' Lggoorlb GIRLS' HOCKEY The hockey team this year started off withagood beginning with a victory over Winchester. 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.

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.

gif 4' Lgroorfzi GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball team may not have impressed Lexington High School with its record, but that doesn't say how hard they really tried. 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.
