MRS ELIZABETH M MCGRATH I I f I K XJ' yfi.Q'gf I is K ' Q 2 ,. . . The Class of 1956 appreciates the proud privilege of being permitted to dedicate its Yearbook to Mrs. Elizabeth M. McGrath. That there never could be a teacher better versed in her subject, more adapt in im- parting her knowledge to her students is a truism. This, however, is only one phase, and by no means the most valuable, of her talents. What has even more endeared her to a generation of students is her un- failing patience, her warm sympathy, her indefatigable energy. No one has ever seen her impatient. In a word she was, like Chaucer's Gentil La- die , the epitome of all that is good, and noble, and womanly. Young men who came to her a hopeless Stutterer, under her patient teaching, have since become highly successful salesmen. Cther students with most annoying speech defects have become actors. The Class Day and Graduation programs which she directed, guided, all but created, were glorious and famous. We shall miss Mrs. McGrath. She cannot be replaced. Still, we have been fortunate. We have been blessed by her presence. It is the generations still to come to Mem- orial who will miss her most. ff .l DR. PAUL B. CRUDDEN A MESSAGE FROM Om Qfecwl 77144502 To the Class of 1956 Your departure from Memorial High School will leave a vold that future classes will find it difficult to fill Your school spirit was of the highest Your accomplishments were many and substantial You have achieved to a high degree all the ideals and spirit that is expected of intelligent and vigorous young Americans My congratulations to each and every one of you Some lessons that we have to learn in life cannot be taught in school Youth has not the maturity and experience to comprehend These lessons must be learned in large part by trial and error If the elements of thlese lessons are never comprehended if one is unable to analyze lifes experiences then these lessons go unheeded and our l1fe will be less successful because of our unawareness of certain basic fundamentals of life One of the lessons to be learned IS balance The balance to which I refer 15 the balancing of life s activities to the end that the human personality may be developed harmoniously All facets of life should be experienced The dxf ficulty is one of emphasis Most of us tend to devote too much attention to those activities of immediate interest and to neglect or ignore those which we consider of lesser lmportance If a man devotes an inordinate amount of time to business affairs he runs the danger of neglecting his social family and spirit ten deprives himself of the values to be obtained and experienced bv accom plishment Concentration on the practical aspects of life will blunt the ideals and esthetic spirit of man lf me become too interested in self our sympathy for and understanding of others problems rarely enter our consciousness If we become too objective eternal truths often escape us If We become too subjective much of reality for us does not exist The few examples of lack of balance will illustrate the dangers to mdivid ual development Man must be ever on guard to prevent over emphasis of certain aspects of life to the detriment of others Unbalance starts as a habit It may be a hab1t of doing or thmklng or both Each one of us makes his hab its and when firmly established habits then make us what we are Balance can only be achieved by watchmg the formation of our habits keeping our habits under control and examining ourselves from time to determme whether or not we are becoming too one sided in our development The key seems to be moderation in everything May your future development be balanced . .

It was the home of everybody. Robert Tayne was zoom 240 the Home Room Treasurer, Bill Lew ran for ofhce, and Bob Thompson was on the Prom Committee. Bob Rogers and Chuck Winston starred in football. Dick Morello gave an inspiring speech at the Parker House on Ben Franklin's Birthday. This year 2-40 also gave Mr. Chiarini four hockey players: Martin Murray, Russo and Scannell, who introduced a new style of play in the league. These names are all of political, athletic and oratorical fame which help compose our great senior class. Paul Scannell, Paul Martin, John Rohanna, Jim Murray, David Moore and Richard Mor- ello are on the Bostonian-Yearbook printing and literary staff. We leave to the juniors, the best home room teacher at Memorial. He ranks among the best senior class teachers in any school in the city of Boston. This teacher is none other than Mr. Richard P. Brown. Master of room 240.

A few of the out- standing ones were: A. Aronson, home-room treasurer, and member of the Art Staff and several committees and clubs: Sam Childs, Junior-Class president, Bostonian Literary and Art Staff and Yearbook Literary and Art Staffg and George Berlin, Honor Roll student and Office Staff member. Room 322 had a large group of boys who had been members of one or more of the athletic teams, l'hese were: Carl Adams, Richard Arisian, Billy Bamel, Fred Berman, Stan Brown, Sam Childs, Ray Craddock, and Lenny Davidson. Along with 322 all of Memorial were proud of this group of athletes. Myron Baker and Paul Bonetzky represented Room 322 and Roxbury Memorial in Junior Achievement. 244:44 522 What would 322 have been like without a couple of characters like Herb Altsher and Stan Brown, we will never know, but we are all glad that they were assigned to our home room to liven it up a little. Slfimmv' L Q! Room 330 was indubitably the best senior ltome room tltis year. Seliolastieally speaking Harris Herman and Stanley Iflfbaum rep- rcsent Memorial's two top lionor students.

Keeping that idea always in mind, the hard'- working yearbook literary staff, under the direction of Editor-in-chief Samuel Childs, and Assistant Editor Gerald' Guttell labored although hampered by many difficulties, to publish this Year Book. A hearty vote of thanks is extended to the entire literary staff, with special thanks to Harris Herman and Leonard Davidson, co-writers of the class Will, and David' Cheren and Larry Goldfarb, co-writers of the Class Prophecy. A vote of thanks is also extended to the entire Printing Department without whose help this Year Book might never have been printed. To our able and hard working adviser, Mr. Conway, the literary staff presents its deep- felt gratitude for the patience and careful scrutiny he gave to the mountains of copy that frequently had to corrected. be recast and The Business Staff of the Yearbook is to be congratulated for the fine job that they have done this year. The Staff, under the tireless direction of manager Steve Salrz, assistant manager Jay me Zaoig Gilman, and Mr. Landrigan have spearheaded the boys at R. M. H. S. in their daily struggle to obtain ads: and, for the successful auditing of financial requirements of our '56 Year- book. ' The substance and quality of our Yearbook depends upon the financial return yielded by the selling of these ads which means that every staff member has to become an amateur expert in the fascinating and challenging art and science of sales approach. Thanks are also due to those boys who did so fine a job in typing the material and to Mr. Butters for his cooperation. Their job was to sell ads and jewels, prepare group and candid schedules, prepare Year- book lay out of photos and advertise, prepare cover design cartoons, arrange for building and distribution of the Yearbook. 51464 Fur. 1 Alum Silvmnmn, J,:,' fmvv' lfitobs, Edward Silvf-rvvnu Svtmlvten Katz, Rueben Marqeli P' r.

Unfortunately we were unable to secure pictures, but the articles were con- structive enough to outweigh the setback. Increased interest was noted after the first release, considered to be the warm-up issue. The Senior Class responded immediately to the call for articles, and we were able to put out a more appealing Christmas edition. Mr. Conway, Mr. Pearl, and Mr. Smith all deserve great credit for their fine suggestions and improvements. The staff, and Editor-in chief Art Singer, saw to it that there was always something for everyone in the bi- monthly publication. Besides the essays and editorials, a commendable job was done on sport, election, and forum coverage. This year, it was felt that up-to-date stories . . and headlines would give the reader greater benefits, and increase the interest in writing. For example, the Christmas issue had as its main article, the elections, which had taken place just two days before. We would like to add a few phrases to clarify our part in the publishing of our school's fine newspaper. We don't intend to boast, of course, but it is only truthful to say that without the Business Staff the entire attempt Row 2 Sam Jacobs Row I would have been impossible. For we were the sturdy individuals, who, under the outstandf ing leadership of Business Manager, Frank Rosenfield, and Asst. Business Manager Stephen Saltz, went forth to sell the adverf tisements needed to finance this literary pro! ject. However, each and every one of us fully realizes that all we did accomplish was due to faculty adviser, Nlr. Landrigan, whose sage advice and understanding helped us greatly. Aside from the tireless efforts of Frank Rosenfield the ten or more staff members have proved to themselves and to the school that they are capable of financing a school paper. In closing we would like to thank the Bostonf ian Business Staff for securing ads needed to finance the Bostonian , R.M.H.S. school 5124! paper.

P . This year the Prom Committee organized in early October to help. give Memorial the best Senior Prom possible. They succeeded to the fullest. The Prom Committee, under Mike Spitz, our able chairman, organized one of the finest proms ever seen at our school. The Dorothy Quincy Suite was the site, and the music was supplied by Freddie Guerra and his band, who were accompanied by a girl vocalist. Earlier, before the Prom, the true spirit of the Senior Class was shown by the co-opera- tion they gave the committee. The quota of tickets was reached and surpassed in .1 short time, and the committee set to work to hnd the right band, hall, and date, which we did just about in the space of one meeting. Most of the work involved was in decorating and preparing refreshments. May we, the members of the committee. take this opportunity to thank Mr. Bothelo. our adviser for the help he gave to us, and for the troubles he led us through. W'ithout his complete co-operation this lane affair could not have been possible. The Assembly Committee under the able dir- eetion of Mr. Philip A. Bortniclx is probably one of the most envied groups of the entire school, for they were present at every assem- bly. They have given our Assemblies, and other activities such as the Talent Show, lflag Dedication Ceremony, Class Day, Iforums, etc. a professional touch by their fine work- manship. The following members were the most .letive perticipants this season: Chairman,Theodore Snyderg Vice Chairman, Jerrold Pessin: Au- dioman, George Rhotstein: and Stanley Co- hen, projectionist. Other members who helped make the Assem- bly Committee's work easier were: joel Slarve, Sumner Rodney, Dan Orfant, Robert Grunin and Louis Delaflor. The squealing sounds eminating from the amplifiers and the sound of that well worn record being tested for more scratches during and after school was an indication that anoth- er assembly was to be held. May the unblcmishcd record of our Assemblw Committee follow with more outstanding members.

But above all, this com- mittee showed hne teamwork. cooperation and spirt. XY'ithout their help the Year Book Photography Committee could not finally have achieved the honors which are now being reaped upon them. This committee must prepare schedules several times a year for group photos and candid photos of all extra-curricular student activities, including athletic events, club activities, etc. These photos must then be prepared for publication in the Year Book. All and all, these duties require the careful attention of the staff throughout the year. 642 Zami plafdgzd ' Row 2 Robert Schulze, Allan Silverman, Reuoen Margolis, Arthur Singer, Robert Myers, Harold Freeman, Mr. Landrigan Row l Sam Jacobs, Stephen Katz, Frank Rosenheld, Stephen Saltz, Jason Gilman, Edward Silverman, Stanley Cohen 4 Q ,.

The laboratory in our opinion is one of the public school systemls best equipped. We have held a contest to determine who has captured themost interesting picture ol this, our last year at Memorial. The person who is chosen for having shot the best pic- ture will receive a prize consisting of some photography equipment that he needs. For this affair, we hope Doctor Crudden and some of the instructors from the Art De- partment will be available as judges. Melvin Chessler is president: Theron Van Brackle, vice president: Irwin S.

Under the able guidance of Mr. Walsh the Chemistry club's purpose of fostering scien- tiie interest among the members has been realized to the fullest. During the year a number of interesting experiments have been run by individuals members of the club, which ordinarily could not have been shown because of the lack of equipment. Another popular activity of this club has been the regular showing of Elms on chem- ical subjects, which have been received with much interest by the members. One of the big things proposed for the club was the visiting of scientific and chem- ical establishments. Although this visiting hasn't been realized to its fullest extent, we are positive that this has been most interest- ing and informative to the great majority. We are sorry that the year isn't longer and that this program must end. However, we know that the Chemistry Club doesn't take a back seat to any club that was or ever will be in Roxbury Memorial.

Roxbury Memorial is a member of the Greater Boston Interscholastic Chess League. In the league this year there are be- sides Memorial, the defending champion Arlington Brookline High, Boston Latin, High, Newton High, and Boston Technical. The officers of the Chess Club are Martin Feldman, president, Jason Maltz, vice-president, Frank Richmond, treasurerg Bernard Ornstein, secretary. Other seniors on the team are Theodore Levine, who is the 2nd ranking player in the league, Richard Goldstein, Martin Bluestein, and Stanly Chudnofsky. Next year there should be some pretty stiff competition be- tween Malcolm Goldstein, Harold Sadof, Robert Edesess, and Jerome Kravitz for the presidency. Every Friday after school there is a match. There are ten men on each team. We play a home and home series with each school. Last year we came in third in the league, and this year we are hoping for first. ll The Christmas Card Committee, which has done an outstanding job in selling Christmas Cards for the R.M.H.S SCHOLARSHIP FUND, is the most underrated committee in the school. Under the able leadership of 416 Mr. Leach, the committee proved its worth in securing funds for scholarships. The Com- mittee's president, Morris Rodney, and his en- ergetic staff worked diligently for weeks sell- ing Christmas Cards. The pupils of R.Nl.H.S. followed Rodney's example and really proved themselves that they were salesmen, capable of helping financial matters of their school. An added attraction this vear was the fact there were two kinds of Christmas Cards. There were of course the usual cards featuring the beautiful snowscenes, but the new feat- ure was the addition of the deeply religious cards. We hope this little tribute will repay the Committee for a well done job. The thanks that they never received might be awarded them now, and they can be a proud group, when they realize what an important job they have achieved. Row 2 Eimer Philips, Frank Richmnncl, Richer!

This in our opinion accounts partly for out new-found proficiency in drill. 1666 Under the leadership of Nlr. Moran and his corps of cadet-captains Memorial's marching prowess has reached the peak of recent years. This continual striving we feel is the main reason for our recently acquired marching skill. This is exemplified by the fine exhibition of marching put on by the boys for prize drill, which highly impressed many of the visiting spectators and judges. The cadet officers under Nlr. Nlorans tutel- age have advanced to the point where they need take no back seat to any officers in any school in this city. XY'e hope that under Mr. Moran. Memorials marching ability will continue to improve and we sincerely wish him the best of luck. YN i A f V- A 1 K. . Y J A-Av L J f A 41' , V I N -x , , I 1 v ll I ? L v-Q 41 Y? f, V.

A In addition to this, it gave the participants of the Forum a real chance to show their abili- ties in not only the delivery of a speech but also in the actual composition of the material. The success of the Forum is due to the fine training of Mrs. McGrath not only in speech and diction, but also in the methods of de- livery and presentation, The boys are ad- vised what type of topic would be appropri- ate and told how to organize data. Current events are among thetopics most discussed, but this, however, does not ruin the speakers' chances of originality, for he still has to do a great deal of research on his own. Examples of excellent forum topics are: The Voting Age Should be Lowered to Eighteenn. These are subjects which allow for good pro and con discussion in the present day conditions. L , 3, .-4 ': I-,L La Cercle Francais of 1955 - 1956 has very definitely maintained the long tradition of instructive and entertaining meetings. Through the constant efforts of Mr. Cameron, the club members heard many talks on the various aspects of French culture and civiliza- tion. Great French writes such as Voltaire, Maupassant, Moliere, Beaumarchais, Maurois were discussed. Great French musicians, such as Debussy, and Casedesus were presented. French scientists played a major role in the development of this very valuable subject. Bernard, Branly, Lavoisier, and the Curies are a few of these distinguished Frenchmen, which were added to the list. The French Club took several trips, via books and maps to all the desirable locations of that great nation.

Under the experienced leadership of Mr. Burke the club learned and mastered many popular and classical songs. Considering the fact that they met only once .1 week they have performed very well. During that time there were some members whose voices were being helped along to a more perfect timbre. These members were Paul Kennedy, Kenneth Scott. and Charles Asche. Much credit must be given to Joseph Salvin, the manager, who planned these informal meet- ings. ln addition to its regular functions, the Glee Club prepared some of its members to walk about the school singing Christmas Carols the day before the December vaca- tion commenced. Many members are seniors who will not be with the Club next year, but en- thusiam of lower class members assures the school of an excellent Glee Club during the next few years.

The very capable and persistent home room treasurers collected voluntary contributions for class dues, activities fees, Year Book and charitable organizations. As all of the treasurers know., collecting money for almost anything on any given day was a very exasperating task. Some of the replies that they got were, All I have is carfaref' or Do you have chinge of a ten? After a lot of begging .md pleading they finally got their contribution. XVhen it was time to collect for the Year Book the trensurers were going .iround to each senior with .1 notebook .md pencil expecting to see the flash of money in their faces. However, all they received was an occasional dollar. Things changed soon, however, when Nlr. l..'lI1Lll'lg.l!1 stimulated the seniors of the class of 1956 into paying for their yearbooks.

During our Christmas vacation many needy families and orphaned children were helped through our efliorts. All of this was done in cooperation with the Senior Red Cross, of which we are a part. Again this year we held our annual member- ship drive, which was very successful. The purpose of the drive was not only to gather members but also to collect money to aid in the activities of the Senior Red Cross, on whose shoulders the real burden of the or- ganization rests. We acknowledge with appreciation the ad- vice and assistance of our teacher sponsor, Mr. Peter F. Kean, without Whose aid many of our eH:orts would not have been success- ful.

Consisting of two saxophones, two clarinets, four trumpets, a 0 trombone, piano and drum, the orchestra made great progress. lt seems that too many people have the wrong idea of a school orchestra. Many consider it as a unit that plays boring symphony music. This, l am happy to say, is a wrong concep- tion. The boys were limited to two performances that included Class Day, and the day of all days, graduation. The orchestra deeply im- pressed the parents, faculty, and the juniors and seniors present. As l stated before despite the lack of performances the boys received a great deal of experience by rehearsing every Monday morning throughout the entire year. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Young for his instruction and for the fine manner in which he brought us along in the field of music. Next year the orchestra hopes to enlarge. 5 i 2 3 if 4 Nu 'X I' , YSLA at Row 3 Herbert Altsttxe , Kenneth Ltitl, fotan Stlvcnnalt Mitt. 5, Steve Sa tl, Joseph Frank, George Rohtstein, Stanley Cola:-rt, Rtilten Marqultf, Irwn Rrvt-nigtocin, 'R-cbard Goldstein, Melvin Cttessler, Arnokl Volikntl louis Dt2LaFlot, Arttnf S'-jie' 'U n r k r Qc Ut i vt Uni-ald Persk ' n f ' Huto Lewenthal Robert M er -ww 2 Sum e Yee e nb- Ita . ,f ,' ti f c' .:, 3 , y 5, Allan Strachrnan, Melvin Golnrirty, Gerald lcv-ne, lance Berger, James Lawrence, Allan Dreiker Row l Robert Stillman, Richard Aristan, lrvtnq Nude-l Stanley Fner, David Cheren, Mrs McGrath, Qobert Pcsofi, Frank Richmond Morr-s Rodney, larry Gnldtarb Fred Berman Once again the Public Speaking Class was the extra-curricular activity with the most members.

The phases to be covered in this Held are the Atomieal, Electrical and Mechanical. Each . will be dealt with so completely that we shall be well prepared for the College Boards. Physics not being the easiest subject to do well in, will require much time: but ir will be worth the while if we get into the college that we choose. The Physics Review has a two-fold purpose: one, as mentioned above, all for College Boards, two, to enable those boys who intend taking it in college to have that much more of an advantage over those students who are not fortunate enough to have a club of this nature.

You see, Mrs. McGrath our won- derful .md very .lble speech instructor, suddenly became ill because of overwork. There is .in old adage in the theatre that states, The show must go on g and so it does, with the curtain rising on act one of 'Pink Magic , which by the way was very successful and enjoyed Ll two-night stand. This play was for the benefit of our sister schoolls scholarship fund, for which some of our fellows pledged themselves, and for this deed shall not go ineognito. ilihe boys thu were in this sehol.1rship play, listed according to the importance of their role, .ire Ted Stein as lbl.lI'lLlI1U, Irwin S. Rosenbloom as Wallyi' Grant, Lennie Davidson as jose, Melvin Moller as Kimball, Newton Trevans as the guide, Alan Dreiker as Mr. Prowder, jerry Pessin as Holt, and Maurice Rodney as n friend of the C0lby's. From the time the doors of 328 are opened to eager customers, till the day when the bulletin echoes the names of the absent- minded, the Ring Committee is faced with orders, complaints, trials, and tribulations. 0 4 One thing the members do learn about during their term is human nature. They meet all kinds. For instance the Silas Mar- ner of the school who brings his fortune in small denominations-pennies. Then, there is the complainer whose ring is too big. There are always a few skeptics. They pull the ring, push it, bang it, and drop it making sure .theirs isn't a dud. Of course, no pur- chase is ever complete without the returnees. whose war cry is : My ring is fading away Can't understand it. Our Worthy ring man always solves that problem by either proving the ring was unconsciously dipped in sulfuric acid, or accidently coated with a generous amount of mercury. But through all the complaints, through all the bulletins inform- ing us that the Ring Man will return just one more time the Ring Committee emerges victorious and successful.

Under the able guidance of Mr. Botelho the club presents its members with a practical program to help broaden their knowledge of our Spanish- speaking neighbors, their customs, and of language itself. The education meetings are concerned with films or club reports on Spain or a lecture from an authority on the subject. This year Mr. McCormick, head of Roxbury's language department, enlightened the boys of the Spanish Club on Spainis national sport of l'1L'l'fightiI1g. In its efforts to accomplish this program the Spanish Club has attained the position of being one of the most active organizations in Memorzal. The officers of the Spanish Club who have done their utmost to bring about the success of the club's activities are Michael Spitz, president, Robert Myers, vice president, Irwin Rosenbloom, secretary, Mel- vin Chessler, treasurer, and Samuel Svetkey, sergeant at arms.

Robert Schulze, Armor Singer, Franklin Rosenfield The State Department of Education has instituted a plan which seeks to promote greater understanding between the high school students in-the cities and towns through personal contact. This year's committee consists of four very able boys elected by the senior class of Mem- orial in an earlier bollot. They are Bill Hodges, Allan Strachman, Larry Goldfarb, Steve Luster and George Berlin. Bill Hodges will also be our school representative to the Good Government Day :o be held in March at the State House, along with other dele- gates from their respective high schools. The Student Exchange Committee acts as the host for their out-of-town visitors, showing them the local historical points of interest, and explaining our local form of government. LJ Q? fl-4 nv' wzwzi Memorial,s Exchange Committee is under the able direction ofMr. Dullea, who is the head of the History Department in the school. He also will accompany the boys on the Ex- change Committee. S2 i L fi! Xl Through the crack in the door, the secret messenger deciphered the latest totals, dashed up the stairway and hustled through the corridor reporting: Down The Road is still first! Such was the excitement caused by the l955 Roxbury Memorial High School Record Poll. With the consent of Nlr. Landrigan and Dr. Crudden, the committee went to work, little realizing the scope of the task they had undertaken. First came the distribution and collection of ballots. Then the relentless job of tabulating the result. But through the combined efforts of the group, this piece of work was completed in only two days, 99 per cent legitimately. After drawing up the ded- ications, the committee settled down for their radio debuts, still managing to keep the final results .1 secret . On November 4, 1955, four representatives of the group, Art Singer, Al Silverman, Bob Myers, and Steve Saltz, appeared on Bob Claytonls Boston Ballroom. The poll was presented, its outcome discussed.

The team consists of the following lecrermen from other sports: Roscoe Baker-Quarterback of the football team, and second highest scorer in the city on the basketball team last year. Stan Brown-who has had two years' of basketball experience, and this year will move into the first base position. Bob Gerraughty-A dependable second base- man, who can come up with that needed hit. Norm. Goldstein-who started as a varsity player in his first year, and did a job at short- stop and behind the plate. Bill Hodges-One of the finest athletes Memorial has yet turned out, a standout in football, baseball, and basketball. 2? Burt Krantz-a starting guard on this year's basketball team, a speedy left Helder, and good lead-off batter. Bob Schulze-captain of the baseball team, who can play either short, third or catcher.

It startd off with the green and 'gold' defeating Boston College High by a score of 58 to 45. Their next victims Were Trade, Technical, Latin and Englishg and, may I add, that we Went into Latin school's own territory and handed them a 65-27 slashing. The leader of this year's team was a six feet two inch junior, Roscoe Baker, who really lived up to his pre-season billing. Roscoe averaged about nineteen points per game, and his hustle and rebounding established him as the city league's top player. Tony Santio had a fine season along with Hugh Joyner, Curtis jones and Bob Camp- bell. These boys played their hearts out the entire season, and they are indeed a credit to Memorial. 2? The green and gold did not have a definite captain this year. They used a system which had a different captain for each game. We will be looking for bigger and better things next year under the coaching of Mr. Keane.

Our team captain, all scholastic full back, Billy Hodges, gained a first down almost everytime he got his hands on the ball. Oct. 19 Memorial and English tied 6-6. Quarterback Roscoe Baker's connecting pass to left end C. Irving on a 67-yard scoring play tied the game. It took three tackles to bring down Robert Rogers after his 10 yard gain for a first down credited to Memorial. Oct. 26 Brighton beat Memorial by an upset, 13-12. Memorial led 12-0 at halftime. Roscoe Baker made two second pgfiotl touch- down passes: one, a three-yard jump pass to Ray Craddock, and the other, a 49-yarder to Charley Irving. Nov. 6 Memorial heat Teelmieal 7-ll.

Franklin Park is the scene of our delightful activity. Under blue skies and white clouds of April, May, and june wr send that little white pellet bouncing over spacious fairways onto the velvety greens. If our putting leaves much to be desired, we at least learn to keep our tempers under reason- able control. Interscholastic matches with able rivals have been arranged. We are especially hopeful of defeating our arch-rival Latin. Golf re- quires patience and determination to master. It is not only a highly-competetive sport but it especially healthful and relaxing because it gets us out of the closeness and stuffiness of a class room into God's wide-open spaces, where we can drink in the sweet pure air of spring. i g i i f L X f I uv f Ssswm-.S-Q Row 2 Leonard Davidson, Elliot Zade, Paul Manin, James Murray, Paul O'Connor, Edward Freedman, Donald Harrison, Russel McKinnon, Ronald Furie, Mr. Chiarini Row I Bernard Orensvein, Joseph Lyons, John Forfier, Samuel Svefkey, Theodore Snyder, James Leahy Under our hockey coach, Henry Chiarini, we had a fighting team that has typified all Memorial sports, whether winners or not. Mr. Chiarini, a veteran of ten years of coach- ing in Boston high schools, took a green team and made it into .1 pretty good outht. Led by Capt. john Fortier, and sparked by the brilliant goal tending of Ronnie Furie, the team has made a gallant effort. Others contributing to the hustle of the team were seniors, Paul Martin, jim Murray, Bernie Orenstein, Sam Svetkey, Ted Snyder, Ed Freedman, and Don Harrison. Promising sophomores who added greatly to the team were, Paul O'Connor, Russ McKin- non, joe Lyons, and Elliot Zade. On january 20, 1956, we faced Boston Latin. The First period was very hard fought, with Www Capt. Fortier coming very close to scoring. Latin scored at the seven minute mark of the period. In the second period Memorial again showed their great fight, but couldn't pene- trate the Latin Goalie. 1 HUCIKEY J :WWI F-:U 5: ..

Witli six returning lettermen, Coach Greyser has the nucleus of an outfit that should make this prophecy true. The six returning letternien are Leonard David- son, Anthony Santio, lidward Zide, Robert Davis, George Ferguson, and Barry Belt. Captain Lenny Davidson. last year's number one man, is expected to retain the same position, with Tony Santio and Eddie Zide Hghting it out for second and third positions. In doubles, Coach Greyser will have Bob Davis, George Ferguson, and Barry Belt to provide the experience, along with the flock of newcomeers looking for positions on the team. Since there are only three Senniors on the squad this year, prospects for she future look bright also.

The team took a good second against a highly- noteicl Latin team and a third against an- other strong opponent, Tech., in the other meet. In tlhe B.A.A. meet we took an excellent fourth, beating all the other schools of th: city league. The outstanding runners were, Henry Burns, who won the high iumpg john Middleton who placed second in the S0-yard hurdles: and our excellent relay team of Burns, Pearson, Middleton and Ray.
