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.

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.

BUYS BASKETBALL Despite the handicap of inexperience, the 1952-1953 boys’ basketball team retained its spirit of fair play, good sportsmanship, and drive throughout the whole season. The ten boys who played alternately on the first string were equally matched in skill and participation. Captain Russ Sykes, Bernie Kineen, Eddie Kineen, Don Nottebart, Steve Hauser, Paul Glennon, Phil Harding, Gardner Rice, Ronnie Blume, and Tony Busa all contributed their best to make the season a success. Coach Abel spirited the boys to many near victories and his team never lost a game by more than five points. Student managers Bill Karabats and Alden Carpenter were always on hand to help the boys in any way possible, and credit also goes to the members of the student body who avidly supported the team at home and away games.
