HOCKEY Once again the bearers of the banner of the red and blue proved that hockey has be- come a major success as well as a major sport at the Natick Senior High School. For the third time in four years it was their fate to finish in second place in the East- ern Massachusetts Hockey League. Through- out the entire season our boys richly deserved the tribute of the sports writers and fans as the most aggressive schoolboy six. It was unfortunate that this year's club was op- posed by the best team that the league has seen since its organization some nine years ago. However the Natick ice experts made a real contest for Hudson's veteran team up to the last week of play. As we say farewell to this fine group oi boys we know that the commendable record that they have carved on all hockey enthu- siasts memories will be long lasting. May they succeed in their future life as they have on the field of play. It is with great hopes that Natick High can send into this war torn world such fine senior hockey men as. Captain Eddie Clasby, the town of champions own Mr. Hockey, who was not only the leaguc-'s leading scorer but was also selected on the New England All Star Team: Ralph Howard the little boy with the courage and speed and determination of the greatest and the noblest: Roger Casavant whose record of tive shutouts rates him as one of Natick's best goalies in the history of local hockeyg Fain and Marshall whose play on defense was always dependable and intelligent: and last but not least Ray Slamin whose great love for the game does not ex- ceed his cleverness near the boards and his inimitable tricky shot.

BUYS'BASKETBALL Hanrlirappecl by the annual toll ot' graduation and by the fact that there was me letterman on the entire squad. we began the 1943-44 season under the ist arlverwe eonditions possible. 'l'ht- followers of this 1943-44 tive had much occasion to be proud of them 1,94-gitiw of the sustained spirit, the unwavering perseverance and on the whole, the good teamwork. .X glance at the record will prove that this club left much to be desired in the way of a winning combination. However, if we were looking for reasons for Iii apparent failures. malty could be found, chief of which would be the loSS of itf captain joe Ifranciose who joined the Navy. It iQ holnerl that next year the play of the team under Captain-elect Robertson will well merit the loyal support of the faithful rooters from the Town of Cham- Illfllli H
