Huban, president of Kiwanis, VVilliam Syran of Kiwanis, toastmaster, and Timothy Sullivan, treasurer of the Kiwanis Club. After the invocation by Father Nowlan, Bill Syran introduced president Huban of Kiwanis who spoke about the motto of the o1'ganization, YVe Buildn. Humorous sport stories were told bv Kopf, Heaphy, McKenney, Ohrenberger, McCuirk, Buckley, and others, and much fun was poked back and forth among the well- known sports figures. However, each speaker devoted the serious part of his talk to a warm tribute to coach Bill Pendergast of Dorchester High who has been at his post for the past thirty years. The presentation of the beautiful trophy to the team was made by president Huban of Kiwanis and Head Master Reed received for the school. Coach Pendergast then introduced individually each member of the team who re- ceived a handsome certificate. During the delicious turkey dinner community singing was in order with an accordionist as ac- companist, and Francis L. Ford of the English Department obliged with a solo. ' The pleasant evening was brought to a close with the showing of choice shots of football games throughout the country in 1948. Dorchester High School for Boys is extremely grateful to the Kiwanis Club for its demonsra- tion of public spirit and civic pride.

BASKETBALL SQUAD Basketball dy Spam Akeafzjky The Dorchester High School Quintet, playing a good brand of basketball finished the season with a nine and five record. Losing their first game to the Conference Champs, English High, they played inspired ball to win their next five games. One of these wins was over runner-up Boston Trade. After this five game streak, the team slumped losing two close games to Boston College High and Technical. With any break at all, this team could have come in second or possibly first place. Much of the team's success is due to the expert coaching of George Barry who was ably assisted by manager John Cunningham. The high scorer was Captain Larry Bushey who was second to joe Ross of Trade for Con- ference High Scorer. Captain-elect Dick Zmud- zien and Dave McSavaney also gave a good ac- count of themselves in the scoring department. Dick Tracy and Tom Jolley steadied the team down with their great defensive play. Prospects for 1950 look very good with the return of six lettermen and the great showing of the Iayvees late in the season. The following were awarded letters. Bushey, Coghlan, Cunningham, Hine.
