capped his performance with a ninety-seven yard run for the TD. Ed Stackelski saved Somerville from another shutout by scoring in the first half. Final score—Everett 50, Somerville 6. MALDEN Again a familiar rival whopped the Red and Blue, after a very close first half in which the only points scored were on an eleven-yard touchdown pass to Frank Crotty from Bob Taylor. The second half was the ruination of Somerville High. We did nothing right and they nothing wrong. Malden proceeded to score four touchdowns and six extra points, rolling over the Somerville line and winning 30-6. CROSS COUNTRY This year our cross country team is led by Junior Donald Portanova. Mr. Hegarty and Mr. Hrubi are the coaches of our team. BOSTON COLLEGE Somerville lost the first meet of the season to Boston College High by the score of 35-22.

ARLINGTON In the first game of the season Somervif was defeated by Arlington at Arlington Field. The final score was 18-6, in favor of Arling- ton. After a scoreless first period, Arlington came through with two touchdowns and led 12-0 at the half. At the beginning of the sec- ond half the Red and Blue scored on a 15-yd. touchdown pass from Bobby Taylor to Eddy Mackay. However, the boys from the hill couldn’t muster another touchdown while Ar- lington scored late in the final quarter. QUINCY After the first game defeat the Red and Blue came back with a 28 to 0 victory over Quincy at Quincy. Somerville’s Co-captain Herb Serpa scored the first touchdown late in the first period. This set the team on fire and in the second period Somerville scored again on an eight-yard run by Co-captain, quarterback, Bob Taylor; Serpa then ran for the two points after the TD. Again Somer- ville scored as Ed Stachelski romped eleven yards off-tackle. Somerville led 20 to 0 at the half! The second half was marked by Taylor’s 3-yard touchdown and his brilliant run around end for the two points. A late Quincy rally was squashed on the six-yard line when time ran out preserving our 28 to 0 triumph. MEDFORD Somerville, a heavy favorite against arch- rival Medford, just couldn’t get rolling. Med- ford scored twice during the first quarter while keeping the ball in their possession for almost the entire first period and controlling the better part of the second. Somerville’s first and only tally was early in the second half. The score was set up by a forty-seven-yard pass from Taylor to Mac- kay. Taylor then ran around end for the touchdown. The pass from Taylor to Mackey was completed for the two points. Medford came back with the final touchdown of the game. Medford won 20 to 8. A dismal day for the hometown fans. LAWRENCE But if the Medford game was disapi oint- ing to the Somerville fans the Lawrence game was doubly so. Although the score didn’t show the spirit and the fight our boys put in the game, it was truly a black day for Somerville High. Our boys didn't get any breaks. Lawrence didn’t score until late in the first half but followed with another quick score. They scored twice more in the second half while thwarting all of our efforts. Final score Lawrence 24. Somerville 0. CHELSEA On the day of the Chelsea game Mother Nature decided to play one of her most an- noying pranks and Boston received an early snowfall. Though the fall was slight it was decided to postpone the game until Novem- ber 18. EVERETT Facing another traditional rival, Everett, Somerville, hoping for an upset was unfor- givably disappointed by Everett half-back, Bob Leo, who personally accounted for six Everett touchdowns. Somerville seemed uiv able to get to this shifty runner who has been causing havoc throughout the league. Leo Nine

SENIOR CLASS CHATTER Greetings from room 254! We recently elected our room treasurers, Agnes Healy and Susanne Grassia. Here are a few thoughts to ponder: Why do you suppose Carol Rigazio was one of the first to get Pre-Driving? Why did the “eyewitnesses” Frank Cafarella. Bon- nie Tuccelli. and Robert Drinkwater, take a trip to the police station? And also, who hates to get up early in the morning and doesn’t? If anyone knows the answers to these ques- tions, please leave them at room 149: What do Mary O’Connor and Lorraine Rutkowski find so interesting during fourth period? Is Carol Frizzell always the first one to reach the lunch room ? Who’s this mysterious Larry M. that all the girls are crazy about? Why are Edda DiGiovini and John Cabral so quiet? Welcome to room 151 for another exciting and prosperous year. We are very proud to have that outstanding soloist, Maryelaina Altomare, as a member of our class. Ques- tions: What boy will claim that deep, mys- terious voice that is heard in 151? We are happy to report that once again room 151 will be 100' in banking. This is 247 signing in to say that our cozy senior classroom is very proud of its occu- pants, especially its new proctor Theodore (Teddy) Spinos and his assistant, Shirley Swett. Scattered throughout our population are those “muscle men,” Phil McAdam, Rob- ert Silver, and Armand Boyajian; that noted orator Evelyn Malven; that historic “ice cube” Nancy Mercer; and that cross-country alley-camper Carl Meola. Our representative and vice-president of the Art Club is viva- cious Sandra Tsei who, for some unknown reason, has developed a liking for “letters.” Susan Catharin, elected president of the F. N. A., can be counted among our noses along with Leonard Parker, a member of the foot- ball squad. Welcome to 141! We are proud to announce that we have as members of our class, Cap- tains Herbert Serpa and Robert Taylor of the football team. Another member of the team is Robert Hurynowicz. We have elected as class treasurers, Alice Doyon and Mary Ann Gelormini. Some of the kids in 141 would like to know who is the mysterious “Rubber Legs.” If you know, please let us know? We’ll report more about the talents and mysteries of our class in the next issue. A cheery bell from 251. As this our final year oi ens, we wish to extend a hearty wel- come to this year’s sophomores. Leading our happy group is Maurene Martin propped up by several pillows at the wheel of one of the Pre-driving cars. Says Maurene, “It’s easy. I know how to start and stop perfectly; I have a little trouble with the corners, but as soon as I learn to steer, I’ll be fine.” Pam Haskell isn’t too far behind . . . did you ever try going forward in reverse? Well, an in- tersection is drawing near and we must make a right turn. See you in the next issue. Welcome to 252, the “home of champions.” We have Eddie Harrington, Walter Ross, and Chucky Shepherd, three of our famous foot- ball players. Then we have that brilliant cap- tain of our basketball team. Jimmy Lally with Eddie Harrington who is also a basketball star. Next is Jimmy Quinn, the captain of our hockey team. Then we have Jackie Moun- Elevcn
