Our Faculty Ties The AMVETS 22-22 The sixth annual March of Dimes Benefit Basketball Game was held in the Marshall Gym on January 27, 1960 at 8:00 P.M. This year our faculty took to the court, chal¬ lenging the Wakefield AMVETS, a team of young men who play local paraplegic teams. Both teams played in wheel chairs, observing many unique basketball rules. Our faculty varsity team consisted of Smartie Artie Boyle, Fuzzy Hussey, Stinky Finn, Chewy Louie Ciarfella, Foxie Oxie Oxman, Joe Sacco, Dick Kelliher, Chickie McGeoch, Chuck Wettergreen, John O ' Brien, Les Regan, Bob Driscoll, and John Di Jam DiGiammar- ino. With several ' misplaced ' points, the final score of this unusual match was 22-22. At halftime the annual boys-girls cheering contest took place. Under captains Barry Malitsky and Brian Winmill, the boys were pro¬ claimed champions by Applause-Judge Arthur Boyle. Our regular girl cheerleaders wore rather large AMVETS ' parade shirts and hats, black shorts, and black tights. This successful game was sponsored by the USONA So¬ ciety under co-chairmen Elaine Renzullo and Louise Proto for the benefit of the March of Dimes. THE CHAMPS! Repeating their Swish cheer at the January 28 assembly are John Montecalvo, George Hood, and Sam Badaloto. Others were Bri Winmill, Barry Malitsky, Paul Graham, Dave Newman, James McDonald, Ed DiPietro, Larry Bendell, Dick Batricelli, Ken Puleo, Skip Kruger, and Vic Lemmo. FUZZY HUSSEY tries a hook shot in the early part of the game. The faculty team was a little ' rusty ' at first, but improved enough in the second half to tie the final score 22 to 22! Looking on in the background is Headmaster John Matthews. 15

Weekend With Cheers, Speeches, And Music As we file into the Jenkins Auditorium for our an¬ nual Thanksgiving football rally, there is something present which we all feel very deeply, a sense of pride, a sense of exhiliration. As seniors we feel a lump in our throats, for we know that this will be our last rally as M.H.S. students; as juniors we are somewhat care¬ free, for we ' ve done this once before and shall do it once again; as still-confused sophomores we stare in awe and bewilderment at our first real taste of M.H.S. spirit. We all feel marvelously alive, brimming with energy for the approaching game. At the rally we cheer and yell; we are young and happy, for Malden is going to win tomorrow and Mom has a twenty-five pound turkey and we have our dates for the Victory Dance. BEAT MEDFORD! And when we hear the speak¬ ers, we feel a sense of tradition, a sense of heritage, as we look forward to an old New England Thanks¬ giving with the yearly football game and turkey and cranberry sauce and apple cider. Old grads come back each year to try to recapture their high school days and the fun of the M.H.S. Thanksgiving weekend. BEAT MEDFORD! We go home and then to the square for our evening rally. We scream, we flirt, we forget our worries and lose our inhibitions. This is a time for fun and laughter. COME ON FELLAS, LET ' S REALLY HEAR IT! screams Peggy Hughson, trying to pep up the team. The boys, although silent here, were surely saving their energy for the big game. HOLDING ON TO THEIR FEATHERS, our smiling cheerleaders, fol¬ lowed by the excited Pep Club of over one hundred members, proudly began their march to Pearl Street Stadium and Victory in the cold November wind, outside of the high school at nine o ' clock.
