Row 1 Richard Francis, Lawrence Albert, Edward Summers, Row 2 Mr. ‘ HL ockey The 1959 edition of Memorial’s hockey team found itself transplanted from the City League to the District League. This year’s squad was a fast-skating group led by five starters of last year’s squad. Starting in the nets with two year’s experience was goalie Ralph Mooers. Also returning with two year’s experience were Jim Leahy, Charlie Monroe, and co-captains Eddie Summers and Larry Albert. Leahy and Monroe were the defensemen; the goalie, Mooers; and the first line consisted of Eddie Summers, Larry Albert, Burt Horblit, Ken McKinnon, and Dick Francis. A tip of the hat goes to coach Leary, without whose expert guidance our puck-handlers would not have been able to put on the ice a team characterized by such good passing, clever checking, and determined fighting spirit. Charles Kenneth McKinnon Leary, Ralph Mooers, Peter Boginski, Lawrence Crichton, Murry Szathmary, John Farrell Munroe, Although Memorial High was the most under- manned team in the league, the lack of quan- tity was overbalanced by the high quality of its small but spirited squad and the capable coaching of Mr. Leary. fe} . ‘ tos

Nevertheless the boys showed a determined spirit and a willingness to play football. The majority of players came from our shop division, with the sophomores dominating the positions. The twenty-five player squad by sheer perserverance and determination achieved its success as a football team by defeating Dorchester High in the annual game by a score of 20-6. This victory climaxed a season in which the boys progressed from beginners to experi- enced players, who will help whatever team they play for. The Green and Gold will not engage in com- bat on the field of football in the years to come. The many great and near great warriors Sontag, James Bacon, Kenneth of the gridiron of Memorial High will be happy memories of days gone by. For here at Memorial High, coaches and players both past and present must accept the fact that the old order changeth. sips nes aot arenertentene ne ns eens we wtsibees

With a starting team of last year’s lettermen, Memorial hopes for another winning season. Graduation left us with many vacant places, but we have coming back Albie Rue, Orrys Williams, Bob Sontag, Larry Glazer, Mel Bloom, and Mike Underwood. The team placed second and sent two men to the state tournament. This year’s co-captains are Albie Rue and Orrys Williams, backed up by a team full of spirit, with each man ready to play not for himself b ut for the team. Our school has produced first-rate teams and this year will be no different. In both singles and doubles, Memorial will field players who meet the high Standards set by the teams of previous years. if you should go to the tennis courts at Frank- lin Field you can see a fine hustling Memorial team playing with good team spirit and sports- manship engendered by this fine pastime. We thank Mr. Greyser for his assistance, and hope that Memorial may produce another winning team. GE ice
