LYNCH RECORD BOOK In the compilation of the 1937 edition of the Record Bock, the Staff has endeavored to make this volume outstanding in those qualities of design and composition which have earned for the Record Book a place among the better Year Books. We have kept before us the achievements of past publications, and we have worked untiringly that we might not only maintain the high standing of other years but move a little higher in this year's edition of the Record Book. In our presentation of the 1937 edition for your approval, we also take note of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of B. M. C. Durfee High School, and we trust that this volume may in a measure commemorate this event. The co-operation of the Faculty Advisor, Mr, Harry P. Lynch is gratefully acknowledged. Miss Marguerite O'Connor, Editor-in-Chief, had as her assistants Be- atryce David and Sanford Udis. Miss Alice Faryniarz, Business Manager, was assisted by Nancy Entwistle and |ohn McAvoy. Other members of the Staff were Edward Murphy, Lorraine Valcourt, Ruth Brown, Diocleciana Stone, Humberto Medeiros, Alfred Forgcttc, Edward Henrys, Raymond Torpcy, James Felder, Aaron Filler, Marion Thomas, Mary Mannion, Pearl Ehrenhaus, Sylvia Lubinsky, Dorothy Conroy, Chester Good- win, Liberatto Mauretti, Lillian Lincoln.

THE CLASS OF NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN ACTIVITI ES mmmm LIBCACr lies The Durfee Library Aids comprise one of the most efficient organi zations in this high school. Its members are noted for their prompt and courteous service in the library. Under the guidance of Miss Marion E. Kernan and under the leader- ship of capable officers, the organization has had a successful year. The president is Edgar Knowlton, the vice-president Josephine Cluck ; secretary, Sylvia Lubinsky; chairman of the Social Committee, Mary Whalon, and treasurer. Miss Kernan. To be a Library Aid a student’s scholastic standing must be high. He must be on the Principal's List, besides being a person of dependable character. Seniors, Juniors and a few Sophomores are selected. The duties of the Library Aids are numerous and diversified. They must make out passes and issue them in the morning before school. These passes must be matched and delivered to the various study halls. The Aids keep the library books in order by means of the Dewey Decimal System. Each Aid has assigned to his care a particular shelf. The students check books returned before school and charge books after school. They locate absent pupils and keep a check on encyclopedias. They assist both teachers and pupils in finding material and are always ready to take charge in Miss Kernan s absence. They also render many services outside of the library. There were two outstanding social affairs. The first one of the year was a Christmas party held in the library, at which Mr. Small was a guest. In June, the Aids attended a beach party. These parties were arranged by Mary Whalon and her Social Committee, comprising Dorothy Conroy, Sylvia Lubinsky, John Wallace and John Foley. Members of the Library Aids for the 1936-37 school year are: Raymond Brocklehurst, Agnes Carreiro, Josephine Cluck, Dorothy Conroy, Kathleen Dean, Cynthia Douglass, Grace Dunn, John Foley, Ruth Gamson, Marjorie Giblin, Mary Guay, Priscilla Hart, Phyllis Higham, Marie Hughes, Elaine Howayeck, Samuel Kaplan, Edwin Kispert, Edgar Knowl- ton, Marion Longson, Sylvia Lubinsky, Chester Mahon, Marion McPartland Humberto Medeiros, Dorothea Newton, Manuel Nunes, Albert Pontifice, Warren Prebluda, Frederick Roach, Jennie Spillman, Rosemary Stoody, Sally Stover, Daniel Sullivan, George Sutherland, Elizabeth Sweeka, San- ford Udis, John Wallace, Mary Whalon, Sybil Yamins.

Great and small! Methinks twould be fitting and proper to review the year 1936 1937 as it full speedily passeth away Our most able president, Mistress Lubinsky, selected for the posts of Mistress of Revels and Master of Ceremonies, Mistress Dorothy Conroy and Master Bertrand Suprenant, respectively. The school procured for our able guidance Mistress Barbara Welling- ton and Mistress Elizabeth L. Leonard, Dramatic Coaches, and Master Mai colm G. Salmond as worthy Faculty Treasurer. Mind ye, now, through the able goodness of our instructors we were permitted a mystery ride for Seniors and post graduates only. Methinks the hobo party was the best time had by all, albeit we have had sundry other social affairs. When December came forth, our school played host to Roger's High School Dramatic Club. The visiting school presented The Florist Shop and refreshments were served most graciously by the Durfee hosts to ye visiting players. Pray heed! December, at ye Yule season, our more talented members presented ye annual three one-act plays entitled “Friday at Eight. The plays, lads and lassies, which were presented were Cyrano de Bergerac, The Moving Finger Writes, and Act II of Cradle Song, Little time had passed away when plans were started for Novelty Nite, Sing-Sing Scandals, with every member of the club partaking. Hear ye! The per- formance attracted a multitude of spectators and was a huge success. Mind ye, now, with the goodly proceeds from this financial success the club purchased a cyclorama, black as night, for the school s future actors who tread the boards. As annual custom dictateth, the Dramatic Club, Chorus and Orches- tra of B. M. C. Durfee combined their talents and presented their operetta, i.e. Pirates of Penzance. As the year passeth, the club hath been able to procure the services of full prominent men and women. Among these was Mr, H. V. Grandville, a truly dramatic reader. The year was rounded out with the three-act play, i.e. Monsieur Beaucaire. Mistress Lubinsky and Master Humberto Medeiros hath delighted the stalls fairly with their leading parts, supported by a most excellent cast. Pray heed! When an act from Monsieur Beaucaire was entered in the Massachustts Drama Day Contest at Boston, individual honors were won by our Master H. Medeiros and the play pronounced third in the contest. Following close on the heels of this production, fourteen new mem- bers were admitted to ye honor society of National Thespians. Methinks that after such an eventful and successful year, the worthy society shall continue on its journey to success. 0iticeni President Vice-President JAMES DARCY JOHN LUND Director MISS HELEN L. LADD Librarian Business Manager JOHN HEFLIN NORMAN CAMPEAU The Durfee Chorus, under the able leadership of Miss Helen L. Ladd, is composed of sixty-eight members, chosen from all four classes. Clad in gray gowns and carrying candles, it marched through the corridors at Christmas time singing carols. In February the Chorus produced its sixth annual Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance,n ably assisted by the Orchestra, Dramatic Club and Miss Barbara Wellington. Eleven members of the Chorus participated in the New England Festival Chorus held at Hyannis in March. In May it joined with the Orchestra in their annual concert. The Chorus helped to make this year's Founder s Day program, Durfee’s fiftieth, one long to be remembered. This year a merit system was started, and at the end of the year an emblem was awarded each member of the Chorus who had the required number of credits. A party at the Country Club ended a very successful and enjoyable year for the Durfee Chorus. cucns Under the direction of Miss Helen L Ladd, the Orchestra experienced a very busy and successful year. This was the first year the organization of fifty-eight members employed the merit system. By this system each member who had acquired eighty-five merits at the end of the year received an insignium. In December they assisted the Dramatic Club by rendering musical selections betwen the three one-act plays. In February they ably accom- panied the Chorus in the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Pirates of Penzance.1' In this same month they supplied the musical portion of the program attending the lecture sponsored by the American Legion. Eleven of the members of this organization represented Durfee at the New England High School Music Festival held at Hyannis in March. In April the musical portion of the Dramatic Club production of “Monsieur Beaucaire” was supplied by the Orchestra. Fourteen members played for the State Dramatic Contest held in Boston later in the month. The new- ly organized string quartet represented the Orchestra at a concert held by the Senior Music Club of Fall River. During Music Week in May the Orches- tra and Chorus masterfully presented their annual concert. The string quartet played at the State Festival in Lowell and at the New England Festival in Gloucester. This small grojp again performed at the Boston Art Club for a Luncheon Meeting of the New England Festival Association in June. The entire organization rendered the musical selections for Class Day and Graduation. It closed its season with a party at the Country Club. CRCHESTC i COMMERCIAL CLUB O Lcen President RUTH P. BROWN Secretary CLAIRE SLATER Faculty Advisor MISS ISABELLE O’NEIL The Commercial Club of the B. M. C. Durfee High School has com- pleted another successful year. This year, as in previous years, the member- ship of the club was limited to Seniors. In December the club held a joint Christmas party with the Girls’ Numeral Club. At this meeting the club agreed to donate $50.00 for the Christmas baskets, which were distributed to some of the most needy families of high school students by some of the members of the club. For the January meeting moving pictures were shown to the members by the New England Telephone b Telegraph Company. The pictures were both educational and amusing. In February a roller skating party was held in the Casino. Over 150 pupils attended and it proved to be a huge success. Commercial Club students presented a play to the club for the April meeting and it was greeted with great applause. An evening dance was held in May and at the close of the year a picnic for members was held. The success of the events sponsored by the club may well be attributed to the co-operation shown by the members in carrying out their plans of the club. Vice-President IRENE KELLEY Student Treasurer MURIEL WEINER HILLTOP The Durfee Hilltop is the weekly newspaper published by the mem- bers of the Journalism classes, under the faculty direction of Mr. John T, Crowley and the student supervision of Dorothy P. Conroy, editor-in- chief. It is composed of four pages, the first of which is devoted to news, feature and human interest stories; the second and third to social columns, editorial comment, book reports, poetry and other miscellany; and the fourth to accounts of interscholastic and intramural athletic con- tests and sport notes. The Hilltop affords students the opportunity to display their journal- istic abilities and to improve whatever literary ability they may possess, regardless of the type of writing by which their specific ability is accen- tuated. Mr. George Herbert Palmer, in his essay on “Self-Cultivation of English,” said to “Welcome every opportunity for writing”—and who is more qualified than the journalism students, who take active roles in the publication of a high school newspaper, to abide by Mr. Palmer’s second precept? The Durfee Hilltop is published on the same principles as is a large city newspaper, except on a much smaller scale. We have two associate editors, John McAvoy and Janet Lee Silk; a news editor, Ruth Brown; sports editor, William Devitt; social editor, Catherine Small; literary editor, Catherine Gibbons; a girls' sports editor, Margot Cartier; a humor editor, Eleanor Kay; business manager, an office worthy of a delta, Rita L. Burke; circulation managers, Anna Duffy and Nancy Entwistle, and a head typist, Ruth Camson. Besides being beneficial to these students, who are materially respon- sible for its existence, the Durfee Hilltop is also an indispensable record of scholastic activities, curricular and extra-curricular, participated in by Durfeeites. S. A. A. CCLNCIL O icenA President Vice-President EDWARD F. MURPHY, JR. DANIEL J. FENNELLY Secretary GERALDINE SIMPSON PRISCILLA HART EUGENE MURPHY RUTH CONNON HARRY GOLUB RAYMOND FITZGERALD SALLY STOVER JOHN FOLEY ANN GIBBONS The S. A. A., with its fifteen hundred members, has continued through its Council to centralize all the extra-curricular affairs of the school. It has attempted to strengthen the scholastic, athletic and social interests of the students by planning varied projects. It has published the Principal's and All-A Lists at the close of each term, cared for the Bronze Placque, arranged “pep'1 assemblies, sponsored the annual Officers’ Banquet, distributed the “Guide for New Students,’ conducted four matinee socials, created a local chapter of the National Honor Society, awarded certificates, deltas and gavels. It represented our school at the Southeastern Convention held in Plymouth and at the State Convention held in New Bedford. It was privileged to stage a model council meeting at the Secondary School Conference at Boston University. It has endeavored in every way to co-operate with the Principal and Faculty in making Durfee second to none in Massachusetts. r c c i m The Forum has been for many years the nucleus of the school’s debating, public speaking and interscholastic activities. Being one of the oldest and largest clubs in the school, it has contributed in a large measure to the keeping of B. M. C. Durfee High School among the leading institu- tions of secondary education in the state. This year the Forum was most successful. The debating team, a permanent institution of the Forum created to foster interest in, and to develop the art of friendly and educational argumentation in the school, has won the State, the Colonial League, and the New England championships in debating. These victories, never before attained in the history of the school, are largely due to the untiring zeal of Mr. William F. Kaylor, the Forum's faculty advisor and debating coach, to whom we acknowledge our heartfelt gratitude. Among the honors which the Forum has earned for the school this year is membership in the National Forensic League. With sincere admiration and cordial felicitations the class of 1937 wishes the Forum the continuance of its long, useful and honorable existence. tr . DEBATING The Durfee Debating team enjoyed the most successful year in its history, culminating in attending the National Debating Tournament held in Jacksonville, Illinois, sponsored by the National Forensic League. The Hilltoppers annexed practically every title in New England. They were crowned champions of the Colonial Debating League and won first place in the Southeastern Massachusetts National Forensic League Tourna- ment. The team won first place in the Massachusetts State N. F. L. Tournament and annexed the New England championship which was held at Laconia, N. H. The team won twenty-one out of twenty-four debates. Among the many teams Durfee defeated were Cambridge Latin, Portland, Me., Charlton, Lincoln Academy, Me., Barnstable, New Bedford Textile and New Bedford High. Members of the team who participated in the sectional tournaments and the national tournaments are Patrick H. Harrington, ]r., Sumner Levin, Theophilo Vincent and Sanford W. Udis. Other members of the squad are Warren Prebluda, Charles Belovitch, William Entin, Manuel Nunes and Bertha Carter. The success of the debating team is in large measure due to the untiring efforts of Coach William F Kaylor. UTECACy CLUB Q LcenA President MANUEL NUNES Vice-President BERNARD MILLER Secretary EDGAR KNOWLTON Faculty Advisor MR. AMBROSE F. KEELEY Under the supervision of Mr. Ambrose F. Keeley the Durfee Literary Club commenced its fourth year with an enrollment of approximately thirty members. Practice in literary style and the development of the ability to criticize intelligently are the chief aims of this club. The bi- weekly meetings were in charge of the club officers who conducted a business discussion in which the program for two or three meetings was planned in advance. The major part of each two-hour meeting was employed in reading aloud the original prose or verse compositions volun- tarily submitted by the various members. Three or four of these were discussed by a special critic and then by the group as a whole. Many papers displayed remarkable talent; a few were printed in the Hilltop. TCATflC SCIAD The Traffic Squad is composed of pupils of the four classes of Dur- fee who. at the beginning of the school year, volunteered to try to enforce the laws to the best of their ability. The officers of the Squad include two captains, five first lieutenants and five second lieutenants. The Squad is under the personal super- vision of Miss Miles. The Traffic Squad was originated for the sole purpose of regulating traffic, but at present it does more than just enforce traffic rules. It takes care of the lawn, reports those who are out of bounds, keeps students from entering the gym during lunch periods, takes care of the traffic signs on Rock street and tries to keep the corridors in both buildings quiet during the lunch periods. The greatest accomplishment of this year's Squad was the solution of fhe problem of criss-crossing between buildings. We solved this prob- lem by changing the exit and entrance doors of Durfee Building. The Traffic Squad is a very effective organization and is needed for the safety of the pupils. Pictured above, in front row (left to right', are First Lieutenants Gardner Borden and Kalil Kalil, Co-Captain Kaiser Shahdan, Secretary Lorraine Valcourt, Co-Captain James Felder, First Lieutenants James Cillet and George Almond. Back row (left to right), Second Lieutenants William Jordan, Richard Weyer and Edward Christophers, First Lieutenant Amcrico Baldaia, Second Lieutenants Theophilo Vincent and Malcolm McFarland. ELECTRICAL CLIJC O lceni President LIBERATO A. MAURETTI Vice-President GEORGE F. SUTHERLAND Treasurer EDWARD M. PEREIRA Secretary FRANK R. BORGES Faculty Advisors MR, MYRON T. ASHLEY Corresponding Secretary |OHN F. CAHILL MR. HENRY J. SHEA Under the guidance of President Liberato Mauretti, and assisted by the faculty advisors, Mr. Myron T. Ashley and Mr. Henry |. Shea, the B. M. C. Durfee Electrical Club has enjoyed a successful year, The purpose of this club is to create greater interest in things elec- trical, to promote co-operation between electrical students and profes- sional electrical men, and to take up work not possible in class. Meetings are held bi-monthly and at these meetings the club, as a whole, listens to some speaker who is a professional in some branch of the electrical field. The club also visits numerous places of electrical interest. A few places of electrical interest visited by the club were a New York boat, Fall River Telephone Exchange, General Cable Factory, and Fall River Electric Light Company. ©ILLS NUMERAL CLUB The Girls’ Numeral Club which is under the supervision of Miss Mary F. McCarthy, faculty advisor, was organized in February, 1936, with the purpose of creating an active interest in girls’ sports. The mem- bers of the Numeral Club also assist the athletic coach in her endeavor to form an extra-curricular sport program for the girls. As an added attraction for the members of the club, some form of entertainment is planned for each month. This year a Hallowe'en party, a Christmas party, a theatre party, a bicycle mystery ride, a swimming party and a bowling party have been held. This year the members of the Health Club formed a hiking club and each week a member of the Girls’ Numeral Club was chosen to lead them on their hike. Membership is restricted to girls who earned at least one set of numerals in either volleyball, basketball or tennis. The club officers are chosen as follows: a president is elected from the Senior membership, a vice-president is elected from the junior mem- bership, a secretary is elected from either of the two upper classes. An executive board is also elected, composed of three, one from each class; and they are elected to assist the other officers. The club meetings are held on the first Monday in each month. The B, M. C. Durfee High School Band, as usual, played at all the football games, participated in holiday parades and played for assemblies. At the football games the band made a very fine appearance, having a new addition to their uniform, namely, a new cap. The Band, as usual, was under the capable direction of Mr. William Allinson, who again turned out a well-balanced and well-organized Band. Mr, Ambrose F. Keeley was drill major and Marilyn Cloutier was drum major. At the New Bedford game the Band put on an exhibition comparable to college units. The Band lined up in front of the Durfee stands, marched over to the New Bedford stands, and spelled out “ H E-L L-0 N. B.” Then they countermarched to the Durfee side and spelled out, in huge letters, “ B. M. C. D.” The Band received the plaudits of the crowd and indeed did they deserve them, for they had really worked long and tedi- ously in preparing the exhibition. EAND The membership of the Durfee Varsity Club is limited specifically to athletes who have earned their red and black D” insignias for service in some phase of interscholastic sports: football, baseball, basketball, track or tennis. This organization now includes thirty-three members, and the social, business and financial affairs of the club are directed by a body of student officers, namely: Edward Henrys, president; Gerald Reagan, vice-president; Norman Roy, secretary, and Edward Pereira, treasurer. The purpose of the Varsity Club is primarily to bring together boy students who are athletically inclined; it affords these sports enthusiasts the opportunity to discuss their interests in general, and it gives the athletes a chance to conduct social affairs, the revenue of which is utilized to purchase whatever sports equip- ment is needed by the lettermen. Relevant to this latter benefit derived by members of the Varsity Club, this organization sponsored a series of exhibitions, wrestling matches and boxing bouts in order to secure enough money to buy a varsity jacket for each member of the club. These shows proved to be huge successes, and were materially instrumental in the ultimate purchase of the jackets, and the substantial sum that still remains in the treasury will give next year's club a good start. The Varsity Club is an organization that is recognized by the Students’ Activities Association because it is socially and financially well balanced, and therefore worthy of recognition by the Council. VAKIITy CLUB urrnrAins These young ladies have been a big help to the football team this past year by cheering the boys on to victory many times, They made a good showing at home and out-of-town games, and also played an important part in school assemblies. This is the third year for the Cheerleaders to receive insignias for their work during the football season. They were given to the following: Seniors, Head Cheerleader Mary Elizabeth Mannion, Margaret Clifton, Eileen Dwyer, Dorothy Conroy; Juniors, Edna Walker and Mae Dumais. Miss Mary F. McCarthy deserves a great deal of credit for her co-operation in instructing the girls. fCCTBALL The Durfee football team of 1936 opened the season against a strong Rogers High of Newport eleven and met defeat by the score of 32-0. The Hilftoppers redeemed themselves, however, the following week, taking the Attleboro team into camp by a score of 12-7. Fairhaven proved too large an obstacle to overcome, though many of the spectators believed Durfee the better team. This score was 7-0. New Bedford Vocational proved easy. Ed Henrys, aided by effective blocking on the part of his teammates, ran wild, and the trade school boys were trounced 21-0. North Attleboro and Taunton were taken in stride, the former by the score of 6-0, and the latter by 26-7. Again the blocking of Captain Al Forgette and his mates proved exceptionally effective. Three of the Durfee first-stringers were out of the Coyle game with injuries, and the Diocesan team scored a decisive 13-0 victory over the wearers of the Red and Black. An Alumni team composed of Durfee players of more recent years, despite the weight and experience advantage which was theirs, could do no better than score a safety, while the Varsity managed, by good teamwork, to make a touchdown and the point after. Score, 7-2. Then came Thanksgiving, and with it the traditional battle of the old rivals, Durfee and New Bedford. For the first time in eight years the Whalers were not able to boast a victory. The Hilltoppers had to be content with a 6-6 tie, however. The result of the season's work was five victories, three defeats, and one tie. Senior lettermen were Captain Al Forgette, Ed Henrys, Bill Silvia, Ed Ferreira, Ray Fitzgerald, Len Dennis, Bob Booth, Norm Roy, Jerry Rea- gan, Ray Torpey, Chet Goodwin and Manager Ed Halpin. Much of the credit for the successful season is due to the zeal and interest of Coach Stephen Nawrocki. BASKETBALL Under the supervision of Coach Nawrocki the B. M. C. Durfec High basketball team, led by Captain Chet Goodwin, enjoyed a fairly successful season, winning six out of twelve games and losing three games by a margin of only one field basket. The other three losses were by only a small margin. Never was this team snowed under by a large score. New Bedford and New Bedford Vocational were the only teams the Hilltoppers failed to beat. The team was built around three returning lettermen, Captain Chet Goodwin, Al Forgette and Jerry Reagan. The newcomers to the squad and substitutes from the year before formed the remainder of the team. The members of the team that are in our graduation class are Captain Chet Goodwin, a guard; Ernie Israel, who shared the rest of the back- court work with Sam Kaplan; Jerry Reagan, a rangy, high-scoring center; Al Forgette, a speedy forward, and Bill Myers, who understudied Jerry Reagan at the center post. Coach Leslie W. Orcutt entered upon his fifteenth year as coach of baseball teams at Durfee. It is largely through his effort that baseball is the most successful of the major sports at this high school. The season opened unofficially when the Alumni defeated the Varsity by the score of 21 to 20 in a comedy contest marked by many hits and errors. Although the team boasted only three lettermen at the start, Coach Orcutt, with his uncanny ability, is slowly developing a potential cham- pionship team. This year’s team is receiving the wholehearted co-operation from everybody but the weatherman, as he necessitated the postponement of the first contest and a triple postponement of the second. Senior members of the team are: “Ray” Torpey, veteran backstop; “Tom” Considine, hardhitting receiver; “AP Norman, dependable catcher; “Feyez” Massoud, speedball twirler; “Mel” Stinton, slugging pitcher- outfielder; “Chet” Goodwin, steady first baseman; “Trixie” Keefe, smooth and clever second baseman; “Sonny” McFarland, heady keystone guardian; “Walt” Sullivan, peppy, hard-hitting shortstop; “Tommy” Flynn, hot corner guardian; “AP Forgette, speedy outfielder, and “jerry” Reagan, Durfee’s Di Maggio.

CASECALL The Durfee track team had a busy season which featured two inter- scholastic meets with New Bedford High and New Bedford Vocational, and two interclass meets, both of which were won by the Seniors. The Seniors were the most consistent point winners on the squad. Captain Ray Fitzgerald was the outstanding member of the squad, earn- ing the reputation of a triple threat man as he won points in the 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, and the broad jump. Cliff Barton, Senior, was another man who won many points for the squad despite the fact that he was held under wraps all season. In the early part of the season Barton injured his ankle during a practice session and he was bothered throughout the entire season by the aggravation. He was out- standing in the field events and won points in the broad jump, pole vault and high jump. Bob Booth was the outstanding weight man on the squad, setting the mark for others to shoot at in the javelin throw and shot put, while ]oe Teixeira was a close runner-up. Milt Walker was another Senior who won recognition for himself in the field events, his outstanding ability being in pole vaulting. Other Seniors on the team were james Darcy, Norm Williams, )ohn Bower, Mike Lesiew, Walt Szeliga, Milt Radovsky and Bill Silvia. In recent years at Durfee track has not been considered a major sport, but during this season the attention of the student body was turned toward the track team and many visited Alumni Field when a track meet was in progress. TENNIS Having launched forth on its fourteen-match schedule, the 1937 Durfee tennis team looks forward to a fairly successful season. With seven out-of-town matches and seven to be played at home, the team looks for a busy season. Led by Captain Eddie Harrington and Coached by Mr. Ambrose F, Keeley, the netmen hope to compile an enviable record. The opponents for the season are Providence Classical, Attleboro, Fairhaven, Dartmouth, New Bedford, De La Salle, Portsmouth Priory and Hope High. The team consists of Captain Eddie Harrington, Harry Singleton and Hugo Perron, Seniors; Dan Fennelly, Huddie King and Dick Maker, juniors, and Paul Hinchey and Russell Kneen, Sophomores. With the return of these three Juniors and two Sophomores, the outlook for next year's team seems bright.
