uzif gefore acafion JUNIOR RED CROSS FRONT ROW Miss Margaret Boynton, faculty adviser, Jean Oberlantler, Estelle Comeau, Mary Donahue, Betty Delft-- lice. SECOND ROW s Barbara 'Fili- betts, Betty Dowd, Priscilla Shelley, Katherine Bussey, At Christmas came the busiest time of the year for Dedham Highs junior Red Cross members. With the 350 collected by the members in the home rooms last October and November, the group, under the direction of Miss Margaret Boynton, packed 15 Christmas boxes containing various use- ful articles such as soap, face cloths, thread, needles, pins, stockings, and also articles like pencils, cray- ons, paper, and rubber balls to make some European boy or girl a little happier. Estelle Comeau and jean Oberlander were Ded- ham High School's representatives to the Red Cross headquarters in Boston this year. They attended a few meetings where they heard interesting talks by various speakers and saw movies showing the Red Cross' many activities. Then they reported what they had seen to the Dedham chapter. , in I Last year comic books which are absolutely mba in the school, were collected from many of the student comic fans. Favors made up of gum, candy, cigarettes, and playing cards were sent to different veterans' hospitals in and around Boston. Because of the lack of money and members to aid in the support of the Dedham High School junior Red Cross, many things which could and should have been done to help our veterans and the needy Europeans were not accomplished. The group hopes that the school will be more generous when contributions are asked for next year and that more of the underclassmen-boys or girls- will join and take the place of this year's seniors who have worked so diligently for a cause as worthy as the Red Cross.

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.

jjlte QM! QUUW GLU! azfefgaff geffin oin Under its new coach, Warren Goodie, Ded- ham's basketball team showed D.H.S. fans plenty of fast and aggressive basketball. The team seemed to specialize in losing games by one or two points, turning the trick on five separate occasions. An extra point or two in the right spot would have greatly improved the teams final record of five wins and nine losses. Since the boys lacked height, Coach Goodie built his team around a pair of fast, small for- wards, Captain Fran Starr and Steve Kiely. Reg Brown, a giant center, gradually developed into one of the finest in the league. All three of these boys were chosen for and played on the Bay State All Stars team. Dick Fitzhenry, Bill Conroy, Gordon Puff, Al Corey and joe Burke all played as guards during the season. Dick Dunn, jack O'Brien, and Red Downing also saw service during the season. The season started with a pair of two-point losses, to Framingham, 35-55, and Wellesley, 54-56. The team finally got into the win column in its third game, nipping Natick 54-55. Captain Starr led the attack with 17 points. A last-second basket gave Dedham its most heart-breaking defeat as Needham came out on top in one of the IHOSI thrilling games of the year. The team looked better than expected against a sparkling Milton team fwhich later went on to win the Tech Tourney 1, but slipped in the last pe- riod, losing 41-62. Following the defeat by Milton, the boys went on to win three straight contests over Norwood. Walpole, and Natick. The victory over the highly l1Sl BASKETBALL TEAM FRONT ROW John O'Brien. Al Corey.

The whole team played brilliantly, but Steve Kiely was the star of the night, playing an outstanding game both offensively and defensively. Dedham reached its high spot in the scoring de- partment as they rolled up 56 points in absorbing a 56-68 defeat by Wellesley. Three more defeats followed before Dedham scored a 58-50 triumph over Walpole. Starr set the team's individual scoring record with 51 points that afternoon. The season ended with a 54-48 loss at Norwood. The teams leading scorers were Starr, 220 points, Brown, 118, Fitzhenry, 751 and Kiely, 56. The Dedham junior Varsity had a slightly bet- ter season, winning seven of their 14 games. Out- standing members of the ,l.V.'s were Bill Sanford, Al Corey, Paul Connors, and Ken Folsom. D.H.S.
