The AR00 and GR Y-FIHDTB ll. The maroon and gray opened at Russell Field, Cambridge, in a jamboree, mastering St. Mary's of Brookline easily 6-0. Bob MacNevin was the first to score for Dedham in '48 Next D.H.S. rolled through St. Mary's of Wtiltliam 25-7. On the week following Wzitertown tied our boys 6-6 in a hard- fought battle of two good lines featured by the defensive work of Rawding and Depari. Unbeaten North Quincy was next to fall to on- rushing Dedham, 13-0. York's pass interceptions coupled with O'Brien's plunging proved too much for the city boys. Lady Luck frowned and Framing- ham had the honor of being the first to beat us as they emerged a 6-0 victor. Hyde Park felt fully the impact of an aroused Dedham team, losing 24-0. MacNevin, York and O'Brien all scored from way out as long runs were the rule of the day. Our 2-0 win over Malden Catholic provided the upset of the season, turning out to be the only loss suffered by the Class B Champions. A smart, alert Dedham team showing a superior attack took charge right at the start. Late in the game Bob Yanni broke through to pin Den Alves, Malden quar- ter, behind his goal for the only score. York, O'Brien and MacNevin, under the direction of Donelan, starred in the backfield, while in the line Pete Prevett was immense as were guards Condon and Yanni, tackles Capone and McCarthy, and ends Hyland and Driscoll. Weymoutli was just too big, too fast, too deep, and just too, too, leaving us a 20-0 setback. Rindge Tech, on their own mire and sawdust, managed to hold off a muddy but determined Dedham team, 0-0. Then came Norwood, or Gulla and Co. Cap- tain Tom York, playing on an injured ankle, set up the Hrst touchdown and stopped Gulla when he was long gone to anyone but Tom. Francis O'Brien, coming back from an injury also, made his last game his best, scoring all three of Dedham's touch- downs and doing some standout defensive work. Peter Prevett again walked off with all defensive honors, personally conducting Mr. Gulla to the turf numerous times. A slick hand-off from Fitzhenry resulted in the first T.D. O'Brien set up the second himself with a pass to Donelang the third and last came from repeated offtackle plunges. The final score, 18-13, ended an excellent season of six wins, two ties, and two losses. And, of course, this is the time to mention the Cheerleaders, who did a wonderful job of cheer- ing the football and basketball teams to their victories. There were four seniors on the Cheer Team, Captain Nancy Kennedy, Teresa Fitzhenry, Pris- cilla Shelley and Marie Motte. Along with these were three junior girls, Patricia Moloney, Nancy Motte and Grace Waldron. To complete the team was sophomore Jessie Allan. We must also men- tion junior substitute jean Yonker, who did a splendid job of filling in when the regulars were OUT. During the year, our cheerleaders were invited to many different schools to represent Dedham High at the Cheer Club Dances. :ui CHEER LEADERS Marie Motte, Jessie Allan, Grace Waldron, 'I' e 1' e s a Fitzhenry, Nancy Kennedy, Patricia Ma- loney, Priscilla Shelley, Nancy Molte.
