The hantl members and the student body appreciate Vfr. Jordan’s skillful directing and outstanding talent as bandmaster. The 1948 edition of the Stoneham High baseball team under the capable leadership of Coach Doc Gordon, came through the season with an impressive record that will stand the team in good stead. With Co-Captain Jackie Proodian and Paul Norden sharing the pitching honors and Kenny Leland catching, Stoneham had one of the best all-around batteries in the league. The out- field was composed of the three senior lettermen: Co- Captain Frank Davarich in center field, John Rees in right, and Proodian (when he wasn’t tossing them up) in left.

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.
