THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION FIELD HOCKEY The Field Hockey Girls have had a very hard but successful season. This is the first time for three years that the girls have succeeded in defeating Winthrop and winning the Champion- ship. We feel that much credit is due Miss McCarthy, the coach, who lias worked hard and faithfully all the fall. The girls showed their strength at the beginning of the season by defeat- ing Stoneham 4 to 0 and Winchester 4 to 0. They improved steadily during the fall and defeated Winthrop at the end of the season. This game was played on Manchester Field, Winches- ter. Thus, neither team had any ad- vantage over the other. This season ended happily with a banquet given to the girls by the women teachers of the school. There were a number of songs and poems read which were fitting to the occasion. Each girl was presented with a box of chocolates given by Mr. N. T. Hardy of Arlington. The following is a list of games and scores played this year: Arlington, 3, vs. Dedham, 0. Arlington, 0, vs. Watertown, 0. Arlington, 0, vs. Wellesley, 0. Arlington, 3, vs. Lexington, 1. Arlington, 1, vs. Winthrop, 0. Total score: Arlington, 19 Opponents, 1 The girls who received their “A’s” are : Margaret Smith, Captain Ruth Wadman, Manager Anna Hardy Mary Ahearn Fiona Braithwaith Ruth Dugaan Mary Mahoney Grace Ogilvie Pauline Giblin Anna Fellows Helen Lane Ruth Wadman, ’25, Manager. FOOTBALL When Coach Henricus called out the football candidates this fall, forty-one reported, forty of whom had never played on a school team before and the other, Walter Dale, a 1922 letter man. With this material, Mr. Henricus, our new coach, began his effective sys- tem that put Arlington on the football map. A winning team this year could hardly be expected, but the improve- ment was so notable that the towns- people began to take interest. The business men of Arlington appreciated

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 19 ASSEMBLIES We have had some fine assemblies this year. Among- those that stand out in our memory is the Student Gov- ernment Assembly in charge of Fred Ryer, with Phyllis Blake, Charlotte Hickey, Robert Thompson, Leslie Winelienbaugh and Brainard Hughes speaking. Another impressive assembly was that on Armistice Day, with John De- vine presiding and Marjory Manning, Fred Andries, Amlrina Kenney, and Arthur Lane leading us to consider the significance of the day. The students were delighted on that occasion to hear Mr. Riley from the American Le- gion, Mr. Parker and Major Knowles from the Grand Army. Mr. Parker is an old and dear friend of Arlington High School students, and is always warmly welcomed. The Thanksgiving Assembly was in charge of one of Miss Riley’s Sopho- more English Classes with Francis Keefe presiding, and Edith Chamber- lain, Doris Munroe, Dorothy Sweetser, Charlotte Horton, Edna Kelley, Marion Gillis, Eleanor Rice, Fannie Adolpli- son, and King Rugg took part in the programme. We have also had assemblies on thrift, prevention of accidents, and on January 8, Mr. Johnson, a Boston busi- ness man, spoke to us of the way high school students should apply for posi- tions, and what a business man ex- pects in an applicant. Hi! talk was most helpful to Arlington High School students who are preparing to go out into the business world. We also have had football rallies during a few of the assemblies, always enjoying at least one of Mr. Henricus’s jokes. He seems to have an inexliaust- able supply. Since we enjoy these assemblies and since the few that we have had were good, why can ' t we have assemblies more frequently and then so that each one may have a chance to speak from the platform and so that we may see how many geniuses there are among us.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION the remarkable work of Coach ITeiiri- cus and his squad of green, hard-work- ing boys and gave to the school twelve red [woolen blankets with gray A’s on them. Nothing could have been ap- preciated more than this gift, and to those men who were so kind we extend sincerest thanks. Only twenty-two men remained on the squad at the end of the year and only two of these will graduate. It is very evident that next year’s team, captained by “Griffie” Roberts, should be fighting for top honors and avenge the defeats of 1923. FOOTBALL SCORES Arlington 0, Dorchester 24.

These were Captain John Walsh and Frank Nazro. The fellows showed the right spirit in every race and should be given a great deal of credit. But this re- markable work could not have been done without the aid of Coach “Doc” McCarthy. Arlington won her first race against St. John’s Preparatory School and every other, except the championship race of the schools in the Mystic Val- ley League. The boys fought hard for this race and lost by a few points only. Stoneham was the victor, but Arlington was runner-up. With every runner except Joseph Forest back for the fall of 1924, Arling- ton should have an exceptional team. Captain Walsh has been re elected and Francis Vossahlik has been elected manager. The letter men of the squad are : John Walsh, Captain Donal d Jones, Manager Frank Nazro Ellsworth Brown John Buckley Walter Nicoll Roy Maynard Charles Hale Joseph Forest The results of the season’s meets are : St. John’s Prep.
