BQYS' BASKETBALL The Lunenburg Boys had a very successful season, winning 17 and losing 7. The boys played good ball in the first half of the season. but had a let down in the middle. This cost them the Wachusett League title. To make up for this let down, the boys went to the Clark Uni- versity tournament to win 3 straight games and capture the crown for the first time in four tries. The team will lose only 5 starters and the substitutes, who gave these starters a battle for their position, should be able to fill in capably. The most important member of the team will also be lost, and that is Coach Leslie O. Griffiths. Coach Griffiths led the boys to the Wachusett League Championship in his first year and his second year he led the boys in capturing the Clark Tournament trophy. Members of the squad for the past year were: Seniors: Howard Powell, Leo Padula, Stanley Page, and Donald Stoney Juniors: Parker Rice and Erick Ahokasg Sophomores: Jackson Noakes, Orrin Foss, William Waye, Earle Brown, Howard Cadwell, Fred Hobbs, Vic Szocik, and Robert Porter, Freshmen: Charles Sundquist and Robert Foster. Paul E. Wickham, Jr. was manager. He was assisted by Edward Riley from the class of 1944.Richard Porter as a Post Graduate student was trainer. Howard Powell and Leo Padula were elected Co-captains for the season.
