Field Hockey The first field hockey practice certainly was a noisy one. Chatter, laughter, and squeals filled the Pembroke Bowl. The forty girls vying for first and second team positions must have seemed like a tribe of wild Indians doing a war dance to the then-new coach, Miss Helen Conant. It was Miss Conant's task to find four replacements for the positions vacated by last year's seniors. On the succeeding days, during which the number of girls dwindled into the twenties, Miss Conant paced up and down the sidelines carefully scrutinizing each girl. When the teams were finally announced it was found that both were comparatively young. The second team consisted of seventh and eighth-graders, the first team was comprised of only three seniors, five sophomores, one freshman, and two eighth-graders. The jobs of carrying equipment, setting up chairs, lining the field, and keeping score, were capably carried out by Beverly Keene and Cynthia Pierce, who deserve much credit. The teams of the future will be for- tunate to have their help. The girls worked well as an harmonious team in an eiort to make Miss Conant's first year a successful one. Joan, Barb, and I wish her and the members of next year's team, all the success in the world.

Bo s' Basketball Early in the month of December a large squad of candidates gathered in the auditorium for the first basketball workout. Missing were tall boys , none were available. Under the direction of our coach, Mr. Adelino Bernardo, the players developed a fine spirit and wonderful sportsmanship. Although our wins were few, this determined attitude contributed much to wins later in the season. After staging a losing streak of ten in a row, Coach Bernardo's boys met Cohasset High on a Tuesday afternoon. What happened that day will be remembered for some time to come! With all gears rolling the Pembroke boys tossed in 82 points for the first win in two seasons! Came the next Friday night! Still steaming from the previous Tuesday, the game against Kingston, ended with us on top, thanks to Co-Captain Howie Mathews' last-second foul shot. Thus ended our wins in the league, but the team did upset the Alumni. In the Iirst round of the South Shore basketball conference Pembroke lost a heart-breaker, 60-61, to West Bridgewater. With the same boys making up next year's team we are hoping for a pennant at Pembroke High! C0-CAPTAIN MIKE ZACCHILLI, '54
