P ATRICIA ARTHUR This year has proved a very successful one for the sixty-four pupils of the class of '43. During the first quarter of the year they held a Halloween Social to which the seventh grade was invited. Eldora Winslowwf won Hrst prize for the prettiest costume. For the first time in several years the P. T. A. membership banner has come to the high school through the efforts of the eighth graders in room 4. Many of the eighth grade boys participated in the junior high basketball which wasn't altogether successful as far as the victories were concerned but provided a great deal of enjoyment for all. The home economics club which consists mainly of eighth grade girls painted the furniture and made curtains and cushions for the teachers' room.

THE HANOVERIAN 25 ' 'T BOYS' ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The football team, under the competent leadership of Ted Lloyd, finished off a season of thrills by losing a heart-breaker to its newly-found Thanksgiving rival, Stetson High of Randolph. Played in the mud, the game was characteristic of all played by the watch-charm Hanoverians this year. A lot of spirit, a lot of drive, and a lot of rain combined to leave the light- weight team valiantly digging itself out of the mud into which the heavier and more experienced teams had put it. Although the opening game was not very encouraging, the club rounded into a first rate ball team as soon as the latent possibili- ties of triple threat John Urban combined with Captain Lloyd and ex-captain Bud Cobbett manifested themselves. Not overly successful from the point of View of games won, the season was thoroughly enjoyed by all. At the close of the season the boys enjoyed a trip to Boston to see the Bruins play hockey. Next year we look for successs not only in personal enjoyment but in cold facts. Schedule Stoughton 27, Hanover 0: N.

BASKETBALL This year Coach Lovett produced a fine basketball team under Bud Cobbett's leader- ship. With its excellence in passwork and a complete knowledge of basketball funda- mentals, the team enjoyed a successful season. John Urban, Dick Burpee, and Bud Cob- bett combined to make one of the best for- ward lines in the South Shore League. Mel'- ford Butts, a newcomer, greatly added to the height and general excellences of the team. Bob Crothers at the other guard post will be remembered for his sensational long shots. One of the outstanding games of the sea- son was played with Marshfield. Nlarshfield finally won by two points earned in an overtime period. Continued on page 31
