate game. The band lost an able leader when Mr. Zamba- rano, after ten years of service, found it impossible to keep Attleboro on the teaching list. Mr. Chase has assumed these duties. ORCHESTRA The strains of sweet music, which soothed our shat- tered nerves and distracted our attention from home- work, floated from the instruments of the orchestra members. They provided music for assembUes, the Senior Play, and participated in the annual concert in May. Four membrs of the orchestra, Robert Bil- lings, Charlotte Merrill, Maureen Ledoux and Robert McLeod played in the Massachusetts All-State Or- chestra at Symphony Hall in Boston after a three-day rehearsal. Although two seniors, Robert Billings and Robert McLeod, are leaving the orchestra this year, a fine group remains to carry on. JUNIOR RED CROSS Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. With this idea in mind the Junior Red Cross swung into service. These industrious girls under the leadership of Cyn Brown, President, filled many box- es for overseas. They also knitted squares, made jackets, and stuffed toys. Mrs. Cooney ably advised the organization. MATH CLUB Angles, polygons, hyp otenuses, and rectangles are the bane of some of our young lives. To that group that gathered with Mr. Skelton every Thursday night, they were play toys from which much pleasure was derived. To solve unusual prob- lems and learn how mathematics is related to other fields of work was a satisfying pastime. The pro- gram was varied by interesting talks and movies.

Up to date the A. H. S. I diamond boys have played three games in the reg- ular schedule, defeating Pawtucket West by a large , margin and winning once from Wellesley and then losing the third game of the season to the same team by close scores. - Seniors out to make the team this year are Frank Pinocci, Franklin Perry, Don Bourden, and Eddie Greve. FOOTBALL The record of the 1947 football squad this year was a much better one that has been accounted for since the days of Powers Inc. Their seasonal record was 4 wins — 4 losses — and 2 ties with wins over Walpole, Fairhaven, Taunton and North. One of the ties was with Durfee who didn ' t lose a game the whole season. The most treasured victory was that one played on Thanksgiving morning at North. The bombardiers outscored, outclassed and outplayed the Northies to the tune of 31-6. Outstanding seniors on the gridiron this year were Frank Pinocci, Don Bourden, Tony Caponigro, John Nunes, John Newton, and Craig Mulligan. We wish these boys the best of luck wherever they may go.

The highlights were the tw o moral victories against the New England Champs, Durfee, losing twice 50-53 and 52-57. The latter loss was the game that decided whether or not the Toziermen would be entitled to a crack at the Eastern Massachusetts Championship. Also we wish to mention that the star of the year was Frank Pin- occi, who was second in the B. C. scoring, trailing Andy Farrissy by 5 points, with 296 points to his credit. Also keeping the ball moving on the floor at times were Craig Mulligan, a senior, and a fleet of juniors and sophomores who are expected to return next year and give Durfee a real fight for the fan ' s money. ilHD ROW: Donald Briggs, Richard adden, Walter King, Donald Bourdon, chard March, Fran ' .lin Perry, Ralph liver. iCOND ROW: Raymond Boucher, Fred lompson, Donald Bourdon, Richard Dung, Earl Charest, Robert Carpenter, oward O ' Hare.

S. wresthng was inaugurated into the school sports. Coach Cas- sidy had a fine turnout, although they were lacking in experience. In future years he expects to have much better luck in the sport. Experience is the best teacher, and it takes a year or two for the boys to get what is needed for most any sport. The team had five meets this season against Hope High, Moses Brown, the Perkins Institute of the Blind, and two meets with Needham High School. The seniors who were voted letters were Franklin Perry and Ralph Jordan. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL This yaar girls ' basketball team was one that the girls of A. H. S. won ' t forget for some time to come. ' They were undefeated for the first time in seven years. The season was highUghted by such wins as those over Wrentham, Foxboro, and the Y. M. C. A. In the second game with Foxboro, on the Foxboro home court, the girls were held to a 38-38 tie in one of the thrillers of the season. With only one senior on the team we must say that the girls should be tops next year. The stars of this years team were as follows: Jackie Mossberg, Marion Cruff, and Torchy Ander- son as forwards; at the guard positions were Pinky Galvin, Butch Coleman, and Hoggy Hogberg. Good luck to the best girl athlete of the Class of ' 48, Marion Cruff. GIRLS ' FIELD HOCKEY Girls ' field hockey was a new sport in A. H. S. Undsr the direction of Miss Brennan the team was organized. About fifteen girls reported to practiice at Willett Field to learn the fundamentals of field hockey. The girls who comprised the team were chosen from A. A. members only. Those who par- ticipated this year were Theresa Coleman, Olive Red- den, Mary Monroe, Regina Hilliard, Phyllis Robinson, Carol Clegg, Ann MuUigan, Arlene Bell, Jean Beau- soliel, Roberta McGee, and Jackie Mossberg. Although this team didn ' t play competitive games this year. Miss Brennan has hopes for the 1949 seas- on. One of the reason the team couldn ' t play was the late arrival of the goal posts; in fact, they didn ' t arrive until the last day of the hockey season, and of course, there is always difficulty in getting a new sport rolling. The best of luck to a new and interest- ing addition to A. H. S. ' s sports curriculum. n HERE A NAIL.
