Nerrlthew We, the Class of 1948, dedicate our Yearbook, Echoes, to our senior advisor, Miss Maude E. Merrithew, in grateful appreciation for the many hours that she has contributed to its production. Headmaster As the day of graduation approaches, new adventures and experiences are about to unfold. Some of you will continue your formal education, others will enter into business or industry. You should grow mentally, phys- ically, morally, and socially as long as you live. Graduation is a beginning, not an end. In the years to come you will look back upon your high-school days as an apprenticeship in good living. No greater memorial to the Class of 1948 can be established than the worth-while contributions which you as individuals will make as you take your places in society. The world today greatly needs calm, clear thinking, energetic men and women, men and women with responsibility. The opportunity and the challenge are yours. You can, you must, you will succeed. Wag!

We have acquired a knowledge of the world and of this country and should now be pre- pared to make our way in life. Some of us will continue our education in the many institutions of higher learning, while others will go to work immediately after graduation in chosen fields. Perhaps some of us will leave our mark on the history of a great nation. We are free to do what we wish, regardless of race, color, and religious or political affiliation. If we had been born in some of the other countries of the world, we would not have been able to choose what we wish to do. Instead, we would have been forced to enter some business or trade by reason of a predecessor's choice or because of the will of our government. This condition does not exist, nor will it ever exist, in a country such as ours, because of the standards upon which our country has been established. After we have acquired a little experience in the American way of life, we will be allowed to vote for whomever we wish. More than one name will appear on the ballot, and we believe that this opportunity for choice will be the best way to control our country and uphold its policies. We, as American citizens, are able and are allowed to think, talk, write, and practise doctrines which we believe to be right. We do not confine our thinking to our country's supremacy over the rest of the world, but to our country's leadership in tolerance, patience, and freedom. In the course of our schooling we have learned to tolerate those about us and to have patience with those who are not as capable as we. We have been afforded the opportunity to study the character not only of our teachers, but of our classmates as well. We have taken part in extra-curricular activities, such as music and athletics, which have given us the ability to think quickly and to make correct selections in the time of trying situations. Our teachers have instructed us to use our minds to the best advantage, while our athletic directors have helped us to strengthen our bodies to withstand the hardships of life. Coordination of mind and body guarantees us the ability and surety to react well under stress. This training covers the educational and physical aspect of our time spent in school. However, there are other things that we have gained, most important of which is character development. We have learned what these words mean, and, more- over, we have learned how best to practise them through our general education. Aside from the fact that we have been taught to act independently and to better ourselves, the fact remains that we have learned the principles of our country, those which will protect us against the disease of foreign isms and will preserve the rights and privileges that are ours for our children. The Constitution and the rights that it guarantees in turn have been handed down to us through the years, and it is for us to adhere to them so that we may share them with the generations to come. Our education hasn't been confined to the study of our own government. We have been encouraged to study other countries and their governments, and then to compare and contrast them with our own. No matter what country or type of ruler studied, there is only one conclusion that we can come to, and that is that our country, these United States, is the most progressive and best operated of any in the world. For this reason, we ought to consider ourselves very lucky to be graduating into a free and safe democracy, the one and only United States of America. , The Editor -:L J 5' J lx www fx 4 S anime 15' if? incase President Richard Riley Secretary Norma Tarr Treasurer Barbara Stevens Vice-President Norman Rhodes Goss MQHQ Our cure should be noir so muclw Jro live lonq as +0 live well. 61561155 uf H3358 'S va fr YY 5-if ' QM' R P G i NA 4 'ff- JOHN CLIFFORD 'Al1's well that ends well.'

Like most Freshmen, we were dubious about our future as members of this great institution. We were duly initiated by the lordly Seniors, and, after overcoming this obstacle, we settled down to the routine of passing our subjects. Endowed with new vigor, we returned from our winter holidays to make up our forgotten work. As the spring progressed and June approached, it was apparent to many of us that some of our classmates were too fond of their seats in the Freshman Home Rooms to leave. So we had to go along without them. As Sophomores, we elected class officers and representatives to the Student Council. In the fall we ran our first dance, the Sophomore Record Hop, under the supervision of Miss Murphy, our Class Advisor. At Christmas time a group of pupils, coached by Miss Simpson, produced a play called nTen Percent Tommy.H Joan Lightfoot and Jack Tivnan represented our class in this production. Mean- while other members of the class were participating in various sports and had attained positions on our teams. At this time, also, a Projectors' Club was formed under the direction of Mr. Allen. Late in the winter we returned to school one Monday morning to be greeted by our new headmaster, Mr. Morrill. There was an air of expectancy as the Glee Club rehearsed for the Stephen Foster Operetta. This was the first attempt of the Club to put on a big pro- gram. Charles Russell, Norman Rhodes, and nTuckern Egan played leading roles and delighted us with their singing. Many Sophomores sang in the chorus and brought glory to our class. In our Junior year it was quite evident that the girls were to decide the fate of class policies, since girls obtained a majority of the offices. Our first social event was our autumn dance which we sponsored with the assistance of Miss Simpson, our Junior Class Advisor. The football team had a very successful season under the leadership of its new coach, Mr. Nathanson. Charles Russell, nTuckern Egan, and Jack Tivnan upheld the fame of the Junior Class. The game which made us the happiest was the twenty to two victory at Weston. As Christmas came nearer, there was a flurry of excitement as many of the Juniors rehearsed for Miss Simpson's Christmas play, nThere is Room in the Inn.n The interior of an inn in Bethlehem furnished the setting for this production. In reverent silence the action was brought to a dramatic climax when the scene of the nativity was beautifully depicted. Our class was well represented in the chorus which sang Christmas melodies. The success of the program was most grat- ifying. We returned from our vacation rested and ready to attack our studies. It was at this time that we selected and ordered our class rings. Then basketball became the consuming interest. Excitement was at its highest peak as our team added victory to victory. When the season approached its completion, Wayland High's team had lost only three games. The girl's team coached by Miss Sisson was just organized and did not have a very successful season. Imagine our surprise and delight when it was announced that Wayland had been invited to participate in the Tech Tourney. In the first game, Wayland defeated Hanover by a score of thirty-two to twenty-nine and later Sharon forty- three to twenty-five. Then came the most important game with the Class C Champions from Provincetown. Wayland overpowered the opponents in a forty-three to thirty-two victory. Juniors on the team were Jack Tivnan, nTuclcern Egan, Charles Russell, Richard Riley, Bill Curley, and Harold Hynes. ln the spring, three of our classmates, Barbara Stevens, Nancy Yarrish and Lewis Russell, were inducted into the Francis Wayland Chapter of the National Honor Society at an initiation program, which all the school attended. The Consumer Economics Class, with the assistance of Mr. Gladu, set up a school store which we call HWay-Co.n This store provides great help to those pupils who are always losing pencils and other school supplies.

Article I. As a token of our appreciation to the' faculty .. ,-. ' ,. - 5-' ' RSX members, we leave this bundle of report cards, tied with :1 , C w sweet-scented ribbon. We know that they, our teachers, will 7, +0 cherish these cards as the years roll on and think of us 'Q with fondness, because no class in the future will be able Nw-'pgib to attain such marks. N?gia5g.E Article II. Students may come and students may go, but Maynard Holman never leaves on the regular bus. To him we V give this time card to be punched as he goes from room to Z room between 2:06 and 5:50 every day. A COCWTUAT' Article III.

Il' Article V. To Martin Ide we leave this tricycle, so that , he won't have to walk to Cochituate. Perhaps a bicycle LJ built for two would be even better in his case. Z-LJ' Article VI. Phil Harris has his That's 'Nhat I Like About the South and Bing Crosby his White Christmas, but with 1 the Wayland High Orchestra, it's Down Main Street. We QOJ have purchased for this group of musicians a new piece with f which to entertain next year's students, nwith a Hey, and a ,V Hi, and a Ho, Ho, Ho. . 'A KJ . I Article VII.

Let's take a trip, we can be back by dinner time.n HA very good idea, Barbara. Oh! Look! Frank NcLellan's the pilot. He has been with the airplane company for several years. Hurry, the plane's taking off!V HOh, Nancy, here we go up in the air! I'm far too excited right now to concen- trate on this magazine. Wait, though, the cover girl is very lovely! Let me look closer. Of course, it's Joan Lightfoot! Joan has become internationally known as one of the country's top-flight fashion models. Joan is very chic. We must have her address our club, The Future Business Leaders of America.H nWhy we're flying over New York already! This jet-plane has more speed than l ever imagined possible. A few minutes from Wayland Airport, and we're in New York! Stewardess, is that the new International Building, please? Mary Lee, of all people! How long have you been working for the Wayland Airlines? I know you're too busy to talk now, but we simply must compare notes some of these days. Barbara, did you know that that building was designed by Lester Gray, and that it is now the tallest in the world? Look, isn't that someone waving to us from that office window? It's Barbara Gersbach, Norman Hollett's bustling, but effi- cient secretary. Hi, 'Babs!'H n'Way over in the corner surrounded by his usual array of papers is our book- keeping genius, Murray Stahl. He appears to be helping some struggling bookkeeper to make the books balance. There's someone else waving to us from that window on the floor below. This time it's Peggy DiModica, dental secretary to one of New York's most successful dentists.n uln just a few minutes we'll be passing over Chicago and that spot offers more surprises. Norma Tarr is one of the city's best dancing instructors. Norma's absolute guarantee to teach anyone to dance in two easy lessons has won her many grateful patrons. Two more of our girls, Frances Hynes and Rose Ward, have become very successful! One of the city's largest hospitals holds the distinction of having Frances as its competent Superintendent and equally capable Rose as Super- visor of Nurses.H uLcok, Nancy, here come the vast wheat fields of Nebraska! Far below, covering an acre of land, stretches the very modern Handrahan Institute of Farming. Its founder, world renowned bacteriologist, John Handrahan, is busily teaching his amazingly new scientific theories to his students.H nNow as our plane zooms over Arizona, we may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Dottie Place and Frances Davieau. Dottie owns the Bar-X Ranch and is in her glory, riding from dawn to sunset. Frances is in charge of one of Arizona's lar- gest travel bureaus.n nSunny California! That looks like a football game down there. Why, yes! It's the famous Rose Bowl Game, and there is 'Tucker' Egan dashing over the fifty-yard line. Wait! What is he doing now? To whom is he throwing the ball? Tom's tricky pass is very neatly caught by Jack Tivnan. Everyone in the sports world knows of the feats of Egan and Tivnan, a team that is fast setting foot- ball records everywhere. The crowd is in an uproar, a touchdown has been scored! Above all booms the voice of the sports announcer, our own Dickie Dew.H NWe're at the Metro Studios. There's Richard Riley, stage, screen, and radio star, busy at work filming his new picture, 'What a Life!' Richie has been holding his audiences spellbound with his antics for the past five years. Let's peek in at Studio A as we go by. You can see Danny Laughlin and Doris LaFrance busy at work on their new animated cartoon, 'Tommy the Turtle.' I can see Geraldine Sullivan also happily at work in that beautiful office. 'Jerry' is sec- retary to the president of the Metro Studios, you know.n nNow, Nancy, we're leaving the shores of the United States behind for a while as our plane flies over the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean. In Hawaii, the vacationist's paradise, we'll find, to our delight, more of our classmates. Below you see El Cabana, the island's most exclusive restaurant, owned by James Marcantonio. Nightly the patrons enjoy the delicious food served them by Chef James Lupien, while they listen to the delightful music of 'Chuck' Russell and his orchestra. 'Chuck's' drums, together with Jack Clifford's trumpet and Francis Dowey's delicate touch on the piano do much to add to the popularity of this fine orchestra. The baritone voice of Robert Hooker brought them fame overnight. Doris Collins and her husband are two of the island's most enthusi- astic vacationists at the present time. Let's bid adieu to this beautiful island of palm trees and blue waters and continue on our way.n nHere come two planes roaring toward us,performing all sorts of stunts imag- inable. Oh, Barbara, I can't bear to look at them, the pilots will be killed! They've pulled out of their tail spins and are waving to us. Harold Hynes and Billy Curley are all grins after almost scaring us out of our wits with their daring stunts.n nOur pilot is putting on more speed. In a few minutes we'll be approaching the magnificent skyline of Europe. Two of our country's young men are astound- ing the people of France with their diplomatic and scientific abilities. Norman Rhodes, our ambassador to France, has been here for over a year, striving to bring about mutual understanding between the United States and France. Lewis Russell's name is known to the scientific world for his untiring work in research connected with the supersonic rays.

Aiklziitffg 94-741-S cfcjffb e GQJJJ cg., The nineteen forty-seven Wayland baseball team opened its season in part as Coach Nathanson called for the batteries to work out in the Wayland Auditorium until they could transfer to outdoor practice. nBuzzu Bowers was Wayland's chief pitcher, with diminutive Dick O'Brien to fill in when needed. Bradford Whitney appeared to be leading the receiving candidates with an abundance of experience and hitting power. Bill Curley was to be his sub, but played in the outfield when not catching. Wayland's ten-game schedule was announced, with Lexington as the opening game. Egan started at first base, and he really could cover that initial corner. The little redhead was dangerous at the plate, too. Another redhead, Ken Moran, started on the opposite side of the diamond. Ken had some previous high-school experience and had played Junior Legion ball as well. Jack Tivnan, George Whitney and Jack Handrahan made up the rest of the infield with Jim Curley to fill in when needed. Bill Curley started in right field, Martin Ide and Bill Costello alternated in left, and Fran Laughlin held the position in the center garden. Fran was later shifted to right to make way for George Butler. nBuzzyn pitched the route in this opening game and gave up only two hits, while his team mates compiled a grand total of thirteen safeties. Leading the list of big stickers for this name was Brad Whitney with four bingles in five trips. Among these were a three-bagger and a long home run to left field. Bowers fanned an even sixteen Lexington batsmen to start his big season off well. On May fifth Wayland took to the road in rather uncertain cars and traveled to Westboro. Dick O'Brien held the mound for Wayland in this seven-inning con- test and scattered six hits effectively, while fanning a total of eight. Coach Nathanson used fourteen men as they totaled fourteen runs on seventeen base knocks. In this number were doubles by Pillion, Moran, and Whitney, and a long triple by Tommy Egan. This gave Wayland a record of two straight, the wins going to Bowers and O'Brien. No rest for the wicked. On the following day, Tuesday, to be exact, the team drove to Maynard, to visit the previously unbeaten Maynard High nine. Bowers was scheduled to take the mound, and that he did, pitching a masterful four hitter. NBuzzn added seventeen more strike threes to his growing list. This game was closer than it sounds, because Wayland got only eight hits, and with them three runs, just one more than Maynard. In the three games that the Wayland team had played, it had made a total of twelve errors, and this loose fielding was to spell downfall before the season was over. On May the ninth, Wayland continued its road trip to the western teams and this time stopped off at Ashland to visit Coach Walker's Ashland nine. The result was gratifying with Wayland on top once again. This was the fourth straight for the locals, with Charlie Bowers earning just three of these four wins. uBuzzn gave up three safeties, two triples, and the other a blooper single over second. Wayland was able to squeeze only four hits out of Gilman, the Ashland twirler, but crossed the plate seven times. On Monday, May the twelfth, Wayland was to play Lexington High School again, this time at Lexington. Bowers took on the tossing duties and came up with no less than twenty-two third strikes to raise his total to seventy-three in four games for an average of eighteen per. In this game, Bowers whiffed the first five men to face him, then the sixth grounded weakly to Egan at first, who made the put-out unassisted. Bowers turned back the next nine in order, with three strikes apiece. All the time, the Lexington coach kept telling his players that Bowers didn't have a prayer on the ball, and that they were striking them- selves out. Even after nBuzzn struck down the last man in the last inning with three fast ones, the Lexington coach kept telling his boys that Bowers would burn out in an inning or two and that they would knock the ball out of the park on every pitch. We didn't stay around until they started to hit, instead, we all went home. On Wednesday, May the fourteenth, came nLittle Buzzn O'Brien's turn to toe the rubber. The Wayland team realized that he would need little assistance, but o x 1 I I . a . .-,,- Lil? . Q f '1 , - f Fl A ' V . ur - ,- Y A 1 'Q , A 4. 1 Y -vi XWN -f Q ' . V .

The final score was Wayland twenty, Westboro one, with Westboro's tally coming in the second inning as their boys combined two of their three hits. Wayland got two runs on two hits in the first, but, as they moved into the second inning, the boys really exploded. After the smoke had cleared away, Wayland had scored ten runs on nine hits and had broken the Westboro coach's heart. Eight consecutive men crossed the plate in this big inning and Fran Laughlin appeared to be the big gun as he got two hits and scored two runs, all in the same stanza. O'Brien got his stride and mowed down in order eleven Westboro batsmen after their only scoring break in the second. He struck out no less than thirteen men and was beginning to live up to his nickname in a big way. After the sixth straight victory, Wayland drove to Weston looking for the seventh. Bowers, back at his accustomed position on the mound, reared and threw up a terrific no-hit, one-run game, the second of his high school career. Wayland once again slaughtered the opposing pitchers, all three of them, club- ing out sixteen hits, good for sixteen scores. Bowers lived up to his eighteen strike-outs per game, as he got just eighteen. He assisted his own cause also by sticking safely in three trips to the plate, one of them a double. Jack Tivnan stood out with two singles and a triple to his credit. In two games Wayland had scored thirty-six runs on just thirty-six hits. Weston made the seventh straight for Wayland. The following Friday Wayland was to play host to Coach Walker's nine of Ash- land. Ashland was primed for an upset victory, but was no match for the swerves of nBuzzn Bowers. In the sixth inning of the game Bowers was working diligently on his second consecutive no-hitter. As he finished this sixth inning, he had pitched seventeen consecutive innings of no-hit ball. Tension ran high on the Wayland bench and in the Wayland stands. Suddenly, as Bowers reared back to pitch, there came a loud pop from near by. Everyone's hair stood on end, and we went up about two feet as a small boy near us broke a-paper bag. The tension was released and everybody laughed. Ashland got just one hit, an infield single by pinch hitter Shaughnessy in the seventh. This bingle drove across their lone tally, as Wayland edged them, four to one. Bowers threw better than seventeen hitless innings, two against Lexington, nine in Weston, and the first six of the Ashland tilt, only to be stopped by that pinch infield single. That is a record that any pitcher could be proud of. Wayland's four hits were well spaced among Egan, Laughlin, Butler, and George Whitney. For Wayland, this made the eighth victory in as many starts. For Bowers, this made his sixth win in as many starts. Eight straight, did they get nine? Middlesex School of Concord was the poten- tial victim labeled nine. Wayland arrived at 5 P. M., on Monday, May 26, and departed two hours later with its ninth rung on the ladder of success. O'Brien started on the mound for Wayland, but it didn't seem to be his day. After two runs crossed the plate, he was taken out and Bowers brought in from second to put out the fire. Charlie got twelve men on strikes and had four hits charged against him. Wayland exploded, as was becoming its policy, and pushed thirteen runs across the platter on five Middlesex twirlers, each of them being charged for at least two runs. Well, there it is, nine wins and no defeats. The final game on the schedule was Weston vs. Wayland at Cochituate Town Field. Wayland needed that tenth victory and got it with the customary explosion coming in the sixth inning. O'Brien started this game but had to be relieved in the fifth inning as Bowers came in to quell an impertinent Weston uprising. In his five and two-thirds innings diminutive Dick gave out six runs on five hits, one of them a double. uBuzzn came in and struck out the only man to face him with just three pitches. Then the game moved into the last of the fifth. Wayland opened with a hit and moved the runner to second on a routine infield out. This was all in vain because he died there, and the Weston boys once again took up their bats. The lead-off man grounded weakly to first, and Egan made the put-out unassisted. The next two swung futilely and missed badly as the inning ended. Wayland shelled two Weston pitchers for four runs on four base knocks in their half of the sixth, mostly on Jack Tivnan's home run and George Butler's double. Bowers shut the door in the first of the seventh, as he retired all three men to face him with the maximum number of strikes apiece. Ten wins and no losses. This was the Wayland regular season schedule record for the forty-seven season. Wayland received a bid to the schoolboy tournament to be held at Fenway Park the following week. In there, Wayland with two hundred pupils would be competing against schools of twelve hundred and more. Wayland had gone into the tournament on the right arm of Charlie Bowers and would play in the tournament on that same arm. In the first game of the first round Wayland was scheduled to play corerville High, an easy favorite over the local Orange and Black, by virtue of exper- ience and size. The leader of this unusual Somerville High was a boy named Tom Gallagher, with a record almost as good as that of Bowers. The two opposite pitchers were the Host outstanding in the Tournament. Each had thrown a no- hitter, and each had followed it with a one-hit masterpiece. Both teams were scoreless over the first four innings, but in the fifth, Wayland broke the ice and pushed a single run across tie plate. Brad Yhitney singled sharply to center, stole second, and scored from there as the Somerville first sacker made an error on George Butler's grcunder. Somerville czxc Lack in the sixthg their boys got four of their total of six tits and scored three times with them. The final score was Somerville five, Harland cre. 4 gallant Wayland team had lost, ending the season with a ten to one record.

C! .se-CJ The Wayland High HYellow Jacketsn first appeared as a team in a scrimmage with Natick High. Bill O'Connell was the only regular lineman returning, and Jack Tivnan and 'Tuckern Egan were the only regular backs. On paper, Wayland looked only fair, with six new linemen and two new backs. In Natick, Wayland proved this theory, but at times seemed to click and look smooth. In the backfield, Jack Tivnan, nTuckerH Egan, John Handrahan, and Martin Ide got the call to starting positions, then Bert Ketchen began alternating with Martin in the fullback slot. John Place occasionally saw service as a ball carrier. The line presented more of a problem. Bill Curley shifted into the center from guard. Norman Rhodes and Ronald Bradley were supposed to be the starting guards, but an injury forced Rhodes to retire, and in his place appeared Donald LaCoy, a former quarterback. At the tackles was Bill O'Connell from last year, while Charlie Lepine moved into the other side. Little Jack Carroll, who had done some growing, seemed logical for one end, and for the other it was a toss-up between Richard Marcantonio and nDickn Bourette, a newcomer to Wayland High. This was, you understand, for the first game or two. The unofficial season's opener at Hudson set the fans to wondering just what happened to Wayland's weak line. The forward wall rose and defended itself nobly. The guards charged, the center blocked, the tackles tackled, and the backs ran like demons. Wayland distinguished itself by playing down to a score- less deadlock with both Ashland and Concord High Schools. Everyone agreed that Wayland outplayed its opponents. Where was the much talked of weakness? The following week, on Saturday, September 20, Wayland went to Abington to start the official season. That's where the weakness appeared, it was on the further extremities of the line, commonly called the ends. Wayland lost a close, hard-fought contest to Class C Abington, by the score of six to nothing. But this was much worse than an ordinary loss, for Jack Tivnan had injured his throw- ing hand. He wouldn't do anything but kick for about three weeks. These three weeks included the games with the Howe of Billerica, with Westboro and Millis. Tivnan would have to be a bystander while substitute Wayland fill his shoes as a line bucker. It wouldn't be easy to fill because he could pass accurately, run fast and hard, and play game. After many changes, a man was finally found who could John'sN labor. It was none other than the smallest man on the and fifteen pounds of human dynamo, James Michael Curley. Jim halfbacks tried to Tivnan's position, a strong defensive take care of 'Long squad, one hundred didn't play Jack's halfback spot, but instead quarterback as Handrahan shifted over to left halfback. nChuckN Russell, another senior, took over left tackle after the injury of Charlie Lepine. Walter Smith appeared as starting left guard after Don LaCoy's leg was injured, and Richard Marcantonio played at left end to spell off Jack Carroll. Second on Wayland's list was Howe High of Billerica. Wayland scored first in the initial period, with nTuckn Egan going over from the five on a pass from Jack Handrahan. Howe came right back early in the second half and tied the game up at six all. The boys battled during the third period, but things were pretty even, and Wayland was unable to get across the goal line. Jack Tivnan's kicking kept the Billerica boys with their backs to the wall, with the result that they were unable to tally in the third. x After about three minutes in the last period, Howe broke the deadlock on a thirty-eight yard pass. Then, as insurance to the lead, Howe rushed over the goal line for the important point of the ball game. With but a short time to go, Wayland took advantage of a Howe fumble and crossed the line again. As usual, it was Little Tommy nTuckern Egan who scored. Ide's kick was blocked, and Billerica had a one-point lead which was carefully and successfully nursed for the remainder of the playing time. Wayland had lost again and this time by only one point. The first game was lost by one touchdown. Therefore, the third game should be a tie. And it was. Westboro and Wayland fought scoreless for three periods.

The Westboro boys were all the way to the one-foot mark when Wayland stopped them, held them, confused them, and then took the ball away on downs. This sort of playing went on until the last period. First one team would get into striking distance, then fumble or lose the ball on downs. Then it would be the other team's turn to lose it after getting very close. Toward the end of the third period, Wayland was backed up to its own goal posts. Jack Tivnan went in to punt. The ball was snapped, but not to him. It was supposed to be a pass, but between the center and the receiving back something went wrong. Westboro rushed, recovered, and, on the first play, pushed it over the goal line. Then both teams reverted to their old form of fumble and fail, which lasted to within two minutes of the game. Wayland moved the opposition boys back to their goal line with the aid of two fifteen-yard penalties and forced them to kick. -The kick was a poor one, and halfback John Handrahan took it on the forty-yard line. Before he could be stopped, he had moved all the way to the Westboro thirteen-yard line, a net gain of twenty-seven yards. On the first play, a Handrahan pass was knocked down. But the second pass, now that was a different story altogether. Jack faded back and tossed a long high spiral into the end zone, which was just beyond Tom Egan. But that didn't bother Tom in the leastg as he left his feet, the ball dropped into his outstretched fingertips. The game was tied up! This was the point that counted. Tivnan went in with instructions, and the Wayland team decided to run the end. The ball was snapped to Egan, who plowed through potential tacklers to the line, but was stopped there. The game ended soon afterward. A six to six tie. This third game formed a mathematical progression. Wayland had lost the first game by one touchdown, the second game by one point, and then had tied the third. Therefore Wayland should win the fourth. Wayland's fourth game was played with Millis High at the Wayland field. The teams lined up with Millis receiving the kick. Wayland had lost the toss. The visitors ran just three plays and then punted to the Wayland twenty-yard line. Wayland ran five plays, and Tom Egan plugged across the final line into pay territory. The teams lined up for the point after with Martin Ide in the kicking position for Wayland. The ball was snapped to nTucker' Egan, who was to hold it. Instead, Egan rose and easily flipped a spiral to George Butler in the end zone for the first point after a touchdown that Wayland had scored this year. With this seven-point victory edge over them early in the opening period, the visitors were unable to ever get back in the ball game, although they came close more than once. In the second period, Egan tossed another to end Butler, and again they con- nected for a score, this time, six points' worth. Egan himself pushed the ball through guard for the additional point on this touchdown. Early in the fourth period, Richard Riley, one hundred and thirty-five pounds of flashing senior, took to the end and outdistanced all tacklers who came within striking distance of him. He crossed the goal line unmolested for Wayland's final tally, when the attempted kick later failed. In the period between Wayland touchdowns, Mlllis slipped over three of them, but was unable to convert, and lost twenty to eight- een. Jack Handrahan was injured in this game and wasn't sure of his chance to return very soon. For the fifth game of the current season, the Wayland team climbed aboard the bus and followed the back roads to Medfield to visit for a short time the Medfield High representatives. Nayland supporters leaped to their feet on the fourth play of this game, as nTuckn Egan loped around end for thirty-six yards and the first score of the game. The teams lined up for the point after, and, as usual, Martin Ide got into kicking position with Egan holding. Curley centered the ball back, and Egan stood just long enough to pass to Richie Marcantonio in the end zone for the point. Medfield bounced back in the second period to make seven to six, and this stood for the remainder of the first half. Early in the third stanza, the home team scored on a long run to go out in front, twelve to seven. Then Wayland took the ball and marched sixty-five yards. On the ninth play, Tivnan plowed through right guard and across the last white line to put Wayland in the lead once more. The time was running out in the final round as Wayland took the ball on down to its own forty-three yard marker and, in only four plays, moved it to the defenders' ten-yard stripe. There Jack Tivnan was pushed out of bounds after a brilliant run. Time ran out on this play. The game gave Wayland its second win in five starts, with one stalemate included. Wayland maintained the edge for the entire first half and generally pushed The following week was to be the game of the season, rain, shine or otherwise. The much vaunted Ashland High team was to drop into Wayland for four ten-minute periods of rough and tumble action. Ashland High was to spend a pleasant after- noon at Wayland and engage in physical combat called football. Wayland was spitting sparks from previous encounters with this team. hl d Hi h had the honor of being the only In last year's football season As an g k b 11 Son Ashland held t d f t the nYellow Jackets.n During the bas et a sea tigmofothj Shree wins over Wayland, but was turned back in the Tech Tourney which Wayland later won. During the baseball season it was another story entirely, Charlie Bowers dazzled them twice This is not the beginning, nor is it t e :id of the way1and.Ash1and rivalry.. Every dog has its day, and Wayland wanted losest to being at S turda November the first. The Wayland team was its c ' fill strength. Jack Handrahan was the only player to be out with inguries. Ashland all over the field. The visitors would try before they would be forced to return to Wayland by way score at the end of the first half, and this condition of three periods of playing time. In the fourth period, only a couple of plays of punt. remained with six fraction left to play, Ashland took the ball from its own thirty started to march. It required only nine plays to push the ball There was no until the end minutes and a yard line and over the goal line and then kick the point afterward for added insurance. Wayland took the kick, but before the Wayland boys could get the ball across the fifty-yard line, Tom Egan was injured and had to be removed from the game. The Wayland fans groaned in unison. There were eleven men on the field, but not one of them had the defensive ability that Egan had. Tivnan was woefully handicapped and could make no substantial gain with the Wayland spirit broken. This game not only was a loss for Wayland, but marked an end to many of the Wayland hopes for a November spurt. The season was nearing an end for approached. Wayland, after the rugged the sidelines, took the only beating opposition didn't have a weak spot, Wayland High School as the Westwood game Ashland game that saw Egan and Tivnan on received in two years at Westwood. The or so it looked to the Wayland rooters. Everything it did was perfect while our boys looked futile and broken. In less than one minute of play, after Wayland had received the opening kickoff, the score stood six to nothing in favor of Westwood. Westwood struck again later in the first period and converted, to make the score thirteen to nothing before the initial stanza was over. This condition continued for three more periods, with Westwood moving into pay dirt in every period. The final score stood Westwood thirty-six, Wayland six. This was a Ulicking,n the second straight for the nYellow Jackets.N There remained only two more contests on Wayland's schedule, one with the all-time rival, Weston High, and the other with the Bourne team from the Cape. The Bourne game, played at Wayland High field, came next. The local team, still smarting from its worst beating in two years, was determined to stop its losing streak at two straight by defeating Bourne. With the Weston High football squad on hand to watch, Wayland blasted out a twelve to nothing victory over the Cape Codders. The visitors and fans saw Dick Bourette run wild through the tackles and around ends, as he did most of the carrying for the Black and Orange. In the second period, Bourette broke loose for a thirty-six yard jaunt, but the play was called back because of an off side penalty. Early in the fourth period, Dick hit his usual right tackle hole and kept going for fifty-three yards and the game's initial score. Later, in this same final period, he smashed through center from the two-yard line, miking the score twelve to nothing. Ide missed the points on placements both mes. Wayland's starting backfield for this contest included Bert Ketchen at quar- terg Dick Bourette, left half, Richie Marcantonio, a converted end, the other V 1. halfback' and Bill O'Connell a for er t kl t f 11b k, B111 Curie recei d un ' m ac e' 8 u ac Malcolm me and y ve e starting terminary assignments.

The Wayland team was to play host to Weston High at Nickerson Field. If the nYellow Jacketsn could win this annual Weston tilt in nineteen forty-seven, they would establish some new records and destroy some old ones. In the recorded Wayland-Weston football rivalry, Wayland had never been able to win two years in a row. As a matter of fact, Wayland had had much trouble winning at all. Last year an exceptional Wayland team had turned the trick by beating Weston via a twenty to two count. If the team could win this year, it would break the jinx. Also, in Coach Nathanson's almost two years at Wayland, he had never coached a team that was beaten by Weston. In baseball he held two wins over the Maroon and Grayg in basketball, the same numberg and last year's twenty to two victory in football. If Wayland High could score a victory in this contest, it would have an even break for the nineteen forty-seven season, with four wins, one tie, and four losses. After last year's record of eight wins and only one defeat, that sounds pretty poor, but Wayland had a much tougher schedule than ever before. Well, Wayland lost the opening toss, and Weston decided to kick to Wayland to start off the ball game. Wayland attempted just three plays and then returned the ball to Weston by way of Dick Bourette's punt to the Weston thirty-yard line. After only three plays from scrimmage, Weston had a six to nothing lead on a pass but missed its chance to make it seven when the kick was wide of the uprights. Dick Bourette took the ball from scrimmage after nTuckeru Egan had returned it to the Weston thirty-five yard line. In six plays Wayland had evened the score, as Bourette ran and passed to Bill Curley. Egan carried it for five yards in the center of the line once. Wayland's attempted conversion was also off the beam, so the score stood tightly knotted throughout the first half. Weston received the kick to open the second half, and before Wayland finally got possession again, the opponents were on the Wayland twenty-three yard line. The NGalloping Ghost,n as the Weston fans were beginning to call Bourette, was stopped at the line of scrimmage on the first play, but on the second, he plowed through left tackle and sailed forty yards to the Weston thirty-seven yard line before being pulled down. Martin Ide and Tom Egan got six yards apiece, putting the ball down to the twenty-five, for a first and ten. Bourette faded and passed to Jack Carroll down the middle for another first down on the fifteen. Bourette got a good head of steam and roared through the middle for fifteen yards to put dear old Wayland out in front for the first time in the game. Egan moved back into kicking position, but Bourette took the pass from center and flipped it to Jack Carroll out in the left flat for the point after. On just four plays Weston again broke into the scoring column. This occurred at the beginning of the fourth period. Frank Jacques faded back to the Wayland forty-five yard line and threw a long one into the end zone to the waiting arms of Bill Van Heest. The teams lined up for the point after, but the snap back from the Weston center forced the quarterback to leap into the air, thus killing the play. Wayland kept possession of the ball throughout most of the remainder of the final stanza and had moved it to the Weston twenty-two yard line as the final whistle blew. The game was not so close as the score indicates for Wayland scored both touchdowns on a strong running game that clocked up about twice as many first downs as Weston. The Weston team, on the other hand, couldn't score through our line and had to connect for two fine touchdown passes to keep it in the came. Wayland now looks forward to a banner year in forty-eight, because nine out of eleven men starting the last game, the Weston battle, will be returning next year to once again seek varsity positions. Those starters to leave are end Bill Curley and tackle Charlie Russell. A four-man starting backfield and a five-man line are returning--a coach's dream. Dick Dew Fwwthnl ?

The Black and Orange quintet won fifteen games out of eighteen starts in the regular season and added three straight victories in the Tech Tournament against three of the toughest teams in the state. Wayland was crowned Class C Champion for the first time in the school's history. This year, because of losses by graduation, the team was not expected to reach tie heights of a year ago. Two of the starting tourney five, Charlie Bowers and Lan Laughlin, are through with high-school basketball. From last season's varsity, Jack Tivnan, NTuckerH Egan, and nChuckH Russell were expected to return. Tivnan would have to be absent for the first two games because of ineligibility but would probably be back for the bulk of the season. George Butler filled Tivnan's position at guard. Martin Ide moved into forward in place of Dan Laughlin. Fran Bowers and Harold Hynes competed for starting honors in the place Charlie Bowers vacated. This year the team was scheduled to start the season off in Boston Garden against Kennebunk, Maine. Kennebunk had played four games before the contest with Wayland. The team was more advanced than Wayland because of early games. The Wayland team fought hard all the way and held the score very close. At the end of the first half Wayland was three points ahead of the visiting team, and, at the end of the game, Wayland held its longest lead of the contest by six points, twenty-nine to twenty-three. ' Everyone who saw the contest agreed that it was one of the hardest fought for quite some time. Wayland, it was predicted, would have another great season, but this could be proved or disproved only by time itself. Martin Ide was the high scorer for the game with a total of eleven points. Egan followed him closely, and Hynes and Bowers between them scored nine from the center position. The second game on the schedule was with Auburn, Massachusetts, at the Boston Arena, on December 50. For this contest Martin Ide started at left forward and Tom Egan on the other side of the court at right forward. Harold Hynes and Francis Bowers alternated at center with Hynes receiving the starting nomina- tion. George Butler and Charlie Russell held the guard positions. Wayland moved into an early lead and led Auburn five to one at the end of the opening round. The Black and Orange continued to hold the upper hand as the Wayland boys scored six in the first half. The Auburn boys tried to get back in the game in the second half, but Wayland successfully suppressed their scoring drives and edged them twenty to nineteen as the final whistle sounded. Thus Wayland scored its second win in as many starts and continued the con- secutive winning streak to seven. Auburn had won three straight before this game. George Butler was the Wayland high scorer with six points, and Martin Ide followed him closely with five. Harold Hynes dropped in four free shots. Wayland's third game of the season was with Dover High School at Wayland on Tuesday, January 6. The Wayland team was considerably strengthened by the return of Jack Tivnan to the line-up. Dover was seeking a third win in four starts. Wayland was after a third win of the campaign and was trying to run its consecutive win streak up to eight. Dover jumped into an early lead and at the end of the first period led Wayland eight to four. Wayland came from behind in the second period, and, at the end of the first half, the Black and Orange held a slim fourteen to twelve lead. Jack Tivnan and Tom Egan were doing most of the scoring for the locals. The Dover center, Dick McGill, was the high scorer, netting sixteen points in all. At the end of the third period, Wayland was once again behind, this time by three points, twenty-two to nineteen. With twenty seconds to go, Wayland was still behind by one point, twenty-nine to twenty-eight. Bill Curley was in for Martin Ide at left forward. Then, just after a wild shot by Wayland, Curley was fouled by one of the Dover guards. He was given one shot and dropped it cleanly through the net for the equalizing tally. The game ended with the score knotted up and then went into overtime.

Friday, January ninth, Wayland played Westwood at Westwood. With HOZN Garvey at the wheel, the Wayland school bus transported the basketball squad and cheer- leaders. The squad had suddenly grown to unpredicted numbers, all anxious to score for dear old Wayland. Westwood was playing its second game of the year, after winning its first by a score over Millis High. The Black and Orange quintet was seeking the fourth win of the year and the ninth consecutive triumph. Westwood had other ideas, however, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away, the fast green team had trounced the locals, thirty-four to twenty. The only explanation for Wayland's collapse was that the boys had an off night. Tom Egan was the high scorer of the locals with eight points to his credit. Jack Tivnan followed him closely with six, and three of the Wayland players, Butler, Bowers, and Russell,were tied with two apiece. For Russell, it was the first time he had scored this season. In a blinding blizzard Wayland High visited Millis High at Millis on Tuesday, January 15. Bill Curley, Tom Egan, Harold Hynes, Charlie Russell, and Jack Tivnan got the starting call for this contest. Wayland started cff slowly, and at the end of the first period, Millis was leading, nine to seven. The Wayland coaches remembered a year ago, when Wayland had :layed Millis in this same Gymnasium and had beaten its team decisively after getting off to a slow start. In the second period, Wayland suddenly recovered and netted fifteen points to Millis' eight. Thus, at half time, Wayland led the Millis maroon and Gray by five points, twenty-two to seventeen. Martin Ide and Tom Egan seemed to be racing for top scoring honors, with Egan going into the lead and strengthening it in the two final stanzas. At the end of three periods of play, Wayland was slowly pulling away, thirty-two to twenty-four. In the fourth period the Black and Orange really exploded, drop- ping in a total of twenty points, while holding Millis to six. nTuckerH Egan emerged with a grand total of twenty-nine points, while Martin Ide also got into two figures with ten. Wayland showed itself as a fourth period team, a theory that it was later to further substantiate. Our boys had a four and one record, so far, so good. If they could hold this pace, the future looked very bright. Wayland played host to Medfield High in the fourth of its league games. Medfield, as Millis, held Wayland down for the first period of play. It began to look very much like a low scoring contest, when, at the end of the first period, Wayland led by the gigantic score of four to two. In the second period, the Medfield players managed to add a basket to their score, making them four at the end of the first half, while Wayland added six whole points for a total of ten after sixteen minutes of playing. In the third period it was about the same story. Wayland added six points, to go to sixteen, while Medfield got three more to make seven. The score was sixteen to seven at the end of three periods of play. The Wayland coaches did some substituting, thus scaring some members of the Varsity into scoring a few points. The boys scored a few, and then some more. They added twenty-five to their score of sixteen, to finish with a total of forty-one. Medfield, on the other hand, duplicated Wayland's three periods of scoring, as their boys dropped in three baskets and a pair of foul shots to total sixteen. Wayland had won its most decisive victory of the campaign by twenty-five points. Our boys seemed to improve after their lone loss at Westwood. Wayland with its five and one record was due for another setback when the team played Weston High at Wayland on Friday, January 23. Weston was over- whelmingly the favorite over the Black and Orange quintet by comparative scores. The local five battled valiantly for the first three periods, but slowly went down before the savage Weston onslaught in the final stanza. The score at the ends of the periods found the Wayland boys always in the rear, even though they did take the lead at times. At the end of the opening period, Weston had scored eleven, Wayland nine. The end of the half saw Weston at sixteen and Wayland at thirteen. Wayland was pressing Weston at the end of three periods, having twenty to Weston's twenty-one. The final period made the difference. Weston forged ahead, even faster, after Tommy Egan was removed from the game because of fouls. Egan was high scorer for Wayland with nine pointsg Jack Tivnan was close on his heels with eight. For every game Wayland seemed to get at least one foot of snow. The Maynard game of wednesday, January 21, was cancelled as New England received its sixth major snow storm of the month, thus establishing a new record and running a close parallel to the six games that Wayland had played. So Jayland lost its second game in seven and dropped like a rock into third, ard, for a while, fourth place in the Dual County standings. To add insult to this Wayland injury, the Weston second team nosed out a win over the previously unbeaten .'.' ayland Jayvees. The only Waylandites to be victorious that night were the cheerleaders, as they locked horns :ith the Weston ngalsn in a shouting session. Wayland ton with superior lung power! Following the Wayland-Weston game of January 23, Wayland began preparing for the toughest week-end on its schedule. The Black and Orange court team prac- tised diligently all week, and, as a result, soundly drubbed Millis on Friday night, when it visited Wayland for a second meeting of the year. In the previous game, wayland had downed the Red and White at Millis to the tune of fifty-two to thirty. Millie had evidently improved considerably since that contest, because it had since beaten Westwood High, a team that held one of the two wins over Wayland. That meant anything could happen. Wayland started fast, scoring eleven points in the initial period to the opponents' seven. Millie came back slightly in the second period, netting eight points to Wayland's seven, so that the half-time tally stood Wayland eighteen, visitors fifteen. The Black and Orange quintet opened throttle in the two final sections and ended the game with a decisive forty-three to thirty- four triumph. So Wayland won its sixth victory of the year against only two rebuttals. On the folloting night, Wayland, once defeated on the home court, was scheduled to meet Ashland High on the resumption of the series between the two schools. Iayland was once again to try to break the famous Ashland jinx. After getting away to a slow start at the beginning of the season, the Ashland team had won four straight previous to this Sayland contest. The Wayland coaching staff, eager to break the Walker list of victories, started Bill Curley, uTuckH Egan, Harold Hynes, Charlie Russell, and Jack Tivnan, with Martin Ide and Frannie Bowers substituting in and out. Nayland set a fast pace in the opening period and held a slim eleven to ten lead at the end of the first period. uTuckern Egan and Frannie Bowers were doing most of the scoring for the locals, with Bill Curley doing his bit now and then. Tivnan and Russell were sweeping the backboards clean and setting up many plays in the Ashland zone defense. Ashland came back in the second round, scoring eight points to Wayland's threc, so, at the end of the first half, Ashland led, eighteen to fourteen. In the third period, Wayland bounced right back and tied the visiting team up at twenty-three all going into the fourth and final stanza. Wayland then dis- played the power that won the game. The boys held Ashland scoreless for five minutes, while Wayland forwards dropped in five points, the eventual margin of victory. At the automatic time-out, Wayland led, twenty-eight to twenty-three. The Ashland fellows tried to get back into the ball game after that, but were un- successful. Their shots were hitting the ceiling, and their passes were bound- ing off the wall. Wayland kept calm, and finally succeeded in breaking the Ashland jinx. This was Wayland's seventh win against only two defeats. Wayland's season was running close to that of last year. The boys didn't have the fast breaking team that they had a year ago, but they had a fairly steady, even machine that was capable of turning back most opposition. The two big guards were clearly an asset, as they controlled the rebounds for game after game. The forwards divided the points among themselves fairly evenly and played steadily on the defens On the following Tuesday Wayland was scheduled to play its third game in five days, this time with Westwood High at Wayland. Westwood was one of the two teams to hold victory over Wayland, and the Black and Orange was determined to seek revenge in this, the second meeting of the year between the two teams. Bill Curley stayed at the starting left forward post, and the rest of the line-up remained unchanged with the exception of center. Harold Hynes was still bothered at 4 H 5, v -- 7' 'wi f 35 195. ,L H555 , jx . ,,-' 'ax Ab, X g.. . Q ,, 523 450 . ' .gf .q.v,- z N .. W 'TE S. by a sore finger, and Fran Bowers moved into his position. This was evidently the guards' game because Jack Tivnan ended as the Wayland high scorer with a neat eleven points, while fourteen of Westwood's thirty tallles were credited to the guards. Wayland won, but not by much. As a matter of fact, Wayland could not have beaten Westwood by any less and still have won the game. The final score stood, despite protestations, Wayland thirty-one, Westwood thirty. This was the sec- ond game in ten that Wayland had won by only one point, and the fifth of the season the team had won on foul shots. On Friday, February 6, Wayland was to play Dover High at Dover. Some unpleas- ant rumors, as to the size of Dover's Gym and the character of the officials, had preceded the game. Wayland was prepared in part for a rough evening but never expected the situation it came up against. The fact remains that Dover outscored and outfouled Wayland, to the score of thirty-two to twenty. Wayland started off very fast, netting twelve points in the initial period to Dover's six. At the end of the second period, Dover led, fourteen to thirteen, as Wayland began to disintegrate with anger. The Black and Orange came back slightly in the third period, scoring five tallies to Dover's ten. Then, in the last section, Wayland compiled an aver- age of one point every four minutes, while Dover got two in the same period and won thirty-two to twenty. nTuckern Egan took the high-scoring honors for Wayland, netting seven points. Bowers came next with fiveg Martin Ide and Jack Tivnan brought up the rear with four points apiece. A total of twenty fouls was handed out to the two teams, with Dover winning with thirteen. The Wayland second team and the Black and Orange cheerleaders held up the Wayland honors, as they both scored flashing victories over the Dover contingents. Lenny Rodier led the Junior attack, scoring seven points as his team, all eighteen of them, coasted to a twenty-nine to twenty victory. The Wayland coaching staff vowed that for the five remaining games it wanted victories. Wayland started down the final stretch of its season on Tuesday, February 10, playing Medfield High at Medfield. The line-up for this contest changed considerably with Fran Bowers moving to forward from center. Hynes took over the Varsity position in the key slot, with Tommy Egan playing on his right. Jack Tivnan and Charlie Russell retained the Wayland guard positions. Wayland jumped into a five-point lead in the initial stanza and stretched it to seven at half time. Jack Tivnan and Tom Egan were doing most of the scoring for the Black and Orange court club as they led nineteen to twelve. The Class C Champs continued to win going away, as they added four more points to their winning margin in the third round. Medfield tried in vain to come back in the fourth period, but Wayland suppressed all attempts to damage its lead and won forty-one to twenty-five. Jack Tivnan was the Wayland high scorer with fourteen points, and NTuckn Egan was close on his heels with seven. The Wayland Junior Varsity won over Medfield's seconds, as Bert Ketchen netted sixteen tallies. The youngsters scored thirty-one points, while holding Medfield to thirteen. It could be that there is something left for next year after all. Wayland returned the Ashland compliment of a home game at Ashland on Friday, February 13. The Ashland team had been primed for this Wayland game by Coach Walker and was well ready to meet the Wayland offensive onslaught. Jack Tivnan, Wayland's sharpshooting defender, started early in the opening period to drop the apple through the strings, but Ashland's fast break scored more often. At the end of the opening period, Ashland led Wayland by a margin of one point, sixteen to fifteen. Ashland became somewhat better in the second stanza, out- scoring the Waylandites, eighteen to ten, so that they held a nine-point lead at half time. The Wayland coaches did some fast talking and explaining during the rest period, because the Black and Orange court club returned in the third period and came close to getting back in the ball game as they outscored, outplayed, and outsmarted the Ashland players. Then Way1and's joy was torn to shreds in the final stanza, as the boys just couldn't seem to connect for more than three points in the final eight minutes of play. Wayland, of course, lost, fifty-two to forty-two, more like a college score than that of a couple of Class C school- boy teams. Jack Tivnan was the Wayland scoring leader, with fifteen markers to his credit. While the Varsity was gaining the fourth defeat in thirteen starts, the Way- land Jayvees were soundly whipping the Ashland Juniors, thirty-one to twenty-two. This was the tenth win in eleven games for the Juniors and the second straight time that they had scored over thirty points, a good mark for any Junior team. Following this Ashland loss, the Wayland Varsity had just three games left to its schedule. The first of these was the Maynard game at Wayland on Wed- nesday, February l7. The locals suffered a severe setback for this contest before they even got on the floor to play it. Charlie Russell was ill with diphtheria and unable to play in any of the three games remaining on the sched- ule. The visiting team moved into such an early lead that the Black and Orange was unable to even the score until late in the final stanza. Then, with just ten seconds to go, when Wayland was holding grimly to a two-point lead, a Maynard forward knotted the score with a push shot from the side of the court. Frannie Bowers scored first in the ensuing overtime period, but the visitors came right back with a pair of baskets, thus wiruning the contest, thirty-five to thirty- three. This was the loss that closed the door on any tournament that Wayland might have had. The Wayland boys rode to Weston to return the visit paid to them by the Weston Basketeers earlier in the season. Weston was currently riding on the crest of a fifteen game winning streak and expected no trouble with the visiting Wayland club. Wayland was ready and prepared to explode. The boys did just that, as Bill Curley caught on fire and paced the attack with twenty-two markers. These twenty-two points boosted his season's total to forty-one, because he had scored nineteen points for the Black and Orange previously. Martin Ide came second in the indi- vidual scoring for Wayland with twelve points. So Wayland coasted to a forty- seven to thirty-four victory. Some fellow by the name of Bill Leatherbee dropped twenty-three markers for the home team, but we ignored that. A resume of the game showed that Wayland held a scant twelve to ten lead at the termination of the initial round, but extended it to a nine-point margin by half time. Weston improved in the third round and, at the close, had narrowed Wayland's lead down to four points, thirty-one to twenty-eight. Bill Curley fanned the flames some more in the fourth quarter, and Wayland finished the game with a thirteen-point margin of victory. This Wayland triumph not only broke the Weston streak, but handed the Maroon and Gray its first loss in league competition. For Wayland, this was the long awaited tenth win, as against five rebuttals. The final game on the Wayland schedule was coming up during the vacation week. Wayland was to meet Williams High School of Oakland, Maine, at the Boston Arena on Tuesday, February 24. The nMainiacsn had a record of twelve wins against only four defeats and were fresh from winning their county tourney in Maine. The Oakland team turned out to be a hard fighting group of big, brawny boys with a good passing attack. The Wayland club started slowly, but finally its fast break wore the visiting players down, and the locals triumphed, forty-nine to thirty-eight. Bill Curley was the Wayland high scorer for the second straight game, netting fifteen markers, while Fran Bowers and Martin Ide were close on his heels with twelve points apiece. This game finished Wayland's eleven wins, five defeats and ing Weston's streak, winning all and last, but far from least, Ashland jinx. So, all in all, and has some hope left for next of the Varsity squad were grad- tioned secdnd team did very well teen games. Who knows? Maybe one! season.

The first team lost forty to twelve, with Shirley Buckingham high scorer. The second team lost twenty-three to nineteen, with Lurana Hammond and Barbara Benson sharing an equal number of points. Peggy Dikodioa was unable to play in this game be- cause of illness. The girls showed improvement in their tactics at a meeting with Dover on February 6 in the Wayland Gymnasium. The first team defeated Dover twenty- nine to twenty-three. Peggy DiModica was in high score position with fourteen points. The second team was also victorious over the opposition with a final score of thirty to thirteen.

J 1 i K M On Wednesday, March 5, Wayland citizens at their annual town meeting voted six hundred forty thousand dollars to the School Department for the solving of some of the many problems facing the town's educational department. The School Department, after careful study, presented to the voters plans and sketches of proposed constructions which were readily approved. The plans are basicly these. The Wayland High School shall be enlarged to such an extent that it will be capable of comfortably housing its present enrollment and the expected increase that will occur during the next few years. The present high school will be extended to take care of the seventh and eighth grades of both the Cochituate and Wayland elementary schools, thus making it over into a com- bined Junior and Senior High School under one Headmaster. The High School Building Program, costing in itself approximately 3370,000 would include two distinct sections. First, the left wing would house six new classrooms and a vocational shop for the study of trades. These classrooms would be of the modern approved sizeg that is, twenty-two feet by thirty-two feet. The shop would be in the front part of the building, sixty feet in length and twenty-six feet across. It would contain the usual machinery, tools, and equipment necessary for a mechanics class. The other half of the addition, or right wing, would house the Gymnasium- Auditorium combination, containing a seventy-five by forty-eight regulation size basketball court and folding bleachers capable of seating from two to four hun- dred spectators. There would be a partition door across the center of the main Gymnasium to divide it into two individual sections in which two separate activ- ities could be carried on at the same time. The Auditorium could accommodate from eight hundred to approximately one thousand people. It is possible that many, even all of these plans will be changed before the actual construction. Architectural advancements and interference with the ath- letic fields may cause these changes. The School Department hopes to be able to use these new advantages on or before September, nineteen hundred forty-nine. Dick Dew .fx ufrf cf f-3 LJ Jin I nf M55 ff Our baseball team did not lose a game and, as a result, was invited to Fenway Park to play against Somerville High. The team put up a valiant fight, but Somerville proved too strong for us. Classmates representing us on this team were HTuckern Egan, Jack Handrahan, and Jack Tivnan. In May we were all busy preparing for the Junior Prom. This was the event of the year, and the Juniors did their best to make it a success. We decorated the gymnasium in pastel colors and created the effect of a large garden. The walls were adorned with silhouettes of boys and girls dancing. Crepe paper chandeliers covered the ceiling lights, giving an effect of prisms casting off the reflection of the sun. For this gay occasion the music was provided by Paul Ambler's Orchestra. And now at last we were Seniors. Richard Riley became Presidentg Barbara Stevens, Treasurer, Norma Tarr, Secretary, and Norman Rhodes, Vice President. Under the guidance of our Senior Advisor, Miss Merrithew, we began planning our yearbook, UEchoes.n Richard Dew was chosen Editor in chief and Norma Tarr, Business Manager. Our-newly arrived class rings added to our prestige and dignity. The members of the Office Practice Class began to obtain practical ex- perience by working in the Headmaster's office as office assistants.. This permitted them to obtain first-hand information about business procedure. The football boys had been practising energetically for weeks. They were to open their season by participating in the Hudson Jamboree. Wayland played Ashland, won a virtual victory, and then went on to play the Class D Champion, Concord. Wayland made a very good showing against Concord, but some of Wayland's key players sustained injuries. The season ended with four wins, four losses, and one tie. ' On the evening of the victorious Weston game, the Seniors introduced a new feature at their dance. Tables on three sides of the gymnasium gave a real cabaret effect, while the Seniors themselves acted as waiters and waitresses. The gymnasium was decorated in the team's colors, yellow and black. As soon as the football season ended, both boys and girls started basketball practice. The boys were coached by Mr. Nathanson and Mr. Strickland and the girls by Miss Sisson. Resting upon the laurels they won in 1946, the boys had two engagements in the Garden and one in the Arena. They were to play champion teams from other sections. The team won the first two games, defeating Kenne- bunk, Maine, by a score of twenty-nine to twenty-three and Auburn, Massachusetts, twenty to nineteen. Heanwhile the Glee Club was rehearsing for a Christmas Cantata, nPetit No5l,n under the direction of yrs. Radford, with the assistance of Miss Simpson. Many Seniors took part in this program, which proved to be a great success. A pic- turesque effect on the stage was obtained by the combined efforts of the Art, Home Mechanics, and Home Economics Classes. After Christmas vacation, four Seniors prepared for the Oratorical Contest sponsored by the American Legion. Miss O'Neil supervised the preparation of the essays and Miss Simpson coached the contestants in the delivery of the speeches. The contest was held on February 2, and Norman Rhodes was chosen winner. Norman was declared winner in the district contest held in Newton. He competed with students from Waltham and Newton. Now June has come and graduation is approaching. We look back with amus- ment at the trials and tribulations we caused and at some that we suffered. It has been said that we live for the future, not the past, so we must now take a step in that direction by securing our place in society. But no matter where we go, we shall always remember with great affection all our friends in the Wayland High School. Their merry voices that now resound afar will come back to us in UEchoes.n Peggy Dilodica Frances Hynes ECHOES Echoes of sweet mem'r1es In days when youth has fled, Return to youthful ears, And joys behind us lie, Reminding loyal hearts Echoes will then resound, Of fond and happy years.
