E NTHUSIASM! Spirit! The first day of school the pep of the hockey team was proved when there issued forth from the gym a clamor of girls’ voices asking the same, the all-important, the one-and-only question, “WHEN DOES HOCKEY PRACTICE START?” This year’s team couldn’t help but be successful within the bounds of the “swellest” coach, Miss Daughraty; the “bestest” captain, Ruth Adams; and the “keenest” manager, Eleanor DeCoste. Maybe you didn’t know, but not only is this a hockey team but a comic team as well. Was there ever anyone funnier than Dottie with her actions and expressions when she missed the ball? Who would think to carry lunch to all the games? None other than that star inner, Ollie. Before our game Dot Johnson, the center, had to be held by five girls while the sixth put some lipstick on her. Was there ever a card like that full-back, Jean (except for the Joker)? She plays an instrument which has no name but sounds similar to the noise which comes from the auditorium when scenery is being removed. Hats off to a beautiful but smart goalie and also our red-headed half-back Holmsev. All these things added together helped to spread the sunny spirit throughout the squad. Incidentally, nine out of the twelve games played were tied or won. Extra! Ruthie had the brilliant idea that the hockey girls should have a banquet at Howard Johnson’s in Weymouth. Highlights of the Banquet Glady — as Major Boles Miss Summerville’s speech in French Lil’s song — three lines Flossie’s prize — Two lumps of sugar Louie’s piano solo — “Treasure Island” in the Key of C with both hands Sally’s surprise voice Lulla and Bunny — as “jitterbugs” Dottle’s sore toe Eileen — giving every one the “gong” Grade’s — tap dance ■{ 13

Cross Country PAUL LAWRENCE B RAINTREE ' S hill and dalers completed a successful season this year, winning all but two of its seven meets. Although not large in number, seven men to be exact, the Braintree squad was one of the best balanced teams that the high school has produced in years. Diz Davis, Tommy Robinson, Captain Boo Morcom, and Tom Huleatt usually led the Braintree pack home, very often in a tie for first place. Captain Boo Morcom proved to be an inspiring leader, and his words ot encouragement helped to build the cooperative spirit that continued throughout ' the season. Diz Davis was a consistent winner, and could be counted on every time to give an excellent performance of good running. The same can be said of Tommy Robinson, who with Davis, ran side by side and finished that way quite often. Tom Huleatt, the sophomore representative on the team, did creditable work and can be depended upon to be a real threat to Braintree’s opponents next year. Ed. St. Andre, Kenneth Goebel, and Bob Allen, the other members of the squad, all figured in Braintree’s victories and should certainly be mentioned for their share in making the 1938 Cross Country Team one of the best on the South Shore. i 12
