It is so easy to go along from day to day, enjoying the immediate present, with little care for the future. And yet, we are not far from the time when we will have to depend upon our own judgement with little, if any, help from others. We will soon be men and women with all the duties and responsibilities that rest upon the shoulders of adults. Therefore, we must carefully and thoughtfully build for the future. How well our forefathers in the United States understood this need for care. Most of us do not seem to realize that were we living in any of the Asiatic or European countries today, we would not have the privileges which we are all willing to enjoy and yet take for granted. Let us consider the thousands of displaced persons who have come to the United States to escape the tortures of tyrannical rulers in their native lands. Do we ever stop to realize how fortunate we are to be free from want? In this country we are encouraged to improve our status, and to raise our standards of living. Under the communistic regimes, individual enterprise has been and is completely eliminated, for the government controls industry. The individual is nothing more than a number of mechanisms responsible not to himself or for himself, but to a few operators. He has no chance to improve, for individual advancement is prohibited. Other privileges granted to us who are citizens of this great country are those of freedom of speech and the press. This means that no law can be made which will abridge our freedom to speak or write what we wish. Perhaps the greatest of our personal liberties is that of religious freedom. This is a privilege which we ought to cherish deeply. Though most Americans are Christians, Congress can make no laws commanding that we attend a nationally established church. Among other privileges is the right we have to control the power of govern- ment in the United States. Of course, we cannot directly dictate our wishes to the President, but we can write to our Congressmen in Washington, and our letters will be read and our opinions weighed. The men of long ago had only crude implements. Through the ages they learned to turn these into our modern precision instruments. But these men of ancient times left structures that have stood the test of centuries because the monuments were built with care. Modern civilization calls for greater speed, we live in times that move rapidly. There is less moderation. Even so, we must never allow ourselves to go so fast in a rushing world that we will miss real values in our striving. Man is the highest form of living creature, he has worked to improve his status for centuries, but every now and then his civilization is threatened by those who would substitute flimsy structures for firm foundations. No govern- ment will survive which does not consider the dignity of man. All our building of high-powered machines and fleet rockets will avail nothing if these gifts of science are to be used by man against man. We do not want a world in which there are only two kinds of people, masters and slaves. We want a world in which every man plays a part as a builder for himself and for the world. Every in- dividual must have life, freedom, and opportunity, but all must remember there are duties as will as rights. Our education has made it clear to us that there must be vision in all building. Ifwe use every one of our school days to advantage, they will be like the bricks in the structure. They will be laid, one by one, in straight undeviating lines, and as we, the builders, ascend the ladder, we will never falter, never doubt. We will be confident,for we know that the foundation of lives and of nations is built on integrity and mutual respect. Now is the time, citizens of tomorrow, to build a firm foundation for the years to come.

A group of upper classmen greeted us in great glee and initiated us by putting us in our proper place. Billy O'Connell became our representative on the august body known as the Student Council. Barbara Daly showed that she had even then a lusty pair of lungs, for she cheered long and loudly on the Cheering Squad. We managed in spite of our size to hold our own, as you will see in the series of photographs which we have taken from successive yearbooks produced under the supervision of our senior advisor, Miss Merrithew. About mid-term we welcomed Miss C'Neil to our faculty, and before long Mrs. Kelley and Miss ?'Neil established a school paper, nThe Chatterbox.n Gladys Kooyumjian and Barbara Daly were chosen as the class reporters. School was to our liking, and before we realized it, Santa Claus had come and gone, leaving us more dignified gifts than dolls and toys of old. We appre- ciated our growth in stature and in wisdom, even if the upper classmen did not. In February we greenhorns were greeted by Mr. Radcliffe Morrill our new gegfmaster, who replaced Mr. Herbert Clark. Along about April it was quite e nitely apparent that there would be a parting of the ways, and not all the sixty-six members would go onward and upward. Our class was well represented in athletics. Over half of the class partic- ipated in basketball, football, and baseball. Not all of the players were 0 fortunate enough to make first teams, but they were the backbone of several Fighly successful teams. When June rolled around, we found ourselves in the midst of our major cam- paign, final ewamgnations. Now we knew what they meant by Hthe survival of the fittest.n .4-1-1 - -. Upon our return in September, we assumed a supercilious attitude toward the lowly Freshmen. We remarked that they were very childlike, and never had such infants been seen in our corridors before. The first term found us electing class officers and Council members. Mary Cahill and Billy O'Connell were elected to the Council. James Michael became out first president and Waldo Lawrence, our vice president. Esther Nisoet was elected our efficient secretary and George Butler, the man with the mcney. Jessie Lee revealed another of her many talents and cheered our teams on to a very successful season as our soph- omore cheerleader. Many of our students took part in two Christmas plays, one coached by Miss simpson and one by Mrs. Kelley. Joan Crimrin, James Curley, Mary Cahill, Priscilla Euckingham, and Malcolm Parrish showed themselves well versed in the histrionic art. The first play showed a happy family group, and the second depicted the age-old story of Christmas. Once again the athletfcally inclined members of our class took part in the various sports. Among these players we find an esteemed member, Martin Ide, who played in the Tech Tournament. In March, 1947, Wayland won the Class C Championship under the direction of Coach Nathanson. On March 17 we sponsored a Saint Patrick's Day Dance, our first social event in high school. Mrs. Kelley supervised as our Class Advisor. The gymnasium was gaily decorated with green and white shamrocks, colored pipes and hats typical of Ireland. Mary Cahill distinguished herself as a second Lily Pons in the Stephen Foster Operetta, which was given in the spring under the supervision of Mr. Grabau, the music supervisor. Two members of our class, Robert Vuilleumier and Betty Amos, joined a newly formed high school orchestra. Again June was upon us, and we were about to become Juniors and go up those stairs to the regions above. K -- HWY The following September found us upstairs as Juniors under the able guidance of Miss Simpson. We elected William O'Connell president, Charles Potvin vice president, Esther Hisbet secretary, and Robert Hash treasurer. Kary Cahill, James Curley and Martin Ide became our representatives on the Student Council. Martin Ide, Charles Lepine, William O'Connell, John Carroll, and Richard Marcantonio were among those who were most faithful on the gridiron, and these classmates were later recognized at the annual sports' banquet. The cheer- leaders, Grace Nailhiot and Priscilla Buckingham, also attained praise for their loud and lusty lung work. At Christmas time Mrs. Radford and Miss Simpson directed the Glee Club in the presentation of a lovely cantata entitled HPetit Noel.n Mary Cahill portrayed very effectively the role of Mary, while Herbert Smith took the part of Joseph. The Three Kings of the Orient were John Perrin, James Curley, and William Curley. Other members of the Glee Club filled in as French peasants and fishermen. The production was touching and inspired those who attended with the true spirit of Christmas. Along with the arrival of 1948 came preparation for our midwinter record hop. The coldness of the night did not prevent a large group from joining the party. In keeping with the season, the decorations featured boys and girls in skating costumes. In March the annual induction ceremony of the Francis Wayland Chapter of the National Honor Society took place. The following students of our class were happy to be chosen members of this group: Elizabeth Amos, Richard Bowers, Mary Cahill, Patricia Cooke, Joan Crimmin, James Curley, Audrey MacKeen, Theresa Mayhew, Esther Nisbet, Malcolm Parrish, Marie Weeks, Eleanor Wilson' and Priscilla Buckingham. Mary Cahill sang 'Carissiman and 'Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.n In April the Dramatic Club graced our stage with the presentation of Booth Tark1ngton's humorous comedy, nThe Fighting Littles.n Our class claimed such successful actresses as Esther Nisbet, Shirley Buckingham, Barbara Daly, and Nancy Hynes. kg? s .

We had so many lovely samples from which to make our choice that a final decision was difficult. But finally we made up our minds and settled this important matter. When the order for our rings had gone in, we began preparing for the most thrilling event of the year, the Junior Prom. The Gymnasium was a paradise of palm trees and pea- cocks. We danced in an exotic atmosphere to the music of Bert Edwards' Orches- tra. It was truly a night to remembert Along with June came the graduation of the Class of 1948. Richard Bowers and Esther Nisbet served as marshals, and the Glee Club added to the ceremony with three appropriate selections. When we returned in September to take our place on the top rung of the ladder, we found that Mr. Clement had succeeded Mr. Morrill as Headmaster. That first day Mr. Clement called an assembly so that we could get acquainted, and you know--we're mighty proud of that friendship. It is one we'll cherish for many a year. Two weeks later we were election conscious and selected our class officers. James Curley became President: Paul Sweeney, Vice President, Esther Nisbet, Secretaryg and Marie Weeks, Treasurer. For cheerleaders we chose Shirley Buckingham and Mary Cahill. Shirley became captain of the peppy squad. Yearbook committees were formed and a chairman elected for each. Mary Cahill and Priscilla Buckingham were chosen to be co-editors with Esther Nisbet as business manager. Then came the time to prepare for the Football Dance. This turned out to be a very successful affair despite the fact the Weston-Wayland game had been post- poned because of bad weather. We danced to the popular tunes played by the nCollegiates,H and refreshments were served at the tables bordering the dance floor. ' During Education Week the members of the National Honor Society put on an assembly program in which they discussed the various phases of educational development in the United States and throughout the world. We also sponsored a program dealing with the national election. Following Christmas vacation, Room 9 was in a constant flurry of activity. Under the supervision of Miss O'Neil six members from our class prepared essays for the Oratorical Contest sponsored by the Charles Alward Post of the American Legion. Our orators were Priscilla Buckingham, Gregory Petronio, Grace Mailhiot, George Muhlberg, Malcolm Parrish and Betty Amos. On February 2 these contest- ants, who had been trained in speaking by Miss Simpson, vied with each other to gain top honors. Malcolm Parrish was declared the winner. At this time two important decisions were made. The school voted to adopt a seal and to call the Yearbook, henceforth, the nRef1ector.' As we worked diligently to get our copy off to press, we congratulated ourselves that our treasured nReflectorN would be the first school publication to be graced with the new school seal. In March the Senior members of the National Honor Society conducted the in- duction ceremcny which takes place each year. In this month also the Glee Club presented Johnson and Korgan's lovely operetta, HThe Belle of Bagdad.N Mrs. Radford directed the Clee Club and other faculty members gave unlimited time in aiding the production. Senior members taking part were Mary Cahill, Esther Nisbet, Russell Bigelow, Herbert Smith, John Perrin and Priscilla Buckingham. The annual Sports' Banquet was held at Mansion lnn in the spring to honor those who participated in sports during the year. Bert Edwards' Orchestra furnished the music for dancing. All too quickly June has rushed up to tell us it is time to leave, but for us graduation will truly be a commencement. We all see a long road of life stretching before us. As some of us have not yet completed our education, we will go on to higher schools of learning. Not one of us leaves Wayland High School without feeling a strong surge of gratitude and affection for Miss Merrithew who has worked with us and spent many hours helping us compile the nReflector,n a living collection of memories which record what have thus far been Hthe best years of our lives.N Priscilla Buckingham Barbara Daly ICNQ Fifth Row: George Muhlberg, William O'Connell, Walter Smith, Richard Bowers, George Celorier, George Butler, George Cobb, Richard Marcantonio, Waldo Lawrence.

We, the Class of l949, being, as we believe, sound of mind and stout of heart, do make this our last will and testament in the presence of all those who care to accompany us through this tortuous process. Article I. To Joe Tierney and the members of his quar- tet, Paul Sweeney, Joe's other half, leaves this, his favorite atomizer, to keep Joe's delicate baritone voice in perfect pitch. Article II. Bud Lepine and Jack Carroll leave to Bob Brogan this first-aid kit containing bandages, band-aid, iodine, scissors, splints, and a booklet on nEmergency Treatment.n When the football season gets under way, Bob may be in need of them. Article III. To Ronald Bradley we bequeath a mouthpiece, so that he will come out of the next season with as many teeth as he had when he went into it. Article IV. Last year the thoughtful girls of the Class of '48 left to Malcolm Parrish an apron so that he might wait on table at all the hops. Malcolm looked hard and long for someone to step into the dainty strings and finally found a worthy successor in Ted O'Neill. Article V. George Cobb knows that every growing boy needs more than eight hours sleep a day. He has a nice, soft pillow that can be placed on a desk and insure greater comfort for a student who uishes to doze. This prized pillow George bequeaths to Lauren Peters. Pleasant dreams, Lauranl Article VI. George Butler has quite a memory for tel- ephone numbers, but as he added more and more to his list, he found that his mind was overburdened. So he collected all his valuable information in this little black book, which he leaves to Bert Ketchen. Ceorge grants to Bert the right to take out any girl in the Wayland High School, except one. Article VII. We all know Tom Dotey by his distinguished mustache. At the suggestion of his brother Francis, we leave to Tom this wax, so that he may curl the ends upward and create an even more devastating effect. Article VIII. During the past four years Russell Bigelow has proudly paraded around the school with his hair slicked down with the bear grease generously contributed by pre- ceding classes. Russell received such quantities that he has a great deal left over. This bucketful Russ passes on to a Junior who strives to have that sleek, well-groomed appearance--Donald Hobbs. Article IX. Martin Ide bequeaths tc Norman Vlass a hunting license that specifically gives Norman the right to go hunting during the football season. Article X. Four little Freshman girls do their best to drive the faculty and students crazy with their constant giggles. To these young ladies we leave this cotton, so that every time they get the urge to tee-hee, they can shove it into their mouths and so avoid the wrath of their long- suffering public. To Judy Kelsey, Sally McLellan, Audrey Emery, and Carol Davis a long life and a happy one. Article XI. Whoever keeps Santa Claus after school for being late?

Have you ever noticed how serenely Bill ' ' O'Connell makes his way around our school? We are serious when we say, Bill, ever the gentleman. There is never a quarrelsome word from Bill. We think that there is one boy 4 in our midst who can qualify as Bill's successor. To Luigi Mascia we give this symbol of peace, a U. N. portfolio. ,. Article XIII. To the three technical advisors of the high H school, Jerry Smith, Dave Kicilinski, and Walter Perrin, . .A K the Senior Class leaves all its Physics books, the labor- atory equipment, and this atom bomb. May these three is experts enjoy themselves to the utmost as they asphyxiate all the school children and rock the universe. Article XIV. Big Bill Withington, the terror of the ' Freshman Class, is always darting around like a ship without , -f a rudder. To Bill we leave this anchor so that he may move -v- with greater moderation and dignity as befits his advanced , 1 rating as a Sophomore. I .. Article XV. We, the Class of '49, leave to Betty-Lou ,, -, Spencer a rope so that she may keep a certain Senior in tow 'E' after graduation. L K Article XVI. To Paul Keith, George Muhlberg graciously f donates some of his height for the success of next year's basketball squad. Perhaps this ladder will help Paul until George can get the time to turn his height over. Article XVII. With tears in his eyes, Jack Carroll leaves his most prized possession to another who will J follow in his footsteps. He feels that his delicate 11 instrument, his pet Rex-o-graph, will be safe in the hands - er one David Kieinnski. .Q Article XVIII. We've all heard of the child who sang Am Baby's Fishing for a Dream and of the fellow that's . Q Always Chasing Rainbows, but it isn't every day that you see an acrobat race up a curtain to catch a campfire that's on its way out. To Arthur Tupper we leave this trapeze for his next performance. -f 17 Article XIX. James Curley has done quite a bit of baby 'Cf 0 V : sitting this year, and I hasten to add that he has enjoyed -.1 'S the experience. Inasmuch as Bobby Baker is also taking the same course in Child Psychology the hard way, James leaves to him these games and pacifiers. With these he Q can amuse the children and himself. A Article XX. The voices of' the faculty must be strained h in their efforts to rise above the hammers, bulldozers, and c . cement mixers incidental to the new construction. To the teachers we leave megaphones so that they may be able to ,g, reach the attentive and eager ears of the student body. 35 ' 1 ' H 1 Article XXI. Barbara Daly is always starting on a new qs ' ' - diet, which she says she is sure to keep this time. Because l .- of her vast experience, Barbara has been able to devise a Q ' f , Q formula that is sure to work. She passes this model diet Q Z' e 1 -9 on to Avis MacArthur so that Avis may circulate it through- G , out the school. I Thus having assigned all our worldly possessions to those fortunate ones we leave behind, and having secretly convened on a Slow Boat to China, we, on this tenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred forty-nine, do terminate, close, and end this our last will and testament. Signed, sealed, published, and declared in the presence of each other and our attorney, Kulinie, we herewith subscribe our names as testators for the Class of 1949.

I had no idea that ten years had passed since we were graduated from dear old Wayland High until I received your letter about the Class Reunion. Wasn't it clever of the committee to choose George Celorier's Woodridge Crow's Nest Inn for our celebration? What a delightful spot! Just see the sparkling lights of the city of Wayland far belowln uYes, Grace, little Wayland has changed a great deal. With all the noted people who are now living here, our town is almost as well-known as Boston.n nPerhaps you should add that are still living here. The members of our class have added a great deal to the prestige of our flourishing community.N 'They certainly have, and we are going to have a display of their talents this very night. I suppose you know that Billy O'Connell is vacationing here now. Have you seen his latest picture, nBe Still, My Heart.' UNO, I haven't, but they say he's absolutely divine.u nWho's that gentleman getting out of the Cadillac? Oh, I know, Malcolm Parrish, of the Parrish International Stores. Gladys Kooyumjian, his private secretary, is with him. He's such a busy executive that he conducts business everywhere he goes.n NI hear that his corporation buys all its butter, cheese, eggs and milk from Eleanor Cutler's Dairy Farm. Richard Bowers is the General Manager and director of this branch of the business. Robert Hash and his Hashaway Bakery supplies him with all his pastry. I hear that Bob has two expert accountants, Charles Potvin and George Mulhberg, to keep the accounts of Hash's Healthy, Hearty, Health Bread.W 'Nancy Hynes and Jessie Lee started a new soup works. They discovered Hynes 58th Variety and are making millions of cans for Malcolm's store.n nBarbara O'Neill does a great deal of the advertising.

His slogan is, 'Swing and Sway the Sweeney Way.' He's a second Arthur Murray.' uHave you noticed the interior decorating in the foyer, Eleanor? George must have paid thousands for this effect.n ll Oh, our old friend, Buddy Lepine, designed this interior. At the moment he's doing the White House in Washington.W nwho is that literary looking gentleman sitting over there reading a book? I don't believe that he knows we are here.' nGrace, you surely recognize George Cobb? He's the head of the Wayland City Library. He reads every book before it circulates. Isn't he scholarly looking? Let's not bother him until it is time for dinner.' nAren't the murals lovely in the main foyer?' nThey were done by Marie Weeks. She has just returned from Paris. Some of her paintings are on exhibition in the Louvre. Mary Belliveau came back with her. Mary is designing fashions for the Parisian gowns of 1960. They tell me that Rita Carter married a multi-millionaire and thinks nothing of paying 85,000 for one of Mary's creations.n 'Let's sit down on this divan and watch the guests enter. Who's that man peering at us around that column?n nYou must remember Dick Withington, super-sleuth. He's employed by the Herbert Smith Detective Agency. Between Dick and Herbie, there's nothing missed. Perhaps Dick thinks we're suspicious characters.' nOh, here comes Georgie Butler. He's coach at Weston High, you know. That's why they've been winning so many games.' nLook out the window, Grace. A big U. S. Naval Bus is driving up. Jack Carroll, the jolly tar, is at the wheel. You remember he was always talking of joining the Navy. Now he's opening the door for some Navy nurses, Lieu- tenants Barbara Daly, Theresa Mayhew, and Pat Cooke. And there's Admiral John Perrin looking as dignified as ever. Barbara is his private secretary. Theresa and Pat are superintendents in Base Hospitals in the Aleutians and in Tibet. Francis Dowey is with them. He's making scientific history, I understand, with the new flower he discovered when he was studying tropical vegetation.' uwalter Smith, Richard Marcantonio and Waldo Lawrence are getting out now. Walter has turned out to be quite an executive and is handling all the finances connected with the Inter-Planetary Rocket Plane Commission. Richard is managing the testing trail-flight end of the business. Waldo has just discovered a new defense weapon guaranteed to prevent the explosion of the atom bomb. He has made us safe from attack.n nHave all our nurses gone into the Serv1ce?n NNo, not all. Audrey MacKeen has remained in civilian life. She is con- nected with the Newton General Hospital.u nThere's Esther Nisbet hurrying around with a list. What's she do1ng?' uShe's checking to see if all the guests have arrived. Esther is the perfect secretary. At present she is the executive secretary to the Governor of the State. Joan Crimmin is also in government circles. She is a Bank Examiner. You remember how Joan liked to balance the books.' nHere we've been sitting talking about everybody else. What have you been doing yourself?n WI have the most exclusive Beautician's Shoppe in New York. It is patronized by only the elite. I employ three hundred operators and have a whole city block on Fifth Avenue. How about you,Eleanor?' . I nl am conducting an ultra-progressive grammar school out in Austin, Texas. But we must go in. I hear the enticing music of Robert Vuilleumier and his all girl orchestra. Mary Cahill of the Metropolitan Opera is to sin: for us during the entertainment.n nMy goodness, here comes a car going at a furious speed. Ken Moran, the Wayland Chief of Police, is in hot pursuit.

QAWMLW 4849 f'Of5 fs ffm! 5 ce Sfdcff cnc., as X Another season of sports began at Wayland High when our two coaches, Mr. Nathanson and Mr. Strickland, called out the baseball candidates. With eight lettermen returning, the outlook for the l948 season was quite promising. The line-up was juggled back and forth for the opening game with Newton Trade, but at game time it appeared like this: Tucker Egan, the fiery redhead, at the initial sack, John Handrahan, a reliable fielder, at secondg Jack Tivnan, the slugger of the team, at shortstopg and Ken Moran, the Juniors' pride and joy, in the hot corner. In the outfield Martin Ide held down left fieldg George Butler, a second Dom DiMaggio, patrolled center fieldg and a newcomer, Malcolm nSidn Ide, handled the right field duties. The 1948 edition of Wayland High School's baseball team inaugurated its new big-league baseball field with a six to one victory over Newton Trade School on Tuesday, April 27. Bert Ketchen, a southpaw, got the starting assignment and lived up to expec- tations by blinding Newton with a one hitter. Newton didn't even see the ball until the ninth when finally Frank Bitsoli hit a sharp single to left. Our curve baller was a bit unsteady at first, but settled down to strike out six batters and force the others to ground out to the infield. Fran Bowers led Wayland's attack with a perfect day at the plate, getting three hits in three trips. Ken Moran was the defensive star, accepting over five chances without an error. Wayland played its second game of the season at Ashland on April 30 and won by superb pitching and excellent fielding. The score was nine to nothing. Fran Bowers, starting his first varsity game as a pitcher, pitched a six- hit ball game to blank the hostile forces. He allowed only one man to reach third, and that was with two out in the ninth. Jack Tivnan and Mac Ide sparkled on the defense. Mac Ide made a great catch in deep right field. Big Jack Tivnan made some neat plays in deep shortstop. George Butler paced the hitting attack with three hits while Mac Ide chipped in with two. Ed Gilman looked good for the losers, striking out sixteen bat- ters, but poor fielding proved his undoing. On May 4 the Wayland High baseball team won its third in a row, taking a nine to four victory nod over a powerful Alumni team. Bert Ketchen and Fran Bowers worked on the hill for the high school, while Sam Strickland and Frank Gladu hurled for the losers. The game featured many excellent fielding plays on the part of Tom Egan, Ken Moran, Martin Ide, and Jack Tivnan. Bert Ketchen was the winning pitcher and Sam Strickland, the loser. Martin Ide led the hitting attack for the high school with three solid raps to left field. Frank Gladu had two bingles for the Alumni. Mac Ide continued to belt the ball and chipped in with two hits for the day's effort. Wayland tipped Maynard on May 7 by bunching all its runs in the third inning to go on to win by nosing out Maynard three to two. It was the twenty-second victory for the flying Waylandites. Dick O'Brien, a curve baller, got his first win of the year. Jack Tivnan came up with one-half of Wayland's hits by singling sharply to left twice in a row. On May ll on the home field Wayland extended its winning straight games by whipping Dover seventeen to one behind southpaw, Bert Ketchen. The Cat, as he is formally known scattered eight hits for his second mound decision. Dover errors, and its hurlers gave up fifteen bases on balls Bert Ketchen and Bill Curley each got two hits apiece. streak to twenty-one the pitching of that in baseball circles, was guilty of eleven to help the winners. At Concord, May 19, 1948, the Middlesex nine broke Wayland's consecutive win streak at twenty-one, the longest in the state. Bert Ketchen started on the hill for Wayland, but because of poor support and his own wildness, he didn't last long. Fran Bowers came in and relieved his teammate. However, Middlesex seemed to have magnetic bats because all the pitches that baffled every other team seemed to hit Middlesex' bats. Bill Curley, our catcher, led Wayland at bat with two hits for four trips to the plate. The final score was eleven to four. On May 25 Wayland exhibited its star pitcher, 'Mouse' O'Brien, for the second time of the current season. As expected, 'Mouse' put Ashland down with two hits and struck out sixteen batters. He also struck out the side in order in the second and fifth innings. Gilman, Ashland's pitcher, was the stick- in-the-mud for he struck out thirteen of Wayland's nmurderers' row.' Our dashing shortstop, Jack Tivnan, led Wayland's assault with one hit for two trips to the plate. The Wayland boys won by a score of four to two to keep their names in baseball circles and to be a credit to their coach, Mr. Nathanson. The Wayland baseball team, playing at Wayland on May 29, continued on its fast pace by beating arch-rival Weston seven to two, behind the tricky curves of Fran Bowers, the carbon copy of his brother 'Buzz.n A large crowd attended and witnessed many fine fielding plays by Jack Tivnan and nTucker' Egan. Billy Curley was excellent behind the plate and collected two hits to lead the team to its decisive victory. Wayland H1gh's rampaging nine completed a very successful season on June 2 at the home field by trimming the previously undefeated Hopkinton with an impressive twelve to one score. It was Fran Bowers who again turned the trick for the locals. His three hitter marked his third consecutive victory. Catcher Bill Curley led the locals with two hits, one a long double to left.

CQUQJSQ L me S X The Wayland High football season opened Saturday, September 25, at the home field in a tilt with a strong well-balanced Howe eleven. The Howe boys had already two games under their belt and were ready to walk away with an easy victory. The visitors proved they were a good team as they smashed forty yards through tackle on the second play of the game. In less than two minutes of play they were leading six to nothing. The nYellow Jacketsn came back strong but were not able to score. The Wayland defense could not seem to hold the strong off tackle play of the nGreen Waven from Billerica. At half time the scoreboard read Howe thirteen, Wayland zero. After a pep talk during half time, the nGolden Tornadoesn came roaring back to show Howe some good football. They pushed the visitors back to the Wayland forty-seven yard line. Here halfback HSleepyn Ide slipped through the line and dodged fifty-three yards for a touchdown. With less than a minute to play, the Wayland offense rolled down to the Howe one-yard line where Bill O'Connell carried across only to have the play nullified by an off side penalty. The game ended here with the local boys trailing six to twenty. On Saturday, October 2, the Wayland High grid team, still smarting from a twenty to six defeat at the hands of the powerful Howe team, traveled to westboro to meet a favored Westboro eleven. Wayland kicked off and the game was underway. Westboro received, ran to its thirty-five and, after a series of downs, punted. Wayland now had the ball and showed who was master, the boys went down the field opening up holes in the Westboro defense. After gaining a first down on the fifty-yard line, Wayland marched to the two-yard line, where Martin Ide crashed through for the first score of the game. George Butler split the uprights, and the score stood at seven to nothing at the half. 1 i -i .

There Westboro bucked over for its lone tally of the after- noon. Westboro's kick was shy of the uprights,,and Wayland led seven to six, going into the last period of the game. Wayland went back on the offensive with the line tearing the opponents' line in two. The team began to roll and a pass to George Butler was good on the twenty-five where he displayed the best bit of broken field running shown thus far this year. He scored standing up. His kick was short of its mark, and the game ended with Wayland out in front by a score of thirteen to six. This was the second time in three years that the Wayland grid team beat Westboro. Wayland tied Westboro once. For the third game of the year the Wayland team traveled to the athletic field at Millis. Millis was said to be an easy gare, but soon proved to be otherwise. The Millie boys received the kickoff and traveled in three plays to Way- land's door where they soon put it over for their first score. A bewildered Wayland team realized its mistake. Trailing six to nothing, the Wayland team set sail for the far goal line. A few minutes later the fans saw Martin Ide cross into the end zone and George Butler kick the point to put Wayland ahead seven to six. O'Connell scored the second Wayland touchdown on a crash through the middle. This time Butler's try was not goody Wayland retired to the locker room at the half with a thirteen to six score. Soon after the second half started, the Millis boys tied the score in much the same way they had scored their first. Wayland, again in possession of the ball, decided to give it to Martin Ide, who shot through the line for ten yards and a score. He also ran for the extra point. The score was twenty to thirteen. With less than three minutes to play, George Butler snagged a pass from O'Connell to score, with Ide kicking the extra point. Wayland High lost its second game in four starts by losing to Maynard. Maynard's first score was a Higgins to Robinson to Viola pass from the ten-yard marker to make the score six to nothing. Maynard scored again when Wayland was penalized, and Maynard had the ball on the one-yard line first down. Alberti scooted off tackle to score, making it twelve to nothing. The second conver- sion was good to make the score thirteen to nothing at the half. The Wayland lads came out for the second half full of confidence for they had taken everything a good Class C team could throw at them. Now it was their turn to do some pitching. And they did just this by marching to Maynard's four-yard line twice, only to lose the ball both times. The first half was Maynard's but the WGolden Tornadoesn took over in the second. Wayland's fifth game of the season was played on October 25, at the home field, against a powerful Medfield eleven. The opposition had four straight victories and wanted a fifth. The first half was hard fought. George Butler intercepted a pass, then sailed into the end zone with a pass from Tupper to send the home team ahead six to nothing at the half. Early in the second half Butler snagged a pass from Martin Ide and skirted the remaining distance for his second touchdown, but missed the point after. After an exchange of kicks, Butler broke into the clear, received a pass from Curley and jaunted to his third score. The kick was perfect. Medfield received the kick and started a drive which covered eighty-eight yards and ended on the twelve. Here Wayland took overg soon after Tupper faded back for a pass. He let go with a perfect strike to Butler. This ended a hard fought afternoon of football and declared Wayland the winner with a twenty-five to nothing verdict. On October 30 the Wayland High team traveled to Ashland, a town which had seen many heartbreaks for Wayland's teams. Ashland was a good team when it was complete but many of the first string players were out due to injuries. The Wayland boys were also handicapped by injuries for six of the starting eleven weren't even in uniform. As a result,the two teams were on even terms, although Ashland had a slight advantage in having the better backfield. Ash- land had previously lost four straight games, while Wayland had won two and lost three. On the first kickoff, Ronald Bradley, star guard, received an injury which caused him to be taken from the gameg thus only two of the initial linemen were available for this game. Ashland had received the kick and started to advance the ball into Wayland territory before the game was a period old. Ashland gained a lead when Warren Smith out through tackle to put Ashland ahead seven to nothing at the half. The second half opened with the aggressive Wayland team in possession of the ball, but soon the Ashland team capitalized on an interception of a Curley pass. After several plays nPorkyH Carlson broke off tackle for the second score of the game. Smith's kick was perfect and the score stood at fourteen. Late in the last quarter the Ashland team again turned on the heat when the youngest of the Carlson brothers skirted the Wayland left tackle for the last score on a long run. Smith proved to have a perfect day when he kicked the extra point for a twenty-one to nothing victory for Ashland. The day was not entirely lost because Wayland found a new center in fresh man Jimmy Ide during this upsetting defeat. The Wayland eleven lost its fourth game of the season as Westwood won a tight ball game, seven to six. There was no score for the first two periods, but early in the third, Wayland's Jimmy Curley, after a thirty-yard drive, threw a pass to Marcantonio in the end zone for the only score. Martin Ide kicked wide of the mark. Wayland was ahead six to nothing. In the final quarter Westwood put on a drive of forty yards and scored on an end zone pass to Saalfelder to tie it up six all. Westwood's big fullback crashed off tackle to make the score seven to six in favor of Westwood. On Thanksgiving morning Coach Joe Nathanson's NYellow Jackets' traveled to Boston University's field to meet undefeated Weston. It was an even battle through the first period, but as time progressed, the powerful Weston eleven showed supremacy over the crippled Wayland line. The only standbys without injury were Smith, Place and Bourette. The injured list consisted of Carroll, Bradley, Lepine, Butler and Lupien, while O'Connel1 was playing with a sprained ankle and Curley a sprained back. In the backfield the starting lineup stood with Curley at quarter, O'Connell at full, Marcantonio at left half and Ide at right half. Curley passed early in the second period only to have the ball intercepted by the big Weston center, Pete Green, on the Weston forty. After two plays, Weston was on the Wayland twenty-five where Van Leer picked up seven yards. Barker went around right end on a reverse for the touchdown, Colpitts kicked the point. Later in the period the Wayland boys pushed deep in their own territory where Ide punted the ball to the Wayland thirty-two. After three plays Bob Toland hit right guard for the remaining one yard and the second score. Colpitts again split the uprights and Weston led fourteen to nothing at the half. !WQ ES'. 11323 . w J 4 -41, Y -iii W 5 'Oil' 5 'Q sex,- 6oi.. '- Y L. Q 'Q1 : 4'f.qfly' 1 N.

In the first half both teams appeared to need quite a bit of practice before they would begin to click. The starting line-up for this first game was Captain Martin Ide at left forward, nLefty' Bert Ketchen at right forward and Fran Bowers at the center post. Big George Butler and Paul Sweeney guarded the back court. The fast Wayland quintet had little trouble in defeating Cambridge School. Bert Ketchen led the five in scoring with fourteen points, Fran Bowers fol- lowed with twelve points. The final score saw Wayland trouncing Cambridge forty-eight to nineteen. The Wayland Junior Varsity won over the Cambridge Seconds twenty-nine to twenty-one, with Bob Hash tossing in no less than twenty-one points. On December 21 Wayland entered the second game of the season with its foe, Maynard. During the first half the play resembled that of a football game, but seemed to calm down in the last half. The pace was so rough that the score was kept at a minimum. At the end of the first period the score was four to four, but the speed of the Wayland team soon broke.the game wide open to the tune of thirty-two to fifteen. The line-up was the same for this game as it was for the Cambridge School fray. Fran Bowers was high scorer, picking up eleven points for the home team. The Wayland Jayvees were triumphant again. Roland Whelchel tossed in three field goals and two foul tries to be high scorer for the Seconds. On December 31 the Wayland quintet traveled to the Boston Arena to face a strong Lincoln Academy of New Castle, Maine. With the same starting line-up of two previous games, Wayland took command from the opening tap off and had a fifteen to seven lead at the end of the first period. The pace continued at the same speed throughout the game with Wayland winning by a score of forty five to twenty-eight. Martin Ide was leading scorer with fourteen points, while center Junior Bowers scored twelve and guard George Butler scattered ten. It was Wayland's third consecutive win of the year without a loss. On January 4 Wayland played host to an improved Millis team. The first period of this play was the poorest exhibition of shooting Wayland has shown so far this year. During the time out Coach Strickland gave the boys a jab in the arm, and at the end of the half Wayland felt safer leading nineteen to nine. The team really started rolling in the last half and d1dn't stop until it hit fifty. When the final whistle blew, the score saw Wayland leading Millis fifty-one to nineteen. The line-up was the same as the previous wins, and Fran Bowers led the team by popping nineteen points to lead both teams as high scorer. The Jayvees came through again under the capable direction of Al Thomas. They defeated the Millis Jayvees thirty-three to seventeen. nRolyn Whelchel again led the team by tossing in thirteen points. On the night of January 7 Westwood visited the Wayland gymnasium before a sellout crowd. Wayland had the usual starting line-up of Ide and Ketchen at forwards, Bowers at center, and Sweeney and Butler at guards. The home in the third period. the Wayland lads put boys started slowly and then roared away in high gear With Martin Ide leading the way with twenty-two points, on a dazzling display of ball handling and defensive play to down the visitors forty-three to twenty-two. The Jayvees continued undefeated with a twenty-one to twelve victory. Roland Whelchel was high scorer with twelve points. The Wayland quintet traveled to Medfield on January ll to face a winless Medfield five. After a slow start the Waylandites got rolling and the score x Q began to climb skyward. The first forward line was red-hot and gained fifty- eight points with Captain Martin Ide accounting for twenty-two, Junior Bowers for eighteen, and Bert Ketchen for sixteen. The guards, although not hitting the scoring column too much, put on a dazzling display of ball handling and play making. The final score of seventy-two to twenty-two was the highest score achieved by a Wayland team for many years. The second team continued in the unbeaten ranks also with an impressive twenty-six to twenty-one victory. Roland Whelchel was high scorer with twelve points and was followed by Al Locke with seven points. Once again Wayland traveled to the Boston Garden. On this fatal day of January 14 Dover High was the opposition for the Wayland team. The pace was immediately set on high, and both teams gave their utmost in the first half. Wayland left the floor leading twenty to twelve, but this lead was soon cut once the teams started play again. The fast Dover five brought the score up to a tie, and with only thirty seconds left to play, Charlie Bean dropped a foul through the strings to put the game on ice. Dover froze the ball for the remaining seconds. This was the first game Wayland lost this season and also the first game ever lost by a Wayland five in Boston. The Wayland five was entertained by the Cambridge School five on January 18. This was the second game of the season between the two teams, and again Wayland was favored to hand Cambridge another defeat. The Wayland five was slow starting, and Cambridge School was much improved since the previous game with Wayland. Bert Ketchen spent the afternoon swishing in sensational one-handers from his position at right forward. This boy popped ininineteen points for the Wayland cause, and Fran Bowers accounted for fifteen po nts. The Wayland second team chalked up another win, defeating the Cambridge Jayvees twenty-one to seven. Wayland traveled over to Weston on January 21 to play last year's champions of the Dual County League. Weston, Dover, and Wayland were tied for the leader- ship in the League for this season. The game would automatically eliminate either Weston or Wayland from this tie. Weston pulled away to an early lead, but by half time Wayland had come up to a fifteen to fourteen score with Weston leading. Returning to the floor, the two teams kept the score about even with Weston scoring first and then Wayland countering with a basket. The crowd went wild as the score was so close, and neither team appeared able to pull into the lead to any great extent. Soon the Wayland quintet caught on fire. With Martin Ide and George Butler showing the way, the Waylandites pulled away from the Weston five to go on and win forty to thirty-one. Fran Bowers was high scorer for this game with eight- een points. Wayland's second team went down in defeat before Weston's strong Jayvees. This was the first loss of the season. The Westonites saw victory to the tune of thirty to nineteen. On January 25 Ashland took to the road and visited the Wayland High School Gymnasium. Ashland has been a menace to Wayland teams for the last few years. The first half showed a dazzling display of passwork from the guards to the forward wall. Fran Bowers spent the afternoon pushing one-handers from the bucket and racked up nineteen points. Martin Ide followed closely with thir- tgen points. The final whistle saw Wayland's five winning fifty to twenty- ree. The Wayland Jayvees dropped a heartbreaker, losing to the Ashland Jayvees twenty to seventeen. On January 28 the Wayland Quintet played the Millis five at Millis. The Millis team had improved since the last meeting with Wayland and seemed to show more fight than in the previous game. Wayland pulled away to a fast lead, and at the end of the first period, the score stood Wayland eleven, Millis four. The game then blew wide open and it was a fight to see which team would outscore the other. At the half the tally stood thirty-three to twenty, with Wayland in the lead. r E N l F O . -..lic .. , - ................ Martin Ide and Bart of Millis seemed to be having an individual scoring duel, for Bart popped thirty points, while Martin Ide of Wayland swished through twenty-nine points. The final score saw Wayland winning sixty-five to fifty- three. The second team added another to its string of wins by handing the Millis Jayvees a forty-four to twenty-seven defeat. Roland Whelchel was again high scorer with fourteen points for Wayland. On February l the Wayland team and coaches boarded a bus and journeyed over to Westwood. Not many fans followed the Wayland boys to this game, even though the team had lost only one game and always played well, whether winning or losing. Westwood jumped into the lead and stayed there all during the first half. The Westwood team again started to pull away, but the Wayland five just would not give. Wayland was within one basket when the final whistle blew. After the game one of the Westwood players was awarded a free toss for a foul, and this made the score Westwood thirty-three, Wayland thirty. The Wayland Seconds won another, handing Westwood's Jayvees a defeat of twenty-nine to fourteen. The attack was spirited by Mac Ide and Art Tupper. On February 4 the Wayland hoopsters were hosts to the Medfield quintet before the usual full house in the Wayland Gymnasium. The Wayland team, paced by Junior Bowers, set a hot pace from the start and literally nburned up the flooru with fast snappy plays that hopelessly outclassed the visitors. Four of the five starting players for Wayland broke into double figures. Junior Bowers led the way with twenty markers, Martin Ide accounted for sixteen, while George Butler and Bert Ketchen tossed in thir- teen and twelve points respectively. The final score was Wayland sixty-five, Medfield twenty-three. The Wayland Seconds also chipped in with a victory of twenty-two to sixteen. Boland Welchel was high scorer with twelve points. February 8 turned out to be a disastrous day for the Wayland quintet. At Boston Garden the Waylandites took another slim loss at the hands of Dover. Wayland just couldn't find the range or make the breaks as the opposition grabbed a slim lead and hung on to it to take a thirty to twenty-four decision. Bert Ketchen and nJunioru Bowers each had seven points. The game was close most of the way, but the Wayland Team couldn't match the shots that Dover sank. Thus Wayland was beaten with a third loss against eleven wins. Friday, February ll, turned out to be the most upsetting night game of the season. Wayland had a record of eleven wins and three losses and was expected to win by a good score. But just as soon as Ashland got the ball and began to work, Wayland was in for a good ball game. with nPorkyn Carlson shooting long shots, Ashland forged ahead and led throughout the game. Wayland's high scorer was Martin Ide with sixteen points. nJunioru Bowers came in second with six points. High scorer for the game was HJacku Shaughnessy of Ashland with nineteen points. The Wayland team was working fairly well, but just couldn't make its shots count while Ashland was sinking them from all angles. The final score was Ashland forty-nine, Wayland forty. The Wayland Seconds, playing one of their best games of the season, won easily over the Ashland Seconds, who had previously beaten them. Led by nRolyn Whelchel with fifteen points, the Jayvees won by a thirty-three to twenty-four score. Hale High School of Stowe, starting its first year of basketball, came to Wayland for a game on the fifteenth of February. After the opening tap off, it was merely an exhibition. The Stowe team was hopelessly outclassed. Bert Ketchen scored twenty-two points for Wayland. The first five were only in the game about half the time while the subs flocked into the game. The final score was fifty-six to twenty. On February 18 Wayland played host to the greatly improved Weston quintet. This team led the Wayland five almost all the way through the last game, but lost in the final chapter as the Wayland team put on a spurt to defeat the Weston five. The accurate shooting of the forward line, which consisted of Bowers, Ide, and Ketchen, made the fans realize that they were watching e ball game. They Tad seldom seen such passing and play making in high school basketball. Coach Strickland allowed the first team to play almost the whole game and built up a substantial lead before :ending in substitutes for the three seniors. Tayland closed the season :ith a shining victory of fifty-six to thirty-six over the Heston team. Hayland had e record of thirteen wins and four losses.

Although the Natick High School girls played a good game with a close score to the last inning, the Wayland girls were victorious with a score of twenty-two to seventeen. Wayland met Natick again the following week and chalked up another victory. This game was a thriller all the way through.

For several days only a few reported for practice, but when the girls saw what fun hockey is, a large number came out faithfully every night. Those reporting for the team were Isabel Weirs, Patricia Cooke, Mildred Sherman, Barbara Daly, Patricia DiModica, June Lundy, Diane O'Neill, Sally Bamforth, Eileen Costello, Carol Davis, Myrtice Barr, Shirley Bentley, Bernadette Houston, and Barbara Tarr. Members of the Senior Class who made first string attachments were Pat Cooke and Barbara Daly. On October 16 the girls held a meeting and elected Shirley Bentley captain and Isabel Weirs manager. The first season of the launching of hockey didn't prove to be too successful, but the girls played with zest and spirit. The first game was played October 15 with Weston as guest. After a hard fought battle, Weston proved the victor. In the first half Weston pooled three goals, which wasn't too bad a record for the defensive team still in its infancy. The second half showed an improvement in the Wayland play, however, Weston scored three more goals to make the final tally six to nothing. The following week Weston was host to the Wayland eleven. The Wayland team showed improvement over the previous meeting and was able to hold the Townies down to a three to nothing victory. The girls came home encouraged with their three goal betterment and reported to practice during the next week with high ambitions. Next on the list was Natick, and the Wayland girls planned to carry off the honors. During the week the girls had a scrimmage with The Merry Mothers, who proved superior to Wayland. On October 29 Wayland played host to Natick for the third tilt of the season. This was a happy occasion for the Black and Orange. The girls played core was nothing to nothing. and play, and the girls went the first win of the season. Barbara Devine, with the aid goal.

The next game was postponed due to inclement weather. It was finally played at Memorial Field, Natick, on the following Friday, November 12. The day was cold and wet and the field was very muddy. With a victory already under their belts, the Wayland girls went out full of confidence. This game was hard fought all the way. The team returned home with a few new bumps and bruises and a scoreless tie. The girls enjoyed their first taste of field hockey and look forward with enthusiasm to next season which will be a successful one as far as spirit and sportsmanship are concerned. They hope that the scores will also spell success.

The importance of efficient HHH: guarding was stressed and much practice was given to that feature. The for- IWI wards practiced new plays, effective passing and new shooting techniques. Ifwwx After a consideration of each girl, the following were assigned starting ,Jmwwy positions: Shirley Buckingham, Theresa Mayhew, Barbara Benson, forwardsg Pat in 'f Cooke, Barbara Daly and Myrtice Barr, guards. The first game on the schedule was with Concord at Concord on January 4. In this game the starting six were Barbara Daly, Pat Cooke, Myrtice Barr as guards and Theresa Mayhew, Shirley Buckingham, and Barbara Benson as forwards. Wayland was out for its first victory, but Concord had other ideas. After 5,5 a hard fought first half, Wayland trailed twelve to twenty-two. In the third L,..ioeriod the Wayland guards held Concord down to only one more basket and a foul shot. In this period the Wayland forwards scored ten points to make the score twenty-two to twenty-five. But in the last period Wayland was unable to score again, and Concord went ahead to win thirty-eight to twenty- 'two . The Jayvees also suffered a trouncing by Concord, losing forty to twenty- one. The Wayland girls' second game was played at Natick on January ll. Pat Cooke, Barbara Daly, and Myrtice Barr were guards with Theresa Mayhew, Barbara Benson, and bhirley Buckingham at the forward posts. Isabel Weirs substituted at forward. At the end of the first period Wayland led by one point, seven to six. At the half time whistle Wayland was behind seven to ten. In the third period Wayland made one basket and Natick scored on one foul shot. Going into the last quarter Wayland trailed nine to eleven. In that period Natick got one basket and a foul shot to boost its score to fourteen. Wayland was unable to score and gave a fourteen to nine victory to Natick. Of the nine points scored by Wayland, Theresa Nayhew was high with seven points. The second team put up a hard fight against Natick but lost sixteen to thirteen. Carol Davis was high scorer for the second team. The game with our rival at Weston, January 18, was eagerly awaited by the Wayland girls. This year they were determined to win and so win they did. It was a hard fought battle all the way. Weston matched Wayland basket for basket. At the end of the first quarter Wayland had a very slim lead over Weston, six to five. In the second quarter the Wayland girls didn't score, but Weston came across with one basket and a foul shot to lead eight to six at the half. During the rest period some fast explaining and planning were done. A new zoning was to be used by the guards. This zoning proved most effective. In the third period the new guarding held Weston to one foul shot. Our forwards came through with two baskets and two foul shots. Going into the last period Wayland led twelve to nine. It was still anyone's game. But Wayland sewed it up in the fourth period. The score was tied thirteen to thirteen when Shirley Buckingham sank three more foul shots to give a three-point lead. Then Barbara Benson dropped in another marker to make it eighteen. Captain Buckingham really saved the game for Wayland with five of the most needed foul shots to put her team in the lead. For the first time in years Wayland had beaten its rival, Weston. Theresa Mayhew was high once again with seven points. She was closely followed by Barbara Benson who made six. On January 25 the Cambridge School of Weston acted as host to the Wayland sextet. The inability to play on a large court had proved lethal for Wayland at Concord. However, the girls were fast becoming accustomed to large courts and played with greater assurance. The first quarter got off to a fast start and Wayland nmade hay while the sun shone.n Eight points were added to match six for Cambridge. The two minutes at quarter time proved to be quite appropriate as the home team began to weaken under the strong opposition shown by Cambridge. The second quarter was slow moving and neither side gained a point. K x 7 ,y N4 1 53-N a w k J Ma lgfwmw 1 K Q5 K A pep talk was given at half time. With renewed vigor the girls returned ready for,a hard struggle. Cambridge turned on the heat and tossed in four markers to Wayland's one foul. This put Cambridge in the lead with one point. Time was all important and it seemed to be playing right into Wayland's hands. The whistle for round four blew. Slowly but surely Wayland put into operation all plays available, but it was futile. Then time was called with two minutes remaining to play. Captain Buckingham gave a few words of warning and Wayland was off. Shirl Buckingham let loose with a long shot which connected. The whistle blew and Wayland was the victor with a final tally of ten to eleven. The girls were pretty weak and tired but supremely happy over winning the second game. This evened the record two and two. Theresa Mayhew was,high with six out of ten. The Jayvees weren't as fortunate and lost twelve to twenty-six. High scorer was Lurana Hanmmnd with seven of the eleven points made. The following week Wayland matched Cambridge on the home court. The line- up had Patricia Cooke, Myrtice Barr, and Barbara Daly as guards and Theresa Mayhew, Shirley Buckingham, and Barbara Benson as forwards. This'was a repeat performance of the previous week and a fast start was given to the first quarter. At the end of the first half the score was six to six. Round two again was a no marker for both sides. Miss Sisson gave a speech and, when the whistle blew, Wayland was ready and waiting. It was a two-point gain for Cambridge and Wayland remained the same at six. Quarter time had lapsed and the score was eight to six in favor of the opponents. ' Discussion was underway and plans were made. Cambridge had the same idea and chalked up another two markers. Wayland retaliated and fired in two fast hoops which connected. The ball returned to the hands of the opposition, and the zone guarding was highly successful at this point. It didn't allow any- thing to get by except a penalty shot. Wayland had its big chance and had to make it count. Through the hoop went the ball and Barbara Benson was the hero of the day. The rebound fell to the hands of the home team and there it was frozen until the final minute had lapsed. Once again the score was ten to eleven. Barbara was high with five of our eleven points. The younger members had an improvement but not enough to match Cambridge's twenty to their own ten. The date was February ll. The team was Natick. The place was Wayland, and the time was 3 o'clock. The line-up remained the same as the previous week. The Wayland girls notched their fourth consecutive win as they marched over Natick via the tally twenty-seven to eighteen. The first half was fast, and at half time the score was eleven to ten in favor of Wayland. The girls were complimented by Miss Sisson on the pep and vigor shown in play. With renewed spirit they began the third quarter. Natick gained a couple of markers, but Wayland pulled away to go on and up. Theresa Mayhew chalked up seventeen of the final twenty-seven to be called high scorer of the day. The Junior members were victorious for their first win of the season with a final tally of eighteen to thirteen. Marie Curley took scoring honors and credited ten out of eighteen points. On February 18 Weston trekked to Wayland for its second clash of the season. Having already defeated Weston once, Wayland was set to make it a couplet. On the court for the first whistle were Patricia Cooke, Myrtice Barr, and Barbara Daly as guards, with Shirley Buckingham, Theresa Mayhew, and Barbara Benson at the forward positions. In the first half Wayland literally trounced the Townies, but got quite a surprise at the end of the third to find that the score had crept close. After a rest, Wayland wasn't so sure of a sweeping victory. Every move was cautious and hearts stood still. Time was creeping up, and the score was sixteen to seventeen in favor of the opponents. As luck would have it, Weston fouled and Wayland was given two free shots. Theresa Mayhew was to be the lucky lady to clinch a victory for Wayland. She did precisely this and got two rlngers to put her team ahead by a point. Again the Black and Orange was in possession of the ball and no chances were taken. There it remained until time ran out. Top honors went to Shirley Buckingham for ten of the eighteen points and a victory marker is credited to Theresa. A happy and victorious Wayland six retired from the ranks to bolster a two and five record. This is the best record for a decade or more. Two victories over the arch rivals were an accomplishment in themselves. Four members of the Forty-Niners who saw action for the last time in the Weston game were Pat Pooke, Barb Daly, Terry Mayhew, and Shirl Buckingham. The Junior Varsity triumphed with a twenty-two to fourteen decision. Betty Smith was top girl with a record of fourteen points in spite of her injured finger.
