BASKETBALL When the snow lay deep and the icy winds howled, the dim, but hallowed confines of our alma mata echoed, not with the names of the forgotten grid heroes or the whispered accounts of what had passed in the detention room, but the booming thud of a basketball on the hardwood court. Every afternoon the hoopsters worked hard under the tutelege of the master himself, “Uncle Mel,” and the result of their labor was one of the best quintets ever to carry the red and blue spangles into the fray, and to victory. Led by co-captains, Billy, “the butcher” Mannix and Eddie Marsh, this outfit was one of the finest since the immortal team of 1935 that won 18 straight games. They walked over their opponents and chalked up tallies in the win column that closely resembled telephone numbers. With Hank Durham and Buddy Imler on the defensive points and the co-captains teaming with Parker Carleton and Guy Jackson on the forward wall, the Belmont defense was prac- tically impregnable. Aided by such stellar reserves as Rogers, Dyer. Jack Stuart, Frank Prescott, and the seasoned veteran Tom O’Neil, it is easy to understand the team’s success, for “Uncle Mel,” could at any time send in a reserve aggrega- tion equally as strong as the varsity. i 24 }

HOCKEY TEAM Belmont High’s Hockey Team had a discouraging record this year in the G. B. I. League. Belmont has won one game and lost ten and there are only four games left to play. There is a good reason for this poor showing and here is the explanation: Johnny Thurston, right wing, broke his wrist in the third game with Stoneham; Alex MacLean lost four teeth in the Melrose fray; Jim Devlin, right wing, broke his collarbone in the Medford encounter; and Paul White, speedy left winger, received a cut that took seven stitches to patch up in the Cambridge Latin skirmish. Polly Harris’s team this year had only four veterans back from last year; Alex MacLean, “Doc” Cunningham, Vernon Harding, and Chris Ray. Little “Billy” Dewire, sophomore goalie, only 92 pounds did a great job this year in the goal, also “Tubber” McBride. Brucie Mather, a little shaver is showing great improvement and ought to be very good next year. Phil Stedfast is improving fast and has the makings of a good defenseman. Jim Devlin, Johnny Thurston, and Jimmy Shute, junior wings, and Johnny Mahler, also a junior, show great promise and will probably lead the team to a more successful showing next year. •{ 25 }
