Wilson, Bianchi, 55.91 OT 1.-It h Football The 1953 Weston High School football team was plagued by in- juries and bad luck throughout the season, and after a promising start ended with a 6 - 2 - 1 record. Before the season even started, Co-captain and fullback Fred Lyons was lost to the team with a broken arm, but nevertheless we easily won our first two games. The loss of four more key men played an important part in the loss of the next two games, but we then recovered and took the fifth and sixth contests. In the seventh game, against Chelmsford, we were determined to avenge last year's 16 - 7defeat,but we failed to take advantage of several breaks and the result was a tie. However Lynn Vocational pro- vided little opposition the following week, and we prepared for the final game of the year. On November 21 Weston met traditional rival Wayland at Bran- deis Field, Waltham. In this game ten seniors played their final football game for Weston. Bob Wilson starred, averaging 16 112 yards per carry, as we emerged the winner, 21 - 7. This year, Co-captain and quarterback Dan Melone was high scorer in the district with 55 points. End Artie Mason was third with 37. We hope that next year's team, co-captained by Dick White, Art Mason and Andy Taylor, will be aided by better luck. ln front: Donna Cugini, Winnie Barbetti, Mary Kelly.

Coach Akey Field This year the Field Hockey team was not so suc- cessful as its coach, Miss Dorothy Akey, had hoped. She drilled them three afternoons a week, teaching them new techniques and good sports- manship,but it was just one of their off seasons. Every girl who went out learned a great deal and it will surely help those coming back next year. They all tried their hardest and greatly appreciated all Miss Akey taught them. First Row A.
