enior rom The Senior Prom of T55 was held in a beautiful marine settinq. The qym was beautifully decorated in twisted areen and blue crepe paper streamers extended across the balcony. A backdrop of Waves was around the walls of the qym with fish nets above containina all different kinds of tropical fish in assorted colors. The dance band was at one end of the aym, which was roped off to resemble the deck of a ship. Such unforaettable lifesavers as HS. S. Griffin, S. S. B. H. S, and HS. S. 'SG' were seen in various corners of the aym. To com- plete the decorations, the class banner was displayed on one of the backboards. 1 26 vw---v--'

EGJQLCJ gan! The last of the three major sports at Brockton High is baseball, our national sport. This year's team, coached by Mr. Norman B. Nash, was unable to begin prac- tices as early as had been planned because of the wet conditions of the field from late-season snows. Until the field dried sufficiently, the pitchers worked-out indoors, and thus were able to condition their arms in time for the first game. Despite the handicap from the weather the team got off to an excellent start, Winning five of its six games, in a fifteen-game schedule. One reason for this fine start, was that there were seven boys on this year's squad who were regulars last season. Included among this group was the team captain, George Bagas, Another strong point was the pitching staff, which consisted of five dependable hurlers, some of whom played another position when not on the mound. Follow- ing the theory that practice makes perfect, Coach Nash's boys practiced at Eldon Keith Field every day that there Was no game. Although anything can happen in baseball, at this writing the team is antici- pating a most successful season. 1' Fl ,A If BQ' 4 Mfg ,, A0502 0l'.1 I fv I ix, V I' 44+ re, . m, . .,i,'T',..
