The National Honor Society was established at Lexington High School in 1947 as a means of rewarding those students who showed high qualities of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Prospective candidates were nominated by a classmate. Included in these nominations was a record of the nominees’ marks and school activities. The final decision was made by the faculty after careful consideration of the four points required. The thirteen new members for this fall were installed at an impressive ceremony led by the five members who were appointed in their junior year. For the first time pins, bearing the torch emblem of the society, were presented to each member. Membership affords an honor to be upheld not only during school days but also in future years. assembly committe 4 er a oie r ’ Front Row: R. Berglund, J. Stevens, P.

They put every possible bit of pep and vigor that they possessed into rooting our players on to victory. Also, the fact that they did a grand piece of work boosting our school spirit should not be overlooked. Captain Joanne Stevens was definitely one of the chief spark plugs on the team. We'll always jee remember her peppy “Hip-Hip!’’ and her truly dynamic personality. Betsy Ann Lindsay possessed a seemingly boundless amount of energy, along with a winning smile, which made her an out- standing member of the squad. The remainder of the girls are all underclassmen, two of whom are veterans. Ann Cotter and Mary Connor provided that extra bit of zip and vitality that makes the girls a sparkling team. Our new members this year were Edith Coddington, Phyllis Dodge, Mary Whalen, Nola Thomann, and Ellen Samborski. They all gave a great deal of support to our teams and deserve a tremendous amount of credit. We are very proud of our girls this year, for they have displayed the type of enthusiasm needed to bring “wins” to L. H.S. football First Row: C. Nutt, W. Webster, D. Hathaway, F. Martines, J.

Howie Layte earned the MacNamara Trophy for his efforts. Frannie Sullivan received the Matt Allen Award. “Pop” Sherwood should be commended for fine playing and Bob Revou's running and passing were important factors. Ken Rycroft was an offensive and de- fensive standout. Bud Brown was a scrappy quarterback. Pete Bieren played his outstanding game against Punchard. Bob Copp’s fine centering rates him as one of Lexington’s best. Dave Hathaway, the rugged tackle, showed up well all season. Julien Shoemaker’s superb defensive work contributed much to a victory over Winthrop. John Callahan showed the Reading eleven the art of catching passes. Although Bill Ormond suffered an injury, his never-say-die spirit was a team inspiration. Bud Mahoney, the tough luck kid, was the victim of an early injury which put him out of action for the season. At the helm of Lexington’s gridiron men are the capable ‘‘Lanny’’ Cooper and ‘Chet’ Ingraham. _ field hocke First Row: Mgr. B. McAnaul, D. Meleedy, J. Stevens, P. Peterson, Capt. B. Clifford, P.

S. field hockey team ended its season with two ties, four losses, and one win. The team, always tops in good sportsmanship and team spirit, was slow in starting but ended the season by winning the last game. The opposing teams had a difficult time penetrating our excellent defense which consisted of the hard-driving trio, J. Roberts, R. Berglund, and M. Burke as halfbacks, and the magnificent combination of B. A. Lindsay and D. Miller as fullbacks. Our goalie, J. Stevens, did a grand job of keeping the opponents from scoring. We had a fast forward line that did a fine piece of work all the way. P. Peterson and Captain B. Clifford excelled as wings and the speed and accuracy of inners D. Meleedy and P. Dodge and center P. Thayer made them a threat to any goalie. The girls did outstandingly well at their play day at Beaver Country Day School. A record of one tie, one defeat, and one win was featured by two of our girls being picked for the All-Star | team of Greater Boston. B. A. Lindsay was chosen for the first team and B. Clifford for the second. L. H. S. is certain to have a very promising team next year under the excellent coaching of Miss Doris Leavitt who will be aided by the return of many veteran players.

For at the time of this writing, the combination of ability, determination, teamwork, and excellent coaching has made champions of the stick-wielding Minute Men. Their success didn't come easily. The poor skating weather necessitated early before school practices at the arena. The boys deserve a great deal of credit for maintaining their difficult practice schedule, but their efforts were rewarded. The games themselves were standouts. Their action, speed, and fight kept spectator excitement at a high pitch. While playing defensively, Captain Bob Lynah seemed well able to rally his players together, and led by his example, the boys could rapidly change the action into an attack on the opposition. “Pop” Sherwood’s record speaks for itself. He and Bob Revou were a winning combination that rarely failed to score. Bob Copp, as goal-tender, proved a thorn in the side to the opposition, especi- ally when he scored a shut-out during a critical play-off game. Phil Monlagus broke up many a play with his hard hitting manuevers as did Pete Bieren, the leading stick-breaker on the team. Warren Keyes also held his own as a fast playing alternate center. Thanks go to Tom Moon whose capable coach- ing produced such a fine team, and also to managers Mel DeMello, Dave Aker, and all who assisted the team. basketball SROREHSEEETHAESHAESESEROHRAOSEEHSEKER HTH R ERE ES EHD th eee oe f ioe SSSESSESIESSSSSSS SESS SSeS ease sees esses: a Front Row: Coach E.

Last November when “Doc” called the boys for their first practice, it became apparent that the popular mentor would have his troubles if he were to produce another Tech Tourney quintet. The green team lost four of its five pre-season tilts including a five point defeat by the Alumni, but in each of these contests the play of the Minutemen improved greatly. These games plus the daily workouts payed off in the end, as the Abellmen found the victory path against Reading and Winchester in their first two league starts. At the present time the Blue and Gold hold a firm grip on second place in the fast Middlesex loop, with an impressive seven and four record. Captain Ken Rycroft and Joe Busa have provided the main scoring punch, while Dom Ross has been sensational on defense this year. ‘Big Joe’ has dumped in one hundred and twenty-eight markers and is second in the League scoring race. Ray Merrill, who holds the fourth starting slot, has done an excellent job in the back court and the pivot. The fifth position of the quintet has been ably filled by Doug Gleason, Bud Brown, Dick McDonald, Carl Schmidt, Jimmy Furdon, and Ken Cox. Let's take our hats off to the boys who have done their best to bring another championship team to L. H.S. boyketbal LPRELPRELEDOLEES —ELEPPERS DE HE DEES + First Row: Coach Leavitt; P. Peterson; P.

S. girls’ basketball team has turned in another fine season under the coaching of Miss Doris Leavitt and the leadership of Captain Mary Whalen. Piling up the score for our home team were those fast-moving veterans Lee McLauthlin and Mimi Lee. Also playing first string were forwards Marjie DeWolfe and Jane Packard, both playing well this season. Doing a fine job guarding our basket were Capt. Mary Whalen, Pam Thayer, and Alice Damery. Speed, accuracy, and all around good playing made them a threat to any opposing forwards. Anne Smith suffered a leg injury early in the season, and her fine playing was greatly missed. Led by the return of veterans Whalen, Packard, and Damery, and many promising sophomore and junior players, L. H. S. can look forward to another good team next year. f First Row: R. Lynah, D.
