Q .Mi Q H H H YEARBOOK Jublbwn lcfafuublm Big Chief Lampson directed our warriors on a tour of massacres that resulted in a record of which any tribe should be proud. With the sound of the Howe war cry ringing in the air, the Billerica Indians started on the warpath by massacring a weak Ayer tribe on our home hunting grounds. After this first taste of victory blood, the Howe Indians succeeded in scalping Wilmington on her own territory. The tomahawk had to be sharpened again for the big attack on the visiting Dracut tribe, who were defeated by the Howe tribe. At the next massacre, in which our Indians won over a weak and divided Burling- ton party, our tribe suffered the loss of Warrior John Terris for the season. His loss to the team was evident when the Lexington Minutemen defeated our tribe on Howe territory. Howe was ambushed at Tewksbury for a victory which cost Howe the Merrimack Valley Suburban League title. The Indians changed their pace when they scalped a powerful Stoneham tribe. Our braves' attack left the strong visitor bewildered and beaten. A powerful Concord tribe proved too much for our visiting braves. Although Howe was beaten, Concord was left thoroughly battlescarred. A highly rated Johnson tribe left Howe hunting grounds minus some scalps when our braves won again, ending the ninth battle of the season. No war dance was needed to get our Indians keyed up for the Turkey Day battle with Chelmsford on the latter's territory. The battle ended with Howe the victor and permanent owner of the Westlands Improvement Association Trophy, which has been the object of many a battle between Howe and Chelmsford. Jack Redman, who starred for Howe in all of the massacres by his running and passing, played his best in this Chelmsford game, as did every brave on the team. Although braves John Terris, Hank Henry, and John Redman suffered wounds during the season, Howe came home to rest, till next year, with a battle score of 7 wins and 3 losses.

HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK mwumg V-i-c-t-o-r-y! V-i-c-t-o-r-y! That's how you spell it! Here's how you yell it! Victory! Victory! Yah! At the Howe High football games this year, the cheers for victory were led by eleven peppy Howe girls, who wore green uniforms trimmed with white and decorated with the letter The head cheerleader, Peggy Glavine, was ably assisted by Sandy Sands, Dottie Olivieri, Shirley Shaw, Lois Muck, Shirley Clark, Mary O'Neill, Eileen Cameron, Susan Jean, Jean Kilmartin, and Marion Meserve. Mary A. Fitzgerald of the faculty coached the girls, and Diana Moss served as manager. The day before the Thanksgiving Day game, a rally was heldg and the cheerleaders were escorted into the auditorium by the football players. The student body was given an excellent opportunity to practice the various cheers in preparation for the big game with Chelmsford. The work of cheering the teams on to victory was also continued during the basketball season. To these girls, one of the largest and liveliest groups of cheerleaders that the school has ever had, we are grateful for the interest and the color you brought into the Howe High athletic program. -30- K
