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.

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 ICE HOCKEY The call for hockey candidates has been sounded and about thirty candi- dates turned out. Because there was little ice, the squad con Id not begin the practice and they had to keep in shape by chasing the cross country team around Spy Pond. This year instead of having one coach the Arlington boys have men of the Alumni to give them points on the game, and “Joe” Duffey is acting coach. Arlington should have an exceptional team, for there are live veterans back; Scanlon, Buckley, Nazro, Cowans, and Hutchinson. From the Sophs comes “Jerry” O’Neil, who has bright pros- pects in this sport, as he has in cross country. With such an outfit as this, the prospects are promising and should furnish many interesting and flashy games. J. MacFarlane. Alumni Notes Christmas vacation brought many of our graduates back to the school for visits. We were glad to welcome Luis Armstrong, Hamilton Bice, Emma Bourne, Helen Foster, Esther Draper, Emily Hicky, and Katherine W ells, all of 1923, and Dick Rideout and Neal Cargyll, ex-’25. Some of the ex-A. II. S. students who have entered the blissful state of matri- mony are Alma Lear, ex-’23, Irene Viano, and Laura Zeigler, ex-’24. Jack Foster, “Molly” Bott, and Dick Rideout are wearing out their intel- lects at Exeter, attending all dances, etc. Francis Donnelly, Ed Leary, Ed Hammond, and Freddie Danton, all of ’23, are at Coburn Academy ( when they aren’t having a long vacation). We don’t imagine it’s very peaceful there. Our Alumni is supporting Hunting- ton ! Leon Labreque, John Freeman, Harry Sherry, and Bill Miller (who, by the way, has been elected captain of the 1924 football team), Alfred Madden, and Kenneth Howe are studying hard there. Bob Fall, ’22, is working hard up at Dartmouth, Francis Forrest is now somebody at Annapolis. Jimmy Jones, ’22, is making a hit at Bowdoin. Linda Pray, ’23, is at Normal Art. “Chick” Hendricks, ' 23, is training her voice at Leland Powers. Mary Lewis, ’23, is developing her muscles at Sargents. Helen Foster, ' 23, is at Smith. Lundberg, ’23, and Donovan, ’23, just couldn’t leave the dear old A. H. S. The Alumni evidently haven’t lost their love for athletics. Live games were played in the gym, January 4, both boys’ and girls’ teams against the Alumni teams. The Alumni hockey game played New Year’s Day resulted in a 2 to 2 tie. Justin McCarthy, ' IT, ex-captain of the A. II. S. hockey team, sails this month with the American Olympic Hockey Team. Hurrah for Arlington ! Charlie Collins, ' 22, ex-captain of A. If. S. cross country team, was third man on Dartmouth’s championship team.
