THE SEMAPHORE May 14 — Tuesday : Poor Seniors had an hour and a half History test after school for the medal. Seniors told to doll up for their class pictures, tomorrow. Hope they bring a few extra cameras. May 15 — ' ednesday : Seniors, Semaphore StafY, and the Baseball team had their pictures taken. No one will recognize Bonda — with the help of steps and bread-boards he ' s grown a little. Some of us heard the birdy as well as saw it. May 16 — Thursday: Jackson ' s going ritzy — brought his gal home from the circus in a taxi ; may- be it was because they lost the train. Dancing, 7th period. May 17— Friday: So our dear History teacher is going to write a book : Funnyboners of Stoughton High School . There ' s plen- ty of material, anyway. Second floor bulletin mobbed by Seniors looking to see which committee they are on. May 20 — Monday : Something new — Juniors were pre- sented their rings in assembly. That ' s the only thing they have on the Seniors — looks as if they won ' t get stuck on their rings. May 21 — Tuesday: Everyone trotting around with proj- ects for the exhibition. ' onder how many accidentally forgot to bring their invitations home? (The teachers might talk.) Boys slipping — they only beat Foxl)oro 12-1. ] Iay 22 — Wednesday : Pity us poor Seniors — the essay is get- ting on our nerves. Everyone is worrv- ing about giving it graduation night — and only two will have to. May 23— Thursday : At last, the great exhibition. The best thing was the stewed rat. Wonder what would happen if a Freshman had been used? Our heroes just beat Canton. May 2-1 — Friday: Funny how anxious everyone is to help take down the exhibition. Sema- phore Staff pictures taken over — may- be it will come out this time — half the staff isn ' t in it. Stock girls mobbed during recess.

Boys had a hard bat- tle ith Canton, but finallv edged ahead, 18-5. May 3 — Friday : Senior Class meeting — more argu- ments. Students cars must park toward the brook — maybe if they left them in the driveway the teachers would look too prosperous. Girls had a lady law pro- fessor talk to them — good stufT. Every- body went to see the dear school teacher immortalized. May 6 — Monday : Semaphore staff held a very important meeting, but it would be telling secrets to say what it was about. Anybody caught nonchalantly dropping papers outdoors had better look out — the grounds are going to be clean. English classes are staggering under the extra load of spelling words.

THE ONLY UNDEFEATED HIGH SCHOOL TEAM GIRLS ' HOCKEY Canton : Walpole ; Canton 0 — Stoughton 0 Canton 0 — Stoughton 1 Walpole 1 — Stoughton 1 Walpole 0 — Stoughton 2 Hanover : Hanover 0 — Stoughton 5 Braintree : Braintree 0 — Stoughton 1 Braintree 0 — Stoughton 1 What a team and what a season ! In all truthfulness, it is the first hockey team to finish with a record void of de- feats. With a coml)ination of plucky, hard-working, and ever-ready youngsters such as these. Miss Maylott certainly formed an A-1 team. Much credit for this undefeated season must be given the valuable work per- formed by the SENIORS, who showed great skill, accuracy, and dependability. These Seniors are : Anne Tumonis — the lively, skillful, energetic center halfback, who drove that ball with plenty of force into the strong hands of Louise Wereska. Louise manipulated the ball by dribbling it and then passing it cleverly to speedy Jean- ette Dunkerly. Jeanette carried the ball, made many goals and the attempts which failed were immediately banged through the goal by the accurate wing — Marie Chapman. All in all, the offensive, progressive, advancing work of this successful Hockey team was carried on by the clever plays of these four mem- bers of the class of 1935. I think I can quote the Coach in say- ing that the remainder of the team hopes to carry on as well next season and to strive to follow their clever, reliable ex- amples in playing the intricate game of Field Hockey. Miss Maylott : To you also must we give praise. Your leadership was ever- present and always in there . Your departing Seniors, together with the rest of the Class of 1935, wish you Success in the near future in producing many more undefeated Hockey teams.

Miss Murphy, your reporter thinks Stoughton ' s basket- ball lassies deserve commendation. Dur- ing the year, they perfected the new 2- court game and learned to like playing like the boys play . All through the season, the girls found little trouble in piling up big scores against their opposition, with the ex- ception of the Sharon High Girls.
