GRADUATION NUMBER EDITORIALS RETROSPECT Looking back over Stoneham High School’s sports of the past year, one is struck by the fact that victories have been scarcer than ever before. To the casual observer this would seem to in- dicate that the standard of our sports has fallen. This is far from the truth, j however. The truth is that we have | been greatly handicapped by the gradu- ‘ ation of the two senior classes of last year. This is made evident, not only in athletics, but in other phases of school life also. Our football team was probably hurt by this more than any other team, with the possible exception of basketball. At the beginning of the season last Sep- tember there were only three or four men available who had had any pre- vious experience. The rest of the mate- rial was not only green, but very light, i On top of all this they were up against a schedule which inight well , have caused a much better team to have ' an unsuccessful season. The members of this year’s football team certainly | deserve a great deal of credit for stick- ing with the team throughout the sea- son.. I Our cross country team was not quite so badly off as were their football , brethren, and the team had a fairly sue- , cessful season, winning a good ijercen- ; tage of its runs. | The hockey team repriesented the school well on the ice and kept itself : well to the front in hockey circles. ; The team fell just one game short of getting into the round robin, and that j game was lost through a break. 1 Basketball looked almost helpless at i the beginning of the season, owing to the lack of material. With only two j letter men left from the previous year, ! the outlook was rather bad, but Coach Eaton succeeded in hammering a team into shape which humbled our greatest basketball rival, Reading. The team didn’t win any too many games, but it had “the old fight.” The gym team had a successful sea- son this year. They put on a number of exhibitions at various gyms and as a climax to the season they engaged in an official meet with Norwood High and decisively defeated them, thus win- ning, technically, at least, the title of State Championship, and making S. H. S. known as a pioneer in what is a com- paratively new field of sport. Baseball looked al)out as hopeless as the other sports with only two letter men as a nucleus upon which to build a team. A club was organized, however, which was as good as any that S. H. S. has had for some time. It is probable that baseball, as well as the other sports will have a brighter outlook next year since the teams will have a larger num- ber of veterans. While victories have been rather scarce this year, our athletics have not been unsuccessful. Ever.y team which Stoneham High School has put forth this year has had the old fighting spirit and “never say die” attitude of S. H. S. teams of former years. After all, victory is not the main point to be look- ed for in athletics, but rather more par- ticipation. This year our athletics have drawn out a large number of candi- dates, practically every boy being active in some sport, either class or varsity. In addition to this we can say with pride that our school has generously supoorted its teams. The one fact which stands out above all others is the fact that Stoneham High School sports have always been clean, and that its teams have always had a reputation for good sportsman- ship, both at home and away, not only this year, but in past years.
