FOOTBALL Our football team, though lacking depth, was not wanting in spirit and loyalty. The shortage of manpower worried Coaches Ingraham and Cooper at the beginning of the year, but the team proved its capabilities by scoring more points during the season than any other Lexington team in recent years. Injuries during the season failed to faze this enthusiastic group of boys. Bob Perry, Jack Hicks, and Don Nottebart received serious injuries, and they were missed by the team. However the three captains, lineman Les Stevens, center Bob Albertine, and halfback Dave Wells led sparkling attacks against the nine opposing teams. Our victories over Stoneham, Needham, and Reading were especially impressive because the Lexington eleven came from behind each time to win. Although it is difficult to select any outstanding players from this group of equally fit, equally hardworking boys, special mention is due to ‘Junior’ Marques, the little giant who was a deciding factor in many games, and to Gardner Rice, Russell Morash, George Royal, Bill Whiting, and Bud Downey. As the final team in the long coaching career of Mr. Chester Ingraham, this year’s football squad will be remembered with admiration as a team with real punch and enthusiasm, a team that never gave in and fought to the last play.

Coach Leavitt and her group of outstanding athletes had little trouble in maintaining a standard of success and sportsmanship. Goalie Janice Martin held the varsity score to only three points against our team during the last two years, and Marcia Polley, playing her third year on the varsity team, did a powerful job at center halfback position. Marcia Polley was chosen captain for the year. Barbara MacDonald, Betty Cross, and Susan Powers added their skill and experience to the defensive line. Mary Ann Pomposo, equally versatile at any offensive position and Nancy Oldford, team’s high scorer, played important parts on the strong forward line. Nancy Harrington was captain of the junior varsity team, which also submitted a good season record. Cynthia Karlson and Irene Kiley managed the field hcckey team with competence and responsibility. In short, everyone con- nected with the team is to be commended for bringing another successful record to the Lexington High School girls’ field hockey squad. peice Pers Q ye epestes gered ; } exington .... | ea . . “ Charge of the light brigade. . .

This year’s girls’ basketball team overcame the handicap of inexperience and emerged a strong team with five wins and two losses.

Oldford G. Sheldon, J. Martin. In her third year on the varsity team, Marcia Polley played an excellent, speedy game, and Susan Powers was another scrappy defense player. Janice Martin, another third year varsity veteran, and Beverly Chaffee, a new senior who showed continuous skill, played on the high scoring first string team. Team managers Joanne Wilson and Camille Maguire were ever ready to help the girls in any way, and Coach Leavitt produced a basketball team made up of speedy, capable, and quick thinking girls who played their games with an enthusiasm and intensity to be admired.
