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.

l.S. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Twelve Seventh Grade girls and eight Eighth Graders began basket- ball practice in the latter part of November, under the leadership of Miss Lillian Szocik, their new coach. Miss Szocik divided the girls into three teams as follows: Moose: Ann Harley, Peggy Deming, Eileen Remal, Janice Hartney, and Molly Hidden. Eagles: Joan Kenney, Lorraine Moran, Eunice Remal, Nancy Whit- comb, and Mary Berube. Indians: Claire Therrien, Emma Harvey, Ann Jandron, Ruth Simon, Rita Legros, Esther Aho, and Jean Burnap. Appropriate jerseys were provided by the Athletic Association for each team. The teams competed against each other and against the Freshmen. Su mary of the games is as follows: Moose, won 1, lost 2: Eagles, won 2, lost lg Indians, won l, lost 5: Freshmen,won 5, lost l. Two games were played also with Ayer: the Lunenburg first team winning both games, and the second team winning one and losing one, Training in the fundamentals of the game was strongly stressed by the coach and prospects for future High School teams certainly look promising. H-LS. PBQYS' BASKETBALL The Junior High as a team only played 2 games this year. Both of these were against Ayer. The second team played one game against the Ayer seconds. Mr. Matheson had an intramural league this year and four teams participated. These teams were coached by boys on the high school squad. The teams usually played at night before the high school games. In the Intramural League the Bull dogs were first, Pirates and Wildcats were tied for second and the Eagles were last. The Bulldogs were captained by Robert Fallon, the Pirates by John Arnold, the Wildcats by Frank Leblanc and the Eagles by Kenneth Goodcll. With this material the High School should have Championship teams for years to come. 8 3
