NUTT Although the Lexington High School football team looked forward to a very promising season, things did not progress as was thought. Due to the lack of experience and injuries, the team fell before their Opponents although making a very valiant and brilliant stand. Our Blue and Gold was the only team to gain the honor of having scored upon Maynard throughout the entire season. With the aid of the brilliant work done by Captain Nutt, the Blue and Gold team was looked upon by its opponents as a very serious threat. The coming foot- ball team, with the aid of spring practice, expects to bring forth and show a very successful season for l939.

Soccer Coach, MR. ABELL Captain, MICKEY STANLEY This year's soccer team, led by Mickey Stanley, had one big success. It beat Medford 3 to 0 on their home grounds. This is the only team that has done this for six years. Coach Abell had many stars on his team this year, some of Whom are Captain Mickey Stanley, Stewey Broderic, Art Vaughn, and Barrett Thompson. We had seven wins, three ties. and eight defeats. taking in the ties, a fifty-fifty record. Most of the team was composed of green mem- bers, but they did very well in the face of stronger teams. We hope that Coach Abell has a better season next year and that Captain-elect Stewey Broderic leads his team to the championship.

Basketball Although nosed out of the race by Wakefield when the league trophy was all but sitting in the display case, We believe that this year Coach Grinnell's boys will go on record as one of the finest teams ever to represent Lexington in bas- ketball in the school's history. Certainly few. if any, of the Blue and Ciold quintets could boast the record held by this year's team of twelve victories as against four losses, including an eight-game victory streak, for a season's aver- age of something in the vicinity of .750 which, when translated from the algebra. spells champion. Of the four defeats, we believe that only the Winchester and Wakefield set-backs were justified. In the first Keith game, an attack of some- thing like over-confidence hit the team during the first of the game with the result that Keith piled up a lead that was impossible to overtake when the team finally woke up and went to work. The Belmont game was played in a simi- lar fashion with a hair-line set-back resulting, This year's team was, perhaps, the most evenly balanced aggregation in the matter of quality and ability. Play- ers who should be mentioned are the following: Captain Tony Caroto, Dick Fawcett, Ken Nutt, Ben Kelly, Al Busa, Stewey McDonald, and Bob Michelson.

The Lex- ington High sextet won one. lost five, and tied four games. All games that were lost were lost by very small scores. The Blue and Gold had twenty-live goals scored against it. while the team itself rang up eighteen goals against its opponents. The brunt of the season was carried on the shoulders of cofcaptain Dick Nevins, who by his brilliant work earned a position on the League All Star team. Credit may also be given to Monk Dodge.

With this situa- tion it looks as though he is going to have to depend greatly on the talent from the sophomores just coming up. Upon such prospects as Bob Primmerman. Goldilocks lVlcCarron. Stan Janusas, and a few others will rest the fate concern- ing victories and losses this year. There are still. of course, the old faithfuls. Fawcett, Michelson. Genetti. Waldroup. and a number of others who will con- tribute their abilities for the welfare of the team. To date, four games have been played and of the four, Lexington has won only one. the Howe contest. This would serve to indicate that the team is not headed for any championship this year, but, at the same time, we cannot help but say that we feel pretty sure that they will give more than a good account of themselves during the forth- coming season.

Pinnes of Penzancef' on the evenings of hlarch eleventh and twelfth. Ably coached and drilled by Mrs. Sandberger and Mr. Heggie, the entire cast of sixty performed so well as to warrant unusually en- thusiastic audiences and glowing newspaper accounts, Those whose outstanclf ing musical and dramatic ability won them the leading roles were John Kelly. Virginia Chace, Jane Willard, David Boyd, Donald Shaw, and Donald Simons. The cast included three choruses. of which that of the policemen deserves special mention for bringing down the house with its excellent acting. The scenery and costumes. under the direction of Mr. Hart and Miss Rhoades respectively. if posQble,even surpassed those of Pinafore ln generaf the sucuws of the whole presentation seems fully to warrant the production of another like it next year, l 52 l 1939 LEXINGTON HIGH ScHooL French Club Enthusiastic response to the French Club must be heartening to those who hope that American education is not becoming a matter of hilarious societies. This year, French Club attendance has been greater than ever of those who have come to speak French where only French is spoken. While promoting an in- terest in the country of France itself, with its interesting people, its customs, and culture, it is simply a matter of games, movies, plays, and songs. Even refresh- ments have the French touch. Robert Nelson, president, guides the club in French. Barrett Thompson, Junior Program Chairman, has selected for the club a variety of interesting programs, such as the Christmas play. It's Mary McCormick's French food that is tasted on the refreshment table. All in all, it is what one enjoys remembering that he takes from the French Club, plus the fun of being together, plus the interest in France itself. Camera Club The art that is sweeping the country has responded in school-in the Camera Club. To End and train Juniors for the Photographic Department of the Spotlight is one object, but worthwhile discussions on photography itself attract the club's interest. Inspired by the table-top marvels of its president, Doug Wilson, it does beautiful work. The club is yet new, but competition in the Second Annual Camera Contest has kept the club on a full job. Foreign Policy Association This year students have attempted to understand more than ever the why's and how's of this evil-threatened world through membership in the Foreign Policy Association. Of the state-wide student membership, the largest is from Lexington. The association invites speakers such as Harold Laski, Major Eliot, Vincent Sheehan, to present forty-five minutes of their views upon some vital subject, usually coinciding with the latest headline feature. The object is to throw light upon a situation, not to form opinions. There is ample opportu- nity for criticism, contradiction, and questions-even students themselves do- nating their ideas. American Problems Excursions lf teaching by experience is teaching wisely, then the American Problems Excursions are the answer. To understand social conditions well, the student should see for himself. While studying housing, for instance, the class visited the new houses in Lexington, getting the latest tips on quality, economy, and comfort. A chapter on crime called for a visit to the Concord Reformatory. A sad chapter on the blind was illuminated bv a visit to the Perkins Institute for the Blind. Future trips are Lyman's School for Boys, Middlesex Sanatorium, Quabbin Reservoir, etc. Transportation by cars makes it attractive. There is no organization: it is simply an optional method of learning. not by books and lectures, but by the actual experience. l53l LEXINGTON HIGH SCHGOL 1939 Theatre-Going Students have discovered this year advantages of economy in the study of literature by attending the theater, not individually, but with a group. The productions. usually coinciding with class work, can be discussed by the class as a whole. Christopher lVlarlowe's play, Dr. Faustus, headed the season, while Macbeth followed soon after. Having critically studied the latter in class, the class found the performance real and meaningful. Both were Federal Theatre projects, with excellent casts. Band 1938-39 marks Mr. Glazer's first year as director of the Band. Under his guidance, the band has slowly but successfully united and harmonized. The band was seen at all football games, a few basketball games, occasion- ally, at an assembly. Those who attended the Boy Scout Revue, the Christ- mas Pageant, and the Parade know the band's merits. lt played in the concert at the Town Hall and is planning to enter the Eastern Massachusetts State Band Festival. The band is composed of about thirty-five from both Junior and Senior Highf It is equipped to play marches and festival music well. One of its aims is to arouse more enthusiasm from school and town alike. ln this aim, it is slowly succeeding. Mr. Cilazer, who has played in some of the best bands, most certainly de- serves credit for his work in building up the band to its present standards. Spotlight g This year the name Spotlight is on a photographic cover, but added literary support has made it far more substantial. Although it is intended to serve as a medium of expression for the entire school, the staff members find much journalis- tic training. In January, the staff attended the Northeastern Press Conference, lasting all day, where many full-fledged journalists spoke. Betty Vaughan. Norman Hayes, and Ernest Giroux fFuture Editorb head the staff: Shirley Rus- sell and Jean Ferguson head the literary department, while the credit of splendid photography goes to Doug Wilson. Stories have been added, editorials en- livened, and features introduced. Chess Club This year, extra-curricular mathematical interest appeared in a chess club. At present it is in tournament stage. with a fellow named Dave Gifford in the lead. Only a game, chess is nevertheless excellent mental training: attracting but little enthusiasm, it is the enthusiasm of fine minds over a difficult problem. Not aspiring to social ideals, the club simply serves to represent strong interest in Mathematics. l54l 1939 LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Senior Play Under the able direction of Mr. Albion Hart, the Senior Class, for the first time in many years, presented a play. Captain Applejackn is a light fantasy. Mr. Ambrose Applejack, a middle-aged English gentleman, feels the lure of ad- venture and decides to sell his house in order to End excitement and romance. During the course of the play, Ambrose finds these two desires right in his own living-room. At the end, he decides that as he has had enough adventure, and as he has found romance, he will settle back again to his usual routine in his Own quiet home, Besides those in the cast, there were several committees, all com- posed of Seniors. All these put together produced a most successful play. CAST Lush . .
