However, it has been here for a long time. It was played in 1939 when Richard Bransfield, now a Malden police officer, was on the team. In those days, people did not give the team much encouragement. Soccer was just something that boys played to take up spare time. The team used old football equipment when playing. It took a long time to finally get new soccer equipment. It was hard to practice because at the time there was only the small gym at the school. Their games were played at Roosevelt park against Quincy, Lynn, Medford, and the freshmen from Harvard and Tufts. Today Officer Bransfield believes that there is still not much encouragement for soccer. Players and coaches are attracted to football, which is more glamorous. Malden must organize a youth soccer program if the High School is to remain competitive. soccer 29

’ll I LOOKING BACK Professor Kenneth Crannell is the head of the Department of Oral Interpretation at Emerson College. He graduated from Malden High in 1951 and remembers Greenroom when, under the advisorship of Dr. Otto Ashermann, it was the largest club in the school. Crannell calls Ashermann “the finest director I ever had. His own people loved him but he was feared by other advisors who traditionally lost out to him in the Mass. Drama Festival.” In 1954 Greenroom received national recognition in the August issue of Life magazine which featured photos of Greenroom members in the cast of the musical, “Conversation Piece”, by Noel Coward. The successful play was booked in a small summer theater in Augusta, Maine, and played there several weeks. The production was staged as a benefit performance to raise money for the Greenroom Scholarship Award. DECA, Front Row: Scott Leaver, Lydia Repucci, Advisor Alfred Flynn, Kellie Finn, Jeanine DuLong.
