Counteracting these defeats were the many bril- liant performances turned in by members of all three classes. Five positions on the first team were ably filled by Seniors and the six other positions were occu- pied by Juniors and Sophomores. In the backfield, A. O'Leary teamed with Captain Brown, Nutt, and Bilotta to provide a staunch offensive and defensive unit; while in the line, F. O'Leary, McCarthy, Price, and Castelli worked hero- ically every minute of the games. We were unfortunate in losing to our traditional rivals, Concord, after a great battle. The score, 12 to 0, in no way indicates the fighting spirit of the Lexington warriors who contested bitterly every inch of ground yielded. There was a thrilling rally at the end with Captain Brown flinging pass after pass in a vain attempt to score.

Soccer Captain, CHARLES PRIMMERMAN Coach, EWES ABELL Our Lexington High School booters, playing in non-league competition, closed an average season with eight defeats against five wins. Due to the dis- banding of the league of which we were a member, the zest and enthusiasm of interscholastic competition was somewhat lacking. Still, the spirit of the en- tire soccer squad was remarkable, and in some games, notably those against New Hampton Prep. and New Bedford Vocational, the boys fairly outdid them- selves in their effort to add another victory for Lexington. Doing excellent work in the forward line were Bob Armstrong, Eugene Burton, Francis Cody, Charlie Cameron, Lennie Kieley, and Joe Silva; while the Primmerman twins, Pete and Sherm, together with Dan Fish, Dan Gillespie, and Freeman Nourse performed equally as efficiently in the backfield. Also, we should not lose sight of those two heroic goal-tenders, Bumps West and Louis Yeager, who saved the team from many a defeat by their diligence.

Basketball Captain, ARTHUR O’LEARY Coach, JOHN GRINNELL This year's Lexington High quintet, dominated by Juniors and Sopho- mores, closed its season with a record showing 8 victories out of seventeen games. However, our basketeers made a fine showing against Winchester at Winchester. The team succeeded in coming from behind to pina 27 to 25 defeat on them, thus avenging a defeat suffered earlier in the season. Again, in the final game played at Wakefield, Lexington High made three magnificent attempts to win. In each case the local five succeeded in tying the powerful Wakefield quintet, only to be nosed out, 39 to 37, less than a minute before the final whistle. Because of captain-elect Ralph Wakefield’s becoming over-age after the first game against Keith’s Academy, the squad was left momentarily captainless un- til Art O’Leary capably stepped into the breach. Other Seniors who bade their farewell to the hardwood floor, besides Captain O'Leary, are Twin O'Leary, Bill Potter, Vin Napoli, and Pete Primmerman. However, with such stars as Nutt, Brown, Osgood, Kelly, and Michelson, to name only a few, there need be very little fear as to Lexington’s success next year. Back Row: L. Stewart, A.

Hockeu Captain, JAMES STYGLES Coach, ARNOLD NICHOLS With a final defeat at the hands of the Hudson High, our Lexington puck- sters brought to a close what proved to be a very disastrous season in their second year of competition in the Eastern Massachusetts Hockey League. The records show only one victory and two ties as compared to seven defeats. In this, how- ever, lies a most baffling problem, for the one team which our hockey sextet de- feated was Somerville, last year’s league champion and a leading threat this year, while one of the teams which we tied this year was Brookline, the most powerful unit in the league. Such facts prove, that, although the Blue and Gold squad lacked in scoring punch, it was capable of winning in the face of stern opposition. So, let us take off our hats to a sextet which showed great spirit while waging an up-hill battle against superior forces. Seniors who are leaving the squad this year are Louis Yeager, Vin Drady, Lennie Kieley, Bob Armstrong, and Captain Jim Stygles among the forwards, while Elmer Johnson is the sole representative among the defencemen. The team has chosen Dick Nevins and Edward Adams as co-captains, and with the trained players left after graduation a more successful season is antici- pated when Lexington enters into its third year of league competition.

Track Team Captain, SIDNEY BULL Coach, EE, ABEEE In an effort to uphold the brilliant traditions of past track seasons, a large squad consisting of five lettermen, several second-team veterans, and many Sopho- mores has reported at the first call this year. Although the field events were seriously weakened by the graduation of some of last year’s stars, the running events, with the exception of the half-mile, are well fortified with runners of proven merit. Captain Bull has established him- self as an invincible miler. Ted Donnelly and Bob Dodge, quarter milers, are capable of meeting all competition in the Middlesex League. In the dashes, Fran- cis Cody, Lennie Kieley, and Clyde Booker have been chosen as certain starters, while Arthur O'Leary, football guard, basketball captain, and a newcomer to track, has established himself as a threat in both track and field events. A long list of other Seniors participating in this sport would include Francis Shea, Ronald Weatherby, Edmond Kennedy, and Donald MacDonald as field events men; Charlie Cameron, Dick Davis, Bumpsy West, Bob Price, and Norman Baker as track men.

SHERWOOD With the return of five lettermen this year, Coach Sherwood is optimistically looking forward to a successful season. A nucleus consisting of Pete and Sherm Primmerman, James Stygles, and Skip Brown, surrounded by an aggregation of hard-working Juniors and Sophomores would seem to have all of the elements of a winning baseball team. At present, the three outstanding sluggers are Pete Primmerman, Skip Brown, and Jimmy Stygles. Calling the signals this year for pitchers Forbes, Primmerman, Brown, and Waldroup will be Co-Captain Sherm Primmerman, with Albert Genetti and Joseph Trani as substitutes. Lexington has this year undertaken a twenty-four game schedule, one of the most extensive in scholastic ranks, starting with three games in three days. From then on until June 4 there will be a season which will require the utmost effort on the part of every player. SCHEDULE Apr. 12 Lexington vs. Waltham May 13 Lexington vs. Maynard Apr. 13.

Seldom has it been the school’s privilege to be represented by such a capable golfing team, and if early season performances are significant, league prospects would seem to be unusually bright. The play of Captain Ralph Bullock in these first few weeks has been bril- liant, while he has been closely followed by Francis O’Leary, Joseph Silva, Louis Yeager, John Carey, and Ralph McLalan. “Two new candidates, Edward Silva and Arthur Vaughn, show great promise and will soon be taking their places with the leaders.

Nevertheless they made a brilliant finish. It wasn't until the game with Swampscott that the girls realized their weaknesses and determined to correct them. After this game they showed much improve- ment. First, they defeated the Arlington team which previously had not been beaten and then tied with a fast team from Winchester. Captain Ruth Semonian led her team in scoring and was one of its outstanding players. She was capably aided by Virginia Cummings, Betty Lewis, Ann Neville, and Elsie Rafferty, in the forward line, while Barbara Con- nor, Mary Fardy, Mary Lowe, Helen Porter, and Peggy Theall gave efficient support in the backfield. The Lexington goal was protected by Dot Lovejoy. Among those players already mentioned, seven will bid farewell to L. H. S. this June. However, next year’s team should have a good season since many fine prospects, from the second team, are ready to step into the vacant positions. To Captain-elect Helen Porter we leave our best wishes for a successful season next fall.

[he only real consistencies were the excellent defense of the senior captain, Dorothea Lovejoy, and her invaluable aide, Ethel Dutka, and the shooting of Ruth Semonian. The guards, taking their places beside Ann Wrightington, the varsity first team captain, not only blocked opponents’ attacks but inspired the rest of the team with their frequent encour- agement and reprimands. Ruth Semonian, however, carried the torch. As senior and first team forward, she starred in every game and was the season's high scorer. Fighting with her as a forward, Dorothy Beers brought the juniors into the varsity first team. She was also captain of the junior class team. Georgia Smith was the sophomore captain, and Jean Ferguson was captain of the varsity second team.

Girls’ Baseball Captain, DOROTHEA LOVEJOY Coach, Miss LEAVITT At the just sign of spring, back in the first week of March, Coach Leavitt assembled her twenty-five baseball candidates and proceeded to give them stiff workouts two and three times a week. Captain Dorothy Lovejoy, veteran pitcher and center fielder, is back in her old form with plenty of speed and ac- curacy in that pitching arm of hers. If her team mates give her adequate sup- port, there is no doubt but that she and Alice Straw, veteran south-paw, will lead the team through a highly successful season. Ruth Semonian and Mary Fardy, two veterans, have improved defensively and so far this season have displayed greater potency with the bat, and it is hoped that they, along with Ester Davis, Bertha Freeman, and Elinor Roby, all of whom are brilliant fielders and power- ful stickmen, will add the needed force to the team. Besides the veterans, two Sophomores, Ann Ryder and Georgia Smith, have shown good possibilities, and, so far this season, have shown plenty of the speed and fight that wins ball games.

Pinafore “H. M. S. Pinafore,’ a Gilbert and Sullivan opera, was given by the Lex- ington High School students on February 11 and 12 in the high school audi- torium. There was a capacity audience present both nights to enjoy this per- formance, the most outstanding undertaking of the music department in recent years. The leading pa rts were played by Barbara Conner, Barbara Putney, and Aphrodite Galinos for the girls and by David Boyd, Vincent Napoli, Robert Pike, Donald Shaw, Ralph Cowdrey, and Harold Schiorring for the boys. The members of the Lexington High School orchestra who furnished the musical ac- companiment included Marion Dempsey, pianist; Jeanne Lothrop, violinist; Eugene Burton, clarinetist; and Douglas Ross, cellist. Mrs. Laura Kelly, vio- linist, and Mr. Chester Osborne, trumpeter, assisted the orchestra. Too much cannot be said in praise of the superior musical and dramatic ability of these performers. It was an exhibition which reflected much credit on Mrs. Sandburger, the director of music in the high school, and on Mr. Heggie, the dramatic coach for this performance. [52] I Shot ae) . [PABEXGION Glee Ne BE Chee CFEO.OLE BAND The school year 1937-38 has seen the High School Band combine with Junior High School players to produce a larger and more efficient unit. At the first rehearsal last fall, six musicians appeared, but since that time the band has increased to thirty-two. This increase in membership has been due to new players, trained since last fall in the newly organized instrumental classes. The band has taken an active part in many civic affairs, this year, in addi- tion to playing at the football games. Decked out in their new blue and gold uniforms, they made a colorful picture as they marched in the parade April. 19th. It is hoped that many more Lexington High School students will desire to join the ranks of these musicians and share in the fun and glory which this unit has always enjoyed. ORGHES Hi’ ‘The school may well be proud of the orchestra this year. It is one of the best organized units we have had for some time. Under the leadership of Mrs. Sandburger, young musicians from the Junior High joined the more experienced players of the Senior High. This group made a very creditable showing at one of the meetings of the Lexington Teachers’ Club on April 5th when Professor Anton de Haas was the guest speaker. The student body, however, derived the greatest pleasure from the orchestra since its members furnished the music at all of the High School Assemblies. SPO LIGHT The Spotlight has passed through another successful year. Edited and written with a great deal of enthusiasm, it received a hearty welcome from the students. The appearance of posters, notices and signs in all the home rooms and corridors had made the school Spotlight conscious. Undoubtedly this fact contributed largely to the complete sell-out of each publication. The paper was lengthened considerably by additional news items. Even a different cover was designed. Prizes were offered for the best literary contribu- tions. Then, too, sleuths and snoopers were sent out to eavesdrop on unsus- pecting pupils and expose their intimate secrets to the school. All these new features aided in making the Spotlight a live wire periodical. The students, as well as the Senior Class, appreciate the valuable assistance of Miss Dainty, the faculty adviser; of Dick Russell, the editor; and of the entire Spotlight staff. Once again its rays have penetrated the darkest corners of Lex- ington High School. Los] DE SaEG 1 ONG EG ese EOL 1938 THE ASSEMBLIES The assembly programs for this year, running from fine arts to vocational interests, passed a milestone in the progress of Lexington High School. The school year started out with a most delightful musical program by Mr. Osborne, followed by two football rallies in the usual autumn spirit. Later the girls were given a lecture on the proper use of cosmetics and the latest hair styles. November, however, was the most fruitful month, beginning with Officer Neal’s talk on Safety, then Rev. C. O. Smith’s impressive Armistice Day address, and finally the “Preview of Progress’’ lecture generously given by General Mo- tors at Cary Hall. This program gave every member of the student body a glimpse into the very modern and practical scientific world. Book Week and Thanksgiving were also treated with due respect. For Book Week, Miss Bois- clair spoke most interestingly on books in general. At the Christmas Assembly two readings were presented, and members of the French Classes sang some of the better known French carols. After the New Year Mr. Harold Kennedy from the cast of Julius Caesar gave a talk on this production, other Shakespearean productions, and the present theater. The enthusiasm for this assembly was as great as that for the musical program of Mr. Chester Cook. Mr. Cook, a widely known pianist, gave a most pleasing repertoire of works from well-known composers, preceding each with an explanation of musician and work. Certain selections from “‘Pinafore’’ were given for the benefit of those who had missed the performances, at a later assembly. Throughout these assemblies, the work of Mr. Warren must not be over- looked. He has generously given of his time and effort that every student find his place in future life by various assemblies on vocations. Mr. Neilson and Miss Spidle have furthered this work by a series of weekly programs dealing with vocational guidance. DRAMA TI@ CLUB Under the able supervision of Mr. Hart, the Dramatic Club made its annual appearance in school affairs with much enthusiasm from its forty regular mem- bers. Having elected Robert Pike, president; Edmund Donnelly, vice-president; and C. Freeman Nourse, secretary-treasurer, the members began work on the pro- duction of three one-act plays which were given December 21, 1937, in the High School Auditorium for the purpose of securing musical instruments for the school band. These plays included, ‘“The Trysting Place’’ and ‘‘The Crow’s Nest”’ coached by Mr. Hart and ‘The Quodrangle’’ coached by Miss Forsythe. After this initial effort, the Dramatic Club stopped its weekly meetings while many of its members took part in the production of ‘“‘H. M. S. Pinafore,’’ a Gil- bert and Sullivan operetta, presented February 11 and 12, in the High School Auditorium. ened 1938 4 IRE Nica O Neh eto 5 GLO OL Following this successful undertaking the Dramatic Club turned to light comedies which were acted before the school. The Dramatic Club meetings created much interest in stage craft and acting. Certainly the Dramatic Club has made an enviable record for the year 1937- 1938 and one in which we may look back with a great deal of pride. PRENGHSCEUL The French Club began its second year last October, under the capable leadership of its faculty adviser, Miss Jenness, and its president, Edwin West. Marion Dempsey was elected vice-president; Mary Lowe, secretary; and Robert Nelson, treasurer. Meetings were conducted monthly, offering varied and in- teresting programs, including plays, talks, and several films on different aspects of France and French life. In place of the regular meeting in February, the club saw the French film, ““The Life and Loves of Beethoven’ at the Fine Arts Theatre. In March the members enjoyed a round trip on the ‘‘Normandie,’’ no less, with passports, deck games, music, and refreshments. This organization has done much to promote a genuine interest both in the French language and France itself. MAS GieUB A number of the mathematically minded members of the school have en- deavored to acquire a more intimate knowledge of the scientific problems, which have confronted mathematicians through the ages, by forming a Math Club. Under the leadership of President Ed Kennedy and faculty adviser Moyle, they investigated the mysteries of tri-secting an angle, squaring a circle, and the fourth dimension. In spite of the abstract qualities of these problems, it must be said that the members understood them as well as their Algebra II, and many have a better idea of what lies ahead of them in advanced mathematics. No theories have been disproved and no past geniuses defamed, but the Math Club closed its books with much accomplished for the year. GERMAN CLUB Ambitious and enthusiastic language lovers organized a German Club, under the able direction of Miss Walcott. Thirty-eight students representing sophomores, juniors and seniors eagerly devoured fundamentals of the German language at their weekly meetings. At one meeting they had an unusual oppor- tunity to acquire first-hand information from Mrs. Ursula Leddy, who told of present conditions in Germany and the true feelings of the German people con- cerning Hitler’s regime. Although the German Club is still in its infancy, it is fast becoming one of the most popular organizations and it is hoped that the undergraduates will continue the work already so well begun. bai L[RESSCENUG TT OWN Eleni Ca COLO rls Most Class Dictionary Agreeable—Barbara Bond, Ted Donnelly ambitious——-Margaret Wilson, John Nici argumentative—Mary Archibald, Norman Baker artistic—Polly Thomas, Bob Vigneau athletic—Dorothea Lovejoy, O’Leary Twins attractive—Margaret Theall, Vincent Napoli Bashful—Shirley Hanson, Richard Cushman blonde—Norma Hayward, Ira Fuhrmann brilliant—Margaret Wilson, Dick Russell Carefree—Rosemary Kearns, Louis Yeager charming—DMarie Chapman, James Holt cheerful—Edythe Gartland, Leonard Kieley comical—Ruth Jones, David Barnum considerate—Mary Wilson, Edwin West courteous—Marion Dempsey, Joe Sousa Dancer—Mary Sousa, Freeman Nourse daring—Elsie Rafferty, Ralph Wakefield debonair—Jean Buckley, Bill Potter Efficient—Margaret Wilson, Ted Donnelly energetic—Mary Fardy, Paul Adler enthusiastic—Elsie Rafferty, Vincent Napoli Faithful—Alice Johnson, Edwin West fashionable—Janice Wilkins, Freeman Nourse friendly—-Rita Kelley, O'Leary Twins Generous—Dorothy Cavic, Harry Hodgdon good-natured—Dorothea Lovejoy, Doug Ross Impetuous—Margaret Morris, Herbert Johnson irresistible—Margaret Theall, Ira Fuhrmann Jovial—Ruth Jones, Louis Yeager Keen—Janette Graves, Frank McKinnon kind—W.

They prove that the saver is worth something in himself. Any fool can waste; any fool can muddle, but it takes something of a man to save, and the more he saves the more of aman does it make of him. Waste and extravagance unsettle man’s mind for every crisis; thrift, which means some form of self-restraint, settles it. —Rudyard Kipling.
