Sophomore Notes This elass is really quite important, as it has some fine lloulton High spirit in it. And of eourse let's not forget, its president from Central Ameriea. .lose Duron. ln number. this elass is also quite large. having 1110 members. Aeeording to Coaeh lluse Tibbetts. with a little more growth and improvement, its basketball players. Grant. Plourde. Byers. York. and Nleflaffin ought to shape into a flue varsity in a year or two. Of eourse. let's not forget its sougbird, llarriette Wat- sou. who is also a member ot' the band. VW- should also mention their eandidates for eireus king and queen. lfraueis Skehan and Phyllis Gray. All in all. this is a most promising elass. XVe might even prediet that its athletes will some day put ll. ll. S. baek on the map. lt is quite possible that it contains the Aroos- took County basketball ehampions ot' 194-t. F. G. lllr. Tibbetts at skull praetiee: Suppose the ball is on their five, last down. one point behind, and a minute to go. what would you do.

THE FOOTBALL TEAM Back row: Coach Peabody, Coach Dobbins. Manager Hagermn. Head Coach Tib- betts. Second row: C. Gardiner, F. Gardiner, lVlcQuade, A. St. Pierre. E. llerman. Riley, P1ou1'de, Drown. Front row: Asst. Mgr. Cameron, Niles. McNutt. Wilcox. Captain Malcolm Berman, Cameron, Moore, Taylor, Asst. Mgr. Byers. Football When coaches Tibbetts. Peabody, and Dobbins issued the call for football candi- dates. four lcttermen and a host of eager aspirants reported. The veterans returning to the pigskin wars were Bob Russell '42, a fast triple-threater, Mal Berman '42, field- general, Ralphie Taylor '42 vicious-tackling halfback. and Joe lVilcox '43, a 180-lb. All- State-mention guard. To round out the backfield, the pigskin braintrust alternated Elliott Berman '45. hard-running freshman speed merchant, and Bill Riley '44, a husky sophomore. The forward wall, riddled by graduation, was the big headache throughout the campaign: and although some capable men were found, it sadly lacked the defensive strength of former years. Bob Niles '43, a Iletter-than-average pass snatcher, Dorson Plourde '44, a hard-working guard, together with Joe Wilcox, were the stalwarts in the front bulwark, The Black and White warriors broke only one record during their sojourn on the fall gridiron-they were the smallest and light- est team in the history of the school. Statis- tics show that the average weight ol' thc squad was on the shy side of 140. In brilliant performances, the touchdown at Lincoln would be hard to beat. ln exact- ly two minutes, our boys went eighty yards to score. After Elliott Berman at safety wisely decided to let a ditticult-to-handle punt roll into the end zone, the march was on. Far up the field. the quartet of Russell. Berman, Taylor, and Berman rushed the ballball, Then Bob Niles kangarooed high into the air to snatch an overland heave on the one-yard stripe. Led by vicious block- ing. Russell easily swept through a large hole for the score. On a quarterback sneak, Berman rammed over for the point. The letter winners are Malcolm Berman '42, Robert Russell '42, Elliott Berman '45, Ralph Taylor '42. Vvilliam Riley '44, Robert Niles '43, Donald McNutt '43, Bernard Cam- eron '42, Frank Gardiner '43, Earl Gardiner '44, Joseph Wilcox '43, Dorson Plourde '44, Euclid St, Pierre '42, John Mooers '42, Al- cid St. Pierre '43, Holland Taylor '42, Pat-
