BARBARA BENNETT “She is an angel in a frock.” Barbie is petite, soft-spoken and susceptible to spasms of infectious giggling. She has a delightful little up- turned nose, sprinkled with freckles.

However, Arthur has proved that ‘Handsome is as handsome does” by his splendid work as Treasurer of the Student Council and the Senior Class. ELAINE ALBERT “Versatile as the weather.” It's difficult to tell where Elaine will be next year, for she’s a temperamental young lady with a habit of frequently changing her mind. We do know that her subtle wit and grand sense of humor will pave a way tO SUCCESS. Dance Committee 1; Usher of Senior Play; reporter Spotlight; Foreign Correspondence |.

If quiet persever- ance means anything, she'll make her way to the top of the ladder. Dramatic Club; A.S.A. “Opportunity to do mischief is found 100 times a day.” Hidden behind Robert's calm, serene exterior, there is somewhere a little imp of mischief. We have some- times wondered why he dashes out of school so abruptly. Soccer 1; Science Club 1; Oper- etta 2; Orchestra 3; Band 2. MATTHEW ALLEN “Enjoys all—all the time.” This happy go-lucky in- dividualist was born with a permanent grin and sense of humor.

MAYBELLE ANTHONY “Truly she is clever with typing and shorthand.” Maybelle is the pride and joy of her typing and short- hand teacher. Although she is very quiet, she will no doubt become a great suc- cess in the business field. Om Aandi O Ade? MARY APPOLLONIO “Quiet and reserved.” Mary, conscientious and dependable, takes a great interest in her school work. Everything she undertakes is done with enthusiasm. We predict that she'll find little difficulty in overcom- ing competition in the busi- ness world. WILLIAM ARNOLD “Oompah!” Who is that behind the horn? Bill, will leave be- hind him many who will never forget his tooting in the band and orchestra. Soccer 2; Dance Committee 1; Travel Club; Shop; Chemistry Club; Band 2; Orchestra 3. HOWARD ARBETTER “Why should I not let the other fellow worry?” Howie gets fun out of life by ignoring all trouble- some Yobstacles, ‘sich eas studies. He appears to be oblivious to the dreary side of things, much to his class- mates’ enjoyment and very much aware of the young ladies, much to their plea- sure. Golf; Athletic Club. ARCHER BALLOU “A Friend to all mankind.” With his keen sense of hu- mor and his every ready wit, Archie is sure to make any situation agreeable. For the person who wishes a companion who is a sport and a good fellow, we elect Archie. : Hockey 3. RICHARD ARCHIBALD “Life's just a bowl of cherries.” Archie is a jovial, well- liked fellow who is profici- ent in athletics. We've all learned from him that clothes make the man, for his baggy tweeds and flashy socks have never failed to escape the admir- ation of the fairer sex. Football 3; Track 3; Hockey 3; Committee 2; Dance Athletic Sitio) H, MARY BALLOU “The secret of being loved is being lovely” Mary has lovely brown hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a dazzling smile. We all think much of Mary. Basketball 1; Job Hunting Club; DES Ae LEO BARRY “To a young heart everything isin. The name Leo signifies pleasure to everyone in his classes.

Football 2; Baseball 1; Hockey the MARJORIE BOONE “A soft answer turneth away wrath.” Margie is so quiet, wed never know she was around if we didn't have her grin to greet us.

JUNE BARTLETT “A spirit so still and quiet.” June is one of those quiet girls whom everyone likes. She has been a member of both hockey and _ basket- ball teams. Reading is her favorite amusement. Field Hockey 2; Basketball 1; Job Hunters Club; A.S.A. JOHN F. BROWN “Speech is great but silence is greater.” John has many surprising qualities, and it is our sin- cere hope that his college will gain from his presence as much as we lose by his absence. Soccer l. ROBERT BEECY “Small but mighty.” Although small, Beecy is known mainly because of his distinguished athletic achievements, but that is not all. Always cheerful, he possesses a talent for mak- ing friends. Ice Hockey 3; Football 3; Base- ball 2; Athletic Club 2. JOHN BURBIDGE “Deeds, not words.” A quiet unassuming lad, John is none the less con- genial. His perseverance, combined with his sincerity, will make for him many friends. Chess Club. ROMEO BUSA “Little mite full of dynamite.” Romeo, with his technique, grace, and speed, is a joy to behold on a gridiron or basketball” tloor lt 1s not only the athletic coaches who will grieve to see him go, but his classmates, all of whom are his friends. Basketball; football; President of Blue and Gold Club. HELEN CHRISTENSON “A form of life and light, laugh- ing eyes and manner bright.” Helen flits around having fun, enjoying everyone and everything. However, she finds time to make a thorough fine job of her many and diversified activ- ities. @iGA Ora laBaseballal: DOROTHY BYRNE “Oh why should life all labor be.” Dorothy, whose dancing ability is the envy of many, will surely make a success- ful stenographer, for her sense of rhythm «should make the old typewriter hum. ASA. ELIZABETH CLANCY “Style is the dress of thought”. Anyone who can dress the way Bette dresses will al- ways have a crowd around. Her friends will testify that spontaneous laughter, good sense of humor, and ever- lasting high spirits are hers. Everyone agrees that there is one and only ‘'Bette.” Field Hockey 1, Manager; Bas- ketball; Archery. THOMAS CHAMPNEY “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” Silence, despite its prover- bial worthiness, has in the case of Tom, forestalled any reading of his inner charac- ter. Through his cheerful- ness, sincerity, and courtesy he has acquired many true friends. Soccer 1; Track 2; Travel Club. MILDRED COCHRANE “She is a winsome wee thing’. Millie is cute, attractive, friendly, and although very tiny, she make us realize that good things come in small packages. Those who know her will surely vouch for her genuine quality. Foreign Correspondence Club 1; A.S.A.; Senior Play; Marshal. JEAN COMMONS “Nice things come in little packages.” Remember the little colored girl in our senior play? That was tiny Jean all blackened up. | doubt if shell ever forget the time she had getting that make- up off. Incidently Jeannie does a neat job of reciting. Senior Play; French Club 1; Archery 1; Spotlight. ROY COOK “A sunny temper gilds the edges of life’s blackest cloud.” Roy's eternal cheerfulness and fellowship make him the sort of person without which life at school, or for that matter anywhere, would be incomplete. We might wish him the best of luck, but such is the man that it is quite unnecessary. Baseball 1; Volley Ball 1; Bas- ketball 3. JOAN COMMONS “She is good as she is fair.” It can easily be seen by the picture that Joan enjoys having a good time. She may look quiet, but get her interested and you will find she can talk on almost every subject. Tennis 1; Band 2; Orchestra 1. FRANCIS CULBERTSON “And still be doing, never done.” Fran is a welcome addition to our Class, as he would be anywhere. Perhaps, this is because of his Scout work in which he is very active. We have less hesi- tation in saying it of him than we would of anyone else. He is and always will be an asset. RITA CONVERSE “It's the little things that count.” This is Rita. What would school be like without her? To her life is just one little chat after another. Every- one knows Rita as her cheerful smile has won her a host of friends. Job Hunting Club 1. PHILLIP CURRA “Smile and be happy.” Phil is the strong, silent type and the possessor of a captivating smile. He has almost exhausted the libra- rys supply of exciting novels, he gallops through them so quickly. ERNEST CUTTER “Eyes of mischievous blue.” Who's behind those mas- terful blue eyes? Why, of course, Ernie, who hates to miss activity. He is every- one’s friend and has a con- genial nature. Football 1; Tennis 2; Operetta 8h. HILDA DOLAN “She possessed a talent of pro- ducing effect in whatever she did.” Where would all the dan- ces and social events of our school have been if it were not for Hilda's unique ad- vertisements? It would be sad even to think of it. She has contributed much of her time in helping our school paper with her clever cartoons. Our school certainly is deeply indebt- ed to her. Field Hockey 1; Tennis 1; Arch- ery 1; Yearbook 2; Spotlight 1. CONRAD DELFINO FRANK DIAS “A spirit so still and quiet.” “Pleasant and affable to all.” A . quiet, conscientious Conrad gave few an op- portunity to really know him; through reticence, or modesty, he has remained scholar is Frank.

VIRGINIA DOMINGS “Softly speak and sweetly smile.” The friendly smile and quiet manners of short, brunette Virginia have at- tracted a close circle of friends for her. RICHARD DUNHAM “Quiet fellow full of fun.” Although quiet and unas- suming, Richie rarely misses a trick. Outside of school, his one love is the wide open spaces. Given a gun and some traps he’s in his element and roams. the fields and woods reveling in the unrestricted freedom. RAYMOND DURLING “Live for something.” Ray is a small boy who makes up for his lack of stature with his marvelous ability with his hands. Nothing suits him better than to take machines apart and assemble their parts again. Senior Play; Operetta 3; Avia- tion Club 3; Boys’ Glee Club. WARREN EMPEY “If silence is golden, then Warren is a millionaire.” Once upon a time, the Sphinx and Warren held a contest to see who could go the longer without say- ing anything. Needless to say Warren won hands down. As a result we know very little about him, but believe he will undoubtedly be a great success. LAWRENCE DUTTON “To, know him is to like him.” Larry's flare for athletics, namely, track, soccer, and hockey, has earned him quite a reputation. Behind his bashful exterior is a love for the downbeat and by that we mean he's a hot drummer who swings a mean pair of drumsticks. Soccer 2; Football 1; Track; Hockey 1; Senior Play; Treas- urer of French Club; Athletic Gulls. HARRY FISHER “Thought is deeper than all speech.” Harry is one of the more reserved members of our _class. He is well liked by both students and faculty. He is serious and hard- working. He has plenty of that good old ‘do or die” spirit. His soccer and track give concrete evidence to the above statement. Soccer 1; Track 3. BARBARA ELDER “Seek and you shall find.” Through her determination and thoroughness in a- chieving what she sets out to do, Barbara has won a high place in the heart of Lexington High School. Dance Committee; O.G.A.; Press @luiley President; Spotlight; Band 2. FLORENCE FITZGERALD “She brings a smiling visage to the glass — and meets a smile.” Florence's dimples are pro- vocation and always show at the tiniest smile. She says her passion is cOow- boys because they are bow-legged. We wonder if she'll find any in the hos- pital when she’s in training. Spotlight; A.S.A. ROSALIE FITZGERALD “A pleasant girl with a pleasant smile.” In the spring the young girl's fancy turns to — walking. Besides, she can always patronize the movies if her feet let her down. Spotlight; A.S.A. DOMINIC FRANCESCHELLI “Mind moves matter.” This quiet, unassuming youth is noted for his brain power. No one can deny the capability and _ thor- oughness with which he does whatever work is given him. BETTY FLAHERTY “And who shall curb your swift- ness in the forward race?’ Bette will always be re- membered as one of Lex- ington High’s most excel- lent basketball players, ending the season as high scorer. Although basket- ball was her most favored sport, she also contributed great success to the fields of baseball and field hockey. Field Hockey 1; Basketball 2; Baseball 3. DORISSE FREEMAN “She scorns the men of our fair school. But we outside, where is the rule?” She may be small, but she’s full of pep. Although we do not hear much about her in school, we have heard she is quite a stepper’ outside. Just look at her picture and you will understand why those who know her like her so much. ASA. GERARD FRADETTE “Witty is his nature.” Put a great, droopy mus- tache, a great deal of grease paint, and a gaudy shirt on Gerard and you have Mr. Vichetto, the di- alect expert of our Senior Play. He rolled the audi- ence in the aisles and he deserved the laughs he got. Senior Play; Operetta; Spotlight; Job Getting Procedure Club. FAITH FREEMAN “Thou hast wit at will.” Faith is devoted to the Cape, sail boats, clothes, good times, and especially to brothers. “Fay” is witty and at any time can enter- tain with anecdote. Last but not least, she is a talent- ed scholar. Field Hockey 1; English Club 1; Spotlight 1; Chorus 6. (Ay S Agee ANNIE FULLERTON “The way to have a friend is to be one.” Annie likes to be with people who are doing some- thing interesting, such as swimming, skating, or bi- cycling. Don't be surprised, if in the near future, you hear Annie's voice say “Number Please,”’ when you pick up your phone. Basketball 1; Baseball 3. RUTH GRAHAM “It's nice to be natural when you are naturally nice.” Too few of us know Ruth really well, as she is another of our quiet girls. All her friends, however, can testify she's a friend worth having. AUDREY GIROUX “Leader in studies.” Audrey is the fortunate young girl who always has the right answer in class with very little efforts. Her versatility, congeniality, and individuality have invited many to her side. Field Hockey 1; Basketball; Yearbook, aphorisms; Pres. of English Club; Operetta 1; Pub- lic Speaking Contest. ANN GRIESHEIMER “There is no substitute for hard work.” What would our class be like without good-natured Ann?

HARVEY GLIDDEN “Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.” Harvey is -a happy-faced boy, — yet at the same time — who could guess it? He is very serious. We can say that Harvey will soon be an _ undeniable credit to the school. Club; Baseball; Ice Aviation Hockey. MARION GROOT “In faith, lady, you have a merry heart.” Marion, petit and cute, is as quick at repartee as she is at her studies. She has a ready wit and uses it to best advantage.

Basketball 1; Softball; Press Club; Foreign Correspondence Club 1; Dance Committees 2; Spotlight 2. LAWRENCE HAMILTON “Amiability shines by its own light.” Lawrence is quiet in class and he ambles through the corridors as if nothing bothered him. Studies don’t worry him much but he always comes through suc- cessfully. Soccer 3; Blue and Gold Club; Athletic Club; A.S.A. 3. EDWARD HART “Eat, drink and be hearty.” We suppose everyone by this time knows how Ed’s diaphragm has increased several inches. This is due to the fact that he is work- ing over at Hartwell Farm. Maybe he’s learning how to cook those delicious chicken dinners. Baseball 1; Dance Committee 1; Operetta 2. GERTRUDE HAMMOND “Saying little, doing much, and smiling always.” Petite Gertrude is a quiet, likeable person. Her ability, coupled with her sincerity and friendliness, will win her an énvied position. 0O.G.A.; O.A.T.; Spotlight 1. DONALD HAWKINS “You are a good and true man.” Donny maintains a very modest, retiring attitude during classes, but in the football field, he is a dif- ferent person.

Chess; Aviation; French; Dance Committee; Senior Play. GLADYS IRWIN “How far this little candle throws its beams.” Gladys is a cheerful and friendly member of our class. Quiet and capable, we feel sure she will cer- tainly go far in any voca- tion she may select. O.A.T. and O.G.A.; Spotlight 1. FRANK HUDSON “A faithful friend is better than gold.” Modesty and good fellow- ship are Frank's’ strong points.

STANLEY JANUSAS “The man who blushes is not quite a brute.” Stan is unusually quiet and given to blushing most be- comingly. He is a great asset to the golf team and is he an expert!

SPENCER JOHNSON “Greatness knows itself.” Spencer is generally ac- claimed as an all-round good scout who possesses that rare combination of be- ing an honor student and of being a first class athlete.

Field Hockey 3; Basketball 2; Baseball 3; Dance Committee 1; Home Room President; Mar- shal; A.S.A. BEATRICE KIRKLAND “A tripping, dainty miss, with spirits high.” ‘Bea's’ passion is dancing and we know how neatly she flips over and around and up. Her crowning beauty is her lustrous black hair which (how unusual) is naturally curly. O.A.T.; Baseball; A.S.A. 1. MINERVA KENNEDY “With hair dyed in sunlight.” Golden hair, blue eyes, and a bright smile are all Minerva's. We won't soon forget how Virgil imitated her or the fun we had in Math class. Attractive and congenial, she has the abil- ity to make friends easily. Field Hockey 1; Baseball 1; A.S.A. ELSIE LOWE “To know her is to love her.” Blonde Elsie is an unassum- ing young lady, who is one of our most popular busi- ness students. She is noted not only for her excellent work, but also as a good dancer. FRANK MacINNIS “A modest man, he never talks of himself.” Ned is so quiet and unas- suming in his every day school life, that others who don't know him perhaps underestimate his value to Lior Builialkvtosany,cin= lete, particularly a_ track man, and you'll soon re- alize his merits. MARY McDONNELL “Circumstances? Why I always make circumstances.” Mary can show anyone up on a dance floor and, we'll let you in on a secret, she keeps in trim playing bas- ketball. Certainly no one can say she isnt popular with the boys and girls alike. Swing Club; A.S.A. LOUISE McCAUL “A likeable miss, joyous and gay.” Louise likes skating — but not by herself.

Faithful in doing his lessons, we are almost en- vious of his splendid ability to.shckiioah DONALD NICKERSON “The little fooling men have made a great show.” Don, a fun-loving and good natured fellow, shows his accomplishments in play- ing practical jokes. When- ever he does apply him- self, he shows he is very capable, however. Tennis 2; Ice Hockey. JANE OSBORNE “Quiet, diligent and affable.” These quiet girls are kid- ding us — you can tell by their eyes. No one with laughter in her can be silent for long. Fess up, Jane, you're not always quiet, are you? HERBERT PETERSON “Life is but a jest.” Herbert is known to all his many friends and pals as Pete. Smiling and jolly, Pete has always had many a welcome, witty saying for every dull moment. Pete may not end up a student at Oxford, but he certainly will be remem- bered by his class of ‘41. Travel Club. HAZEL PATTERSON “Pleasure and action make the time seem short.” Take a good look at Hazel. You should see her fingers fly over the keys.

Coach “Unc” Perry said that he considers this year’s team the best in five years, but the old injury jinx and just plain lack of reserves often tipped the scales the other way. Time and again, the victory was wrested from them by the fresh substitutes whom the small Lexington squad could not hope to match. The weather wave also stepped in and robbed them of the Maynard game and worst of all the traditional Thanksgiving Day game with Concord. Nevertheless every man, led by Captain Romeo Busa, went out and played the best football and the hardest football he knew how. No team could do more and they really deserve plenty of credit.

Also besides the regular league competi- tion, our Lexington High School booters took on the powerful New Bedford Vocational and New Hampton Prep teams, and eventually rounded up the season with a record of 9 wins, 3 loses, and | tie. Matt Allen was the league's leading scorer with 14 goals to his credit. Matt and Capt. ‘Lotty’’ Hamilton, seniors, along with Bob Johnsen and Johnny Costa, juniors, were selected to play on the B. B. League's all-star teams. The seniors whose excellent play will be missed next year are Capt. Hamilton, Matt Allen, Frank Hudson, Laurence Dutton, and Joe Reilly; but with such a crop of-experienced juniors as William Smith, Norman Garland, Clarence McElman, Lester Dutka, Bob Johnsen, Gilly Hall and Bill Cofrin, to mention a few, next year’s tea m should have no trouble continuing this year’s good record.

Charley Vaughan, they invaded Tech's gym where after a very creditable showing, they were moved out by only three points in a grand battle with Milford High. The regular season itself was a credit to every man on the squad; perhaps the highlight was the two defeats handed to the stellar Weston High quintet. These two defeats gave Lexington the honor of being the only team to beat Weston in two years. Some of the other stand-out players besides Capt. Vaughan were scrappy Romeo Busa, Danny Busa, brilliant Johnny Costa, big George Bullock, and all-Middlesex and all-Tech center Joe Busa. This year’s team will be long remembered in terms of the scoreboard and in terms of spirit as one of Lexington’s finest basketball teams.

Dick Archibald, Spencer Johnson, and Hugh McQuillan were the only returning letter men; Bob Beecy glorified his last year with All-Star honors. Charles Bridey of Cambridge coached the hockey team. His careful, hard, and steady work put the team on top; Mr. Bridey was one of the best liked coaches of the year. Archibald, Johnson, and Beecy were picked for the league All-Star team. Their team for the first time beat its rival, the Bay Stater’s, and then went on to be the first Massachusetts schoolboy team to beat the Greater Boston All Stars 5-3. Archibald was the league's high scorer and also the All-Star games star and high scorer. HCHEDULE Lexington Z Somerville 0 Lexington 4 Dedham 3 Lexington 2.

Other veterans be- sides Larry Dutton include Dick Archibald and Bob O’Brien as quarter milers, Donald Sands as a half miler, Johnny Dodge, Clarence McElman and Johnny Costa as dash men. Matt Allen, our high-jumping ace will probably be the leading scorer in the field events, ably assisted by those just mentioned and by many other promising sophomores and juniors out this year for the first time. The winning tradition set by previous teams provides a high standard to shoot at, but with the spiri t and ability which are in evidence in this year’s squad, the 194] season should prove to be no blot upon our brilliant record.

Captain Bob Primmerman will probably be hold- ing down the 3rd sack when he’s not on the mound; versatile Jack Whalen ably fills the short-stop position; Dinty Moore, a very promising sophomore, looks like a sure bet at the keystone sack; Charlie Vaughn will be at his old first base position, while scrubby Bud Welsh will be back behind the plate. The pitching staff presents a formidable array of experienced men in Joe Maienza, Stan Janusas, Lefty Glidden, and Shaper Dailey. Bill Smith and Bob Beecy roam the outfield along with one of the moundsmen just mentioned. Belmont, last year’s Middlesex League champion, is the big rival this year, but with such a colorful aggregation and such a wealth of promising reserves, Lexington should be a hard team for Belmont or any other of the Middlesex League teams to beat. PRIMMERATAN. ENNIS Last year’s tennis team was one of Lexington’s best, and this year’s team should be even better. In Captain Bob Johnsen, Lexington has probably the finest school boy tennis player in this section of the country. Bob is seeded first in the Junior Division in New England, and should prove invincible in all his high school meets. Les Dutka, another excellent player will probably play second singles, and Ernie Cutter will play third. Bud Whitney, Don Nickerson, Lloyd Lauritzen, and Doug Stone are all fine double men. With the ability and spirit shown by this squad, we may very probably capture the crown that has previously so narrowly eluded us. Crolf With 6 veterans and a very promising rookie at his disposal, coach “Unc” Perry is looking forward this year to a very successful season. As usual, Arling- ton, against whom our L. H.S. golfers first will be our keenest and most danger- ous rival. Belmont has been added to the league this year which enables us to anticipate a 12 game schedule. Howie Arbetter, B ob Cushman, Bill Wood, Jim Silva, John Armstrong and Sonny Olsen comprise the list of veterans while big George Bullock, our sophomore basketball star, shows give and promise not only for this year but for future years. With such a squad, the blue and gold should dip this year to very few. ria my PORTER Sb, Lil ay Y eport This year’s field hockey team displayed very good offensive and defensive work, even though the final scores of the games were not as good as had been expected. With the able leadership of Captain Ruth Porter, the players fought with great spirit and real sportsmanship. The season closed with two ties, one with Belmont and the other with Swampscott, earned by the cooperation of the entire team consisting of Phyllis Mayo, Kay Schlichte, Carolyn Nickerson, Capt. Ruth Porter, Marion Groot and Janet Ross as férwards; with Anna Kelly, Janet Smith, Kay McGory, Jean Smith, Connie Fuller, Barbara Suter, and Margaret Wright as the defense. The Swampscott game was classed as the most thrilling of the season, with Lexing- ton being behind until the last forty-five seconds when a final goal brought Lexington a 2-2 tie with its opponents. The second team promises to be a very good first team for next year’s field hockey. Jean Smith is its captain.

We won all our games save two, which were up and tuck all the way and should have ended victorious for Lexington. The first team guard consisting of Ruth Porter, Janet Ross, Janet Smith, and Connie Fuller worked hard to keep their opponents from scoring and to keep the ball up near their own basket, where our forwards, Captain Jean Shaffer, Betty Flaherty, Natella Booth, Kay Schlichte, and Kay McGrory, could score many points for Lexington.

The staff was reorganized and new positions were created. The form of a newspaper necessitated a change in work done. News had to be facts, and the opinions of the staff members had to be confined to the editorials. Boys’ and girls’ sports remained practically the same, but features and news showed a marked difference. The news became the main content and the features became more valuable because they grew out of the news and presented many different points. The newspaper contained much more than the magazine and because it was published eight times a year the news was real news, whereas the mag- azine, coming out only three times a year, contained old news of little interest. The paper is a member of the national Quill and Scroll, and of the Nation- al Scholastic Press Association. This year’s staff has laid the foundation of a good publication and has done hard work on something worthwhile. ae orOriGHt Number 4. Lexington High School, Lexington, Mass., January 1941 Proposal to Ch ange A. S. A. Budget SPOTLIGHT NEEDS $110 As the Student Council Meeting commenced this morning, Jan. 22, Arthur Jellis, the much-worked Treasurer of said organization, brought to the attention of the Council the fact that our school paper, “The Spotlight,” is sched- uled to have a deficit of $110.00 by the end of the school year. This means in plain words that unless the student body gets behind this monthly edition it will be no more. As a tentative plan the Treas- urer suggested that we revise the A.S.A percentages that go to each activity and balance the budget. The term to balance the budget means to apportion the income of the A.S.A. among the various ac- tivities in the way which seems the fairest. Since the revision of the percentages would hit the oper- etta, senior play, and class dances the objection was raised that the senior class would be the loser not so much this year but in other years to come, Lest we judge before we are ful- ly acquainted with the situation, let us study the aims of the A.S.A. These aims were to further school spirit, to help the A.A., and to help the various activities, The results: the A.A. has been helped, school spirit is better, and the var- ious activities have no fear of bankruptcy. Although all these aims have been accomplished, gen- erally speaking, there is one ac- tivity that is out in the cold. This deficit is by no means the fault of the Spotlight Staff; far from that, the Spotlight’s loyal staff has worked harder this year than in any previous year, There (Continued on Page 4) Plans for Yearbook Change Discussed The yearbook has in previous years been run exclusively by the Senior class. A new plan has been thought of by the year book com- mittee by which the Juniors and Sophomores will participate in the publication, If 75 or more Jumors and 75 or more Sohpomores will agree to buy the yearbook, they will each be entitled to four pages in the pub- lication, a title page and three oth- ers. It is sincerely hoped the Juniors and Sophomores will think over this proposition. You will not only be helping yourself but the Seniors as well.

The members of the Council plan- ning this assembly are Janet Smith, Chairman, Margaret West, Bud Welsh, and Ralph Hume. At a recent meeting Jean Smith was elected vice-president for the present school year. The problem of financing the Spotlight was brought up but as nothing definite was decided a committee made up of Arthur Jel- lis, Chairman, Kathleen Schlichte, Joe Reilly, and Janet Smith were appointed to devise a plan to help finance the Spotlight. Reports were given on the Semi-Annual Councils of the East- ern Division of High School Stu- dent Councils of Massachusetts, which was held at the Reading High, School, by Spencer Johnson, Joe Reilly, Barbara Smith, Dick Adams, and Kay Schlichte who at- tended the meeting.

The names of the three high- est girls are voted upon by the faculty to decide the winner. She will be given a medal at graduation and will attend a meeting in Bos- ton with othen delegates from oth- er schools, At this meeting one girl is chosen to go to Washington as the D, A. R. representative. It will be a difficult choice because there are many fine girls in the class of ’41. Record Absence Experienced 55 Juniors ABSENT ON JAN. 14 Never, as far back as teachers and school authorities can recol- lect, has an epidemic been exper- ienced by Lexington High School students such as the recent one of grippe and flu. Since after the Christmas holi- days when the absence list fir began to grow, anywhere from to 128 students have been absent from school each day. From Jan. 6 through Jan, 20 there have been more than 100 absentees every day. The Seniors have had the least number absent on all days; the Juniors have had the greatest num- ber absent. On Jan. 14, 54 Juniors were not in school. This is the largest num- ber for any one class on any one day. On Jan. 20, only 11 Seniors not present thus establish- ing the record for the least num- ber of absentees, Audrey Albert, Herbert Carlson, Mildred O’Dowd, and Merton Jil!- son have all been out of school more than 10 days. Despite this appalling record, day after day, the list of absente is decreasing. This fact should be encouraging to of us. Work in the classroom has been greatly impeded. In order that pu- pils will not have too great a task in making up all work which they have missed, teachers have refrain- ed, as much as possible, from tak- ing up new work and have short- ened home assignments. So that pupils who have missed work might have a greater oppor- tunity to make up lost assignments the marking period, scheduled to close Jan. 20, has been extended to Feb, 3 It has been thought best by the School Committee not to close the Lexington schools, although thosc in some neighboring towns have been disbanded, The Massachusetts (Continued on Page 4) The members of Miss Spidle’s club, the O.

Mrs. Sandburger informed your inquiring reporter that there was no doubt that it would be unusally enjoyable to all. Mr. Heggie, although he was unable to state whether “The Mikado” would be more difficult for the cast to perform or whether it would be as good as last year’s production, said it is very comical and one of the most popular of Gilbert’s and Sullivan’s works. From what the directors say this operetta is well worth seeing and, we ask you, wha should know bet- ter than they? The male soloists are as follows: Mikado, Robert Johnson; Nanki- Poo, William Sullivan; Ko-Ko, Joe Reilly; Pish-Tush, Andrew Smith, and Pooh-Bah, Phillip Parsons. Phyllis Mayo as Yum-Yum, June Trani as Katisha, Margaret West as Pitti-Sing, and Natalie Hay- ward as Peep-Boo compose the feminine leads. All’ the soloists and choruses were chosen by try-outs so that anyone who wished might have a chance for a,part. In all, the cast will inelude some sixty-five pupils. The list of those people to be in the choruses has been posted, and reads as follows: Mary Ballou, Ida Banks, Natella Booth, Eleanor Brooks, Geraldine Buck, Cynthia Dodge, Doris Donnelly, Wdith Ferk, Connie Fuller, Lillian Har- mon, Shirley Merryman, Eleanor Modoono, Jane Osborne, Barbara Peterson, Cynthia Peirce, Norma Price, Carol Putney, Frances Rich- ter, Harriet Roberts, Helen Sar- gent, Annie Scipione, Barbara Shaffer, Barbara Smith, Betty Steeves, Katherine Taft, Elaine Vadeboneoeur, and Dorothea Zu- bowitch.

Aiello elelocsfel 5} by a Lexington, although valiant until the end, on Jan. 25 lost to Hudson score of 6-0 in the fastest game of the season, Hudson’s three-man offense, by getting behind Lexington’s defense, were able to get many clear shots. Consequently Goalie Hugh Mc- Quillan lacked the protection gen- erally given by the defense men. Hugh, nevertheless, played a fine game, making several heart-stop- ping saves which brought the huge crowd to their feet in excitement. Although Captain Dick Archibald set up play after play, there was not the customary clicking attack between him and the defense. Even Dick, as a result of a week’s ill- ness, lacked his usual spark and aggressiveness. Dick, however, is ll the leading scorer in the East- ern Mass. League. Last year he missed the lead, as scorer, by one point. In spite of the fact that Spencer Johnson several times stole the puck from the Hudson line in front of his own goal, raced like a flying meteorite down the ice, and flipped the puck to one of his teammates, Lexington just couldn’t get a scor- ing break. Bob Beecy, who seemed (Continued on Page 3) Senior and Juniors Undefeated The Lexington girls seem to have what it takes, for Jan. 9 Lexing- ton’s senior and junior teams took the Winchester teams for a ride. Bette Flaherty was high scorer. The seniors did some nice playing and deserved all the praise given them. The score was Lexington 26, Winchester 18. The juniors played a snappy game with Harriet Rob- erts stealing the show. They won 18-14, (Continued on Page 3) Behind the Scenes of Announcing Assemblies Because there was no school Friday, Jan. 18, the assembly which was scheduled then was pre- sented the following Tuesday.

Jack was suffering from pneumonia and his friends were gravely concerned for his health for a few days until the crisis passed. Now we advise Jack to take things easily until spring by not taking part in any sports until then and by getting plenty of rest and quiet. We want Jack to be in tip top condition for baseball season and the only way he can do it is to carry out the aboye suggestions.

Those who were connected with running the operetta had a challeng- ing spirit because they took on the task of producing the hardest of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas “The Mikado,” which they made a huge succe ss. The Mikado is not only difficult musically to produce but it is also a problem to stage. These problems were taken care of respectively by the musical direc- tors and the stage managers. As most of us know foreign atmosphere lends enchantment. This was affectively presented not only by the stage settings but also by the exotic makeup. By watching the slant eyed lads and the delicate dark haired girls one felt that he had been carried off to the Cherry Blossom nation of Japan. Everyone is familiar with the tunes, “A Wandering Minstrel I,” ‘Three Little Maids from School,” and “Tit Willow” which were perfectly rendered by the soloists and the chorus. The Mikado was applauded as the best operetta ever presented by Lex- ington High School. Sdn (Giri The Student Council, ending its second successful year with its twelve Senior and eight Junior members, has earnestly worked to promote good school citizenship. At its first meeting it elected Spencer Johnson, President; Jean Smith, Vice President; Kathleen Schlichte, Secretary; Arthur Jellis, Treas- urer; and Miss Dainty and Mr. Moyle, Faculty Advisors. The A. S. A. system, which entitles members to attend the three class dances, Senior Play, Operetta, and A. A. membership, and the school news- papers for three dollars, paid weekly in installments of ten cents, was again supervised by the Student Council. This organization has financially aided all its members and has guaran- teed each activity benefitting from the A. S. A. a certain sum of money, helping to do away with any possible deficit.

In tune with the holiday spirit the annual football dance sponsored and run by the Athletic Injury Fund Committee, for the benefit of this fund, was given according to custom, on the Friday following Thanksgiving, November 29 at Cary Memorial Hall. This committee was chairmened by Mr. Paxton, who represented the alumni and Charlie Vaughn representing the team. The color- ful dance floor crowded with many students of both the High School and alumni, danced well after midnight to the delightful music of Ken Reeves. Superintendent and Mrs. Grindle, Mr. and Mrs. Putney and Mr. and Mrs. War- ren acted as the patrons and patronesses for the evening. Refreshments were served during the evening adding greatly to the enjoyment of all present. According to all reports this dance made more money than any previous dance held by this organization.

Despite all the excitement of Christmas when the evening of Dec. 30 rolled around, many Alumni, Seniors, and Under-graduates were found dancing to the music of Ken Reeve’s orchestra. The committee in an attempt to offer unusual decorations, introduced the New Year with pastel streamers and multicolored balloons, which were greatly enjoyed by everyone.

A ROAD MAP There are no traffic cops on the Highway of Achievement. You can go as fast as you please without fear of getting pinched. Also, you won’t find the road overcrowded, because only a few in Life’s Grand Tour use it. “How can you get on the road?” you ask. Let us consult our “Road Map.” Do you see that long, narrow, winding trail? That’s the Lane of Hard Work. Shooting off it, is the street of Honesty. Many ride by this street and never stop, because the road doesn’t look attractive at the beginning. Oh, could they but see its beauty a little way on! And then to that grand concourse—the Road of Achievement that leads to the City of Fortune. Do you think you can find your way? LEXINGTON SAVINGS BANK Founded 1871 Theatre Pharmacy, Inc.

Your nose, barring colds, does all right for ordinary purposes. But go up against some heavy exercise —and you can open up your mouth as well and increase the intake of oxygen. Your 1941 Buick with Compound Car- buretion works something like that. Its “nose,” which is the forward one of your two thrift-size carburetors, does a grand job of supplying “breath” for your engine on normal jobs.
