What ' s that cloud of dust in back of the Hollis School? What ' til it rises and we ' ll see. Well what do you know — it ' s the hockey field (dust bowl) and on it are Miss D end her Dusty Dolls. Quite a flashy crew denned in their blue wermies! This year they ' re headed by the unexcel- led wing and captain Val Norris, whe scored most of their gcals. The Dusty Dolls finished the season with a 6-2-1 record. Their greatest (and easiest) triumph cf the year was over the Cross Country boys — too bad, fellows. We must all remember the story of Ca- sey at the Bat. He struck out. The Ca- sey ettes of Wamptown hardly ever strike out, so Casey hasn ' t got anything on us. Under the marvelous coaching of Auntie Alice Daughraty the girls came up with a tremendous season. Besides Miss D ' s coaching we received some assistance from the track boys. The team was great- ly aided by Judy Johnson and Nancy Pal- mer as our future Mel Parnells, Shirley Lindgren as our next Billy Goodman, and Mai Richardson and Laura MacDougall as Jimmy Piersall and Teddy Williams.

No, the Russians weren ' t coming. That noise was just Mr. Abruzzese and his boys doing a little target practice. The Rifle Club, a member of the National Rifle Association, held numerous postal match- es against various schools throughout the country. Several shoulder-to-shoulder matches were held with surrounding schools. Kenneth Simonson was presi- dent of the club, and also one of the best shots. The other officers included Henry Daley, vice president, Roland Garland, secretary, Steven Mitchell, treasurer, and Bob Lovett, executive officer. There were about twenty-five boys on the team.

HERGET ' S HOOPSTERS The highly talented Wamps had a most successful season considering the very rough schedule they played. The veter- an-studded team which won only two the previous season came back in a blaze of glory and swept their way into the 1954 Tech Tourney. Led by their very able co-captains Don Mclnnis and Roger Ol- son, the team played consistently fine ball. Some outstanding individuals on the team were sharpshooter Bob O ' Leary and such fancy ball-handlers as Jim Girouard, Don Lang, and Jack Gorman. Don Kidder, Bob Lynch, and Glenn Thompson, help- ing out in tight situations, left little to be desired. SHARP SHOOTING WAMPETTES Swish — swish. There go the sharp- shooting Wampettes, who sink baskets from almost any spot on the court. This year ' s squad was a well balanced one. There were really no outstanding players — all were almost on an equal par. The co-captains of the team were Lee Turn- er the top guard and Kilroy. This sea- son the squad met such teams as Hing- ham, Randolph, Holbrook, North Easton, Thayer Academy, Rockland, and Nor- wood. Although the schedule was rough, they finished with a winning season be- cause they portrayed a wonderful team spirit such as is prevalent in all B. H. S. teams this year. T i«
