FOOTBALL— 1930 Using the number of games won and lost as a basis for judgment, W. H. S. football team of 1930 wa5 more success- ful than other teams of the past few years. Under the able tutelage of Coach Healey, Wakefield High won six games and lost four. The punting of Bob Hurley, the smashing game of Bob Curley, the steady plugging of the linemen, the gen- eralship of Franny Dinan, the pass-throwing of Bub Burbine, the hard-running of Sub Dulong, and the line plunging of Mugsy Mugford all gave the opposition plenty 01 cause for worry. The second team men performed work worthy of merit in the past season. They go out to the field every day and take a beating in order that the first team may be groomed for the gruelling game on Saturday. Many of these men on the second team could give a beat- ing as well as take one. Ask some first- team player about this. As to the future, prospects appear bright for Captain Dulong and his clan. A number of the squad of 1930, ex- perienced by this year ' s work, will be ready to swing into action in 1931. This year the letter men were as follows : Willard Atwell, Guarino Benedetto, Ignazio Bonfanti, Zenas Bliss, George Buckle, Daniel Burbine, Samuel Crosby, Richard Curley, Edward Dinan, Francis Dinan, Leon Dingle, Leon Dulong, John Findlay, John Haladay, Lewis Hatch, Robert Hurley, Loring Jordan, Paul Lazzaro, Frank Mugford, James O ' Keefe, Guy Pasqualino, Charles Richardson, and William Sparkes.

Dubois BASKETBALL: 1930-31 ' i ' his year Wakefield has had what may be considered a below par season as compared with the last two. The team won six out of fifteen games, all in the Middlesex League, a feat which netted us a tie for third place. Due to the fact that there were many new candidates for the team this year, and that we had lost eight of last year ' s letter men, the task of Coach Shellenberger was by no means easy. His untiring efforts in behalf of the team were evident at all times. This year. Coach Shellenberger organized a Freshman team which had a very stiff, eight-game schedule and com- pleted it with the enviable record of seven wins. The new plan affords much valuable experience to the younger play- ers and also allows the coach undivided attention to his varsity. This year ' s second team was likewise much in evidence. It was by far the class of its league, and this, with the Freshman team, makes the outlook for a successful season next year very promising. There are also many good pros- pects entering the Freshman class next year. Throughout the season the entire squad showed splen- did co-operation. Invaluable assistance was rendered by Managers Hovey and Dower. The graduating members of the 1931 squad wish Captain Comee and next year ' s team the best of luck for a champ- ionship season. The results of the first team games were as follows: Jesse Winslow, ' 31, Manager.
