First Row: Cherington, Norris, Howland, C., Pappas, fCapt.J, Cheever, Faulkner, Lyman Second Row: Meigs, Forbes, Hayward, Francis, Hatcher, Smith, Mr. Andrews. This year's wrestling team compiled a record of five wins and four losses. It proved to be a spirited team, but lacked the depth and experience needed to produce a well-rounded squad. In the lighter-weight classes most boys were wrestling opponents who were heavier. Joel Chering- ton fought many low-scoring matches in which a point or two decided the winner. His best match occurred against St. George's in which he pinned his opponent early in the first period. Fourth- classman Peter Forbes was in one of the tougher weight classes, and despite his great handicap, inex- perience, he showed a great deal of drive. Captain-elect Charlie Howland managed to pull out many decisions over heavier opponents with his steady and aggressive wrestling. Charlie lost only 6-4 to the boy seeded number one at the Interscholastics. Harry Smith was a consistent wrestler, win- ning several very hard matches. Unquestionably his finest match was against the Tabor captain, whom he held to a draw. Bob Norris was partially handicapped by a knee operation which hindered him from performing up to his potential. He also would have had a more successful season wrestling in a lower weight class. While Fred Faulkner was out with a football injury, Brower Hatcher, despite his inexperience, pinned one out of the two men he wrestled. Fred's most successful meet was against Governor Dummer in which he showed his true ability. Dan Cheever proved to be one of the fastest wrestlers on the team. Dan lost a very close 4-2 decision in the Interscholastics to the same man who had beaten him 8-1 in the regular season. This demonstrates how much progress he had made during the season. Tim Hayward showed much spirit and effort. His finest match occurred against Needham, when he pinned his opponent in the first period. Chas Lyman consistently fought hard against more experienced opponents, his successful match against Andover made this evident. Charlie Francis, filling in, showed his determined spirit against the St. George's captain. Wrestling heavy- weight, Captain jack Pappas compiled the best record on the team, but lost a hard-fought contest in the finals of the Interscholastics against Kakas of Tabor. We wish the best of luck to Coach An- drews and Captain-elect Howland for another successful season next year.
