.gylzorff E ore lmififnfww WT held our Senior Prom. It was decided to hold it early to avoid the big snow storms of jan- uary and February tthey never did come! J. There were shouts of How can I raise the money just before Christmas? , but apparently most of the seniors managed somehow, for the prom was well attended and most successful. A new wrinkle was the selecting of a typical high school couple as King and Queen of the Prom. Barbara Allegra persuaded a professional model to make the selectionsg her choice was John O'Brien and Anna May Defienedictis. Here's How We Looked: Upper and lower left are views of the Grand March.

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.

Hivlteox, General lVlanaliPI'- The Dedham High hockey team of 1948-1949, losing six games, tying two, and winning only two, finished in seventh place in the Eastern Massachu- setts Hockey League-one of the few times it has finished out of the first four. Dedham was extremely unlucky during the whole season. There was a new rink, but the weather stayed warm. Captain Francis O'Brien was injured in the Lexington game and was sidelined for the next two. Victories almost in Dedhams grasp were snatched away, as in the case of Brook- line's tie-breaking goal with only 15 seconds to go. The season opened December 3 against Malden, which had won 25 straight league games. O'Brien performed the hat trick, scoring three goals, to lead Dedham to a -4-l victory. Against Brookline, Ninny and Ronnie Sislane both scored, but it was in a losing cause, as, al- though outskated and outplayed, Brookline tallied to win 5-2. In the next game, with 12 players swinging and shoving in a third-period melee, Dedham managed to beat Natick 3-l. Probably the hardest played game of the year was the one with Hudson, Christmas night. Ded- ham was without the services of two of its regu- l16l lars, but Dave Driscoll came through with a lone tally in the second period to give Dedham a l-1 tie. Defenseman Howie Lambert did an excellent job filling in as a forward in this game. Although he didn't flash the light so often, Bob MacNevin deserves a lot of credit for the way he covered Natick's high-scoring Dick Clasby. After beating Natick 5-l, Dedham next tied them 1-1, and in neither of these games did Clasby score- this in spite of the fact that Clasby was high man in the league. Others on the team who looked good were Frank Connolly, next year's captain, john Winters, who played defense notablyg joe Black, who got that breath-taking goal in the Malden game, and Peter Prevett, who'll be a veteran next year. Jan Sikora and Frank Dietzel combined to do a good goal- tending job, and Peter Kipp and his assistant, jim Killion, filled the managerial positions commend- ably. Four players were selected for the Esmass All- Star games: Capt. O'Brien, Bob MacNevin, Howie Lambert, and Frank Connolly. During most of the games the Dedham boys played together. The Esmass team beat the Bay State All-Stars 5-1, but lost to the G.B.I. All-Stars 5-0.
