Our Hot Hoopsters The basketball team this year was sparked by several veterans. Led by our Co-captains, Roy Lefavour and Gerry Glynn, the Wakefield Warriors proved to be one of the strongest contenders in the Middlesex League. Starting out with victories over Danvers, Methuen, and Stoneham, the Wake- lield liive, under Coach Colucci, pushed after the leading teams. Kirk Moran and Louis Sardella could always be depended upon to put the ball into the basket, while our scrappy guards, Doug Schumann and Red Porter, made a time showing by keeping the opponents out of our territory. Phil Perrone and Dick Shea kept the team on the ball by their accurate passing. Although the inexperienced second team lost several games, it performed ad- mirably. With more games under their belts these players will be in fine trim for victory next year.

The Warriors, Trail Well, Forty-Niners, our pride in the Wakefield High School football squad has been justihed. They surely didn't need a team of oxen to pull them through this season. Our hrst win over Danvers, 38 to O, really started the wagon rolling. Then the Woburn palefaces caved in under our Warriors, I3 to 0, who were on the warpath. Suddenly came the upset of the season when Watertown was am- bushed, but not scalped, I2 to 6. The 7-6 decision of the Melrose game, in Mel- rose's favor, was somewhat discouraging as we knew how hard the Warriors played. Reading almost weakened, but tied, upon meeting up with our red hot squad. But the surprising game, which ended the season, was tied when the Gloucester Fish- ermen met up with W. H. S. A word of praise goes to Mike Roberto and Roy Lefavour, our co-captains, and also Coach Hacker Walsh. Coach Ceddia, Coach Colucci, and Coach Crompton, who invariably made our JD squad one to re- member. TH E SQUAD The Varsity Roy Lefavour.
