MORRISSEY After twenty-eight ycors ot Somerville High School, Arthur Morrissey looks forword to his leisure with the good health ond optimism of o mon who hos token life in his stride His experience hos been voried. Beginning os o regulor member of the foculty, he hos been heod of the Latin Department ond Principol of the Evening School. During the term of his attractive wife on the School Committee, he became one of the two Vicc-Heodmosters of the High School. His fellow-teochers remember wtih odmirotion the seven beautiful Morrissey daughters os they grew up. At leost once c yeor in the spring, they were occustomed to visit their father ot the high school. Dr. Morrissey will long be remembered for some of the characteristics of former President Colvin Coolidgc. It wos from the college named for the President thot he received his doctorate in Education. The measured treod, the soft, slow, well-calculated response marked his poised, quiet personality. Never one to become disturbed, he walked the even tenor of his way. Meticulous in his oppeoronce, his greotest problem wos with the careless manner of student dress. When collors were hastily fastened ond sleeves hurriedly rolled down, it wos evident thot Mr. Morrissey was in the offing. Those up for discipline will long remember the sessions of Round Table in what they mischievously referred to os King Arthur's Court. Now, os he launches forth on a new routine, tcochers ond students join in wishing him Bon Voyage. Fifteen SENIORS Senior dfadd J4idot Speaking in behalf of the closs of 1956, Henry Slid- ziouskas received oar closs colors on June 5, 1953. In o speech of occeptonce, he promised that our closs would uphold the code of Honor ond Progress established by more than o century of graduates before us. On September 10 of 1953 the doors of Somerville High School were opened to us, the Closs of 1956. Graduolly we odapted ourselves to the juniors' ond seniors' procticol jokes; and before long, we were ac- cepted os o port of Somerville High. We begon our activities by electing on Executive Committee consisting of Ronald Baptiste, Potricio Flo- herty, Robert McLucos ond Dorothy McCormick, who rep- resented us much to our satisfaction. Elizabeth Ander- son, Lorraine Moxwell, Dovid Brennon, ond Michoel Gormley were elected to the Sophomore Student Council. Pete Cleory wos our first contribution to the vorsity basketball team. Roy Agonowsky, our contribution to the football team wos severely injured ond therefore sidelined for the remainder of his school yeors. September, 1954 rolled in, ond we trudged bock to school bearing the title Juniors. It wos our turn to jibe the incoming sophs. We elected for our Junior Closs Officers: President, Ronold Boptiste; Vice-President, Potricio Floherty; Sec- retory, Woldo Corbett; ond Treasurer, Herbert Gordon. We olso selected our Junior Night Committee: Robert Bredin, John Knight, Carol Flynn, ond Dorothy Mc- Cormick. Other elections brought forth our junior mem- bers of Student Council. They were Borboro Drinkwater, Lorraine Moxwell, Dovid Brennon, ond Michoel Gormley; Elizobcth Anderson wos elected os Jr. Vice-President of of the Student Council. Representing the Junior Closs on the football field were Vinnie Corcoran ond Jock Sullivon; on our bosket- boll team were Russ Borker (our hero), Jimmy Whclon (our giant). Bob Pickett, and lost but not leosf, Vinnie Goodrich; ond our champion Jim Blackburn led us on to victory by winning the stotc chompionship n track. Our faithful faculty selected twenty-two pupils out of our closs to the Notionol Honor Society. The most memorable, proud occosion for our Junior year wos when Russ Borker . . . well, you know. Alos, our Senior year started two weeks loter than ex- pected, due to on unfortunate polio epidemic. Much to our surprise, the Closs of 1956 sow the rcolity of o new stodium. Vinnie Corcoran ond Jock Sullivon were chosen os co-coptoins of the footboll team to lead us on to victory, ond Vinnie Corcoran wos selected os o member of the All Scholostic teom. We elected our new senior closs officers: Donold Smith, president, Patricia Floherty, vice-president; Joon Heofey, secretory; and Herbert Gordon, treasurer. We chose, to plon our prom, o Senior Night Committee: Choirmon, Louis Show; Jock Knight, Robert Bredin, Jonon Rice, ond Elizabeth Anderson. Potricio Floherty, the outstanding personality of Som- erville High School '56, wos oworded the DAR medol. Upon returning to classes ofter Christmas vocation, we were confronted with on eoting problem. By some quirk of fotc there wos o fire, ond our auditorium ond lunchroom were o shombles. After several experiments, which proved unsuccesful, it wos decided that those pupils who were fortunate enough to not to hove special period closses would be allowed to go home ot 12:30 P.M. The pupils having speciol period closses would hove to eat in the tcochers' lunchroom. The ycor wore on ond finally our Senior Prom come. Our congratulations to the Art Club for the beautiful job on decorations ond to the committee for moking it possible for us to enjoy ourselves so thoroughly. There were thirty-nine seniors selected for the sec- ond drawing of Notionol Honor. Our Senior year terminated with Class Day Exer- cises. The Committee, Dione frotus, Louro Owen, Bar- boro Bettencourt, Michoel Gormley, ond Dovid Brennon, did o wonderful job arranging the exercises. Graduation Night brought forth our valedictorian ond solutatorion upon the stage to encourage us to meet the challenging world with a steady bond. As we pass our school colors of blue ond white to the closs of 1959, we express to them our confidence thot they shall succeed os we hove.

The doy on which the mon from boy is born. As the infont bird comes from its shell ond blinks its widened eyes. So come we here. And os the bird drinks in life-giving sunlight ond utters its first cries ond flops its wings. So tried we to sing, ond did. Now comes the moment when we leap from our protecting tree. Sholl we fly or foil? And os the coptive bursts his bonds ond runs, unfettered into liberty. So run we. Fledglings, supplionts, conquerors. Into the world.

Working together, they represent the entire school ■n ort work for various organization drives, such os the American Red Cross. Christmos time there was fun making personal Christ- mes cords for personal use os well os to sell. At the beginning of February, o party box was filled with gomes, posters, volentines, and tray fovors wos sent to he Americon Red Cross to be used for the Valentine's Doy party ot the Chelsea Naval Hospitol. The Red Cross, in return, expressed their heartfelt thanks to mem. During the year illustrations were drown tor our schcol magazine and the yearbook. The most exciting ond interesting tosk undertaken by the Art Club was the creating ond setting up of the beoutiful decorations in the gym for the Senior Prom.

Wotch those swinging doors! Hurry—you'll be lote for class. Mr. Lonigon? 2nd floor, Eost Building. Then, the most-often-heord dialogue of oil: Got a corridor permit? queried a gruff voice. Nooo, but I . . . . replied o meek voice. Get o corridor permit! interrupted the gruff voice. Does it have o familiar ring to it? The relentless policeman wos a member of the Traffic Squad. He and fellow members were on duty during Speciol Period to keep the corridors free of unnecessary traffic. Because of the fire, which caused o change in the high school progrom, eliminating Speciol Period, the boys were tempo- rarily released of that duty. With members of the foculty, os well os students moving from class to class, it would be difficult for teachers to be ossigned to special posts. This is where the Troffic Squod becomes a necessity, helping to keep filing between classes flowing smoothly by their efficient ond inconspicuous direction. The boys served os ushers durng Tolcnt Night and also during the presentation of the Scholarship Ploy at the Western Junior High School. The end of the year wos climaxed by on outing.

Due to the fire in the auditorium Jonuory 5 this yeor's Scholarship play, Mother Was a Freshman wos pre- sented ot the Western Junior High School. The leoding ployers were: Elaine Kotell os the mother, Robert Hutchins os the leoding man, with Dorothy Shubow ond Edword Sherry sharing the other major roles. In spite of the disadvantage of the stoge and the layout, the ploy wos a success. Due to the storm, unfortunately, the Players' Club was unable to go to the Drama Festivol at Emerson College in Boston. A party and outing climaxed the year for the mem- bers of the Players' Club. 1— Eloinc Kctcll.

Certainly there is 0 wide use for the procticol use of the persuosive tongue in our dem- ocracy. Are Americans willing to encourage those who oppeol to their emotions, ignoring logicol reasons ond obvious focts? A small group of boys loyoly persist in trying to keep olive the fine organization thot the Webster Dcboting Society once was. There wos o time when membership hod to be determined by a highly competitive entrance requirement. To maintain one's standing, regular par- ticipation in public debate with other schools wos de- manded. Much time, research, ond energy wos spent in the preparation of well-constructed ond well-delivered debotes of o formol noture. In recent yeors, application to a serious activity like debating is locking among high school students such as ours. In spite of many interruptions this yeor, the Webster Debating Society completed its whole ogendo. Under the direction of odvisor Mr. F. X. Thornton, ond officers Edword Sulesky, president; Dovid Brennan, vice-president; Poul Prentiss, secretary; Stephen Horris, treasurer; and Dainel Freitos, Student Council represen- tative, the members mode strides in debating ond dis- cussion. Webster wos well represented in the Red Feather Spooking Contest by Paul Prentiss ond in the American Legion Oratoricol Contest by Jomes Johnson. There wos participation in the Webster Oratorical Contest, the Northeastern University' Speaking, Debating, and Read- ing Contest, Memoriol Doy exercises, Heorst Orotorical Contest, ond o debate with Everett High School. The season concluded with the Webster Debating So- ciety annuol bonquet at Cabot Forms with some of its graduates os guests. 2 « Speaking—Edward Sulesky 1— Paul Prentiss, Stephen Harris. 2— Daniel Freitos, Richord Johnson, Dovid Brennan.

Later, however, Mr. George Hickey, the school librarian, agreed to hcip, and the yeor storted with a donee, Stordust Serenade. Bob Clayton wos the disc jocky ond Lena herrone, a Junior, wos selected to be Miss Portio of 1956. The dance wos successful, financially and socially. In June Portio will present o scholarship to aid a worthy senior in higher education. The officers this year were: President, Patricia Flo- herty; Vice-president, Rose Marie Maiello; Secretory, Charlotte Forror; Treasurer, Barbara Fogone; Marshall, Bonnie Grohom, ond Representative to Student Council, Elena Ciano. In January open house wos held for interested sopho- mores ond juniors. Throughout the year, debates within the club enobled the girls to goin poise, experience, and competence in formol deboting. Among these debates, were some on such pertinent topics os Limited membership ond lead- ership in extra-curriculor activities, Advisability of outomobile licensing only for persons over eighteen, ond Should pupils study in the school library. On February 22, Portia held its onnual party ot the Woodbridge Hotel in Somerville. There wos fun, dancing, and on enjoyable evening for everyone. Portia now looks forword to the time when o schedule of debates may be resumed with other schools. One hundred five Service ... is the purpose for which the Somerville High School Key Club exists. The club hos rolled through its second successful yeor under the supervision of its foculty odvisors, Mr. Dovid Jones ond Mr. Edward Berra and the direction of its officers. Theodore Holey, president; Walter Shields, vice-president; Stephen Horris, secretory; Robert Capo- bianco, treasurer; and Donald DiBona, Student Council representative. During March, twelve new members were admitted to the club and the election of officers for the next school yeor were held. The officers elected were: Walter Shields, president; Robert Constontino, vice-president; Cosmo Camellio, secretory; Kenneth Dewar, treasurer; ond Williom McKenzie, Student Council representative. During the post school year the Key Club oided in many school, civic, ond charitable activities, such as ushering ond selling tickets ot the Somerville School- men's Club Scholarship Dance, ushering ot the Notionol Honor Society's assembly, selling wreaths ond trees for the Kiwonis Club's chority Christmos tree sole, serving os hosts at the Kiwonis Club's Starlet show which is held onnually for the Somerville Kiwonis Club's chority fund, and aiding the American Red Cross in their fund raising campaign for 1956. At the New England Key Club convention which wos held ot Laconia, New Hampshire, the SHS Key Club received the greatest honor in its young life when it received on achievement ribbon for its club bonner.

Combining student leadership with that of foculty advisor, Mr. Hegorty, the Council hod o very successful year. The cooperation of the members, who listened to and discussed every motion fervently, mode the council on active place this year. At the mojority of the meet- ings, the discussions centered around the revising of qualifications for officers elected from the class. The meetings were attended by several faculty members, showing the faculty's growing interest in the needs and problems of the student. The annual fall convention wos held at Melrose High and o record-breaking number of students from SHS offended. Nineteen members enjoyed the festivities of the day. Membership in the Council hos been enlarged to cover every extra-curriculor activity, thus insuring a council more representative of the school. ARTICLE V Powers and Duties The Council shall: 1. Act in on advisory capocity with the faculty and the headmaster of the school in matters which concern the affairs of the pupils. 2.

The duties of the librory assistants ore varied. They include preparing ond filing catalog cards, preparing new books for circulation, keeping attendance and circula- tion records, preparing mogozines and periodicals for reading room use, ond, of course, making out ond de- livering those everlasting overdue book notices.

The help of these librory assistants enable the tcoch- ers ond students to do their special projects and re- search work with greater ease ond speed. JUNIOR RED CROSS m-------------► During this school season the Junior Red Cross in Somerville High experienced one of its most rewarding ond eventful ycors. Truly the Red Cross gool of helping people in distress to enjoy life has been ochieved. Early in the year the Red Cross Council wos introduced to its new odvisor, Mr. Sullivan. In oddition to the regular Red Cross drive during ihe foil, the Junior Red Cross Council asked the Art Club to oid in their project of the yeor. As always they were willing to help. They made a beautiful porty box filled with prizes ond gomes, some original troy favors, ond ten valentine posters. These were presented to the Chelsea Naval Hospital for all to enjoy. Some of the tray favors were ploced on exhibition at the Red Cross Head- quarters. Toble decorotions, also made by the Art Club, were presented to Boston VA Hospital ond the West Roxbury Hospital. tants 1— Civitino Spinoso, Potr.c.o Anderson, Priscilla Cosmon, Gale Bcrmon.

C luil Lb)etacliment In cose you did not know it, the American National Red Cross hos o group of rivols right here in SHS. Under the capable direction of the officers: President, Lorroine Maxwell; Vice-President, Gino Porisse; Secre- tory, Michoel Gormley; and Student Council Representa- tive Richord Anderson, the Civil Defense Detochment is ready to help in any disaster. Whether it be on enemy ottack, hurricone, flood, or the like, the CDD is well pre- pared because of their knowledge of first oid. The members ore seniors who hove successfully com- pleted the Stondard and Advanced First-Aid Courses. Eoch is assigned throughout the school to one of the seventeen lockers equipped with first-aid moteriols. The organization wos asked by the Stote Civil Defense Authority to write up the octivty of the group so other high school units in Massachusetts could be modeled after it. The detachment wos not formed for the members' pleasure but rather the safety of their fellow students. Because of the uncertainty in the rules concerning evocu- otion before o bombing, they con be prepored to give first aid in school in the original way ond to take their First Aid kits with them when they ore told to evacuote. Miss Anno Connor is he faculty advisor of the group. We ought to be proud of our CDD and regard it higher than an ordinory cxtra-Curriculor octivity. One hundred twelve Could a group from the school give o program to entertoin our club? For mony years, willing ond oble students hove volunteered their services to the com- munity, giving pleasure ond getting experience os o reward. The good-will created by generous young mu- sicians, dancers ond impersonators has been a construc- tive force in softening the harsh impressions made by the coreless destroyers of public property ond sympothy. There has been a long succession of talent which became professional offer the amateur status of high school years was passed. Horry Dickson, first violinist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, assistant to Arthur Feidler in conducting the Peps orchcstro, was o violinist of the SH$ orchestra. Another fine violinist was Henry Levenson for whom the local American Legion Post was named. In Piano there hove been Eleanor Pockord Jockson who won the Mason ond Homlin piano upon graduation frem the New England Conservatory of Music, and Leo Litwin, now pianist for the Boston Pops orchestro. In voice, Alden Edkins wos featured for years on the coost-to-ccost Cities Service music hour; ond Jock Kilty starred in the original cost of Oklohomo, singing the musical comedy songs everyone knows so well. Barbora Reed Colburn used to give more than generously of her doncing talent ot school before she went on to become o regular member of the Radio City Rockettes. Tony Lovelli is remembered for his skill in piano ond accordion. And of course there were Bob Dini ond Lillian Zango who almost song themselves out, so school-spirited were they. From this history of volunteer work there evolved a regular organization of students in the school. The purpose of the Entertoinment group is to provide pleasure for hospitols, charitable institutions, clubs ond neighboring schools. Its activities ore under the super- vision of Miss Beatrice Sweet ond Mr. Poul Kelly. Talent Night, in November, proved to be the begin- ning of a successful season. On Christmas eve the group carolled at severol hos- pitols ond homes for the aged. Concerts were given for the Rotary and Kiwonis Clubs. Complimenting a splendid performance the Kiwonis Club requested another con- cert for May 4. Among the affairs which they participated in of the high school were concerts of both the Christmos and Memorial Doy assemblies. The Entertainment Group is one of the largest ona busiest groups in the high school. Their work is a source of pride ond pleasure to the entire school. One hundred thirteen Music creates o happy atmosphere. No better ex- ample of this could be found than the fun hod by the members of the Girls' Glee Club every Wednesday Special Period in Room 315. They took this time to tune up and prepore music for their Annual Concert. Another highlight of their progrom was the success- ful Talent Show presented in November. All who at- tended enjoyed the fine program. Along with the Boys' Glee Club, the girls sponsored o record hop in April. Bob Clayton spun the records in his usual affable manner. The money reolized was used to finonce the annuol catered banquet for the boys ond girls in June.

Building in Cheverus Hall on December 12, and song for the Infontile Porolysis Group ot the Americon Legion on Decem- ber 17. Following the annual dance held in the high school gymnasium on March 2, the boys storted rehearsals for the glee club concert. To round out the end of the yeor the boys and their occomponists, Judy Howord, Ernie Hart, and Ruth Lon- coster, enjoyed a banquet held ot the Elks. One hundred fifteen Like the indefatigable postman, the Somerville High Band braved rain, sleet and cold this year to fulfill its appointed rounds. Corrying two tubos ond a large omount of school spirit, the bond helped to cheer the red ond blue football team through the scoson. After the lest gome, Mr. 8izicr, the bondmoster, began to prcporc the bond for the jobs it docs eoch year. There were hopes that the reconstruction of Clayton Ellis Holl would in- clude o sound-proof procticc room for the Bond in an extension bock of the stoge. For countless yeors, the Bond hos shored with the Jouronolism Staff o former classroom divided by the plywood of the music cabinets, a situation hardly conducive to the enrichment of the fine orts of music or creotivc writing. Although its rehearsal schedule was upset by the domoge to the auditorium, the bond nevertheless played on ot the Somerville Kiwonis Club's annuol Starlet Show. After playing at four ploces in the city on Patriot's Doy, the members returned to the high school, where they received their award for the yeor's services:— the school board provided a complete turkey dinner, which mode everyone look forword happily to the beginning of another seoson. 1— Joan Dick, Judy Howord, Lucille Goodridge, Bonnie Graham, Shirley Taylor, Carol Bennett, Ellen Driscoll.

The terrific combination of Sullivon ond Corcoron completely stumped the Quincy ground offense. Cor- coron proved his obility by being nomed All-Scholastic center by the Boston American ond wos feted ot o banquet ot which he wos presented o jocket. Fresh from two victories, Somerville stumbled into de- feat ot the hands of the Molden eleven. This gome wos especially hard to lose, the score being 7-6. Our only touchdown wos scored by Hoi Webber, whose try for the extro point wos unsuccessful. Our greatest victory of the season come on Thanksgiving day, when we ployed host to Woltham, ot Dilboy Stodium. Mike Mc- Laughlin scored all the points with o brilliant 102 yard kick-off return, o quarterbock sneak ond conversion. Score 13-6.

In the Stotc Meet, Somerville ploced seventh, with Jimmy Blackburn tying the 300 yard record of 33 seconds. Al Cullen come in fourth in the 50 yard dosh, ond the reloy team placed third. In his post three yeors ot the high school, Jim Black- bum hos set an athletic record thot will long be re- membered ond odmired. Among the titles that Jim hos won ore: BAA Champion, 50 yords; Indoor State Champion, 50 yords; Outdoor State Chompion, 100 yards; Indoor New Englond Chompion, 40 yords; Out- door New Englond Chompion, 100 yords; New Eng- lond AAU Chompion, 60 yards; ond GBI Chompion in the 100 ond 220 yord doshes. Senior Al Cullen, in his first year out for track, also sparked the team with his wins in the 50 yard dosh. Al, starting right holfbock of the football teom ond a member of the hockey teom in his junior yeor, wos defeated only once in five duol meets, ond thot wos wos by Blockburn ond Elder, the Indoor Stote Cham- pions. At the lost indoor track meet of the season, in Februory, Ron Boptiste ploced first in the 600; Jim Blockburn first in the 300, Jock Knight first in the 1000, Al Cullen first in the dosh; ond Cullen, Brodley, Baptiste and Blackburn first in the relay. Finishing second were Jock Barrett in the 1000, Fron O'Loughlin in the mile, ond Don DiBono in the high jump. Vinnie Goodridge ploced third in the shotput; Les Wolloce ond Jock Knight tied for third in the high jump. In Morch, Somerville High's trock teom, thanks to the triple win of Jim Blackburn in the dash, 300 ond brood jump, won the Bowdoin Interscholastic Trock Meet. The members of the trock teom wish to thonk their coach, Richord Hegorty, for his confidence in their ability to win ond his constant desire for them to become better men, if not better athletes. Blockburn ond Cullen represented Somerville High in the Notional Trock Meet ot Modison Square Garden, Blackburn plocing fifth in the 60 yord dosh.

And they were right in thinking so, because for the first time in fourteen years the Gorden has not seen the famous Somerville snowfall, hundreds of colorful signs, ond thousands of loyal SHS fans. Brockton hod beoten Somerville and ruined their Tourney chances. But the boys did not lose in shame. They hod done what they could ond remoined our pride and joy. When the basketball seoson started, Cooch Sullivan hod almost oil new moteriol. He hod no storters return- ing from last year's mirocle men, ond few boys with experience. Yet, he did his usuol wonderful job, ond turned out o teom that went on to be co-champion of the Greater Boston League, a teom with o better league record thon the mirocle men of '55. This year the teom was led by three co-coptoins, Russ Barker, hero of last year's Tech Tourney finol, Vinnie Goodridge, ond Bob Pickett. Bobby Caruso, next ycor's coptain, was the team's high scorer and also the third highest scorer in the Greater Boston Leogue. Donnie Giordano wos the fifth starter and a very voluoble player, despite the injury he received. Eoch boy had a different value ond together they mode o high spirited ond very co-operative team. Getting off to o bod start in non-lcogue games ond the first league gome, the boys rollied bock with a record of 11 wins ond 2 losses, shoring the champion- ship with Everett. Somerville's two losses were to Med- ford, o team which wos led by a former Somerville, ployer, big Jim Whelan. In non-league play, Cambridge Lotin ond Wolthom downed the locals twice. As the seoson progressed ond the teom improved, the individual value of each boy become obvious. Barker's speed wos of greot importance in every gome; Vinnie, who gove up scoring rebounding, wos outstanding at the bockboords; Bob Pickett's all-round playing led the teom to many a win; Bob Coruso's scoring wos re- sponsible for victories over Quincy, Moldcn, Chclsco ond others. The loss of Don Giordano, caused by o bod ankle injury in the Lowell gome, wos felt by the teom, os Donnie wos always in there scoring ond rebounding. Jock Knight deserved credit for the fine job he did in filling in for Don, os does Donny Murphy ond Paul Burns. Sophomore Al Bertram proved to be just whot Somerville needed ogainst Arlington, when he scored fifteen points to moke the teom eligible for the Tech preliminaries. They hod o lot to live up to ond did o good job of it. They will not be forgotten; they will go down in Somer- ville school history with the some fame ond glory as ony other team from Somerville High School, win, lose, or tie. One hundred twenty-four Puck and stick set aside for onother year, we turn our attention to the season's record. Although unimpressive, it showed progressive improvement. The teom got off to o poor stort, but grew better os it gained experience. We were the first teom to score this yeor against a very strong Notick, ond we downed o powerful Molden teom in the ployoffs. It wos the generol consensus that SHS hod ot the end of the season the most improved teom in the league. Although Coach Goggin hos o green team ot the stort of the seoson, he did o notable job in whipping the team into shape. This year one member of the teom took the first step toword o career in hockey. Senior George Noone, o bril- liant defensemon, played with the All-Stars. The starters were: George Noone, ot right defense; Bill Coombs ot left defense, Joe Smith ot center.

CHARLES DICKERMAN ROBERT BUCKLEY Director of Athletic Monogcr of Athletics One hundred twenty-eight Perhaps the biggest group of optimists in Somerville High ore the checrleoders. These peppy girls, under the direction of Miss O'Brien, worked hord oil year ond were on osset to the Red and Blue football ond bosketboll teams. The girls brought honor to S.H.S. when they were owarded second prizes in the cheerleoding competitions ot Dedham ond of Walthom. Seniors on the squad were Elisa Aletto, Woldo Corbett, Marie Jone, Helen Joyce, Marlene Mortenscn, Pot Mul- ryon, Joonnc Murray, Phillis Piccordi, Jonon Rice, and the Swonson Twins, Sonja and Sylvia. At the beginning of the football scoson the cheer- leaders sold over four hundred red ond blue shakers, and throughout the year the attractive shokers were seen at athletic contests. After the fire, the girls were left without a place to proctice, since the cafeteria wos unoble to be used. Thonks to the kindness of the Music Department and Mr. Giroux, cheerleading practice wos held in 315. Replacing the popular Tomahawk Cheer, the fons gove trememdous support to the cheerleaders' rendition of The Mickey Mouse Cheer, ond the song soon be- came the battle cry of Somerville High. These familiar lines were heard in the gymnasium of the Greoter Bos- ton League tcoms: Who's the team that's going to win the '56 tourney? SO-MER-VI-LLE Somerville (clop, clop, clop) Somerville (clop, clap, clap) Forever let us hold our banners high, high, high. Come along ond sing this song and join the jamboree SO-MER-VI-LLE So ended another yeor of cheerleoding. 1— Sonio $ won ton, Louise Noble, Corot Ba Masson, Virginia Stccvos, Woldo Corbett, Helen Joyce, Joonnc Murray, Eliso Aletto, Marlene Morten son, Jonon Rice. ... _ . 2 -Noncy Resm.n., Pr.sc.llo Corbett, Rosolyn Pcrrone.

One hundred thirty One hundred thirty-on l- J I 1 On Central Hill, we ore fortunate to have o swimming pool within one block of the high school, and a bowl- ing alley two blocks away. The school gym has to be shored with the boys' numerous sports practices, o fact which mokes scheduling difficult for both. The city lacks tennis courts, but the girls find plenty of diversion in the program of the physical education deportment. Who does all the work for the GAAP Who keeps one hundred sixty girls hoppy in a well-organized schedule? Who sees to it that every girl in the association has her opinion voiced? The GAA Executive Board and the physicol education tcochers coopcrote in this endeavor. Every year when each group — basketball, bowl- ing, softboll, swimming, and badminton selects its cap- tain and manager, it also creates its representatives to the Executive Boord. Each girl is honor-bound to sec that her group is well-represented at each meeting. This year the girls chosen from each group proved to be more than enthusiastic. Through the support of these girls the membership of the GAA was increased to some one hundred sixty members and the Association en- joyed one of its most octivc seasons. Sponsoring basket- ball and bowling on Mondoy, basketball on Tuesdoy, bowling on Wednesday, swimming on Thursday, and Executive Boord meetings on Fridoy, the GAA received enthusiastic response from all.

One hundred thirty-two Here's one group that wouldn't be successful in the camero business; watching the birdie would drive them crazy. They could not resist the urge to hit it. And hit it was exactly what the G.A.A. Bcdminton group did every Wednesday and Thursday this yeor. Divided into beginners, intermediates, ond advanced groups, the girls were instructed on the do's ond don't's of the bodminton court by their coach Miss Snell. If every girl didn't know what the rules of the game were ond how to ploy to her own advantage before the yeor was over, it was her own fault. Every possible situation was token in practice to show the girls the best offense or defense to put into use. During the yeor o singles tournoment was held. It was a rough elimination os the Senior closs boasted such members as Alice Ferracone, Betty Zucco, Jeon Mcrlino, Rosemarie Maiello, Gino Parisse, Ruth Ryder, Lorraine Maxwell,—however, Alice Ferracone, offer de- feating Ruth Ryder in the finals, came out on the top! With a great deal of enthusiosm the badminton group went into the oct for preparing for the May 10 dem- onstration of bodminton. In answer to a volunteer coll, Miss Snell wos met with almost 100% participation from the group. And, when the exhibition come around, the girls did an excellent job. All in all the girls' bodminton group, this yeor, was one to be proud of!

If there could only be a girls' Tech Tourney! There is no doubt thot Somerivlle High's girls would be o threat to ony ball club in Greater Boston. With a varsity team made up of seniors ond juniors and a superior second teom, the Red and Blue might even moke the finals! Rcgordlcss of what might hove been, the girls had a lot of fun down at the gym. Combining a winning spirit with skill and proctice, the girls' team wos oble to come out of the seoson with a good record. Beating Arlington (the first time in six years!) proved to be the tcom's greotest foot, os Lor- raine Maxwell, scoring ace for the doy, led the teom on to victory. Ploying against Malden High in our own gym, the combination of fast ploy ond Alice Ferrocone's sharp shooting almost pulled the gome out of the fire; but time ran out ond the Red ond Blue lost. The ex- cellent guarding of Betty Zucco, Morie Indelicoto, Wol- da Corbett, ond Diane Antolini gave the teom another victory over Cambridge High and Latin. Playing forwards faithfully throughout the season we find Alice Ferro- conne, Lorraine Moxwell, Patricio Flohcrty, Eleno Ciono, and Ruth Ryder; the guards were Betty Zucco, Diane Antolini, Waldo Corbett, Georgia Indelicoto, and Marie Indelicoto. The first teom wos not the only busy bee in the hive of basketball. The second teom, composed of the talent- ed Jone Antolini, Beverly Maxwell, Josephine Grossio, Potricia Wilson, Deanna Bovernick, Georgette Morrison, Morion Price, Mary Pogono, Noncy Tyler, Marion Chap- roles, Evelyn Ells, Caryl Sullivan, Nancy LaPierre, Po- tricio McCormack, Joan Tossinori, Goil Clork, ond Mor- jorie Howe had a lively season. One hundred thirty-five How well do you bowl? No motter how high a score you moke, there is someone on the G.A.A. bowling squod who con top you! Every Monday of the school yeor the girls met ot the Highlond Bowl-o-Dromc on Highland Avenue. Eoch time there was an enthusiastic group ready and woiting for Miss Snell to give the signal to roll the bolls. Then, when the scores were tallied at the end of the session, S.H.S. found it hod onother girl who hit the 80 or 90 mark. Skill in bowling is not occidental. It takes practice ond potiencc to hit a consistent 85. Many bowlers hove had the patience ond the perseverance to be high scorers throughout the year. Jean Merlino, Notalie Morrissey, Diane Farullo, Antoinette Micco, ond Noncy Faye proved that with a little hard work it was really easy to main- tain a good overage. The strikes and spores column was also being filled week offer week by some member of the team.

Su Luumruna Hove we o Florence Chodwick or on Esther Williams in the house? Well, maybe not yet, but we certainly hove potentials! There ore ot leost eight or ten of the odvonced swimmers who could very eosily put some mermoids to shome! Responsive to the helpful cooching of their instructors Miss Daley and Miss McLaughlin, mony of the beginners odvonced considerably. But swimming ot the locol Y wos not all work and no ploy. When a group of S.H.S. girls step into a pool, there is always the challenge of Who con swim the most lops? And before the doy is over, the pace-setter is established. The crowl, the side stroke, the bockword crawl, ond mony other useful strokes, were developed during the course of the yeor ond every girl hod on opportunity to see eoch stroke obly demonstrated by cither Evelyn Ells or Polly Wetmore. As for life saving, there wos not o girl in the pool who did not trust her life to Barboro Sherburne, Marilyn Murphy, or Penny Chopin, the excellent life guords. When the time come for leaving the pool eoch Thurs- day, there wos usually o moon from the swimmers— they wanted to stoy longer. But, of course, oil good things con't lost forever. So, out of the pool, girls! Sec you in the 1960 Olympics.
