Stoneham held a strong hut surprised Winchester eleven 6-o. , lso a Reading team, scheduled to defeat Stoneham, luckily managed to sc]ueeze out a 14-12 win in the rhanksgicing Day classic which will he replayed a hundred times over in the minds of spectators and players alike. The team was led by two graiul fellows : C ' o-Cap- tams (Tarlie McDermott and Frank Davarich. Men who played their last game for Stoneham were Test:, McKenna, Orsillo, .Murphy, Witndless, Picano. Preod- ian, Livingstone, and DWnnolfo. The cheerleaders composed of a peppy group of at- tractive and school-spirited girls led by Captain Beverly Hanson did an excellent job at leading the school cheer- ing section at the rallies and games. The student body, aroused by the original cheers, formations, and con- tagious enthusiasm of the cheerleaders, helped to cheer the teams on to do their best for S. H. S. FOOTBALL First Row: F.

This was made possible by the excellent coaching on tech- niques and strategic plays by Mrs. Lawson. The girls played vigorously all season. The top game was with Swampscott when S. H. S. defeated the North Shore team 2-0. Other scores were these: Winchester i Malden o Medford i Melrose i Swampscott o Stoneham o Stoneham o Stoneham 0 Stoneham 2 Stoneham i Although the Stoneham High School puck scramb lers failed to notch the initial win of the season, never theless. these proteges of Doc CJordon went far this season. The first line composed of Marty Manley, Dick Manley, and Milge McDermott, alternating with Chick D ' Annolfo, knew what to do with the little black disc when they got their sticks on it. This fast skating line was coupled with a first-grade defensive second line com posed of Frank O ' Grady, Red O ' Doherty, and Bill Wandless. They could really skate both ways. On de fense. Paul Norden and Charlie McDermott with goal- ies, Mitch Corbett and Bill Simkins, gave the Blue and White something to be proud of. Other seniors playing were Bob Murphy. Bob Johnson, and Herb Andrews. BOYS’ HOCKEY First Row: R. I)unb;ir. W. Simpkins, H. . ndrews. K. Leland Second Row: B. Xorden. t ' .. McDermott. W. Wandless, F. O ' Grady. R. Manlev. M. Manley, D.

They were full of enthusiasm and pep when the basketball tournament, the big event of the year, came around. It was a hard fought tournament, and the vic- tors had a close final game. The sophomores and jun- iors showed great sportsmanship, which the seniors greatly admired. The seniors will miss basketball, but they will always remember and admire Mrs. Lawson who coached them with skill and friendliness. As the basketball season got underway, Cioach Karl Elerin had to start from scratch. Having lost by gradu- ation all the varsity players, Coach Elerin managed to put together a small, inexperienced but aggressive team In league competition. Stoneham surprised most teams by playing hard, fast basketball. The team was cen- tered around versatile Oz Orsillo. Other seniors who did the playing were John Griffin. Jack Proodian, Harr Shurtleff, Paul Testa. Rob Swift. Rob Richardson, and Rill Anderson. ROYS’ RASKETRALL First Row: W. LaBombanl. E. Pinato. R. Leland. A. Fioncla Second Row ' : R. Richanlson. H.
