Tom started his baseball career in his freshman year and has occupied left field ever since. His most noteworthy assets are his hitting and agility on the base paths. Bob Keefe had held down a center field position for the past two seasons. Although diminutive in size, Bob is considered one of the fastest runners in the Northeastern Conference. He has an exceptional amount of team spirit. Buster Ouellette, lanky 3rd baseman, has been with the first club for the past two seasons. His consistent hitting is a major asset to the Indians. Tinker Hanley has very capably filled the keystone spot of the infield. His exceptional ability to field anything within reason at second base has earned him the respect of his teammates. Bill Boyle has been a veteran utility man for four seasons. Bill is particularly famous for his clutch-hitting and wonderful team play. Many a game has been pulled out ofthe fire and saved by his 9th inning hits. 86

A SM ' X :sr Amesbury High, making its start in the North Shore hockey league, dropped a 3-I decision to Swampscott at the North Shore Sports Arena, Lynn. The playing was ragged, but the Indians showed signs of improvements in their fol- lowing games. The scoring for Swampscott came in the 2nd and 3rd periods while we scored in the 2nd period. The Indians pushed the Lynn English hockey outfit all over the ice in their second start of the season but we had to return home from Lynn with a l-l tie, The Red and Gray skaters looked ragged in the first few minutes but after Red Joubert pushed one across they showed plenty of renewed spark. We were held to another stalemate in our clash with Lynn Classical. The outcome was a hard fought 2-2 tie, The Indians got rid of the jitters after a shaky start in the lst period to take a one goal lead which was flipped in by Armand Roy. Amesbury High's hockey sextet and Saugus fought ta a scoreless tie which made it the 3rd deadlock in a row for us. Saugus carried the puck I3 times to our goal but in each instance Ray Roy, senior netminder, kept the disc out of scoring position. We experienced difficulty in getting an offensive underway and showed our lack of practice sessions noticeably. The Red and Gray representatives dropped their second league game of the season to the Revere High sextet I-0 in the closing minutes of the 3rd period. We were outplayed but showed plenty of improvement in our spirited play against a bigger opponent. The Marblehead Magicians downed the A. H, S. puck- chasers by the narrow margin of 3-2. It might have been the lst victory for the Indians if it had not been for defen- sive lapses in the closing stanza. THQ? outstanding players of the day were Captain Bob Keefe and Red Joubert. I I .says A . file- . . ,gg1SQf' xv. S X Turning in its best performance of the season the A. H. S. hockey team nearly held a strong Beverly High team to a I-I tie but a long 25 foot shot by Jack Winer early in the final period gave the Garden City sextet a 2-I victory over the Indians. Beverly scored first, but the Indians tied the score in a rough second period. Beverly then broke the tie in the aforementioned manner. Continuing to show marked improvement, an underdog Amesbury High sextet kept o highly rated Peabody outfit on its toes as the Indians scored a mid-first period goal and then nearly held the Tanners before dropping a 2-I decision to the Leather City club at Lynn. Andy Black Jack Brochu was the starlight of the afternoon performance. Looking like an outfit playing its Ist game, Amesbury High's hockey sextet missed several scoring opportunities as they fell into a tie for last tplace in the North Shore Hockey League standings by losing to Salem High I-O. The only score was made by Salem's Captain Philip Richards, This lone goal came in the 3rd period. As it was expected even by the most optomistic, Gloucester High had little trouble in trouncing the Amesbury Indians 6-O in a North Shore Conference game. The Fishermen scored twice in each of the periods. Ray Roy, Amesbury goalie, made several spectacular saves and thus kept the tally down to reason. Andy Brochu and Clovis Proulx were the Big Wigs for Amesbury. With the A. H. S. Sextet two men short because of pen- alties, Danvers High slammed in a deadlocking goal mid- way during the final period and lit the Iamp with the winning tally in the final minutes of play as the Onion- towners edged the Amesbury pucksters 2-I in the final day of scheduled North Shore league ploy at the Lynn Sports Arena. The Red and Gray ended their first year in the league with an 8 lost, 3 tied record to put them in last place in the northern division. .- Nlllllgli Q 'elf
