Baslzetball The 1957 basketball team, led by Captain Jeff Pea- cock, provided the fans With many seat-squirming thrills. Plagued by inexperience, the Whiz Kids lost their early games but improved quickly as the season advanced. Ray- mond Gadaire returned as coach after a two-year ab- sence to find only three re- turning lettermen. Although the team had a rather unim- pressive record, it was an excellent representative of Milton High School and its fighting spirit. Hoclzey Milton High's hockey team finished their schedule with an excellent record. Only one loss enabled the pucksters to make the play-offs with ease. Their impressive season was due partly to the coaching of Mr. Pedersen and constant drills at the Milton Academy rink. Much credit, however, should go to the team. The experienced goal-tending and skillful scoring gave the Mil- ton club the aggressive, fight- ing spirit necessary to any good team. S peed Front Row: A. ClasbY. J. Coughlin. R. Caddoo.

Nelson, Faster The men Football The football team, although winless, exhibited a fighting, never-say-die spirit. There were several excitingly close games, including a high- scoring loss to Needham and a last-minute defeat at the hands of Norwood. A lop- sided defeat to Natick, Class B Title contenders, shook the team's confidence, constant injuries kept the team below peak eHiciency, Despite the had breaks, the team entered each game with a determi- nation to do its best. Winter Traclz In spite of a disappointing winter season, the trackmen can be proud of such senior runners as Tom Hagan, Bill Nelson, Tom Heffernan, and such Held rnen as Charlie White and Emanuel Hamel- burg. All the meets were held at the East Newton Street Armory with the ex- ceptions of the B.A.A. and the State Meet, both of which were held at the Bos- ton Garden. The outlook for future teams is good with several prospects rapidly im- proving. Why wait? 24
