Row 3: Perry Vienot, Murray Dearborn, Janet Kidd, Monica Cotter, David McAnaul, Wesley Dempsey. The student council consists of representatives from both the senior and junior classes, elected by the members of their class. Under the leadership of their officers and the guidance of faculty advisers, Miss Flannelly and Mr. Goddard, they have debated and voted on questions concerning thp student body. Among other activ- ities, this body has revised the constitution, marshalled the corridors and lunchroom, organized dances, and conducted the annual magazine drive. As further evidence of the integral part the student body plays in L. H. S. life, a representative was sent to a meeting held at B. U. of student body members of the neighboring schools. This year our Spotlight staff has been faced with more difficuhies than in pre- vious years. Early in September we were super stocked with volunteers, many of whom, when they realized what confronted them, quietly withdrew, leaving the brunt of the work for a hard-working few. These few organized the former news- paper into a magazine of news, literature, and sports. Under the able leadership of hard-working Peter Zitso, editor, work progressed well. Bill Lyon and his helpers on the business staff succeeded in making the Spotlight a real financial success. Again this year, as in the past, much credit is deserved by Miss Dainty, who undertook the thankless task of faculty adviser and, without whom, there wouldn ' t have been any Spotlight. Left to Right: Row I: Ann Gramstorff, Helen Carr, Chairman; Ruth Archibald, Mar- ilyn Rice. Row 2: Ashton Little, Pat Daniel, Miss Mary Flannelly, June Lowe, Peter Zitso. This year a group of students, with student council representative Helen Carr, chairman, have offered their assistance in a patriotic drive to sell more war bonds and stamps in our school. Their efforts have resulted in a decided increase in the number of bonds and stamps bought by L. H. S. students. This year, for the first time, the Lexington cheerleaders received varsity letters for their enthusiastic support at our games. These happy girls, directed by June Lowe, were in great measure responsible for the fine spirit of our teams.

We arc much indebted to the Assembly Committee for the many interesting programs we have enjoyed during the year. Few of us realize what an almost hope- less task it has been, because of war conditions, to find speakers or movies, or to organize student assemblies. Congratulations are due the entire Committee for their excellent work on our behalf.

The French Club, under the capable direction of President Marjory Reynolds and adviser, Mrs. Leake, is one of the few clubs which have remained active in spite of difficulties caused by the war. With so many seniors working after school, it has necessarily had a membership m de up mostly of sophomores and juniors. Having, therefore, had much experience in the workings of the club, the under- classmen hope to make it as successful next year as it has been this year.

War or no war, Mrs. Sandberger always comes through with a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta that does credit to our school. This year has been no exception. Her choice, Patience, a light farce on love, has had two such talented casts and such able directing that it undoubtedly stands out as one of the best performances our school has ever produced.

The war has brought some changes to the lunchroom, chief resort between 12:15 and 1:55 (fewer ice creams and no whipped cream, to mention a few) Miss Knipp and her stafT have, however, conquered their war to serve L. H. S. students plenty of nourishing food. These lunchroom workers deserve a great deal of credit for the hard work and long hours they have put in to keep L. H. S. students from starvation. icuonari Girl Boy Active June Lowe Philip Lamorcaux Best Looking Frances Eiscnhauer Albert Ross Courteous Janet Kidd Kenneth Blake Daring Jean Cummings Richard Suter Earnest Elisabeth Sorensen Edward Johnson Friendliest Shirley Manning George Hess Generous Daisy Forten Robert Martin Happiest Lorctta Sweeney Hugo Maienza Impish Gloria Interante Fred Hawkins J oiliest Eleanor Fougstedt Russell Armstrong Kindly Janet Kidd Arnold Knox Likely to Succeed Elisabeth Sorensen Frank Hedges Modest Elizabeth Fitzgerald Joseph Moore Nonchalant Dorothy Haskins Russell Armstrong Obliging Helen Carr William Lyon Popular Janet Sweetnam Philip Lamoreaux Quietest Mary Robitaille Robert Fuller Romantic Couple Loretta Sweeney Edward Johnson Studious Phyllis Dowling Wesley Dempsey Talented Marjory Reynolds Harold Millican Upright Diana Warren Edward Harrington Versatile Grace Hodgdon Charles Carota Well-dressed Patricia Daniel Lucien Fradette Youngest acting Marjory Kaye Richard Parkes Zealous Phyllis King Peter Zitso earn Left to Right: Seated: Webster Thomas, Dick Bunzel, Jack Murray, Lucien Fradette, Connie Kitson, Charles Carota, Phil Lamoreaux, Capt. ; Hugo Maienza, George Hess, Fred Hawkins, Doug Parsons, Carl Wennberg.

Although this year ' s team didn ' t compile a very enviable record during the course of the season, it must be admitted that they brought the season to a very successful close with their 6-0 victory over Concord. In that contest the players combined all the qualities previously lacking, to outplay and outfight their rival. Special distinction in this game should be given to the hard running of Lucien Fradette, who has been a thorn in the side of our enemies throughout the season. Coach Cooper and the players themselves realized the ability and talent that the team possessed, but which heretofore had been displayed only in brief flashes of brilliance. Any one visiting the locker-room previous to the Concord game would have had no doubt however to the outcome of this game. There was no stopping those boys. It is indeed unfortunate that the team didn ' t begin the season with the same style of play with which they brought it to a close. The record is as follows: Lexington 0 Wellesley 26 Lexington 6 Winchester 27 Lexington 0 Chelmsford 7 Lexington 0 Stoneham 6 Lexington 0 Howe 13 Lexington 6 Reading 25 Lexington 0 Needham 24 Lexington - 6 Concord 0 Bo, 6 asUUi 1943-44 Left to Right: Seated: Ed Harrington, Lucien Fradette, Charles Carota, Captain; Hugo Maienza, Walter Kennedy.

The Lexington High basketball team under the e.xpert guidance of Coach Doc Abell, and paced by their talented captain, Charlie Carota, swept through their season ' s competition playing brilHant basketball throughout. Their sensa- tional playing was rewarded by the many overflow crowds which turned out to watch them perform. The boys tied with Belmont for the league title, and, al- though they failed to secure the class B title, they were eliminated from the Tech Tourney competitions in the semi-finals by merely one basket. The pace set by this team has culminated in a great season, 15 wins and 1 defeat, for a grand coach and an outstanding array of L. H. S. basketball players.

Row 3: Jack Murray, Bill Furdon, Frank Rymes. Lexington again entered a team into the Eastern Mass. League. Although the team was handicapped by the lack of material, the boys came through with two sensational victories to conclude the season. Captain George Hess and Carl Wennberg, returning lettermen, and John Lowe made up the first line. The second line was comprised of John Linney, Jack Hagar, and Harry Wheeler. Bill Sullivan, Jack Murray, and Bob Montague acted as defense. Sophomore Gene Murray did a sensational job of goal tending, and much credit is due him. Our first victory came at the expense of a very strong Dedham team, with the boys playing a swell game to win 1-0. We give much praise to Coach Lanny Cooper, who spent many hours out in the cold weather practices working with the team. A word of thanks should be given also to Tom Moon, former Olympic star goalie, for his timely assistance to Coach Cooper.

Row 2: Miss Doris Leavitt, Betty Sorensen, Lorraine Baker, Nancy Buckley, Marion Copp, Eleanor White, Nancy White, Priscilla Dutton. Row 3: Shirley Parks, Ellen Fuller, Betty Sweetnam, Merry Moore. The girls ' field hockey team won two games, lost two, and tied one this year in a very exciting season. Under the fine leadership of Coach Leavitt and Captain Grace Hodgdon, a team with real fighting spirit and full cooperation developed. The girls are much indebted to the mothers who contributed their cars and time to provide transportation to the out-of-town games.

Row 2: Miss Doris Leavitt, Ann GramstorfT, June Hosford, Peggy Fitzgerald, Bernadette Kelley, Barbara Parker, Nancy Wellington, Phyl King. Row 3: Gloria Interante, Merry Moore, Ruth Thompson, Eleanor White, Mary Dailey, Jean Cummings. The girls ' basketball team with Audrey Hosford, Captain, and directed by Coach Leavitt had a very eventful season. To compensate for the ineligibility of one of their best players, the team put up a grand Tight at every game, producing some very fine pass work and shooting. Recognition should also be given the out- standing second team for its many victories. Lexington 34 Concord 15 Lexington 14 Winchester 40 Lexington 14 Arlington 19 Lexington 21 Belmont 31 Lexington 30 Melrose 17 Next year ' s team, to be built up on several first-team girls and this year ' s capable second team, should have great success, with Joan Donnelly as captain. AFTER THE GAME IS OVER 1944 We, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-four, being of sound mind and character, hereby now and for all time do make this our last will and testament, on this, the first day of June, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty- four. We Leave: — 1. To the student body of L. H. S. several life boats, in, case of another flood from a broken pipe. 2. A traffic light, to be installed over the swinging door of the library to prevent smashed in faces and spirits in future years. 3. Elevators on all floors! (We can dream for you, can ' t we?) 4. Posts, to take the place of the traffic squad; they would be as efTective. 5. A blanket for the Indian in the front hall; we hear he catches cold from the draughts coming in the doors. 6. A giant picture, hung in the front of 213 to balance the one. in the back, and the picture? Why, one of Frankie Sinatra, of course, so the girls won ' t have to go way in town to see him. We also donate along with this a bottle of smelling salts, just in case. 7. A snack bar and juke box in 213. 8. Good Housekeeping magazine to all untidy scholars. 9. A special soundproof room for the orchestra and operetta rehearsals. 10. A box of nickels, for exclusive use in the pay telephone; remember, no slugs! 11. A helicopter for Doc Abell. (In this you might fly over the boys on those hikes and see that none of them get away, Doc!) 12. Gas masks for times when the Chemistry lab. door gets blown open and out comes — you know what!! 13. A machine which makes bottles and bottles of chocolate milk, at the left-out students ' command. 14. School busses big enough for all. (ha-ha-ha) 15. A horseshoe to Concord High School, with the compliments of L. H. S. and best wishes for better luck next time. 16. Life insurance policies for all teachers who are obliged to sit at the desk in 213. That picture might fall, come a strong wind. 17. A special bus to carry the 1944-45 basketball team to the Tech Tourney. 18. Floor shows for each assembly. 19. A coal shute, located elsewhere than in the middle of the front walk. 20. Invasion barges to take all tests by storm. 21. Automobile lights (like those in refrigerators) in all hall lockers. 22. Ed Harrington leaves his poetry to Joan MacNaught, that is, all that ' s fit to leave. 23. Jean Cummings leaves her twin sisters; need we say more? 24. Jane Adams and Phyllis Burgoyne are bequeathed the feed bag and water pail of the horse in the hall. Take good care of her, girls; she ' s Silver ' s daughter. 25. The Senior class leaves to all undergraduates the right to run to lunch, chew gum, and whistle in the halls. 26. We ' d gladly leave a clock for the library, only we understand that last year ' s graduating class did so; however we have failed to see it. 27. The Senior Class as a whole solemnly pledges to all teachers to hereby forget everything they ' ve taught us. 28. We leave a supply of pencils with synthetic rubber erasers. Well, synthetic is better than no erasers, isn ' t it?? 29. The Senior girls hereby give the janitors permission to clean out the shower drains in the locker rooms, once in a while. 30. Peter Zitso won ' t part with his camera, so you ' ll have to do without it next year. 31. Fred Hawkins leaves his little black book to the highest bidder. It ' s full, boys!!! 32. Beverly Freeman leaves her note-writing ability to any Junior girl, provided the girl likes red-heads!! 33. We leave a can of Dutch Cleanser, for use in cleaning the drinking fountains. 34. We leave to all typing classes new typewriters, with letters on the keys; would that help, kids? 35. We leave a box of dog biscuits in all home-rooms to feed any stray dogs that wander in. 36. John Linney leaves his excess bandages, after he gets through bandaging up, to the Red Cross. 37. To Mr. Goddard we leave a skeleton key; no fun being locked in a closet, is it, Mr. Goddard? 39. We leave all our alibis, excuses, and little white lies to anyone who can use them! 40. We ' d also like to leave the library Esquire magazine, but we were forbidden. 41. Bill Lyon leaves his position as Business Manager of the Spotlight to anyone with a head for figures. (Mathematically speaking.) 42. To Miss Dyas we leave the apparatus necessary for dehydrating an elephant; we think it would make an interesting experiment. 43. We leave to the school the memory of our classmates in the service of their country; please don ' t forget them! 44. To Miss Dainty, we the class of ' 44 leave our deep gratefulness for her tireless efforts in helping us with the contents of this Year Book. Thank you. 45. Finally, we the class of 1944 hereby bequeath to its successors The World, if there is anything left of it after we get through with it. In conclusion of this last will and testament, we the Senior Class of 1944, do solemnly swear that all the contents herein are warrantable and justifiable by law.
