The echo of a bat cracking a hardball homer down at the Rec. brings hundreds of cheers from our stands. Nothing stirs our spirit as much as our own majorettes and band playing a 'sfightv song on the football field or our peppy cheerleaders leading a long, loud cheer. it fat 30 Footba I I The DeTesomen, almost always outmanned but never out-spirited, battled their way to a creditable 2-6-1 record. There were real thrillers with such teams as Melrose and Con- cord. The game with the latter was lost only in the final eighty seconds. We still played mighty W'inchester, Wakefield, and Woburn. The Maynard game will always be remem- bered as the mud pie game. We played this year for the last time with Lexington, Punch- ard, and Reading. Playing perhaps the tough- est schedule for a team its size, the boys put up a good fight and upheld the tradition of Stoneham High.

Hart 1, Cheerleaders Ever since the cheerleaders were organized in September, 1939, they have contributed a great deal to school spirit. This year was no exception, for no matter what the weather- snow., sleet, or sunshine, the cheerleaders were on the job from September to March for football, basket- ball, or hockey games. Their enthusiasm never waned, and their spirit was boundless. At the football rallies or games, they yelled 'LDown that field, over that line, come on, Stonehamg score this timeli' At the basketball games, they shouted, "Shoot 'em high: catch 'em lowg come on, Stoneham, let's go!" Of course, at the hockey arena they came out with a loud, "Beat, beat., beat that team." S 11 'M X .ALS L For heaven's sake- it's only a dime." O L ..- Bastow, P. Egan, J.
