RAID ON BLUE-GOLD NIGHT CLUB NETS HAUL SQUAD ARRESTS 25 IN SOUTH END by GCHucK Peck Twenty-five members of the social register were arrested in a_long- planned and carefully executed raid on the Blue-Gold Night Club last night at eight o’clock. The club is un- der the management of Bob Burke, who had obtained for the hostess the famous divorcee, Jayne Hanson. Amid shrieks, breaking of Royal- Crown bottles, and shooting of fire- ‘crackers, the squad, headed by Dick Gordon, descended upon the club, with five trusty aides, Roland Benson, Dickie Durling, Rit Papen, Vic Lor- ing, and Miller Bestick. Joe Marshall, John Dailey, Henry Harvey, Hank Gnade, and Louis Bent- ley were arrested for violating the Pro- hibition law in the act of contesting for the title of champion Coca-Cola drinker. One hundred cases of Royal Crown, 50 cases of bootleg orangeade, and 43 cases of grape-juice were seized by the squad. Captain Gordon reports it is the most successful ever con- ducted by the force.

SCHOOL FRIENDS FIGHT BLOODY MATCH TO BITTER END by, Mary WHELAN Fifteen shots fired at 2 o'clock yes- terday morning.on Vaille Ave. brought neighbors hurrying to the doors of Perry Vienot and Fred Trimhold, where they encountered a gruesome scene of horror. The bodies of the two old friends lay on the floor in pools of blood. Smoking revolvers were clutched in their hands. Harry Alger, otherwise known as “Hawkshaw the Detective’, and Philip Corbett, alias Sherlock Holmes, have advanced two possibili- t ies as to the motive for this terrible crime. Basing their deductions on care- ful measurement of the floor and the length of the revolvers, they have come to the conclusion that the two men killed each other after a quarrel of five months’ standing over Joan McCausland, one of their former class- mates at Lexington High. Their other deduction is that in the stress of their emotion over the (cont. on page 12, col. 4) SMELLS GOOD 0° LOOKS GOOD FEELS GOOD It is good! fpr.

The bride looked very stately in her Mother’s wedding gown. She wore a long veil of lace and tulle—an antique that had been in the family for years. The bridesmaids were very charm- ingly gowned in pastel shades of silk. They were the Misses Helen Bailey, Lillian Ruocco, Margie Baudreau and Sally Smith. The ushers were Alex Wright, Howard Schofield, Jimmy Rush, and Bob Rockett. After the reception, Miss Mary Osborne entertained with a clever song and skit that was very appro- priate for the occasion. Among those present at this fashionable event were 200 or more of L. H. S.’ers 400. Conspicuously noted were: Dorothy Bettencourt, Eva Brucchi, Ruth Bur- gess, Rosalie Burri, Jean Cuccinello, Sam Goodwin, Stan Harvey, and Bill Larssen.

SPORTS SUCCESS DUE TO NEW COACHES 1949-50 was a phenomenal sports year for L. H. S. Not a single game was lost in any sport. All the coaches are Alumni of °45 and, since the 44-’45 sport year was so successful, they’ve carried their tal- ents to their pupils. You might be surprised to know who the coaches are. George Oldford is coach of football, Walt Kennedy is the very able coach of basketball; Art Nickerson is coach of the hockey team and Don MacLean coaches baseball.

Miss Leavitt’s Field Hockey teams had a brilliant season, not so evident in the scores, but most evident in team work, spirit, and sportsmanship. For the first time in seven years, Lexington tied Melrose 1-1, and the L. H. S. girls then proceeded to beat Concord, up to that time an undefeated team. At the end of the season, the first team played in a series of 3 contest games in Brookline. The girls won two, the big event of the day being that they beat the private school, Winsor, for three years undefeated. Two All-Star teams were then picked, Lexington being represented by Capt. Joan McNaught, Doris Andrews. and Thelma Richter. SCHEDULE Wellesley O Lexington 3 Winchester 1 7 0 Belmont Z re 1 Melrose 1 a: 1 Concord 0 4 2 Arlington - 2 ve 1 T.

The next two games were not so successful, but the second team kept the Blue and Gold flying by winning five straight games. The girls’ only home game with Winchester was one of the best of the year. A good crowd turned out at the gym to see the Lexington girls beat the Winchester hoopsters, the champs of last year. The credit for the team’s good record goes to Capt. Joan Donnelly, to Coach Leavitt, to the entire squad, and to Mgr. Louise Kelley. . SCHEDULE Concord 24 Lexington 40 Belmont ae x 16 Arlington 30 28 Winchester 9 8) Melrose a2 . 47 D.

Due to the squad’s inex- perience—there were only four letter men on it—the first team kept changing to suit the needs. Re- gardless of the record, Lexington had a fine team which worked well together. When overwhelmed by larger teams, the boys kept fighting until the last whistle, making up for their lack of weight in spirit and sportsmanship. At the end of the season, Henri Fradette received the Matt Allen Award, and George Oldford was awarded the Edward McNamara Memorial Trophy.

After a’whiz-bang season, L. H. S. fans looked with hope towards the Tech Tourney. The fight for the State Championship promised to be a good one, with Lexington right up there throwing the punches. We did, but still came out a bit short. Nevertheless, we point with pride at our basketball team—champs, every one! May we here pay tribute to Capt.

For the first time in a number of years, the ice hockey team at L. H. S. has really been going to town. Thijs year the boys were fortunate in getting Tom Moon to train them, and school spirit has greatly increased the supporters at the games. We really surprised a great many people with our record, and the fact that Lexington came out third from the top proves that we have really advanced over past years. For further proof, the Eastern All-Stars may be consulted. There you will find Lexington represented by Carl Wennberg, first team; Jack Murray, Capt.

At the first meeting of the 1944-45 Council in June, the officers and various committees were chosen. A special committee was appointed to draw up a new constitution. The membrs of the Coun- cil chose Mrs. Shannon and Mr. Sherwood for advisors. They were of great help in framing the new constitution and also in conducting the business. The council also authorized a new system of intramural sports, by which the boys who did not make the varsity teams would receive numerals and monograms for conscientious participation. The Student Council felt that this program would prove its merit; for the student will be induced to engage in more sports, consequently becoming a more well-rounded citizen.

Some of the back-break- ing preliminary work was done by a special committee composed of seven members. In spite of the work involved, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, for they ran around from one school to another after information. After the special committee was disbanded, the regular staff took over, and, if possible, worked even harder than their predecessors. But along with the work they also enjoyed their get-togethers in rooms 6 and 207. The members of the staff realized the amount of work they would have to do, but they dug in. The result, we are sure, is pleasing to the class as a whole.

The first meeting gathered a large enthusiastic group of workers. Joan McNaught was elected editor-in-chief with a competent editorial staff to cover all school activities. On November 24th the “spotlight” was once again on.the football team at the annual Football dance. The team and members of the faculty were invited as guests to enjoy an evening of dancing. The first three issues of Spotlight were mimeographed at school and distributed during the lunch periods. Beginning with the Valentine issue, a larger and better paper was planographed by a Boston firm. Starting from “scratch,” each issue has shown increasing improvements, not only in material; but in actual set-up and art work. It is the aim of each staff to put out an A-1 paper to compete” with those of other schools. Our Platform: . Student’s rights .

On December first and second, a crowd of disappointed people were turned away from L. H. S. You guessed it — the auditorium was packed solid each night, there simply was not enough room. That fact is proof enough of the success of the Senior Play. Was the play good? Well, I hope to tell you!! For months afterwards, people were laughing as they recalled Nana’s jitterbugging, Lily’s pogo-stick, and that gruesome automobile crash. The Senior Class may with perfect right slap itself on the chest, and say, “Sure the play was 1� ? good—look whose it was! icc Pe ‘ Assembly Geis: Patsy Whalen, Joan Donnelly, Barbara Birch, Captain Doris Andrews, Jane Currier, Virginia Holland, Ellen Fuller, Irene Copelotti.
