Field Hockey ... Field Hockey began a few days after school started. Nearly 50 girls signed up for parctice and very few dropped out. Practice was held almost ever} ' after- noon for six weeks and the girls untiringly worked until our teams were as good as we could possibly make them. The A. A. voted to buy new sticks and uniforms and we certainly looked trim. We had our choice of color for the uniforms and the girls voted for Maroon. I don’t know if it was the sticks and the uniforms that spurred us on to victory or not, but something did, for we had a very successful season. Both of our teams were undefeated and the second team was also unscored upon. This is the first time this has happened in many years and we are justly proud of ourselves. On behalf of the field hockey players, I thank Mi is Collins for all she has done for us. She certainly deserves a lot of credit and praise. This year ' s schedule was as follows: Sudbury at Maynard October 17 Maynard 2 — Sudbury 0 Maynard 1 — Sudbury 0 The first field hockey game of the season was played on Tuesday, October 17, between Maynard and Sud- bury. Sudbury had a four game advantage over us but nevertheless we were confident of victory. Our first team showed great teamwork, sportsmanship, and speed and won by a 2-0 score. Center Angie Greeno and Joanna Kangas were the scorers of the goals. The second team was also victorious and they won 1-0. Janice Morgan scored the lone tally against Sudbury’s previously undefeated team. Both May- nard teams played excellent games and certainly de- served to win. Sudbury at Maynard October 19 Maynard 2 — Sudbury 0 Maynard 4 — Sudbury 0 Sudbury played a return game with Maynard on Thursday, October 19. Our girls again triumphed over Sudbury and continued their winning streak. The first team’s score was again 2-0 with goals made by Captain Pat O’Clair and Angie Greeno. Our second team game ended in a smashing victory. All 1 1 members of the team played an outstanding game, and we won by a 4-0 score. Three of the four goals were made by Janice Morgan and the remaining one by June O’Toole. Maynard at Ashland October 24 Maynard 4 — Ashland 1 Maynard 3 — Ashland 0 On Tuesday, October 24, we played at Ashland. We were handicapped by playing on a strange field, by a damp, raw day, and the fact that Ashland had been undefeated. But nevertheless we were enthusi- astic and confident of a victory. At the end of the half the first team score was 1-0 in favor of Ashland. But did this dampen the spirit of our girls? No- siree! They buckled down with grimness and won by the astonishing score of 4-1. Angie Greeno scored 3 points, and Joanne Kangas 1. The un- scored upon second team kept the banners flying for dear old M. H. S. continuing their excellent work. They played a good, all-around game. Lois Bain scored two goals and Janice Morgan one. A return game with Ashland was scheduled for Tuesday, October 31, but the Ashland coach cancelled the game. This game was automatically accredited to us by default. Maynard at Acton Thursday, October 26 Maynard 4 — Acton 0 Maynard 3 — Acton 0 On Thursday, October 26, a confident busload ol M. H. S. girls journeyed to Acton to play their fourth game of the season. The first team played a sensa- tional game and the final outcome was 4-0. Both Angie Greeno and Captain Pat O’Clair played a good game and scored two goals each. Good work ! The second team also came out on top and defeated the Acton seconds, 3-0, Lois Bain scoring the three goals. Acton at Maynard Thursday, November 2 Maynard 1 — Acton 1 Maynard 1 — Acton 0 A return game was played with Acton on Thurs- day, November 2. The first team game was a see- saw contest until the very end. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, Joanna Kangas scoring for Maynard. Our second team was again victorious in a bitterly fought game, but we edged out the Acton girls 1-0 as Lois Bain scored for M. H. S.

Concord at Maynard Monday, November 6 Maynard 0 — Concord 0 Maynard 0 — Concord 0 On Monday, November 6, we played Concord, our annual rivals. The Concord girls came to Maynard expecting a victory, but had to be content with a tie. The highlight of the first team game occurred when the Concord forward and our goalie, Pat Wehkoja, had a five yard bully. The crowd was breathless, but due to the expertness of Pat and our team, Con- cord was unable to make a goal and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Our second team was also unable to score and the game ended 0-0. This year’s teams were as follows: First Team Alda Tower L.W. Joanna Kangas L I. Angie Greeno C.F. Dorothy Statkus R.W.
