Rae Donald, % = oys The basketball team brought glory to L. H. S. by making the semifinals of the Tech-Tourney. Highlight of the season was the victory over Framingham in the first round of the tournament. The boys got off to a very slow start and at one time in the first half were on the short end of a 12-3 scere. Sport: Then, in the second half, they woke up and started pouring leather thru the strings at a fast rate. The whole team shone offensively, led by Capt. Joe Busa and Don Andrews each of whom got 10 points. Final score was 40-32. The defeat in the semi-final round was administered by Braintree—38-29. Our oys ports team also won the Middlesex League Cham- pionship. Capt. Busa, John Yosgandes, and Bill Smith were leading scorers over the season. On the other hand, the hockey team: did not do as well in the glory department. The record was one win and one tie in ten starts. In the league standings, the boys finished next to last, ahead of cellar-dweller Malden. When they did win, however, it was in a glorious manner. They came from behind in the last period, to beat defending champion Hudson +-3. The tie was with Malden. Bill Kenney and “Shaper” Daily played with the Boys @‘'e league’s all star record team. Daily, who starred all season, had the honor of being called the best goalie in the league by the Somerville coach. Better luck next year. Capt. Bill (Sparkplug) Smith and Doc. Abell’s soccer players did all right for them- selves. There has been quite a bit of rivalry Sports a ® ® between Lexington and Watertown soccer teams during past seasons. So it was with great enjoyment that our booters upset the favored Watertownites 3-1 in their game at Parker Field. The team won 6 other games and finished 3rd in the. Greater Boston League. Capt. Smith and Bob Johnsen were chosen for the league all star team. The record of the football team was 2 ties and 7 defeats. But the record does not tell the whole story. Many of the losses were by 1 touchdown and Lexington was in every gaine right to the end. The Punchard game was a real thriller. Lexington was trailing 13-7 in the last quarter. The Minutemen took the ball near their own goal line and, sparked by Danny Busa’s passing, marched the length of the field for a score and a tie. The Concord game was lost by wasted oppor- tunities. Lexington. got 15 first downs to Concord’s nine. Capt. Charley Macdonald, stood out Danny Busa, and Jack Whalen during the season. Spring sports have not started at this date. But prospects look good. Coming back to the Tennis Team are such stars as Capt. Bob Johnsen, Lester Dutka, Bud Whitney, and Lloyd Lauritzen. The golf team will have Bill Wood, Jimmy Silva, Don Andrews (?), Alex Ohlson, Bob Cushman, Bob Marcus, and George Bullock—all veterans. Capt. Nor- man Daily, Jack Whalen, “Dinty” Moore, and Bill Smith head the list of returning baseball players. The tracksters will have Clarence MacElman, John Dodge, Frank boys Shorts Holmes, Michael Dorton, and Ralph Booker. This besides the hidden talent of sophomores and non-lettermen of preceding seasons. Sports She Capt. elect for football is Danny Busa— John Yosgandes, one of the regular starters on the basketball team, got a tough break when he became ill two days before the start of the Tech Tourney and was unable to play during the regular season.

Girl: Basketball eport The basketball team ended its season with a rather good record. Led by Captain Natella Booth, they won two games and lost three. The following were forwards, Barbara Shaffer, Captain Natella Booth, and Jean Smith; while Phyllis Sheldon, Janet Ross, Ruth Sheldon and Phyllis Noonan were guards. The Arlington game proved to be the most exciting. The two teams were tied up to the last few seconds when Arlington slipped in a basket.

Sune ew: On December 30, 1941, the Senior Prom was held in the gaily decorated gym of Lexington High School. 189 persons danced to the music of the Regimentals, whose leader, Edward West and manager, George Harmon, are graduates of Lexington High School. By request the girls wore no corsages, but several wore “V’s” made of Defense Stamps, for which we are indebted to Mr. Perry who originated the idea. In addition to two soloists with the orchestra, Gloria Simmons, of the senior class, sang two selections much to the pleasure of the students. Sas I Leu “You Can’t Take It With You,” presented by the graduating class of 1942, played to a full house for two successive nights, with Rolland Boddy, Margaret West, Gloria Simmons, Lloyd Lauritzen, and Ralph Hume turning in admirable performances. Greatly appreciated were the efforts of Mr. Robert Cambell who directed. A cooperative stage committee headed by Mildred Dempsey deser ves much credit for producing the necessary properties. The audience will long remember “You Can’t Take It With You” as a humorous and successful production. asi ae bs eomen O the Bid Left to right: J. Rooney, K. Taft, G. Simmons, L. Burke, M. West, D.

Once again Lexington High School is indebted to Mrs. Margaret Sandberger for her capable direction of the annual operetta.

For the first time a double cast was used with Claire McDonough, Gloria Simmons, and June Trani in the girls’ leads I’riday night, and Phyllis Mayo, Mar- garet West, and Jean Smith taking over Saturday night. Capably handling the male roles were Donald Morgan, Andy Smith, Bill Smith, Philip Parsens, Leon Burke, Joe Rooney, and Bob Johnson.

Startled from their usual state of semi-hibernation, the boys were days out of every two school weeks on local farms, besides afternoons and Saturdays. According to Mr, Sherwood the boys will receive about 30c an hour for their labor (in past years boys have been ac- customed to receiving 10c an hour). Giving jobs to boys on a silver platter is not a usual prac- tice among the farmers, but the present offer shows how great the need is for farm hands. This summer there will be many more possibilities for jobs than ever as there is going to be al greater demand for foodstuffs; moreover many farm boys have joined the armed forces. There is no excuse for anyone’s being without a job this summer, because the shortage of workers is even more serious than Mr. Sher-| wood pointed out.
