STUDENT COUNCIL John Leva, President Sponsors Edna M. Parker Harrison W. Jordan Braintree High’s Student Council started off on the right foot this year by removing a sizable deficit and building up a rather handsome treas- ury. Due to the favorable treasury balance the council was able to send representatives to the Eastern Divi- tion of the Massachusetts Student Councils conferences where a wealth of information was obtained. This in- formation has been very influential in the various activities of the council. The Student Council is very grateful for the support and enthusiasm shown by the cheerleaders in supporting the council sponsored dances and othei activities. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Mae L. Lindsay, Director Ralph N. Annis The Boys’ Glee Club, under the direc- tion of Miss Mae Lindsay, accom- panied by Gail Osthagen, participated in many outside engagements at the Republican Women’s Club of Brain- tree, P.T.A., and Fathers and Sons’ Night. They broadcast frequently over WJDA on “The Braintree Schools on the Air.” On December 21. the boys sang Christmas carols at the Blue Hill Rockery. The Glee Club formed the male chorus of this year’s fine operetta “A Waltz Dream.” They enjoyed singing at the May Music Festival and the State Music Festival. Freshman boys were well represented in this year’s club. GIRLS ' CHOIR Mae L. Lindsay, Director Gloria Marockino The Braintree High School Girls’ Choir, directed by Miss Mae Lindsay and accompanied by Helen Ulvila, concluded a very successful year. Since all but six of the members grad- uated with last year’s senior class, there were many places Idled by new girls. During the Christmas season many concerts were given in various churches around greater Boston and the South Shore. The girls gave special programs at the Norfolk County Hos- pital, the rockery of the Blue Hill Cemetery, and they made a radio broadcast over station WJDA. After Christmas additional concerts were given and also another radio broad- cast. t m

Toolin, Coach Assistant , William Trainor Spike Pollock Coach Paul Toolin closed another im- pressive season with wins over Quincy, Weymouth, and Thayer, being de- feated by North Quincy only. In the Weymouth Interscholastic meet, Braintree finished second out of the 1 1 schools competing. At the State Meet held at White Stadium. Boston, Braintree finished fifth with Hugh Huleatt breaking Alan Carlsen’s State Meet record, running the mile in t minutes 37.9 seconds. Hugh Huleatt and Fred Bickford set new individual tiack records in the mile and shot- put, respectively. Coach Toolin’s hopes for the “51” season seem bright with nine letter-men returning. BASEBALL ’50 John Crowell, Coach Assistant. Robert Bruce Spike Pollock Braintree High School’s new varsity Coach John Crowell finished the sea- son with an impressive record of 8 wins and 5 losses. The highlights of the season were wins over Brockton and Weymouth, two of the South Shore’s finest. In the Brockton game Captain Bob Lucas struck out 15 oppo- nents. As coach of baseball Mr. Crowell introduced the idea of fall practice which gives the coach a chance to stress fundamentals and to look over candidates more thoroughly than in the crowded spring practice. Pros- pects look bright for the “51” season with 6 regulars returning. 1 ' HP ' 1 Mb r ' f yM GIRLS’ TENNIS ’50 Alice E. Daughraty, Coach Helen (Jlvila Practice was in full swing last spring on the courts of B.H.S. for Miss Daughraty ’s tennis “seven.” This drilling showed its purpose at the end of the season because the girls won four out of their seven matches. The racket flashing girls of 1950 were Muriel Norris, Elizabeth Gage, Adele Newman, Elizabeth Goulding, Nancy Allen, Mildred Morgan, and Gertrude Fraser. Captain Muriel Norris led her teammates to victory on the courts of Wellesley, Norwood, and twice at Scituate. The girls were defeated by their traditional rivals in hockey and softball, North Flastoii and Hingham. We hope that next year’s team can par or even better this record.
