Cf' Au BOYS' FOOTBALL This year Lexington High School Football team was great not only in its record, but also in the courage and endurance shown by the boys. On the eve of the Concord game the team lost Eddie MacNamara when a tragic auto accident terminated his very short,yet spectacular football career. The death of Eddie, who was one of the most popular boys in the school, had a severe effect on the boys. However, after the boys had recovered from the shock they decided to play the game,because they believed that that's the way Eddie would have wanted it. Going into the game adecided underdog Lexington played inspired football and when the game was over our High School was on the long end of a 7-6 score. The success of the game can be traced to the team and especially to three or four boys who rate special mention for their play. Bud Viano, who scored the touchdown,was spectacular. He ran the ball beautifully and his tackles sounded like a railroad train smashing up against a brick wall. Danny Busa was his usual steady self, and on more than one occasion his long punts got Lexington out of tight squeezes. Lucien Fraddette with all his 140 pounds played a bang up game on the defense, as did Frank Oliviera. At the begixming of the year the team got off to a very poor start by taking a 26-6 pasting from Wellesley. After this game, however,the boys settled down and lost but one game through the remainder of the schedule. This was to Winchester, a team that won every one of its games and also the Class C Football Championship. On more than one occasion did the boys come from behind to tack up a victory. Phil Lamoreaux,the regular right end for the past two seasons, was chosen captain of next year's team.

Qciwrea 074 ' .gpoorzfa BOYS' HOCKEY Although this year's hockey team may not be winning a league championship, no one can say it hasn 't had its share of the thrills. This year the team has done very well in games where it wasn't rated a chance, but in other games when the odds have been even, the boys haven 't fared quite as well. Before going any further, I will present the season's record. Lexington Somerville 2 Lexington Malden Lexington Dedham 2 Lexington Hudson Lexington Natick 0 Lexington Wakefield Lexington Wakefield 1 Lexington Brookline Lexington Brookline 3 Lexington Malden Won---3 Lost---4 Tied---2 The season, although not especially prosperous, has been full of its share of thrills and disap- pointments. Oddly enough, both games have been won by the same player, George Hess, a junior, who sunk two beautiful long shots at very strategic moments. Perhaps the most interesting game of the season was the Wakefield contest. Although the score was very low, a 1-1 tie, the game was very exciting. The team played its best game against Malden, although the score might not indicate such. Had it not been for a few tough breaks, the score might have been 6-2 instead of 3-2. The team as a whole is well balanced, despite its lack of depth. In the goal is Fish Wennberg, a sophomore, who, on various occasions, has looked very good. In two or three of the games the score might have been a great deal higher had it not been for his timely saves. Billy Kenny on defense is the team's most valuable member. He has been a veritable mountain on defense, and his constant dashes make him a decided scoring threat. The first line with McGrory, Kargaard, and little Bi1ly Cutter are fast and clever stick handlers. The second line with Cotty, R. Kenny and Hess, although not quite as ef- fective, are still potent threats. Ifone of its other members could get a little intestinal fortitude, it might help things out. For reserves, the team has Dick Cook, Al Ross, and the ever popular Frank Oliveira. OW ' sgfoorzb CLASS B CHAMPIONS AT THE TECH TOURNAMENT BOYS' BASKETBALL Despite the loss of Co-Captain johnny Yosgandes,the basketball team has surprised everyone by winning all but two of its first twelve games. To date, the team has rolled up a record of 458 points to their opponents' 283, for an average of 38.2 points a game. In league competitions the average is 40.7 points a game as compared to the opposi- tions' average of an even 23. These figures conclusively show why Lexington is literally walking off with the league championship. The boys got off to a shaky start when the alumni upset them to the tune of Z3-23. However, since then, excepting for a loss to Newton, a team which is perhaps the best in Massachusetts, the squad has lost nary a game. Danny Busa is the team's leading scorer. As guards, the team has an excellent pair in Bud Viano and Co-Captain George Bullock. The offense is generally conceded to a person who is just about the best defensive guard inthis school's history, Walter Kennedy, atall six-foot sophomore of exceptional promise, who rounds out the first five. Other boys who have seen service in varsity games are Red Bailey, Fradette, George Buttrick and Hugo Maienza. The rest of the squad is made who perhaps in a few years will carry on Lexington's basketball dynasty.

The other four games were defeats, but the girls on the team showed their fighting spirit and enthusiasm in every one of these games. The forwards consisted of Capt. Mary Mackino, Jean Porter, Grace Hodgdon, janet Sweetman, Eleanor Whiteg with Connie Fuller, Barbara Shaffer, Shirley Rushton, Ioan McNaught, Betty Sorenson, and Claire Houdlette as defense. The most thrilling game was with Melrose, where the girls scored on them. Up to this time Melrose was unscored upon and undefeated. Next year's hockey team is very promising with Grace Hodgdon as captain-elect and six other first team girls.

Most of the games were lost by one or two baskets Cap tain B. Shaffer, Pat Haskins and janet Young compromised the first team forwards and they were as sisted by the following guards: Mona Kennedy, Connie Fuller, Carol Putney, Audrey Hosford, and lean Porter. Haskins and Young will be good prospects for next year's team The second team did a little bit better than did the first team, as they won three games and lost two, both of which were by two or eleven points. The members of the second team were T Ahearn, D Andrews, 1. McNaught, M. Wilson, 1. Donnelly, D. Donnelly, S. Rushton, I Currier, G Hodgkms, and G Interante.

Z Listen Ylellseni K said Threw f out niour chest Monday--Dear Diary, Words can 't express agreat emotion so I can say nothing more than that Eddie MacNamara and Jimmie Fullerton's brother, John, were killed last night in an accident. The silence and sorrow in all the school today expressed our feeling. No one will ever take Eddie's place in L. H. S. When Eddie left our school, something seemed to go with him. 1 don't believe I ever saw him when he was not smiling. He was one of the few boys who could fool in class and not be punished, for nobody could really get angry with Eddie. He was just that kind of a guy. Everybody was his friend, bullies, girls, teachers, and sissies, he liked em all and they all liked him. It was in- deedablow to Lexington when Eddie passed on to meet his Maker. 670455 ibicfionarq I ' I 5 Ma,+Aqal91+g55 194313 T wfwinf e WMM- Lf e,',4,,, ,,,,, Clif'-j f , Mogfiofigreeable r umen a :ve Qww ' ,,.,1,Z5,,j llgf'gf'fS'HC+ +' W eWj, AH'rac'l'ive -C9 Be5+A+me+ gjzimj fm mm, Mosf Bashfgul f gf Charming 5Zel,j7C3wpA4, gif?
