The enrollment at that time was slightly over five hundred. September, 19;52, brought the problem of the accommodation of approximately seven hundred and fifty pupils in a building planned for a maximum of about seven hundred. A two-platoon system was inaugurated with seniors, juniors, and sophomores in attendance from 8;()()-12;. ' )(); and freshmen from 1 :0()-. ' S :()() p.m. (In passing let it he said that the only ad antage of such a plan is the maximum use of a building). The extended period of depression starting in the late twenties gave an added boost to the phenomenal growth in secondary school enrollments everywhere. In communities where private schools existed, the increased enrollment in the public schools was especially notable due to the decreased earning power of the parents of potential private school pupils. ,lohs were scarce and when available were needed by adults, leaving nothing much for teen-agers except enrollment in high school. Our numbers rose to a figure of approximately eleven hundred and seventy-five students just before World War II. The outbreak of World War II overnight created a demand for the services of hoys seventeen years or older as prospective cannon fodder or to take the place on jobs of older men who were called into the service. As a result, our number dropjred about two hundred to a figure under nine hundred total. The continual annual entrance of small eighth grades has kept the figures at about that point. This lluctnation in niimhers was accompanied by switches from commercial programs to college preparation, to general programs, and hack again to college prep. Only in the past two years has the demand for college accommodations by ex-servicemen been satisfied to the extent that even the well qualified high school graduate could he assured of admission to any college to say nothing of the college of his first choice. -As the above problem was about to solve itself, the Korean fiasco reared its ugly head. Again our secondary school hoys were faced with the possibility of service in a war w Inch is not a w ar. according to our President, and in a location the climate of w hich was beyond the knowledge of the armed service authorities, and in a cause which nobody seems to under- stand. Add to this the spectacle of inefficiency, graft, and corruption in high places, and there is little wonder that onr high school pupils may show a lessening of moral stamina and lack of appreciation r)f the opportunities, and a realization of the value of hmnan life. As family life has deteriorated, parental interest in and control of children has lessened and ethical standaids have been lowered. It is very easy for teen-agers to take the attitude hat do 1 get out of it. ” Programs of studies have been altered to meet the needs, wishes, and abilities of the ever increasing quota of secondary school pupils that are continually coming in. Inclusion or expansion of various extra-curricular activities have everywhere been the rule in an effort to help pupils develop the character traits and habits that make for good citizenship, hut this is not enough! It is desirable that our secondary school products should be not only- good, hut good for something; and the satisfactory completion of at least a minimum of tasks is a must in the development of their know-how and willingness to work. No diploma should he awarded on any other basis. A fair comparison between the average Braintree High School hoy of today with the one of twenty-five years ago is that he is less concerned with standing well in his class, is less w illing to work either mentally or physically, is either more open in his deviations from the straight and narrow way, or less concerned with the public’s attitude toward his failings. He very definitely excels in leadership, initiative, and similar personality traits. He is either more brazen, or more honest, depending on his viewpoint. ' In any case, he belongs to one of the finest groups of teen-agers anywhere. Priticiptil Administration James L. Jordan, Principal Raymond L. Strangford, Sub- Master Kathleen W.

Jdie first such opportunity is the Braintree High School cpiarterly magazine. In 1921 it was only fitting at “Wamptown High School” that there should he a student publication called The IVampatuck. Miss Elizabeth Batridge founded this magazine and acted as faculty adviser. Miss Avis Walsh, followed by Miss Helen Donovan, served as faculty advisers until 1931. Miss Constance F. Steelier has served as faculty adviser for The Wampatiick since 1931 and as adviser to The Yearbook since its founding in 1935. In this year the fourth issue of the (piarterly became the high school annual. This (juarterly magazine provides a means for the publication of stories, poems, news features, and sports events written by the pupils. The Yearbook and The UPmpatiick provide a source for student group experience in the organization, gathering, and preparing of news and in the solicitation of advertising from local merchants. As a result of journalistic experience obtained on the Braintree lligh School publications, many students have earned places on the stalfs of their college annuals. Several trophies have been awarded to The Wampatuck in recognition of excellent writing done by staff members: 1921-5 Best All Bound School Paper; 1931 best school magazine; 1935-6 — best school magazine; 1936-7 — first prize for best school magazine; 1937-8 — First Award for best yearbook class C; 1938-9 — Honorable Mention as runner up for best school magazine; 1910-11 — First Award for best yearbook; 1912 — special art award; 1913 — best literary magazine; 1917-8 — Honorable Mention as runner up for best school magazine; 1918 — best sports story and best illustration; 1919 — best poem and best editorial; 1951 best poem. Another pupil opportunity is the relatively new organization at Biaintree High School, the Student Council. This student body was encouraged by several members of the faculty, while final plans were formulated in 1918 under the direction of Mr. William F]. Trainor, then a member ol ' the social studies department. For the past five years the Student Council has been presided over by Lennart Bingfpiist ' 18, Eric Maslen ' 19, Bobert Brooks ' 50, John Leva ' 51, and Bichard Brooks ' 52. Two faculty advisers are elected for a two-year period to meet with the Council and give minor recommendations and suggestions. Mr. Trainor served as adviser in ' 18, Mr. Trainor and Miss Marion Billings in ' 19, Miss Bil ' ings and Mr. Harrison Jordan in ' 50, Mr. Jordan and Miss F]dna Parker in ' 51 and Miss Parker and Mr. Arigo LaTanzi in ' 52. Council members present student problems to the principal and faculty for the purpose of solving them and of bringing a closer understanding between the two groups. W orlhw Idle projects have been conducted for student and school benefit. Council members meet with home room representatives once a month to discuss current problems. The Student Council and the faculty have demonstrated continually the democratic principle of (o-operation. The Library Staff of Braintree High School is one of the im{)ortant organizations which receives very little publicity. The staff consists of pupils who are volunteers willing to devote their free periods to pi ' il ' orm such tasks as stamping current magazines, filing catalogue cards, charging and discharging books, taking attendance of study groups, and assisting in many routine duties. The Library Staff has existed at Braintree for twenty-five years under the supervision of Miss Miriam Marsh and since 1928 under the present librarian. Miss Buth P. Strout. The staffs receive no academic credit toward graduation. (iuidance counseling began at Braintree High School in the depths of tlie depression in 1932 when students were groping for assistance in finding odd jobs. Tbe purpose for counseling is aiding a student to plan for, and succeed in, a course leading to a life ' s work. Tests and ratings came into use to discover aptitudes, interests, and personalities. The counselors ' function is to aid in this process, but tbe decision in every case is left to the pupil. This function of “guiding” rather than advising or directing is the chief merit of the art. The guidance department has grown from a fragmentary object to the 1952 plan under which each student obtains a scientific interview based on all available data. The guidance personnel include: director, Mr. (I. inton Jones; secretary, Mrs. Diane Bobertson; Dean of (lirls. Miss Buth Strout, counsellors: Mr. Edward Oakman, Miss Marion Billings, Miss orma WOlf, Mrs. Shirley Inman, and Mr. Harrison Jordan. I The list of aciideinie subjects offered at Braintree High School is sufficiently wide and varied so that every student at any level of learning can find some field of interest. The English ])rograin of study is fashioned on a three level basis to accommodate the college, non-college, and remedial grou])s with two electives in speech and dramatics. . t each level pupils have a wide choice of cour.scs in literature, busine.s.s English, remedial work, comi)osition, free reading, journalism, and grammar review. All courses strive to broaden pu])il interest and a])preciation ; to develop the habit of clear orderly thinking; to teach correct and effective u-sage in written and oral composition; and to give an oj)j)ortunity for creative expression in the various literary fields. The courses in the Social Studies group follow a twofold pattern; that of studying and understanding the great .social aiul ])olitical movements of the past in both United States and World history; and that of understanding our local government and its basic political, economic, and social ])roblems. The.se cour.ses tend to give pupils a knowledge of the cau.ses of pre.sent conditions with emphasis u{)on the causes and results of the two world wars, and a thorough understanding of the es.sentials of I’nited States history. The Science department covers many fields and gives the student an essential back- ground for college work in the sciences. The college cour.ses in physics, biology, and chemistry are .set up for college preparatory ])U])il.s who desire a background of laws of the sciences. The general cour.ses in the .sciences are exploratory and are intended to develop .scientific minds and interests and their effect on our everyday life and environ- ment. Mathematics is a neces.sary jjortion of many other studies in high school. There are two ty])es of mathematics; one for the college preparatory student, and one for the student who will u.se his mathematical background in the fields of the industrial arts and busine.ss. Mathematics not oidy teaches the fundamental skills of working with numbers, but also the recognition of everyday rea.soinng. High .school mathematics gives the pupil a good foundation in elementary mathematics. The courses .set up in the Busine.ss department are designed to familiarize the pupil with the fundamental ])rinci])le.s of business. If followed all through high .school, these cour.ses teach enough skill and technicpie to establish a ])U])il in various business offices, ( ' ourses jirovide training in all ])ha.se.s of business, commercial geograj)hy, and business law, thereby providing ])uj)ils with a study of the economic world and its effect on our lives. All girls should be interested in the Home Economics. In this department girls are trained in home-making and its related subjects. The girls study food and clothing and all subjects concerned with the establishment and function of a home. The course may be taken by a girl for her own per.sonal u.se or for a basis in consumer buying. The Art department offers cour.ses for pupils interested in art as a background for industrial work or for pu])ils interested in interior decorating, fashion designing, and other related subjects. A study of lettering, dimensions, color, and the fundamentals of design with problems designed to fit everyday living is made by the ])upil. The courses in art are cpiite advanced and will furnisli a ])upil with an excellent foundation in art. Industrial Arts helps many students get started in a field which they later make their life’s work. Pupils taking the shop course also take related courses. Boys taking the major shop course s])end one-third of a year in each of three different shops in their freshman and sophomore years. This gives them experience in all six sho])s in two years. Then in their junior and .senior years they may elect the shop subjects they wish to specialize in for these years. (’ourses in Erench, Latin, and S])ani.sh are offered the student at B.H.S. The.se cour.ses aim to te.ich ])upils a fundamental vocabulary and the necessary basic grammar to enable them to read, write, s])eak, and understand these languages. The study of the.se languages is accom])lished through pictures, maps, radio, records, and songs. The study of foreign languiges hel])s the ])U])il to understand the cidture and customs of other peoples. Braintree High School offers a very comjdete music program. This program consists of both vocal and instrumental work, with a related course in the art of writing music. A course in music a])preciation is offered ])upils who wish to study and understand the works of great masters like T.schaikowsky, Bizet, and (Irieg. There is also choir and glee clubs for j)upils who like vocal work. The choir is a highly selective group but any- one may join the glee club. . 11 in all, there is much to interest the ])upils in their high .school. I t-MiRH t)IS •! Lois Lricson Janet Williams Braintree in ' ll! School otl ' ers nianv social activities in which pupils may participate and thereby fiain prestige, valuable experience and trainiiifj, as well as I ' un and a ood time. Tlie vocal music ‘jroups, organized under the direction of Miss Mae Lindsay, comprise the (iirls’ Choir and the Boys’ Glee Club. The (Jills’ Choir was first organized in lhi;5 with eighteen singers, an accompanist, and a director. The singers in the choir were highly selected and tests were given to determine membership. Their first concert, which was a great succe.ss, was given at the W Omen’s Be{)ublican Club in Boston. The Boys’ (ilee Club, started in 1938 by Miss Lindsay, consisted of eight boys; now, the memlxuship comprises thirty voices. One great step in the development of ' this club was the con- tribidion of money Tor the purchase of jackets. This money was donated to the boys by the Botarians and the Parent Teachers’ Association, two of the many great organizations of Braintree. Braintree High’s instrumental groups include the band and the orchestra. The first orchestra in the new high school building was assembled by .Miss Ingrid Eckman. This group was later taken over in 1933 by Mr. Frederick Lewis and was the first orchestra to play in the new high school. Mr. Lewis led his group until 1935 when he suddenly passed away. The ensemble was then taken over by its preseid-day leader, Mr. Arthur P. Ilauck. It was then used solely for football games and later given the name “band.” Aboid 1936 an orchestra was formed. Toward the latter part of 1936 a national trend occurred which led to the unpopularity of the stringed instruments. At the beginning of the next year, the stringed instruments became popular and once again the “strings” were in swing and have remaiiK ' d at the top in popularity. Although the band has been very popular, it seems that the orchestra w ill alw ays predominate. This orchestra, w Inch has played before many an audience, has had nothing but an excellent or superior rating among music groups in the .Ma.ssachusetts State Festival. In 1937 it played in a Music Festival before two hundred entertainers, both vocal and instrumental. In 1950 the Braintree High Orchestra played before a total of eight thousand. These performance ' s were outstanding. Braintree High has had, during its existence, many wonderful and interesting entertainers, some of w horn have become great musicians. ot only have some of these members become band and orchestra leaclers, but even directors of music. There have been eight band members who, in the years after graduation, have become permaneid music directors in nearby communities. Many others have become players in their college bands and a few have become outstanding players in the service bands. A few have even gone so far as to play in distinguished symphonies all over the world. ot only is it a wonderfni experience to be able to play and take part in the field of music, but it also gives credit toward college entrance. The main object of music within the school is not to make professional players of the participants but to instill an appreciation of good music, spread harmony and give pleasure in everyday life. The idea of having the senior class sponsor a yearbook dance to helf) raise money for additional feature })ages in the “annual” was started by the Class of 1950 under the sponsorship of Miss Hazel Summerville and Mr. Arigo LaTanzi. The outcome of the dance was very })rofitable, and the proceeds helped to defray expenses. The Classes of 1951 and 1952 have followed likewise. Among the gayest of stage all’airs presented at Braintree High School are the operetta, the oral Fbiglish play and the senior show. The senior show was first organized in 1930 in (lie I ' orin of a ininstrel show which proved to be very successful. This type of per- forniance was fjiven until 19:58 when the variety, or musical, came into being at the suggestion of Miss Almeda alker, sponsor of the Class of 1938. From that time on the shows have varied. The seniors have produced many plays, musicals and varieties that have proved very successful. The oral English play commenced in the late twenties. The cast of the play was carefully selected from the members of the speech classes through try-outs. Under the helpful direction of the speech teachers past and present. Miss Katherine Hearn, Mr. .lohn Ferrett and Miss Barbara Hazel, the oral English plays have alw ays been successful productions. For many years the operetta has been sponsored by the junior class. The first one {iroduced at Braintree High School in 1927 was under the leadership of Miss Ingrid Eck- man. Some years later .Miss Carol Flint acted as musical director for the operetta. Miss Mae Lindsay took over in 1938 and is still continuing to stage an excellent production each year. In the production of the operettas the junior class sponsors, in collaboration with the directors of vocal and instrumental music, contribute their talents toward making them the best possible. ' Phe French Club, previously formed in the old building under the sponsorship of Miss .lose[)hine Keany, has been c[uite an active group in Braintree High School since 1927. In the beginning the students published a French bulletin containing the news of past and coming events. From 1927 to 1932 the PTeiich Club held their meetings on Thursday once a month during the seventh period when there was a free period for activities. hen, in 1932, the two se.ssion system came into being, the French Club had their meetings after school. During the gatherings many games were played and the conversation w as in French. There w as a big Christmas party held each year. This w as the only meeting of the year at which refreshments were served. As the years went on refreshments played a protninent part. Up until the last three years the club has had no special get-together or special party outside of school. It was in 1948 that the French (dub had their first outing. Under the able leadership of Miss Mildred Biehards, the expedition was a great success. This practice has been continued since 1948 and is made possible by the payment of dues. One of the great social events so popular in the years preceding 1933 was the annual school picnic in which all four classes took part. Eaeh member paid his own expenses and buses were hired for transportation. The chaperones for this picnic were usually class sponsors or any faculty members who were free for the day. These picnics lasted for (piite some time until (he students began to lose interest. The event later evolved into a picnic for seniors only, but later all lost interest and the outing was discontinued. The .lunior Bed Cross Chapter in Braintree High School was organized in 1947 on a j)urely voluntary membership under the sponsorship of Miss Buth Strout. This club first started with a collection of money, the proceeds of w Inch went to the needy children of our country and the helpless and hungry children of India. Another great activity of the .lunior Bed Cross of Braintree High School is the making of favors for the various holidays of the year for the veterans in the hospitals. The first .lunior Prom, sponsored by the Class of 1929, started the custom for a yi ' arly formal that has been in existence dow n to the present. Judging by its popularity and attendance, it will no doubt be a highlight for many years to come.

It was necessary for the group to jiractice every morning to prepare for their many engagements which included the Braintree Women’s Bepublican Club. I ' he Donald Boss P.T.-N.. and The Braintree Catholic Women ' s Club. The boys also formed the male chorus for the operetta and participated in the two spring music festivals. (;IKLS ' CHOIB .Mae L.

Once a month a re()ort was given to the club hy the council members; Norma George, sophomore; Beverly Everett, junior; and Joan Strangford. senior. These members attended a council meeting each month at the Bed Cross Headquarters in Boston. There they exchanged ideas with other members from surrounding tow ns. From these councils much was learned about the .American Junior Bed Cross and its activities. A ALTZ DREAM Mae L. Lindsay Mildred B.

Richards Harrison W. Jordan Sponsors Lorraine lamele On the eve of May 11, 1951, the Junior Prom of the Class of 1952 was held at the Braintree High Gyrnnasiuni. finder the able guidance of Miss Mildred R. Richards, class sponsor, Lorraine lamele, chaiiinan of decorations, and her assistants, staged a summer of delight. J’he theme was ha,sed on “Some Enchanted Evening.” The walls of the gym were gaily decorated with palm tree islands, boats shadowed in the distance, and fish leaj)ing from shining waves. Butterflies fluttered overhead midst brightly colored streamers. Smooth music was furnished by Ned Barry and his orchestra. TRAIN OF THOUGHTS Patricia McMahon, Chairman On Fel)ruary 7 the Senior Class pre- sented the 1952 production (jf the senior show. The plot of this play centered around a timid, scholarly gentleman who imagined episodes from the lives r)f his fellow passengers on the Coney Island Subway. Divided into three acts, the show exhibited some unusual and varied senior talent. Five scenes depicted a vivid cross- section of life w hich consi.sted mainly of: the stout lady who was attractive in her day, the negro with the flashing smile singing “Mammy,” the cowboy from a dude ranch in ' fexas, the two handsotne sailors who brought us inhj the “Surf Room,” and the Chinese laundryman and his little daughter who introduced us to the grand celebra- tion in China. These scenes were colorful and contained many catchy tunes. Some interesting specialty acts were the quartet which sang “Dry Bones,” the roller skaters, and the beautiful trumpet .solos. One of the most pleasant results of the show was the enjoyment which the seniors re- ceived from j)resenting it. FRENCH CLUB Mildred R. Richards, Sponsor Frances Matheson 1 his year the French Club upheld the standards of previous clubs by pro- viding both entertainment and an additional knowledge of French for students of Fre nch. The oflicers were: Allan iden. President; John McLeod, ice President; L(jrraine Wikhmd, Secretary; and William Horton, Trea- surer. The club studied many famous Frenchmen in the fields of music and literature, and increased their enjoy- ment by listening to records and reports. Highlights of the more social side of the club were the Christmas party and the annual picnic. Refresh- ments were served at the close of every meeting. Allan Viden Braintree High Sehool has many forms of athletie aetivities in whieh its students may partieijiate. The various tyi)es of reereation ])rovide healthful enjoyment for every- one and are valuable in the training of future generations. Football at B.H.S. has improved greatly sinee the first years, and it owes its present high standard to the exeellent work done by the eoaehes. When the new Braintree High opened its doors for its first year in 19 ' ' 27, Harold Zartow held the reins of the football scpiad. He was sueeeeded in 1928 by Alton Berry. In 1981 Vinal flood took over the eoaehing ])Osition but was re])laeed by Walter “Sugar” Kane in 19,84. In 198.5 Bill Erieson was the Wamp eaptain and ])roved to be one of the most ver.satile ])layers ever to wear the spangles of the am])s. “Bud” John.son was an outstanding (piarterbaek in 1987 and Jim Bewley eaptained the 1989 team to a good .season. The 1940 scpiad had an exeellent reeord of five wins, two losses, and one tie, and the 1942 team achieved another reeord as they ended the .season with four wins, two losses, and two ties, ( ' oaeh Hawkes had a fairly sueees.sful .season in 1944 as the Wamjjmen rang up five wins against four defeats. Stan Laski became eoaeh in 194.5 and was succeeded by Arigo LaTanzi in 1947. The 1949 season repre.sented the first winning .sea.son in three years as the team aehieved a .six and four record, and B.H.S. had its first undefeated team in the history of the .school in 1950. In 19.51 the team fiiushed with an excellent record of six wins and four defeats. Braintree High has become known for their sen.satiomd cross-country scpiads. Ray ( ' hapman coached the long-winded runners from 1927 to 1988; in 1984 Jack Morcom, a student and an excellent track man at B.H.S., became coach. Aldo (liie.sa took over the ])osition in 1985 and remained there until 1941. In 1985 the scpiad achieved a good record, winning seven out of nine meets. Bill Morcom cajitained the 1986 team and was followed by Bill Reed in 1987. Diz Davis, an excellent all-round athlete at B.H.S., became cajitain in 1989 and led the team to a five win, three loss record. In 1940 the scjuad finish ed with six wins and no defeats. An excellent sea.sonal record was also com- jileted in 1942 when Alton Berry bec-ame coach. Baul Toolin resumed his coaching jiostition in 1948, and his team went undefeated. Sparked by Hugh Huleatt and Alan Carlson, the scpiad won the South Shore and State (Championships. Huleatt led the team in 1949 to the South Shore Championshi]) and an undefeated season in 1950. In 1951, arren Harding paced the scpiad to another South Shore C’hampionship and the team finished .second in the State meet. Field Hockey was directed by Helen Brown in 1927 and 1928 and has been under the cajiable leadership of Alice Daughraty since 1929. It is the highlight of the fall sports for the girls, and many succ-e.s.sful .seasons have bc en rung up. The Rifle Team has been under the very expert supervision of James L. Jordan, Brincipal, since 1928. The team is a .self-suipiorting organiz ation and is a member of the National Rifle Association in Washington, I). C. In 1940 Braintree won the ( ' lass “B” national chain jiionship . Cirls’ Basketball has become very jiojnilar at B.H.S., and the teams have had the guided supervision of Helen Brown during 1927 and 1928 and Alice Daughraty from 1929 to 1952. From 1982 to 1988, competition with other high .schools became imjiossible clue to the two-.session plan adopted at B.H.S. But there were intra -mural games between home rooms, and many girls participated. There have been many excellent basketball teams to wear the colors of Blue and White, and Braintree is now famous for its consistent winners in ( ' lass B c-ompetition. Ray ( ' hapman coached the first Waiii]) hoojisters, and he did an excellent job. In 1982 basketball was omitted because of the two-.session i)lan. When basketball was brought back to B.H.S. in 1988, ( ' oach Bill Erwin turned out an excellent five led by ( ' ajdain Diz Davis. In 1940 the team achieved an eleven and three record and defeated all its opponents in the Tech Tourney to become the ( ' la.ss B champions in Eastern Mas.sa- clui.setts. Rebuilding was acc-entuated in 1941, and it jjaid off when ( ' aptain Hugh Opie led the team to a sueees.sful .sea.son in 1942. In 1944 Braintree had a good .sea.son and defeated Belmont to win the Tech Tourney, but Erwin rates the 194.5 team as his best. Led by Co-captains Bob Bates, “Scud” Beetle, and Bill Gorman, this squad also defeated Belmont in the finale of the Tech Tourney to become once again the champs of Eastern Massachusetts. Coach Erwin had another good club in ’46; but Rockland, who had defeated the AVamps twice during the season, beat B.H.S. in the sern-finals of the Tech Tourney, 32 to 28. Fran Mear arrived on the scene in 1947 and coached the Wamps to successful seasons in ’47 and ’48. Rus Johnston took over the duties in 1951. Sam Lawrence was the first baseball coach at the new Braintree High School, and he held this post until 1938. In 1934 Pat Cronin captained the team to a successful season, and first baseman Craig Paul’s heavy hitting in 1935 aided in establishing the prowess of B.ILS. baseball. From 1936 to 1938 the captains were Franny Rinaldi, Tommy Azzato, and Joe Moshella respectively. In 1911, with Herb Boardman doing the coaching, the B.H.S. baseball team wound up with a sensational record of fourteen wins and no losses and accepted an invitation to participate in the Eastern Massachusetts Baseball Tourney. They won the first two games but were defeated in the finals by Somerville. The 1942 season was marred by one loss to Quincy, and the team lost to Arlington in the semi-final of the Eastern Massachusetts Tourney. Coach Harold Hawkes’ Wampmen had an excellent season in 1911. They ended the year with ten wins and two defeats; and, par- ticipating in the Eastern Massachusetts Tourney, they were defeated by Newton in the first round. Bill Erwin took over the coaching duties in 1915; and the team had a seasonal record of six victories, five defeats, and one tie. Alton Perry coached the ’16 team and was succeeded in 1917 by Fran Mear. John Crowell became coach in 1950 and his first team had an impressive record of eight wins and five losses. The highi ' ght of spring sports at Braintree High is the track team, and many fine competitors have run for B.H.vS. Bay Chapman coached the track squad during the first years and was succeeded in 1931 by Walter Kane. Jack Morcom was captain of “Sugar” Kane’s first track squad, and he led the group to an impressive season. “Boo” Morcom, famous pole-vaulter, hit the B.H.S. spotlight in 1936 and shone here until 1937. The 1938 team had a three and one record in dual competition, and Bill Reed stood out in the mile. Dick Reed captained the 1939 team ; and in 1940, with Paul Toolin becoming head coach, the squad had a very successful season. Captain Bill Lavery led B.H.S. in 1911, and the 1912 seasonal record was four wins and one loss. During the war years, many of our excellent coaches were drawn into the conflict; and the track squad suffered the loss of Paul Toolin. But the men who carried on did a superb job, and much credit should be given. Bill Erwin handled the coaching duties in 1944, and the squad had a fairly successful season with captain Bill Aumen leading the way. Stan Laski coached the 1945 team and was followed in turn by Dave Ward and Paul Toolin, wh o returned in 1947 to guide the team to a fair record of two wins and three losses. In 1948, the W amps were undefeated and were a runner-up in Class C at the State Meet. B.H.S. won all its meets in 1949 and finished second to Brockton in the South Shore Meet. The 1950 season ended with a record of three wins and one defeat. In 1951 the team had an undefeated season, winning the South Shore championship and placing third in the State meet. Girls’ tennis really got underway in 1937; and the record compiled by that team, plus the impressive record of the 1938 girls, really proved that tennis was here to stay. Alice Daughraty has coached the girls with much skill and deserves a great deal of credit in turning out some fine tennis groups. Softball and Cheerleading have been under the capable direction of Alice Daughraty, and she has done an outstanding job. Softball is the bright spot for the girls in the spring, and their teams have completed many successful seasons. Braintree has always had the finest of cheerleaders to lead them in their cheers, and we should all be proud of them. Until 1911, coaches and faculty managers at B.H.S. were unpaid, and the job of faculty manager was handled by the principal and the coaches. From 1931 until 1931, Mr. Jones had the position of faculty manager and was succeeded by Mr. Chiesa, who held the position until 1910. Mr. Dysart was in charge until 1942 when Ervin Stuart took over the job. Since 1917, the duties of the faculty manager have been divided, Mr. illiam Foley in charge of game schedules, game details, and transportation; Mr. Edward Oakman as supervisor of equipment. FOOTBALL Arigo LaTaiizi, Coach Allan ideii d ' he 1951 l“o()tl)all team of Braintree iligli School com[)iled an excellent record, winning six and losing I ' oin’.

Daughraty, Coach Beverly Cassoli On the hockey field the girls had one of their most spirited seasons. They competed with outside schools, win- ning six, losing two, and tying two. I’he .Northeastern game was a rival one with strong competition, and proved to he very exciting Eiecause the B.fl..S. girls came from hehind after the half to win 3-2. To top off the season, the girls played the hoys’ Cl OSS Country team. The hoys afipeared on time and [irepared for t he kill; hut they were forlorn when the score remained 0-0. I ' he caiitain was Bita Magazii who spurred the Wamp girls to a successful season. KIFLK TKAM James L. Jordan.

Next year the top returnees will he two of the ace hatters. Klliot Whitten and Boh Piccini. and two of this year’s top three pitchers, Wally Olson and Rob ' I ' aylor. Highlights of the season were W hitten’s clutch hitting, Carr’s sudden burst of hitting, and Taylor’s last two games, which were his first two victor- ies in a varsity uniform in two years. TKACK ' 51 Paul . Toolin, Coach Allan iden Coach Paul I ' oolin closed the ’51 track campaign with an undefeated season in dual meets, beating such rivals as Quincy, North Quincy, Rockland, Thayer, and Weymouth.

The ’51 season was impressive for breaking school records: ,Iohn Slauson and John Leva, shortpnt; Hugh Huleatt. mile; Bob Blake, high jump. Coach Toolin can honestly say he completed his ' 51 season with about the most im- pressive team he has ever coached. GIRLS ' TENNIS ' 51 Alice K.

W e, the Class of 1952, in the month of September, the year 1918, ascended the steps of dear old Braintree High, wide-eyed and a little scared, but also very happy. If we had known all the wonderful things that were to happen to us in the next four years, we would have been even happier. After a few weeks of utter coufusioii and excitement, we settled down and took our places as Freshmen. Soon we proved our athletic ability by our splendid football, basketball, and baseball teams, and we also learned good sportsmanship. In 1919 we returned to B.II.S. as industrious members of the Sophomore Class. We busily set to work and elected the following class ollicers: Dick Brooks, president; John Slauson, vice-president; Chet Mattson, treasurer; and Sue Ciles, secretary. Our class sponsors. Miss Mildred Bichards and Mr. Harrison Jordan, certainly helped our class to be successful. W asn ' t it an hornor to be one of the first classes to use our wonderful new gym! We soon showed our school spirit by participating in and attending many school events. The next fall we were again welcomed by the ever faithful faculty — this year, as Juniors. Class olficers were elected and remained the same as during our sophomore year. W e ordered our class rings and could hardly wait for their arrival. Our Junior Prom was held in May at the Braintree High (iym. Everyone complimented the colorful decora- tions produced by the hard work of many Juniors. The operetta, “A Waltz Dream,” sponsored by our class, was very successful. We nearly burst with pride because of our undefeated football and cross country teams. We ' ll never forget our Senior year, the best as well as the fastest lleeing. We were very proud of our cheerleaders: Sue Ciles, Diane Leben, Bita Magazu, and Claire Delorey. We’ll always remember the touchdowns scored by our star fullback, John Slauson, at those exciting football games. Our senior show certainly turned out to be a huge success. It took a great deal of work but we will never forget the fun that went with it. It seems like only yesterday that we received our class pictures, and soon we were looking at our- selves ill the pages of our w onderful yearbook. W hat a busy month June, 1952, was for each of us! W e all ate too much at our baiupiet, and then came graduation. It made us sad to think that soon we would no longer be members of B.II.S. However, our spirits had lifted by the night of our heavenly Senior Beception. And so, w e departed from Brain- tree High, but not without treasured memories of four wonderful years. e 1952 We, the class of 1952, serenely existiufj in the thriving metropolis of Braintree and being of sound mind and body, do hereby proclaim our last will and testameid.
