Coach Howard Smith's team had victories over Quincy, Weymouth, Rockland, defending State champs, and suffered a defeat to Brockton by the slim margin of one point. The highlight of the sea- was the ouststanding running of Neil Wallace, cap- tain of the team. Neil won not only all the dual meets, as well as state championship in Class D, but also the New England championship. Hockey Competing in the fast-moving South Shore League, the Milton High squad once again proved to be a formidable foe. Coach Carnieis team ended the season with a 3-2 record. Led by the high scorers of the season, Captain jerry Dacey and Billy Mahoney, the team handed North Quincy its first defeat in three seasons. Lack of ice hampered the team from completing its schedule and moving higher in the league standings. Hockey Team Halliday, W. Pursell. Front Row: R. Scales, W Mahoney, C. Brooks, I Dacey, H.

Track The indoor and outdoor track teams enjoyed one of their better seasons. Performing in the Metro- politan Interscholastic League and the Bay State League, Coach Adams, teams displayed some fine running. The main factors behind the victories wcre the veteran runners and the balance of good distance and dash men. Another asset to the teams this year was the fine relay team, which always made an excellent showing. Kantaros, R. Duncan, W. Keough, H. Weeks. Baseball Once again the Milton nine showed the ag- gressive spirit which makes them such a tough op- ponent. Operating in the Bay State League, the team played very impressive ball throughout the season. A nucleus of seniors, led by Bob Lake and Iohn McDermott, provided much of the punch in the lineup, but the team suffered slightly from the lack of pitching depth. The combined team play helped bring a good season. Baseball Front Row: A. Ahearn, I. McDermott, R. Lake, R. Connelly, W. Mahoney, B. Restuccia. Second Row: D. Teevens, W. Flannery, J. Mitiguy, W.
