22 THE CLIMBER Newsletter Staff Girls' Basketball Football and East Bridgewater defeated twiceg also Norton was defeated in two games by our second team. Middleboro, who refused to play us on our home Hoor, was de- feated once. The Alumni was defeated once also during the regular season. In the South Shore Tournament, Howard went to the finals by overcoming Duxbury, Sharon, and Orleans and lost to Provincetown in the finals. In the East- ern Mass. Tourney at the Boston Garden, Howard lost in the first game to Weston. Weston and Provincetown, the only two teams to defeat Howard, both went to the final game in the Boston Garden. The team scored a total of 678 points as against 472 for their opponents in 16 games played. Beaulieu led the scoring while Twomey and Holbrook set up and scored better than 100 points a piece. The fine guarding of Pocius and Daley turned their opponents' hair grey. With team work as the boys displayed they were bound to go places and did. Although many boys had been discharged from the service, the Newsletter continued its monthly publication this year. The news was gathered by the Staff, under the supervision of Miss Rylander. It consisted of information about the town, activities in the High School, and about other boys in the service. Credit also goes to the commercial department, under the able guidance of Miss Yukna, which assisted in the printing, and to the Town Committee which mailed out the Newsletter. Much effort and time was spent in this project, but by the letters received, the boys have certainly appreciated it. The team Linder the able guidance of Louise C. Ricciardello had a fair season this year, winning 4, tying 1, and losing 5 of the 10 games played. Unfortunately, the team lost its coach in the middle of the season, and sickness kept several players from playing in all the games scheduled. The forwards, Captain Shirley Gummow, Emily Thomas, and Gwen Turner, chalked up a total of 225 points to the opponents' 220. Emily Thomas, highest scorer for the season, contributed with 97 points, while Captain Shirley Gummow followed with 76. - The guards, Irma Hawes, Marie Gaffney, and Claire Bemis, displayed fine teamwork, and kept the opponents' score down. Mary Pross, Jean Owens, Florence Murray, and Ruth Badger, substituting for the team, also played fine defensive ball and showed up well in the scoring department. We are sure there will be more fine performances and victories in the future. The first official season of the football team under the new coach, Mr. Vincent Gori, was very successful, considering that the boys had never played organized football. The team ended their abbreviated season with two wins and two losses. The first game was with Somerset, and although Howard lost by a compara- tively low score, 7-0, they made a fine showing. In the second game they showed much improvement from intensive practices and they knocked off Millis 24-6. But in the next game Howard jumped back to the loss column at Cohasset, 12-0. After this licking, the team really showed their stuff at Middleboro. They shellacked Middleboro 2nds 46-7. The line carried out their assignments perfectly, to allow the backfield to show their offensive blocking to hinder the Middleboro team. The starting line had Joe Pocius at R E, Doug Eaton R T, Harland Beaulieu R G, Don Davio C, Mal Haskins L G, Richard Giovanoni L T, Dave Fratus L E, while the backfield consisted of John Chambers Q B, Bill Twomey L H B, Tom Miles R H B, Leon Beaulieu F B. To fill in for injuries or substitution were Carroll Daley, George Carnes, Milton Rockwell, Harold Dunn, Wayne Shipman, George Gaskill. The team should attribute their success to the fine teamwork, spirit and co- operation among the boys during practices and in the games. The fact that they had a line coach to teach them their duties was perhaps the most important factor for Il first-year team. 'l he team will lose only three lemme:-men through griuliiation and it is hoped they will have xi very successful season.
