Foxboro and Wrentham. Now for the players — Anne Tumonis with 203 points and Captain Hazel Burns with 109. led the offensive drive through- out the season. Irene Tirelis, Louise Wereska, and Bronie Wasilewich starred at guard berths, as did Leah Kell, who jumped center.

A word about the Coach. r Iiss Isabel Murphy undertook the difificult task of setting up our Basketball team. She is a Stoughton girl and member of the fac- ulty. Here ' s to the future Basketball teams you produce, ]Miss Murphy. The Class of 1935 wishes vou success. FOOTBALL This year ' s team went through a suc- cessful season, losing only one game, which was to an out-of-state team, Nashua, X. H. There were also three scoreless ties, one of these with Canton on Thanksgiving. There were also scoreless ties with Newburyport and Braintree. They defeated six opponents by large scores. In the course of the season, Stough- ton scored 144 points to their opponents ' 39 points. Next year, the prospects are not so good. The majority of the team will graduate this year. Coach Burke, with the aid of Captain Goward, hopes to build up a winning team. Letters were awarded to the follow- ing : Captain Radvilas, Bettoney, Sima- navich. Leahy, Pappas, Pentz, Tirelis, Dibbern, Meahy, Goward, Katzlowsky, Scioscia, Rafalko, Carrara, Hanson, and Bisbee. BASKETBALL The Basketball team also had a suc- cessful season, taking it on the chin twice from Abington and also North- eastern University Freshmen. The game with the Northeastern Freshmen was a heart-breaker, losing by one point after a last-minute spurt by their opponents. Twelve other games which they played in, knocked over their opponents by large scores. They again acquired the Hockamock Championship by winning ten consecu- tive games. If next year ' s team comes through and wins the championship, the cup will be left in Stoughton ' s cabinet permanently, but the chances are very small for this year ' s team was practical- ly all Seniors. In the South Shore tournament, Stoughton was defeated by Abington in the semi-finals. Abington also defeated Whitman in the finals. Stripinis was elected captain for the coming year.

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.

STOUGHTON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL With the start of the season, Stough- ton looked forward to a very successful season, for practically the whole team of last year came back. In the first game, they easily took Fox- boro 8-4, taking it easy most of the way. The next victim was Brunswick, Maine. They came down here with quite a repu- tation but went back with a 10-5 defeat pinned upon them. Stoughton ' s traditional enemy, Can- ton, was next defeated. They were shut out 18-0. Their only hit was a very scratchy one in the eighth inning. Stoughton lost their first game when they went up to Nashua, N. H., and were defeated 10-5. The Stoughton pitchers were hit hard and often by the New Hampshire boys. In a runaway game, Stoughton easily walked over Braintree to the tune of 17-2. Randolph was beaten 19-2, very little opposition being provided by Randolph. By an eighth inning spurt, Stoughton just managed to come up and defeat Oliver Ames 4-3. Aren ' t you ashamed to ask for mon- ey? Well, I got six months for taking it without asking. A fountain pen when nearly empty usually spills what little it has in stock. Something like the human head. — Frosh. Charles Mc : Could you tell me how 1 can get green paint off my hands? J. Lisko : Have you tried selling it at a reduced rate?
