Spirit of a Century We present our theme to you this year in the form of a spirit—the Spirit of Lexington High—whose haunts for the past century have been our halls, classrooms, and playing fields. A direct descendant of the indomiut- able spirit of ’70, he represents the persever- ing spirit of our faculty, the irrepressible ‘ spirit of our students, the fighting spirit of our athletic teams. As your guide, he will | lead you through the events of the hundredth year of Lexington High School's existence.

Therefore, to those students, those accomplishments, and those ideals which continually contributed to that progress, we dedicate this volume of our history. We fondly hope that the future years may measure up to the past, be fashioned on the same moral and educational standards, and achieve the Same SUCCESS. Da vet nor eaM ER barr Mei ROE RE Mr. Charles H. Norris, Mr. Richard P. Cromwell, Mr. Myron C. Fisher, Mr. George Wadsworth, Mrs. George P. Morey, Mr. John Blackhall Smith, Superintendent of Schools SCHOOL COMMITTEE Unlike our high school system which is just a century old, the institution of a school committee in Lexington dates back to 1821. First in Massa- chusetts, this committee is credited with recommendations which, six years later, were incorporated into a state law requiring a school committee in every town. For over one hundred years our school committees not only have super- intended the schools but also have visualized our increasing needs in educa- tion. Their foresight has resulted in our new, modern high school. It was they who, having approved the plans of the building committe e, contracted the builders. It was they who, with the help of the teachers, selected the furniture and other equipment, and they who hired the necessary additional teachers. Even though the new high school has opened, the school committee is still called upon to solve many of the problems always needing adjustment after such an undertaking. In spite of the great amount of time, energy, and thought spent, the members are unpaid. Freely elected, the school committee represents, in its highest sense, democracy in education. Administration TU THE STUDENTS May | congratulate you for having the good fortune to be attending the Lexington High School of today instead of the original high school that was opened one hundred years ago. When the twenty boys and ten girls ‘‘climbed the winding stairs to the upper chamber in the town hall’ on the first day of the new high school in September 1854, they entered a room the size of one of our classrooms today, lighted only from one end and having blackboards on the other three walls. Three rows of double desks faced the platform on which stood the teacher’s table. In that one room the teacher-prin- cipal heard the pupils ‘recite’ their lessons, fi rst this group, then that, while those not reciting ‘’studied” Latin, French, history, rhetoric, a little natural science, and a good deal of mathematics and English grammar. Young people who did not take to these studies did not go to high school; they went to work, Since that time the comforts and convenience of living have increased a hundredfold and the opportunities and equipment of your high school have increased in proportion. Compare the conditions of living in those days with those of today; compare that little room and the limited opportu- nities of that first school with your new building and the variety of courses you have now. It has truly been a Century of Progress and you are indeed fortunate to be a student in Lexington High School today instead of one hundred years ago. IND a et [5] Manfred L.

LEXINGTON HIGH SCHUUL In September, 1854, the first high school students in Lexington’s history mounted the steps to the second story room of the town hall. A large stove occupied one corner of the cramped school quarters. Throughout the winter months it consumed vast amounts of fuel, with which it succeeded in heating only a very small portion of the frigid classroom. Poor lighting and ventilation added to the discomfort of the class. Twenty boys and ten girls enrolled for the classes, a turning point in the town’s history. Latin, French, history, rhetoric, natural sciences, arithmetic, and geometry were the courses of study offered to these first high schoolers. The pupils’ original themes, often read aloud in class, were the béte noire of all. The first physics lab room in the The present chemistry lab and classroom 1885 addition to the High School. at the new Senior High School The new Senior High School on Muzzey Street, opened to over seven hundred students on September 10, 1953. 154 Although studies consumed a major part of school time, the students enjoyed some ex- tra-curricular activities which still exist today. ‘The Scholars’ Offering’, the weekly school newspaper, contained editorials, contributions from many students, and original art work by a talented class member. In May of 1855, for some long forgotten reason, the entire stu- dent body rose in rebellion. The student’s belief in their cause resulted in the recess of classes for a week. The manifest determination of Lexington High's first class has continued through one hundred years of the school’s growth and improvement. In the main room of the first High School.

Though not entirely finished, according to final plans, the new high school building was opened in September 1954 for over seven hundred students. Students enjoying the modern architecture, large, well-lighted rooms, and excellent facilities have found this building to be a pleasant and progressive improvement over the building of the past. With greater facilities for teaching, Lexington students now find available a great variety of studies. The school offers college, business, and general courses, homemaking, and wood and metal shop work. Students who enjoy art and music join art classes, choruses, and glee clubs. They plan and organize movies and speakers, as well as student panels and discussion groups, as 9 regular part of the curriculum.

A NEW CENTURY Extra-curricular activities constitute a large part of school life. Students, under faculty supervision, organize and run many clubs and sports activities in which individual talents and interests develop. Especially new is the great interest in intramural sports. Junior and senior class proms are yearly events at L. H. S., as are the Operetta and the Senior Play. “Spotlight’’, a descendant of ‘’The Scholars’ Offering’, presents current school news items and gossip, as well as art work and photography. The yearbook which this year has _in- creased its span from forty-nine to ninety-six pages to include all four classes, records the faculty, organizations, sports events, and individual senior writeups. In a year in which game attendance and school spirit reached a new high, Lexington’s basketball team claimed the Middlesex League crown with an undefeated season. Also in the undefeated class was the girls’ field hockey squad. Extras in sports entertainment were the enthusiastic pep rallies and the alumni and faculty basketball games. Since 1854, one hundred years of progress have been counted. Lexington High School now has entered not only a new building but also a new century which promises greater progress and achievement than ever before. The early west recitation room, 1890.

KOUh REPORT ON ’54 The opening of a new high school building and the hundredth birthday of Lexington High School provided the 1954 Yearbook Staff with a wealth of theme possibilities. The result is the little spirit of a century who, although you have just met him, has been haunting the halls since the first Lexington High Schoo! day. Not only the Seniors activities and achievements are represented, but also the underclassmen are pictured in classes and organizations and are given an important standing as part of our school. A staff of over forty students began work in the fall on the largest book yet to be published by L. H. S. Class editors, the Aphorisms Committee, and Pictures Committee gathered material about the students as in- dividuals; while the candid photographers, Writeup Committees, and Sports Editors delved into the group activities throughout the school. A mammoth subscription drive, carried on by the homeroom representatives under the direction of the Business Manager, brought about the sale of yearbooks. Miss Kinley and Mr. Moyle gave untiringly of their efforts to assist and advise the staff in the preparation of this hundredth anniversary yearbook. Now this looks good... H. Nason, J. Dexter, M.

Polley ON THE SPOT NEWS The Spotlight, our school paper, was managed by Miss Bujnievicz and Editor- in-chief Carolyn Culler, who was aided by her assistant Joyce Herbold. For their profitable activities this year, Spotlight supplied the school with those bright blue and gold book covers that were so popular and sold Christmas corsages to the student body before the holiday season. The Spotlight was a true source of amusement and one of the major factors which helped to bind the student body closer together in their work and fun. It was a friendly and sometimes gossipy piece of literature, almost like that of a really small country town newspaper, where one practically felt that he was talking with his friend about the major accomplishments and events of the year. Special credit should go to Business Manager Patty Wildes and her typists for their tireless work in helping to put out this paper. Also most faithful and hardworking were Roger Collins, Bob DeSimone, and Arlene Fury, who did their work well. All these workers headed by their capable editors and advisors deserved the praise they received for their efforts in putting forth such an enjoyable school paper. au Dear Editor: ‘My point of view . .

Under the gavel of Ann Rosenberger and the guidance of Mr. John Adzigian, the first ‘‘House of Representatives’’ has been an ac- tive service in our new school. This year the House gave approval to the organization of the new Camera Club and to the National Honor Society faculty stu- dent basketball game. Also approved were the selling of coke and candy by the Junior Class at the basket- ball games and the selling of ‘“Lexington Beanies’ by the Senior Class. In accordance with its policy to give advice or financial backing to any organization seek- ing help, the Council agreed to back the National Honor Society’s tentative handbook with thirty dollars. The Council has been a part of other services to the school and to various welfare organizations. It ran the March of Dimes Drive in the school and the first aid kit drive for U. N. Week. In addition, this active group organized a Better School Committee to help the students shoulder the responsibility for our new school, and the Lunchroom, Football, Election, and Pep Rally Committees. Another beneficial action of this year’s Council has been the awarding of field hockey pins to the un- defeated Girls’ Field Hockey Varsity Squad. Next year the House will sponsor a foreign ‘student at Lexington High School. Our House of Representatives worked hard this year and did a good job keeping Lexington High School running moothly. The character and success of this Student Council could only reflect the coopera- tion and helpful spirit of the student body as a whole. Third row: EE. Higgins, S. Stuart, J. O’Brien, J. Bieren, J.

FUUR-STAR STUDENTS The 1953-1954 Lexington Chapter of the National Honor Society has been composed of eight students and was under the direction of their faculty advisor Miss Constance C. Murray. When these students found themselves eligible because they were in the upper third of their class, they proceeded to fill out application forms giving their names, class, and leadership points which were determined by their activities and leadership responsibilities. They were then rated for service and character by every teacher acquainted with them. A faculty committee repre- senting all the school departments then added up all their ratings and leadership points (by a numerical system), and since they came out with the highest ratings, these eight students were elected members of the Society. Chosen for their outstanding qualities of leadership, character, service, and scholarship these people have proved their ability by serving the school in many ways. They have formed a group of students commonly known as the ‘‘Guest Greeters’’, who act as hosts and hostesses at two of the school’s main entrances and keep a record of all visiting guests. At the beginning of school they presented each member of the school body with a copy of a tentative handbook which was compiled and assembled entirely by members of the Society with the help of a few typists. This handbook was a great success since it acquainted many of the new and old students in our new school with new policies, teachers, and activities. In order to finance a permanent handbook, the members have been hold- ing pencil sales at school and have also sponsored a student-faculty basketball game which proved enjoy- able not only to the students but also to the faculty.

Kaleta HER OVERPOWERING WHIM Everyone who participated in this year’s Senior Play, “Our Miss Brooks,” enjoyed greatly being part of the teamwork behind its success. The plot of the play consisted of the troubles of poor Miss Brooks (Patty Shanahan) who was trying to solve such problems as were created by the principal, (Peter Lund), the teachers, the students, an especially annoying wealthy parent Mrs. Allen (Ellie Harris) and her problem child Ronda (Heather Nason), who created havoc during all three acts. Miss Brooks also could not seem to get any coopera- tion from Coach Hugo Longacre (Bill Slade), either from the romantic angle or from the practical angle in allowing Miss Brooks the use of the gym for rehearsals. To confuse matters more, there was great competition between the leading lady (Sandy Traver) and the spoiled Ronda for the affections of the basketball hero and leading man (Bill Cheever). Meanwhile, the backstage toilers, directed by Joe Simon worked on properties headed by Gil Rodes, staging directed by Pieter Mimno, and lights and sound created by John Marsh. The costumes were gathered by Cynthia Karlson and her committee; the makeup was applied by Irene Kiley’s committee; and publicity was taken care of by Joan Dexter. During the changing of scenery the Lexington High School Orchestra provided music. The unseen workers labored to make the Busy run smoothly and efficiently. : Business arrangements were managed by Stu- dent Business Manager Alan Engborg and coun- seled by Faculty Business Managers, Mr. James Hart and Miss Hilda Allen. Alan Engborg spoke convincingly over the school P.A. system adver- tising the sale of tickets. The Seniors cooperation in selling the tickets, the talent of the cast, and the hard work from the back stagers helped to make our play a success. Mr. Cheever, our hard working director, certainly deserved our sincere thanks for his hours of planning, rehearsing, and physical labor. Hold still! — J. Fletcher, S. Bolter, E. Harris, |.

The Operetta com- menced with the appearance of twenty love-sick maidens, all dying for the love of the poet Bunthorne (Joe Simon). Patience (played by both Sandra Bolter and Ann Rosenberger, but on different nights) was the only exception, and the poet gave his attentions to her. The soldiers, who previously received the twenty maidens’ attentions, strongly disapproved of this cultured man. When another poet, Gros- venoe (Dick Wharton) appeared, he too fell for the charms of the lovely Patience, while the twenty maidens turned their attentions from the first poet, Bunthorne, to this new comer. Lady Jane (played by both Pat Kaleta and Martha Hendrick), the comic character of the operetta, was the only maiden who remained true to poor, for- saken Bunthorne. In the meanwhile the still indignant soldiers and their officers, the major (Ted York), the Duke (Ed Martin), and the Colonel (Alan Engborg), continued to vie for the love of the twenty maidens. Thus the plot and counter plots developed through the operetta, which provided much amusement and interest for the au- dience. After hours of rehearsal and time put in up to the enjoyable finale of another operetta, the cast thanked Mrs. Sandburger for helping ing them again produce such a successful per- formance.

SUNGS FOR FUN “A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody.’’ This theme song is a new inspiration of the Senior Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Sandberger and President Joan Dexter. This year the girls prepared for the annual Spring Concert, which featured all chorus groups, and the North Eastern Massachusetts Music Festival which was held here in Lexington. Such songs as the sleepy ‘‘White Swan,’’ the romantic ‘“While We're Young’ and the jolly, happy-go-lucky “Lolly Toodum’’ were among those sung at their regular meetings. Their main purpose was to make good music, achieved by perfect tone and especially the more difficult soft or pianis- simo tone. This choral group’s fine officers, hard-working advisor, and achievement of good music made this one of our largest and most popular groups. Future musical enthusiasts at Lexington High School will be able to emulate the example of the vivacious and hard-working choral group known as the Junior Glee Club. The girls looked forward eagerly this year to performing in the Music Festival and have devoted many hours and much effort to polishing their technique, getting out new songs, and having a wonderfully busy and creative time under Mrs. Sandberger’s inspiration. .

The club owes much to the careful way in which Susan Dunlap and Sandy Butler, the librarians, have carried out their exacting task. The girls are individualists in their choice of music which they interpret with the purity of clear, young voices. Vigor, beauty of tone, and musical range such as theirs are only accomplished by constant practice and persistent interest. The club has become an outstanding organization, and its distinguished perform- ances have been constantly appreciated and warmly applauded. The Boys’ Choir has earned popularity and acclaim, under Mrs. Sandberger’s vigorous baton, by the precision of their rendering of fine music. Though not so large as the other school choruses, they make up in the beautiful style and excellent quality of their singing for their small numbers. That the activities of the Boys’ Choir go smoothly is a tribute to the efficiency of its librarians, Frank Sands and Ernie Stokes. The boys gave generously of their time to the main activities of the year. They performed at the Parents’ Night held at the school on February 8. Also contributing largely to the success of the Annual Spring Con- cert, they ably represented our school at the Northeastern Massachusetts Music Festival, held in Lexington on May 1. They contributed many members to the spirited cast of the much anticipated annual event, the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, the leading singers in “Patience’’ being drawn largely from the Boys’ Choir.

Beginning with a performance for the Senior Play, the ensemble, somewhat reduced in size since last year by the departure of some half-a-dozen senior members, waltzed adroitly through the Northeastern Massachusetts Music Festival and the traditional Spring Concert. The highlight of the season, and perhaps for many years to come, was an invitation to play as a group for the All-State Music Festival in Worcester. Considering the size and youthfulness of the orchestra, this was a signal honor. Several of the members were accepted through individual auditions to play in the All-State Festival with other boys and girls from all over the state. Playing for Senior graduation, its last engagement of the season, successfully rounded out the year for these musicians. Calling themselves the Chansonnettes, eight of the more enthusiastic singers among the girls at Lexington Senior High have organized a double quartet. Choosing several numbers with Mrs. Sandberger’s counsel, they have perfected them by constant rehearsal, their debut being one of the highlights of Parent’s Night on February 8. Some of their favorite songs are “Angry,” ‘Drifting and Dreaming,” ‘Sentimental Journey,”’ and ‘’Sweetheart of Sigma Chi”. Aiming at a barbershop quartet style, they sing in four-part harmony, having plans for joint performances with the boys’ quintet. Second row: V. Cromwell, N. Morse, E. Harris, S. Traver First row: P.

Robertson SEMPER PARATUS The band, a versatile organization, under the direction of Mr. Gillespie, has given much pleasure to Lexington High School during the past year. Giving hearty support: to the team, it played at al! the football games, featured highly in the annual Spring Concert, and showed itself a responsible and worthy musical group. The band acted as host to the Northeastern Massachusetts Music Festival, held in Lexington this year on May 1, an honor rarely bestowed upon a school of our size. Although the band began the year with few veterans in its ranks, it has earned the reputation of an excellent and well-disciplined marching band. This admir- able and snappy group has often performed with real virtuosity before appreciative au- diences, and its work of the past year has certainly been a credit to the school and the town. Some of the more enthusiastic members of the Lexington High School Band have organ- ized the Troubadours, an informal group, with the object of furnishing music for pep rallies and basketball games. Their persistence has survived enforced rehearsal in the wood-shop, and their spirited renderings of familiar band music have afforded stimulation to the basket- ball team and to school spirit in general. With conservatory-minded Al Engborg on the trombone, Harry Robinson and Ed Martin playing clear-toned trumpets, and effervescent Ann Leahy on the bass drum sparking the ensemble, they have deservingly won the praise of their enthusiastic audiences. Whether stepping up the time at a game or agitating for school spirit at a torchlight pep-rally, these musical musketeers have been always appreciated this year. : Third row: R. Draper Second row: C.

In pursuance of its object to promote understanding of the language, literature, and customs of France among upper classmen, the Senior French Club has held meetings on alternate weeks. With the help and advice of Miss Ratté, the members have enjoyed visit- ing speakers, Madame Sabille from France and Gerad Dorged, a student at H. S. T., and one movie, ’’L’Histoire de Poissons’’. The Christmas party, planned and organized by a com- mittee headed Eleanor Harris, was held on December 21, its special features being French- style cakes and cookies. A French skit was put on, and the club joined in singing French songs. Under the spontaneous direction of its president, Priscilla Mather, just recently back from France, the group also participated in French games. The Sophomore French Club, comprised of the beginners in the study of French, met once a week under the guidance of Mrs. Leake. The members of the club are preparing them- selves through this medium for the more advanced activities of the Senior French Club, and the two organizations united in planning a cabaret in the French manner. A show of lantern slides of Parisian scenes was put on by Jo-Ann Smith and Ernie Rogers, and several members have contributed talks on Normandy, Brittany, and other French topics. The club aided the Seniors in planning the French songs for their Christmas party, and they have exercised their ingenuity in devising games that can be played in class to stimulate thinking in French.

The Spanish Club had a seemingly weighty purpose this year but they have had many good times and have fulfilled the program they established last fall to study the people of Mexico and thereby help to determine the spirit of Spanish-speaking people the world over. A speaker, Mr. Everett Bolster, movies, and discussions have helped the members realize the colorful, gay, and emotional personality which is peculiar to those people whose native tongue - is Spanish. During the Christmas Season the Club held a dinner at which delicious authentic Spanish dishes were served. At the conclusion of the dinner members joined in Spanish games. The students belonging to Spanish Club have had a profitable year learning many new things in a very enjoyable fashion. “Will you plan the games?’’ G. Frith, P. Mather, L. Paine, S. Crowley, S.

Undoubtedly this is why Senior Discophiles holds such a large popularity with the students. This club wishes to help its members recognize the existence of various types of music and the qualities of each. An additional purpose is to acquaint the members with outstanding figures in the world of music. “Variety is the spice of life’’ might well be the motto of the program committee. Classical music and jazz, Christmas carols and musical comedies have all been heard. Among the outstanding programs given were ‘’Carousel’’ and Montavani’s ‘Christmas Album’’. Disco- philes members arranged a trip to Boston to see the musical hit ‘Guys and Dolls’. An interest i n and an appreciation of music has been created for the members of Discophiles. Because there were so many students in Lexington High School who enjoyed music, it was necessary to form Junior Discophiles. The purposes of the two Discophile’s Clubs are similar — once again the members wish to listen to good music and to discover a little more about it and the people in the field of music. The Program Committee catered to the teenage interest in popular music by having one meeting consist completely of Perro Como records. Before the records began, a life history of the popular singing star, which made listening to Perry’s records more enjoyable, was given. Just for fun a game of charades was played at a later meeting. A song title was interpreted in pantomime while the club members attempted to guess the song in question. Discophiles is a club which appeals to many types of people who are drawn together by a mutual love of music. Fourth row: J. Lynah, P. Russell, E. McCarron, A. Donnelly, R. Whalen, M. Stewart, V.

Porter GREASE PAINT AND ULL PAINT The Dramatic Club is not exclusively for those who have dramatic talent but also for those who wish to create this special ability. All phases of the theater and acting are dis- cussed in this club. In one meeting demonstrations were given of the types of make-up used on the stage. Various types of acting have been studied and tried by the members. The club sponsored a trip to see the film version of Julius Caesar. The Dramatic Club is another organization that is of value to the entire student body. Ebb Tide, a radio play, was given over the public address system as a school assembly. In addition to this, the mem- bers tried out their newly learned techniques in a night of one-act plays. The plays presented in April were Elmer and the Lovebug, Curses, The Villian is Foiled, and Ghost Hunters. For those with an artistic flair the Art Club is a very worthwhile organization. Members meet, through the Club’s introduction, all types of art both old and new. The club is not a passive group, however, and members carry on experiments with many new methods and interesting mediums. In some meetings self-expression is emphasized. One of the most in- teresting of this type was centered about each individual’s interpretation of music. Members all listened to a recording of ‘’Blue Tango’ and then put on paper a would-be artist’s view of the melody. Many of the Club participated in the National Scholastic Art Contest. Slides were shown of pictures submitted to past contests. Through membership in the Art Club, students may develop their natural talents and are also given a chance to exhibit their products.

Manning SCIENTISTS AND SHUTTER-BUGS There are few students who do not take at least one science course a year; therefore, we have a number of budding young scientists at Lexington High in the Science Club. Quite naturally, this club interests these individuals and, of course, the programs are of a scientific nature. During the year the members saw several movies, carried on discussions, and heard Mr. Robert Cameron, a guest speaker. The activities of the club branch out further than its own meetings, however. A trip to Science Park in Boston was enjoyed by the club in Feb- ruary. The annual Science Fair is managed by the members of Science Club. Every student in a science course submits either an experiment or written study for the Fair, which is held in March. The submitted work is judged and some deserving student is the recipient of the grand prize. Other prizes are awarded in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The Camera Club is a new addition to Lexington High School. The newness of the Club did not hold it back, for it quickly became an extremely busy activity. The entire student body was invited to participate in a Candid Camera Contest sponsored by the Club. Bill Wetherell won the first prize in the contest. Meetings of the Camera Club have proved both in teresting and educational. The members have seen and participated in many demon- strations of various phases of photography. Techniques on the developing, printing, and en- larging of film have been explained, discussed, and experimented on in the members’ ‘dark room’’. The year’s program has also included a talk delivered by a professional photographer, Peter Zitso. This newly organized club is certainly one which promises to remain popular in the coming years.

Help has been given to the community, to the country, and to the world. In the fall seventy-five gift boxes were filled and sent abroad. With true Christmas spirit, the members stuffed twenty- five Christmas stockings full of presents for children in the Metropolitan State Hospital. Members of the Council have helped at Blood Donation Days in Lexington, and, through the help of the Home Economics classes, have made desserts for those who gave blood. A spring project was the packing of a large chest filled with school, athletic, and medical supplies to be sent overseas. Members have fulfilled their belief in ‘service for others and the betterment of human relations throughout the world’’. Our Guest Greeters, or hosts and hostesses, do not actually form a club but are a group of students who operate under the jurisdiction of the National Honor Society. It is the duty of these students to greet all guests and to help them in any way possible. There are two guest greeters on duty at all times, one at each of the two doors which are open during school hours. Through these individuals, visitors are given their first impression of Lexington High School, so it is most important for them to be polite and helpful. From the many com- pliments on the assistance offered to visitors by the Guest Greeters, we may be certain that they have been good representatives. Third row: V. Armstrong, J. Hultman, W.

Dexter AIDES TO ENJOYMENT Each time the football team played a home game, the Football Programs Committee was there selling cokes, candy bars, and programs — not to mention cleaning the papers off the field after everyone else went home. Even when the weather pulled a switch and the annual Thanksgiving game had to be changed to Concord at the last minute, the Programs Com- mittee went along, too, with its full supply. Chairman Gail Sheldon and her committee are to be commended for the four hundred and two dollars — and two cents — added to the Student Council treasury this year. Every other week, the Assembly Committee, with Pat Shanahan as chairman and Miss Smith as faculty advisor, meets to plan special programs for the school. Since there is no auditorium yet, the possibilities for some types of programs are limited. The committee has conducted sports awards assemblies and pep rallies in the gym, and they planned a Christmas program which was broadcast over the public address system. Also, once a week, morning exercises are broadcast to the entire school from the All-Purpose Room. The efforts of the entire committee helped to make the school year a good one in regard to total student body cooperativeness. Second row: P. Nordling, R. Sands, J. Simon, A. Burri, E.

Manning MARE MINE BOOKS Led by Roberta Woody, the Library Staff is a group of students from all four classes who volunteer from two to five periods a week, as well as time before and after school, to help their school by serving in the library. These people check books in and out, keep count of circulation, answer questions of students studying in the library, and aid in a variety of other ways. Once a week, ‘’The Book Bees’’, the entire staff, hold a meeting to discuss ways of improving the library services and to learn the techniques of running a library. ‘’All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’’, so every other week they entertain each other with reviews of books they have enjoyed and make scrapbooks for children in hospitals. At Christmas they held a party. The Library Staff has done a fine job in making the beautiful War Memorial Library a pleasanter place in which to work. Those who enjoy reading, and sharing what they have read with others, have joined the Book Club at Lexington High. Members meet and discuss the books read individually, empha- sizing the author, his viewpoints and purpose, and how each is a part of the whole study of the book or of the period in which it was written. This year, the group concenirated on Dickens, Galsworthy, and other well-known authors. Standing: W. Karabats, Miss Kinley, S. Lunt, H. Fay, C. Culler Seated: M. Rees, H. Nason Fourth row: M.

These students stand in the corridors, on the stairs, and at the doors to see that the other students do not forget acceptable manners in their great enthusiasm to reach their next classes. Keeping several hundred plus students passing without mishap to and from six classes a day is a large order, and the volunteer members of the traffic squad handle it very well. An off-shoot of Student Council, and under the chairmanship of Bernie Kinneen, the Lunchroom Committee sees to it that hungry stu- dents remernber their etiquette and conduct themselves decorously in the lunchroom. Marshals stand by to make sure that no one is in too much of a rush. This year the committee has set up a milk stand in the center of the lunchroom to cater to those who want to buy milk only, and thus has speeded up the progress of the lunch lines. The entire committee has done an excellent job in making our beautiful new lunchroom a pleasant place in which to eat and to meet our friends. Third row: J. Douglas, M. Andolina, E. Kinneen, R.

Helin MODERN MINUTEMEN This year’s varsity football team played with all the spirit you could ask for. Amid the color and cheers on a mild fall day this team went to the field under the leadership of Cap- tain Bernie Kinneen with victory and fair play as their goal. Memorable in the season was Lexington’s victory over Howe High School when the boys trounced the opposition 33—0, The team started its season this year with two losses and a tie before its hidden ability finally shone through. Nevertheless, Lexington was supporting a new type of school spirit which gave a tremendous boost to the team. The squad itself had a deep respect for Coaches Ero Helin and Lannie Cooper, who worked every day with the boys molding a remarkable fighting team. Then, as a final regard for its work, this team, for the first time in seven years, more than held its ground against its powerful rival Concord. We will remember the thrill that ran through the crowd as Captain Bernie Kinneen charged over the line for the tying touchdown . as the team grounded Concord in a 6—6 tie for three periods. Bernie Kinneen, Dick Hale, Eddie Kinneen, Ronnie Blume, and Don Nottebart were out- standing players on the team which were also composed of other hard working players from all classes, many of whom will be the frame for a fine team next year. This was the first L. H. S. football team under our new coach, Mr. Ero Helin, who became famous for his thor- ough practices. The season showed a commendable job done and the coaches, themselves, are proud of this new team and its record. Third row: R. Boieyn, K. Kelly, K. Barkley, Dy ColeGy Spidie™ Ryan, Fa Lone, M.

Sheldon LEAVITT LASSIES The Leavitt Lassies of field hockey really sparked this year in a super-talented team which racked up an undefeated season for Lexington High School. Through the careful training and efforts of Coach Doris Leavitt, a fine group of hardworking, eager, and spirited girls was molded into one of the best field hockey teams Lexington High has ever produced. When the first game came up, the team played its best and started the season with a 3-0 victory. The second game was fought with Winchester, one of the toughest teams in the league, to a |-1 tie. After the opening victory and following tie, the girls went on to finish the season by surpassing the last five opposing teams. The field hockey team credited itself with an undefeated record and a total of fifteen points, all the time holding its opponents to five only. Success for this team could not have been possible without the consistent dis- play of teamwork which characterized the entire season. It is correct here also to commend the offense for its vigorous attacks and its ceaseless attempts to score. Their efforts, of course, would have been futile if it were not for a sensational defense which was constantly on the job ready to stop the powerful forward rushes of the rival teams. Praise is also in order for the fine job contributed by managers Irene Kiley and Cynthia Karlson. These girls set a standard of friendly competition and good sportsmanship with surrounding towns which is beneficial to the reputation of Lexington High School. The Junior Varsity team did a top-notch job in coping with their rivals, and through their continual drive made up for the deficit of inexperience. They compiled a record of one win, two losses, and four ties for their seasons work. Gillingham, G. Frith, R. Whalen, S. Second row: R. Marsan, C. Dymsza, W. Karabats, (Manager), Coach Abell, E.

MIDDLESEX LEAGUE CHAMPIONS The basketball team was this year’s winner of the Middlesex League Championship for the first time in eight years, excluding a tie for league honors with Winchester three years ago. It was the eighth time that Lexington has won the league championship, but this year’s team did it without once being defeated. The quintet began their regular season by defeat- ing Matignon, and later went on to win all of their other games. After such a victorious start the team took on the Middlesex League competition, considered by many experts to be the most competitive league in Eastern Massachusetts. Much to its credit, the team emerged without a loss to mar its record. The next step for this championship team was the ‘’Tech Tourney”’ to decide the Class B State Championship, in which, after three exciting games, Lexington was the runner-up in the finals. An added attraction of varsity games was the sparkling action of the vigorous Junior Varsity team. At many times the excitement for this team neared that of the varsity. Here was an exceptional exhibition of eager sportsmen under Coach Jim Furdon; and judging from the team’s showing, the fans’ hopes for the future need not be blighted by the absence of any on the championship varsity team of this year. Large crowds which followed both teams at both its home and away games were a big factor in building up the enthusiasm which sparked the teams in their close moments to vic- tory. This year’s exceptional rise in school spirit was at its best at these games and was especially apparent in the sportsmanship and effort shown by these teams. Fourth row: J. Borden, C. McCarthy, W.

Among these was the freshman basketball team coached by Earl Turner. As usual, with a new and unexperienced team, there was a lot of hard work and practice needed to mold these interested boys into a highly competitive team. However, the fruits of their labors showed forth in remarkable style late in the season as Lexington freshman basketball rolled into high gear and scored many victories.

Nottebart, J. Dowd A GOAL IN SIGHT Again this year our hockey team took to the ice with long outdoor practices and exciting evenings in the Boston arena. This year’s team, (under Coach Tom Moon,) was also a new group with only five veterans. Early in the season the talent of Mike Andolina was recognized when he was chosen captain. Later in the season he was also chosen to play for the Eastern Mass. All-Star Team. Due credit must also be given to the fast, hard ice-cutters who com- pleted the team. Dave Bullock, Ronnie Bettencourt, Frank Sands, Dick Carmichael, and Reigh Nottebart made up the senior group. Noteworthy of the newcomers to the team was Bill Connor who proved to be the highest scorer. The buses sponsored by the Dad’s Club which left every Saturday night will be remembered by the group attending these games of action, speed, and tense moments. This year an organized Lexington High School freshman hockey team took to the ice with an active group of players under their coach, Mr. Scotland. Co-captains George Lynah and Dick Lee led the group in scoring throughout its seven game schedule. Other noteworthy players were Carl Norris, Jim Timothy, Grant Cole, and Walter Fardy. Coach Scotland worked his boys into a fast and active group which started off its season by a tremendous 8-0 vic- tory over Dedham. The team retained the same standard of fight throughout the rest of the season although it met more difficult opposition. The spirit of this team and the ability of the members earned it a fine reputation in the eyes of their schoolmates. Second row: Mr. Scotland, C. Skinner, G. Cole, A. Ross First row: J. Timothy, R.

This season will long be remembered by those who participated in the various games, for it brought many new and profiting experiences into the daily lives of those on the squad. The first game was a sweeping victory for Lexington. Reading, the opponents, tried their best to keep the Lexington forwards from scoring; but to no avail; the final score was fifty-two to one. The Lexingtonians lost the next two games but quickly revived and defeated Melrose on their home court by a wide margin of twenty-two points. The following game, when Lex- ington met and defeated Concord, was the most startling of the season. The varsity lagged behind in points al l through the first three quarters of the game, and to the spectators a defeat seemed almost certain. But, during the fourth and final period, the girls with calm- ness and precision, set about to overcome their opponents’ score. They succeeded in accom- plishing this feat, showing one of the greatest comebacks in many seasons. The Lexington girls lost only one other game — that being with Arlington. The last game was with Wellesley. Once again the girls were faced by extremely strong opponents but, during the third quarter, turned the tide and climaxed the season in grand fashion, Third row: S.

Sands TAhE ME OUT TO) THE BALL GAME Five lettermen from the ‘53 squad spearhead the baseball team this year in another tight Middlesex League race. Don Nottebart handled most of the pitching chores, while Ronnie Blume gave Lexington strength at shortstop. Dick Hale returned for some classy work around first base, and Bernie Kinneen was the general handyman serving as catcher, infielder, or outfielder. Streeter Stuart patrolled the fields and helped out on the mound. The success of the season depended largely on the graduates of the 1953 JV squad, which included Billy Connor, a fine pitching prospect; Ronnie Schmid, behind the plate; Gene Moloy and Chet Dymzsa, infielders; Joe O’Brien, Reigh Nottebart, and Bill Cheever, out-fielders, and many others who donated their ability to make the Lex- ington nine a top class team this year.

This team, as in past years, credited Lexington High with another excellent record. The girls emerged as a group which was lacking in expe- rience, but it proved to be no handicap for they soon were capable of taking on their oppo- nents with a certain amount of ease and confidence. Only three veteran members of last year’s team returned, and together with their experience, plus the able assistance of Coach Doris Leavitt, a top team was built. As a result of the constant practices, which the girls attended faithfully, and the continuous display of effort by everyone involved, the team put in a most successful season. Third row: G.

THE INDIVIDUAL ShILL The 1954 Lexington High School golf team, composed of a small group of ardent enthu- siasts, played through the rainy spring season with a large share of success. Four veterans with two years of competitive experience returned from last year’s team, which had placed third in the league standings. They were Herb Evans, Paul Meleedy, John Douglass, and Bill Calahan. Here again good spirit was prevalent as Coach Cooper worked with his boys in an enjoyable season and sportsmanlike competition throughout. Third row: G. Cann, S. The first track team to stand under the ‘’new’’ blue and gold took to the cinders this spring with only a few men left from last year’s undefeated season and important victory over Concord, 42-35. Ronnie Bettencourt, Steve Houser, John Bieren, and Alan Engborg were the returning lettermen. Plans for reorganizing a cross-country team in the fall, which with many veterans from the team of the previous year would have provided a champion- ship group, failed to materialize. Although this was a serious loss to the spring track team, many members shone forth in outstanding advancement. This team with its traditional jovial spirit, combined with the efforts of the new coach Mr. Ero Helin, proved to be a hard-working, fast improving band of runners. Paranya, S. Hall, P. Engborg, B.

GOOD SPORTS ALL When spring finally declared itself and the tennis season opened, a large group of tennis enthusiasts appeared at the courts for the first practice. Only a few of the former team members were in the graduating class of ‘53; but along with the majority of last year’s tennis followers, a large number of new comers were in the group. The com- petition was extremely strong, not only from the girls representing the surrounding schools, but also between the Lexington players for the various team positions. Once the team was chosen, the tennis supervisor worked particularly hard on the individual members, helping to perfect their methods of play. The enthusiastic participants attended practice regularly, and, when confronted by an especially oppressing opponent, rallied to overcome her, the spirit of hope never given up. The season was a successful one with all players profiting by the special instruction and the lessons learned in human conduct. Boys’ intramural basketball reached a new high in interest this year especially for the underclassmen. Those who enjoyed the game for the fun of playing found many pleasant afternoons in the winter season spiced with genial rivalry and fun. Third row: R. Arnold, R. Bartholomew, W. Abbott, J.

On Middlesex League Night they dec- orated the gym with huge banners for each town. For two of their several planned pep rallies they took the time to train substitutes so that they (the cheerleaders) could devote their entire energies to athletic demonstrations (? !). Their many practice sessions have paid off with a second place in the first of the two cheerleading competitions which they attended. L. H. S. won’t soon forget their original Indian Cheer. The freshman cheerleaders have upheld the ninth grade in football and basketball. In addition, they have appeared in three of the school pep rallies. It may be said that all the cheerleaders, both senior and freshman, represent most liter- ally the “spirit of the century”’. Fourth row: M. Glennon. Third row: V. Reed, A. Viano, J. Crowley.

These games were scheduled early in the season previous to the choosing of the Varsity Squad so that every girl could have the opportunity of playing in com- petition with other schools. Only the sophomores were successful in securing victories from both rival teams; however, the fine display of sportsmanship and capability on the part of both seniors and juniors earned for their individual teams one victory and one defeat. Through these class games Coach Leavitt was able to pick a fine squad of enthu- siastic, hardworking ballplayers to carry on their work for the opening of the official season. Third row: M.

FUTURE BASKETEERS Lexington High has arranged a good program of girls’ intramural athletics this year, including tennis, volleyball, and a new addition, softball. These sports are available to any girl who wishes to participate in them and are designed to give those girls who can not contribute a great amount of time to sports the opportunity to compete with their classmates either on teams or individually. In tennis, a tournament was planned for both the spring and the fall by Coach Leavitt, who made up the games from a list of all who signed up. The girls were matched in pairs and the winner went on to meet new opponents, while the loser dropped out. This sport always draws many eager contestants. Volleyball, too, was open to all girls and, from the list, as many teams as possible were organized. Games were scheduled among the classes and furnished much enjoyment for all involved. Every girl tried hard to obtain points for her team, and thus through these games friendly relations were established between the different classes. Softball, the newcomer to girls’ in tramurals, attracted a great number of girls. Enough teams were formed so that each player had a chance to match her abilities with those of her classmates. It was evident that softball would soon become one of the most popular girls’ intramural sports. From the increasing number of athletic contests being added to the intramurals, and the increasing membership to these teams, it is evident that athietic recreation for girls in Lexington High has greatly advanced.

ROOM 17 This year’s Junior Class seems to be representative of the ‘new spirit’ in Lexington High School. As a group they possess the industry and leadership that has placed them in aimost every school activity. During the year the class was well represented on the football field and in the basketball court, having a number of lettermen in each sport. Several Junior girls played on the girls’ basketball team. These giris did a wonderful job and the team had a good season. At the begin- ning of the football season the faculty chose a new group of cheerleaders. Rita Whalen, Ann Donnelly, Judy Lynah, and Peachy McCarren were chosen from the Junior Class and have led cheers with enthusiasm and loyalty. Last spring the class elected Patsy Russell, Judy Lynah, Eleanor Higgins, Ann Donnelly, John Dowd, Alfred Burri, and Streeter Stuart cs members of the Student Council. These stu- dents have given the school and the class a great deal of service by working hard and well on the Council, which is playing an important part in the development of Lexington High School.

Several interested members of the class have joined the staff of the Spotlight and have worked to issue an informative publication. Others have worked to assist the Seniors in producing and selling a successful yearbook. Last spring also the class chose as its officers, Streeter Stuart, president; Gene Moloy, vice-president; Patsy Russell, secretary; and Eleanor Higgins, treasurer. Under these capable leaders the class has been successful in all of its undertak- ings. A food sale was held during the winter term and proved to be very successful. In February eight members of the class were honored by election to the National Honor Society. The class held its traditional Junior Prom in the spring. This event was enjoyed by everyone who attended and was a great success. The Junior Class considers that it had a very enjoyable and rewarding year. Third row: R. Ferreira, F. Corazzini, W.

Happy times were spent in class- rooms, club meetings, student government groups, and athletic participation. Knowledge was not restricted to the three R’s. Learning to associate with others was taught painlessly as we took part in Dramatic Club, Sophomore French Club, and Discophiles Club. We learned the values of good sportsman- ship when we were active on the sports teams. Musical experience we gained in the glee clubs to which we belonged. Since some of us were elected club officers, we learned the art of good leadership and practiced it throughout the year. Third row: D. Berttinen, T. Bentley, J. Berry, R. Byrne, S. Bullock, W.

Patricia Nordling, Nancy Carey, Peter Boyer, and Robert McNamara were our Student Council members; while Ed Martin, Mary-Ann De Lugio, Jo-Ann Smith, and Bud Merkon were elected class officers. Joan Kelley did an excellent job on the field hockey team, as did Bob McNamara in football and Bob Bresslin in ice hockey. Class musicians took active parts in the orchestra, the band, and the operetta. Yes, as we recall our sophomore year, we feel that it has really helped us. By participating in school activities, we have learned rules of sportsmanship and group work. In the classrooms we have developed intellectually and have found new fields to conquer. Also, by working together as a group we have helped to make our school the fine one that it is today. Second row: 8B. Boleyn, S. Hall, S. Dunlap. First row: J. Sweeney, P. Nordling, D. Crumb, J.

Being new to high school surroundings and the hustle and bustle, we had to learn our way around. Gradually we began joining clubs, formed our teams, elected class officers and Student Council mem- bers, and grew to know our teachers and the upperclassmen. David Coomber was elected freshman class president, Ann Hayden as vice-president; Ruth Butler as secretary, and Janet Crowley as treasurer. The three Student Council members were Ruth Butler, George Lynah, and Patricia Bradford. A freshman cheering squad was made with Joan Amaral and Vickery Reed as co-captains and Patsy Crosby, Andrea Viano, Janet Crowley, Virginia Lambert, and Peggy Glennon as members. Many freshman became outstanding school members. Pat Bradford was a majorette for the band. Homerooms 114 and 128 had window decorating committees who brightened up the school according to the season. Dick Lee and Ken Fletcher were outstanding in athletics. in a composite made of our class, it was discovered that the average weight was 125 pounds and the average height five foot three and one-half inches. The average birth date was July 6, 1939. Our favorite subjects were history and art. As we are the first class to go completely through the new high school we are very proud of our position. Now, in looking back over the schocl year of 1953-54, we see the new friendships we have made, fun we have enjoyed, and knowledge we have gained. Looking ahead, we see the promise of more fun, studies, and friends as the class of 1957 marches on through high school to a future life enriched by education and strengthened by a good high school life.
