Christine liacos. and Ginger Johnson. eight ofthe most adorahle girls imaginahle. Their heaus were Charlie Getz, Tom McDonough. John Houghton. John Ferguson. Holi Francis. Diek Phillips. Dick Lehrhaeh. and Nelson Cook. This chorus line appeared at rlilllerent intervals throughout the program. Davis Rennie reeeived generous applause when he sang '4Aul Wietlersehnf' This was followed hy the hrst skit entitled The Movie Mystery. The players were Alden Briggs. Wvooclv Hawheker. liill tfhristoplieri liill News-onih. Dave Newell. lioli Cidge. Charlie Wloreesler. George Driseoll. and John Silver.

After this. the ehorns der-iderl to dine in a small cafe with a certain Mamselle. Yoshi Nakada served the guests. The annual fresh- man skit was a huge success as Lester Archambeau and Davis Rennie sang. They were assisted by freshmen Rupert Picott, John Guy, Dave McDuffee, Ben Hallowell, George Sirois, Walter Kaplan, Irwin Berger, Jason Treisman, and Art Levison. The applause for the next skit could be heard from Groton to Ayer Junction as Bill Sambito and Harry Gardiner told jokes, Billy also did a fine job playing the accordion. Moments later, Nelson Cook walked Ginger Johnson back home. The next skit, MAccuracy,,, had Pete Kilbourn, John Sheedy, Frank Hartnett, Al Hammond, Roger Small, Ross Vlfood, Dan Hanley, George Lennihan, and Art Webster wondering if it is possible to get milk shakes from a cow. The chorus proceeded to sing uMy Blue Heaven before Jim Burns and Dick Hatch battled for the love of Don Grenier in an intriguing skit entitled NTriangle. After the chorus Wlliptoed Through the Tulipsf, Bob Whittier, Dick Wantman, Bob Triesman, and Jo Jorjorian presented a skit about a Scotchman who wanted his funeral to be delayed because the price of collins was dropping. The beauteous Pauline Cotter sang a melancholy melody about uStormy Weatherf, after which Scott Althoff, Ed Sirois, and Jim Mann described Poison Gulch. An argument between Paul San Clemente and Grant Heatzig over an Approved Salary was settled by Steve Williams. The gentlemen of the chorus then told the story of MThe Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo. A pleasant interlude then followed with George Morse at the piano. Frank Day and Dave Riemer expressed their true affection for each other in the style of Eugene D'Neil. Swinging back to the musical side of the Frolic, Dick Phillips led the chorus in Hllalifornia, Here I Come. Don Silverman, Larry Fine, and Burt Freeman visited the L'Bird Storef, After this, the chorus romped through the old favorite, ttlf I Had a Girl Like Youf' Lester Archambeau excelled Rose Marie Clooney when he rendered Botch-a-mef, Dave Klaiman. Irwin Berger, and Terry Marinos were in a skit, c'Tl1e Ropef' and in what was perhaps the best single act of the evening, Bob Francis and Rosie Sullivan decided to 'zzing a Little Zongf' In the skit entitled HLife Saversf, Elias Gordon, Mat Milan, and Marty Miller demonstrated their histrionic talents. Then the Lawrence chorines blew the lid off Ashburnham as they told the big secret about ten Cushing students. An excellent story about uFather,s Quiet Eveningl' was acted out by Jim Henry, Ray Rogers and Dave Chedekel. After this the chorus sang about something that is always in demand, uAn All American Girl. In a hair-raising story, the monster, alias Ted Engman, cast fear into the hearts of Bob Grey and Mitch Comins. However. the old maid, Al McKittrick, decided the monster would make a good husband after all. As Bob Francis told the story of uMe and My Galfi Don Sutherland, his blushing daughter Tiny Jowett, accompanied by the bridesmaids, Pete Siemen, Doug Walmsley, and Jack Linehan, marched down the aisle. Tom McDonough mounted the uStairway to Paradise with the chorus participating. With a final song and a cheery good-night, the 1952 Autumn Frolic drew to its con- clusion. The ushers were Greg Thomajan, Bud Whittemore, Dave Falk, and Bob Rosenthal, the property men were Bruce Hoyt and Jack Barry, the lights and curtain were handled by Art Stolow and Don Sutherland. Hats off to Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Ferguson and to all those who contributed to making this production a success.

J f ,ff L FOOTBALL Lawrence Academy's strong football team ran up against some tough opposition but never stopped fighting. Their first contest of the season was played on a wet. muddy field at St. Sebastiarfs in Newton and the slick quarterbacking of Tom McDonough and the fire of Captain Jim Johnson gave the advantage to Lawrence 14-0. The team scored all their points in the second quarter on a fake pitchout by Tom McDonough and a lateral to Art Sullivan. The Parents' Day game with Wilbraham was a wild contest with Wilbraham on top 20-7. The aggregation from western Massachusetts had not gained the laurels of victory for a long period of time. They were inspired by the favorable breaks in the first half and marched to a 7-0 lead at half time. The never-say-die red and blue came back to knot the score at 7 all after two minutes of the third period, but the opposition was too strong for the home team with its weak bench. Having lost the services of tackle Jack Barry for the remainder of the season, the Academy eleven next ventured to the windy city of Providence, R. 1. to tangle with the deceptive single-wing formation of Moses Brown. Lawrence charged ahead to an early 14-0 lead at half time on the strength of outstanding line play of the blue and red. ln the second half Moses l3rown's desperation passes pulled them up within one point of a tie gameg time ran out. however, giving Lawrence the win 14-13, and a 2 and 1 record. Thayer Academy continued their domination over Lawrence as it pounded out a 24-14 victory. Lawrence showed some of its fighting spirit as it led at half time 14-12. They accomplished their first tally on a recovered Thayer fumble by Grey on the first play of the game, and a Houghton to McDonough pass clicked for six points . . . Mac converted. Late in the second period a pass from Houghton to Long gave Dick his first touchdown and Lawrence six points. Coming back in the second half, Thayer with strong reserves overpowered Lawrence and went on to win a thriller. The home team now had a 2 and 2 record as they came back to their home field to meet the well-balanced New Hampton team on Alumni Day. Fumbling Lawrence gave the New Hampton team the ball deep in the Lawrence territory, and after several tries the visitors moved the ball over the last white stripe. Spearheaded by the offensive play of uTank', Jowett and the vicious tackling of Nelson Cook, Lawrence did their best to hold off the omnipotent offense of the visitors, but to no avail. New Hampton left Groton with a 20-7 victory. The big game: Cushing played host to its perennial rival Lawrence Academy at Ashburnham, Massachusetts. Un a crisp fall afternoon. both teams faced each other -Lawrence determined and Cushing, perhaps over-confident. Lawrence startled their opponents by holding them in the first quarter by stellar defensive play, with line- backers Bob Francis and Ernie Bickford, and guard Leon Jorjorian spearheading the attack. Cushing in return held Lawrence. The battle went that way until a fumbled punt by Art Sullivan deep in Lawrence's territory gave Cushing easy access to a touch- down. Score Cushing 6 -- Lawrence 0. After receiving the kickoff the underdogs were driven back to the shadow of their goal posts by penalties. Tom McDonough got his kick out to mid field where the purple and white drove to another score on a reverse. Score 12-0. Then, Lawrence came to life! Bickford returned the kickoff to the 40 yard line. Captain Jim Johnson gained 15 yards around left end. Art Sullivan hit for 30 yards on the 15. Jim Johnson flipped to Art Sullivan on the 2 yard line. and Tom McDonough climaxed it by plunging over and converting. Score: Cushing 12, Lawrence 7. Just as the half ended, a blinding snow storm swooped down over the field. chasing the spec- tators to cover. ln the second half. on a snow-covered field, Cushing opened the scoring on a long pass into the end zone from Welchel to Captain Vezoulis, which caused objection from Lawrence. The ball was dropped but the referee claimed that he had the ball long enough. Score: Cushing 19, Lawrence 7. Lawrence was unable to advance on this slippery turf after receiving the kick off and were forced to punt. Cushing tried to gain yardage on reverses but were stopped by John Ferguson and Bob Grey, who although unnoticed played magnificently all year. Futilely they attempted to penetrate the strong side of the Lawrence line but were repulsed by Art Jowett and Dick Long. Lawrence Academy's lack of reserves. however, gave way to the jarring power of the neighboring team as they tallied twice more, making the final score Cushing 33- Lawrence Academy 7. The boys on the team would like to express their appreciation for the tireless work of the coaches, Mr. Grant and Mr. Shepherd-and the enthusiastic spirit of the entire student body. L SOCCER This yearls soccer team, coached by Mr. Haltmaier and Mr. Hayden, had a highly successful season. Paced by their captain, Bob Treisman, who scored fifteen goals, the team played impressive and aggressive soccer, ending the season with a 5-2-1 record. Lacking experience, the team dropped its opener to a strong Belmont Hill team, 2-1. Constant practice drills and long distance runs put the team in excellent condition for the remaining games. ln no game of the entire season was the LA. eleven ahead at the half. Brown and Nichols went down to defeat as Lawrence won 3-2, the winning goal being kicked by Donald Crenier. Cushing Academy dropped the third game of our schedule 3-2 with Yoshi Nakada, Bill Hubbard, and Bob Treisman scoring. Overcoming Croton School 4-2, Dave Biemer and Don Grenier each scored one goal while Bob Treisman booted 2. Against the powerful St. Markis team, only Nakada got a goal and Lawrence lost 3-l. The next game was played against Worcester Academy. Treisman showed his excellent ability by scoring all five Lawrence goals as the eleven won in two overtime periods, 5-4. At the expense of Croton School, the soccer team won 6-3 with Bob Treisman and Dave Riemer each scoring two goals. Don Grenier and Yoshi Nakada each booted one score. To end the season, the team played a thrilling sportsman- like game at Cushing Academy which resulted in a 0-0 tie. Throughout the season the defensive ability of the half backs, Paul San Clemente, Jack Linehan, and Bay Rogers, and of the full backs, Mat Milan and ,lim Mann, staved off many goals to contribute to the success of the team. L g BASKETBALL This yearis basketball team is one of which LA. can be truly proud. Not only did the boys qualify for the Prep. School Tournament with a nine to five record, not only did they beat Cushing twice and Huntington in the first round of the Tournament, but they were as fine a group of representa- tives as the school could find anywhere. The fact that four of the five starters averaged over ten points a game is conclusive evidence that they played together as a team. The starting five consisted of Grey and Francis as forwards, Treisman and Houghton as guards, and Ferguson at center. They were capably backed up by Getz, lVlcKittrick, Hartnett, Perkins, and Althoff. Since Getz and Captain-elect Houghton are returning to next year's team, there are high hopes of another successful season. Congratulations are certainly due to Coach Grant, Captain Ferguson and the other members of the squad for their excellent record.

With the exception of Captain McDonough and last yearls letter man, Milan, organized hockey was entirely new to most of our players. The team lost its first game to Tilton by the score of 5 to 3. Despite the lack of practice, the team played its best game of the season, led by Captain McDonough who brilliantly scored all three of our goals. Andover, far superior to our team, overpowered L.A. 12 to 0. Begin- ning with this game, the shortage of substitutes was evident. Some of our first string players played almost the entire game for the rest of the season. After this game, the team had to wait two weeks before playing its next opponent, Deerfield. Uur team played an excellent third period, but it was too late to change the winning side. The final score was 6 to 1, Milan scoring our only goal by receiving a pass from Walmsleyf. It should be noticed that our goalie Whittemore had forty-two saves in this game. The team lost its last two games to Groton School and to Cushing by the scores of 5 to 1 and 6 to 0 respectively. McDonough scored against Groton on a solo dash. Although the team did not have a victorious season, the enthusiasm of the coach, Mr. Haltmaier, and the cooperation of the players should not be overlooked. ,lack Linehan, Charles Linehan, and Paul Cotter were on our second line, Dick Long, Nelson Cook, Ernie Bickford, and Grant Heatzig played an important role as defensemen.

However, the hoys had a lot of fight and spirit, and with the future years to work together as a team, our J.Y.'s should definitely be tomorrow's varsity.

With the expectancy of a new professional wrestling ring, enthusiastic underclassmen, Elias Gordon, James Burns, George Lennihan, Walter Kaplan, and James Henry, attended Mr. Shepherd's classes to learn the ancient art. The instruction was strictly collegiate, eliminating the grunts, groans, and torture-holds of television wrestling. Mr. li. S. Shepherd James M. Henry, Jr. Walter W. Kaplan Richard J.
