28 STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK HOCKEY TEAM First Row: McLaughlin, Bingham, Huff, Donaghey, Gray, Conley, Russell, Rush. Second Row: Burns, Tole, McEttrick, Truesdale, Leach, Coach Gordon. ICE HOCKEY The Stoneham High hockey team started the season with but four veterans, but before the season was over the opposing teams realized that their opponents were not lacking in fight and the ability to get what they desired. For a team that finished in third place and landed three members on the first team All Scho- lastic and several others on the second All-Star team, one must feel full of pride. Among these who were All-Scholastic are Bud Donaghey, who was captain of the team; Bob Gray, shifty center; Bob Bingham, defenceman who with Bill McLaughlin will captain next year’s team; Jimmie Huff, fast wing, and Joe Conley, reserve center. Others on the 1938 squad were Dick Rush, John Russell, Brad Leach, Bill Truesdale, Bill Plummer, Junior Downes. John Tole, Doug Sur- rette, Bud Dodge, Jig Mahoney, John Judge, Ralph Bruce, David Jenkins, Art Rich, Russ Gardner, and John Landers.

FIELD HOCKEY The field hockey squad, captained by Ruth Bowser, met its greatest rival, Melrose, in a scoreless tie in the first game of the season. The second was still more disappointing when the Stoneham girls were surprised by a Wilmington victory of 2-1. Under the guidance of two able coaches, Miss Ruth Finn and Mrs. Vera Lawson, the team finished the remainder of the season victoriously. The plucky eleven came through with the total of one defeat, one tie, and three victories. Under the excellent leadership of Captain-elect Margaret Girard, next year’s team should have an even more successful season. The season’s summary: Melrose 0 — Stoneham 0 Wilmington 2 — Stoneham 1 Stoneham 1 — Wakefield 0 Stoneham 1 —Medford 0 Stoneham 2 — Reading 0

STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 29 BASKETBALL First Row: Candage, Tucker, O ' Toole Mooradian, Asci. Second Row: Barwood, Corthell, Smith, Chase, Coach Elerin. BASKETBALL Pursued by the demon hard luck, the local basket netters had a poor season. In about six or seven of their thirteen games Coach Elerin’s boys came within one or two points of clinching a victory and in one other case it was the ignor- ance of the fans that cost them a victory. Their victories came over champion Winches- ter and Woburn outfits, the former of which was a most surprising one to all. The basketeers were led by co-captains Solon Candage and Henry Ward. Other first stringers who will be in play next year are John Moora- dian, Sarge. O ' Toole, Jimmie Tucker, Nio Ming- hella, and Tony Asci. Next year there will again be co-captains leading the team this time, we’re pretty sure, on to victory. They will be John Mooradian and William O’Toole.
