As you, the Class of 1952, leave Gamaliel Bradford Senior High School my wish for all of you is that, profiting from the ideals established by this man for whom your school is named, you may find success and happiness in your chosen field, JOSEPH C. SPANG 6 continued growth in those character¬ istics which mark a well rounded personality, and a real appreciation of those qualities which make life worth living. Good luck and may God bless you all! 7 KATHERINE BRONSON aa G ' i ' U ' sS ' Aiss pet nett. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Mr. Stimson, Mr. Goodridge, Mr. Etmekjian MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Mr. Moulton, Mr. Lundgren 8 In those days as today, the heart of the school system was the teachers, and as I look back, it seems to me that the teachers then, as now, were one of the most loyal, devoted, faithful, much enduring classes in the community. We do not half enough appreciate what we owe to teachers: they have the making of America in their hands, and they give their very best.” —From Early Days in W ellesley by Gamaliel Bradford PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Mr. Hines 9 Front Row : C.

The Wellesleyan This year’s Wellesleyan represents much thought and careful planning in order to insure the senior class of one of the finest yearbooks ever published for Wellesley High School. For the first time in the history of the book, the editors-in-chief and the editors of the various departments were chosen in the spring of their junior year. This venture was started so as to give the on-coming senior class a chance at what we called appren¬ ticeship and to help them get off to a head start in their senior year. These junior apprentices worked right along with the various staffs and in so doing learned the techniques that go into the making of a good yearbook. One of the main projects to be accomplished by this group of apprentices was the complete planning of the 1952 Wellesleyan before the close of school in 1951. When the junior year had come to a close the members of that class who had tried out for the editorships were voted upon. Their names were announced on the last day of school. This year we chose two capable students, Betty Ann McCurdy and John Leyon as co¬ editors-in-chief. Under their guidance and with the excellent direction of Miss Palmer this year ' s book progressed rapidly. Because our three years at Wellesley High have been so memorable and rewarding, the editors-in-chief and the department editors hope that your yearbook represents com¬ pletely all these events and that it will continue to do so for many years to come. 10 PHILIP DERICK President RICHARD BATTS Vice-President CONSTANCE AKESON Secretary SENIOR SECTION DONALD MILLS Treasurer CONSTANCE AKESON Connie . . .

It ' s the original Henry Aldrich play by Clifford Goldsmith, but of course you know that, since you’re such a play enthusiast. Per¬ haps you ' d like me to review the story for you. Henry Aldrich, our escapading hero, gets in all sorts of trouble with the ill-humored principal of Central High in his effort to get money for tickets to take Barbara Pearson to the Spring Prom. The disap¬ pearance of school musical instruments, and the eventual capture of the guilty party adds to the ex¬ citement. But wait, the curtain’s going up. Oh, look at the faculty members. There’s stern Miss Eggleston, fluttery little Miss Wheeler and Miss Pike, who’s always chilly. Doesn’t Henry’s mother look upset? I guess with a son like hers she often has reason to exclaim What a Life. N ' ViHWit k • • • A Y V- ficffwTi va Law LJilViest rtost Dependable- First Row: P. Derick, C. Akeson, A. Merwin, J.

Senior Council Mr. Bradford, we’d like to have you meet our Senior Council, the backbone of our class. During the year these senior class officers and senior members of the Student Council have been meeting to plan our class activities, under the guidance of Mr. Spang. We seniors realize what a great deal we owe to the Council for giving us the very best senior assembly, class picnic, and graduation ever. Yes, Mr. Bradford, these are the people who worked behind the scenes to make our senior year successful. Our thanks to them for their untiring effort, which brought to all of us such rewarding results. 46 ACTIVITIES . J Barnett, G- Richardson, B. — -- . _ p. Johnston, A- MerWm ’ ' MoUer , M.

Student Council Passing along the second floor during X period Wednesday, Mr. Bradford, you will find in Room 216, a group of hardworking students, members of the Student Council. This organization, acting upon the suggestions of both student body and faculty, is the guiding force of the school. They take pride in trying to make wise decisions and in sponsoring activities which they feel will be well received. Earlier in the year you would have seen a chairman from each home¬ room elected to the Council along with the president and vice-president of each class and two members-at-large elected by each class to balance the number of girls and boys on the Council. As you can well imagine, Mr. Bradford, there are numerous activities that the Council undertakes throughout the year. The sopho¬ mores, strangers in our midst at first, had the consolation of knowing that the Icebreaker was being planned to acquaint them with the other classes. Later in the year, the Football Dance and the sports rallies provided enjoyment for the student body. You must not think, Mr. Bradford, that our Council does nothing but plan entertainment. On the serious side, by sponsoring such proj¬ ects as the Red Cross, Community Fund, March of Dimes, and Crusade for Freedom, our Council creates greater interest in the school among the adult members of the community and develops a greater sense of responsibility toward our town among our student body. We think, Mr. Bradford, that the Council has maintained its commendable reputation with its capable President, John Barnett, the other officers, and its able sponsor, Miss Bronson. 48 Assembly Committee Well, Mr. Bradford, here we are in the Auditorium on a Friday morning. I wonder what the Assembly will be today? Have you heard about some of the programs we have had this year? Many were purely for entertainment; others were for education and information. The committee, which Miss Walton leads, invited Mr. Curry and Mr. Darling to bring their programs to us again. We ll never forget the technique and sense of humor displayed by Ken Davidson, who con¬ ducted the badminton demonstration. The Dramatic Club, the Choir, and other school organizations have presented assemblies, and as we have heard, the Band plays its marches at the beginning and end. The Seniors especially, but of course the Undergraduates, too, will never forget the impressive National Honor Society, Award and Senior As¬ semblies. These programs are a tradition of the school. The willing hands and imaginative ideas of the committee members have helped make this year’s programs very successful. First Row: M. Collina B. Greco, L. Manning, E. Nevins, L. Walsh, D. Potier, B.

[=]V l BRADFORD Eg] The Bradford Well, Mr. Bradford, here’s our newspaper — another of your namesakes. We’re especially proud of The Bradford this year. You see, our three senior editors, Sally Nesbit, Louise Thurber, and Barbara Pullen launched a successful campaign this year to make The Bradford better than ever. The paper got a thorough overhauling; deadwood” and filler” material was cut out and replaced by really fine articles, such as those by Weking Schroeder and Karen Moller. Cartoon work by Draper Hill appeared in and enhanced almost every issue. Old columns were replaced under newer, more original headings, and every issue contained some new feature by the editors. Each Bradford was a chapter in the school year, packed with sports, feature articles, close-ups of various activities, school news and the people who made it. Yes, Mr. Bradford, we seniors are leaving Wellesley High a newspaper with a high standard—one that’s really better than ever.” 50 DRAMATIC CLUB First Row: J. Walker, E. Keating, P. Gintz, P.

Don’t let those strange noises from the auditorium worry you. It’s only some of the rising stars of the newly-formed Chameleons rehearsing their latest venture. The Dramatic Club, due to the earnest work of interested students, is on its way to becoming one of the most active groups in Wellesley High School. The members have been busy every minute of the year, and are always engaged in new activities. The club held monthly meetings at which varying entertainments were given. Movies, followed by panel discussions, and plays presented both by club members and by visiting drama schools were enjoyed by everyone. Special workshops were also conducted. The club produced two assemblies for the school, and in Decem¬ ber, in cooperation with the Choir, presented a beautiful Christmas pageant. Some members also participated in a radio drama presented in November. February gave the townspeople of Wellesley a chance to see the Chameleons in action. One of these plays was entered in the Massachusetts Drama Festival, which proved to be a thrilling experience for everyone. As the curtain descends on the 52 Chameleons there is an air of accomplishment and pride about them, signifying a job well done. 51 r P Wegerdt. F. Schultz. J. Mitchell. J. J« Firs , Row. R. Gatton.

Under guidance of the Sponsor, Miss Bronson, there has appeared, throughout the school year, a svstem of weeks which has kept the information in the displays up to date. Education Week has been interestingly represented with posters showing the bond between a school course and a career. The worthy Crusade for Freedom Week was strikingly brought to the school’s eye. Well accounted for was the Christmas Season with charming display. The sports, in appropriate seasons, have been vigorously portrayed. You must appreciate all the effort contributed by the members of the committee to the bulletin boards’ success. They have worked hard as is evidenced by the results. 52 Service Club The stunning scenery and posters you must have observed, Mr. Bradford, around the school are a result, to a great extent, of the diligent effort of the Service Club. Organized under the capable direction of Mr. Simone, the club has been devoted to rendering assistance to as many as possible of the activities around the school. Mr. Bradford, you just can ' t ha ve missed noticing the definitely effec¬ tive scenery which adorned the production of What A Life.” The publicity afforded by the professional-looking posters no doubt con¬ tributed to the attendance at the play. And did you see the striking posters that proclaimed the Senior Prom, not to mention the Junior Prom? You certainly are able to say the Service Club efforts have been fruitful and its contributions great in effecting the success of many school activities. First Row: D. Beutel, M. Woodruff, H.

It is the football season, and Mr. Bradford is attending the game again as he so often did in life, but is he looking at the football team? No! He is watching the Wellesley High School Band parading around the field in its colorful uniforms. He investigates the band further and finds out that it has also performed extremely well in a joint concert with the Natick Band. And when he learns that the band participates in the All State Festival in Middleboro and at football and basketball rallies, he is convinced of its value to the school. As Mr. Bradford hears the last roll of the drums, he chalks up another vote for excellence in performance and starts off to inspect the Orchestra. Orchestra If Mr. Bradford were to visit the auditorium on X” Periods Monday and Friday, he would see the Orchestra vigorously practicing for assemblies under the direction of Mr. Leach. He would discover that this preparation was being made for the Christmas and Thanks¬ giving programs, for music at the P. T. S. A. and the Senior Play, and for the graduation exercises to be held in June. He might learn that many of the members were practicing to enter the Massachusetts State Festival in February and the New England Music Festival in March. I’m sure that if he should see all this activity, he would realize what a busy organization the orchestra is. ORCHESTRA First Row: C. Brickett, W. Winnier, M. A. Bauer, J. Henry, M. Andress, P.

Choir During X period, Mr. Bradford, wandering perchance along the second floor corridor in the vicinity of 201, is more likely than not to stop in and listen to the God given voices of our Choir. If you listen hard you will undoubtedly hear the soprano voices of Sheila Geary, Eunice Nevins and Louise Tedoldi, who have rendered so much assistance to the performance of the Choir. This active organization, under the direction of Mr. Riggs, presented two colorful events: a Thanksgiving Assembly and a Christmas Assembly. Selected members of the Choir participated in many out-of-town events such as the all- state chorus in Framingham, the Southeastern Festival and the annual New England Festival. A new project, which we hope you will see annually, is the Wellesley Spring Festival. As X period concludes, you will certainly agree that Choir practice has been a worthwhile means of promoting activities en- joyably to all in our school. 56 National Honor Society First Row: B.

As you have probably noticed, Mr. Bradford, all of the preceding activities afforded pleasurable relief from studies. However, the Na¬ tional Honor Society gives pleasure in a different manner. In order to be a member, one must rank high in scholarship, character, service, and leadership. Scholastically, the student must rank in the upper third of his class; in extra-curricular activities and in all his associations with his fellow students and teachers, he must demonstrate to a high degree the qualities of leadership, service, and character. He also must be a mem¬ ber of the school for one full year before he can be elected to member¬ ship in the society. Each year not more than five per cent of the Junior Class who best meet these requirements may be made provisional members, subject to con¬ firmation in their senior year. The total number elected in the Senior year, including the confirmed members, must not exceed fifteen per cent of the Senior Class. When these students are given their pins and certificates by Mr. Moulton in an assembly, a sense of real pride for a job well done comes upon students and faculty alike; for this is an honor that the student will carry with him for the rest of his life. 57 From the nether regions 58 Stripping for action Hmmm!

At center is Billy Kearns; digging in beside him are Alton Noyes and Paul Paltrineri at guard. Playing at the tackle position, we have Bion Francis and Joe Grignaffini, and at the ends, Skip Campbell and Bob Woods. The peppy backfield is made up of George Kilmain, Rus¬ sell Gleason, Gerry Mullin, Paul Russo, and A1 Tiberi. The Raiders are lined up to receive, and there goes the whistle! Its a high end-over-end kick taken by Gerry Mullin, who zig-zags his way up to the forty-five yard line. The team goes back into a huddle. Kearns is out over the ball, snaps it back to Gleason, who hands it off to Russo for five yards off guard. This Wellesley team looked pretty good on that play, but they’ll have to keep it up to win over their hard-fighting opponents. Kearns over the ball again, back to Kilmain who fades to pass. It’s a beautiful pass to Campbell on the 15, down to the 10, the 5—and it ' s a touchdown! Well, fans, there certainly has been a lot of action in the first few minutes of the game, and if I’m not mistaken, it will be nip-and-tuck all the way. Yes sir, this is some game!

Cheerleaders W-E-L-L-E-S-L-E-Y. Team! Team! Team! Look at those cheerleaders in their red and white sweaters and skirts. Have you ever been to a game without seeing those peppy girls out there leading us with cheers and victory songs? They’re really a wonderful squad. Sue Palmer — she’s the tall, blonde one — leads them, and Ann Meiklejohn, Judy Miller, and Ann Woodley are the other three Senior mem¬ bers. Junior and Sophomore classes are well represented by Ann O’Neil, Carol Brickett, Rosalie Lupo, Betsey Adams, and Joanne Mar¬ chetti. It’s always a treat to see them laughing and shouting with us in the more promising mo¬ ments of each game; and they are the first to become downcast when things go wrong. Next year’s cheerleaders, even without the terrific support of our Seniors, are expected to be fully as good, and we know how grateful we’ll be to the class of ’53 for keeping up the support of our school.

What’s that coming down the field right now? They’re all dressed in red uniforms, and the three girls in front of them are in white. Who’s the pretty brunette leading them all? Oh, that’s the Twirling Corps and Drum Majorettes! Of course, I’ve heard so much about them. That must be Marcie Govoni leading, and Jane Merrill, Janet Gallerani, and Ann Calzini following her up. You say there are thirteen girls in the corps? They certainly do keep in step, almost like the Rockettes. It surely makes you feel proud to be from Wellesley when you see those girls twirling and marching, wearing our school colors so proudly and deservedly. Wish everyone could have seen them this year; they were really a credit. Next year they’ll be just as good though — come see them. Twirling Corps First Row: S. Geary, C. Bennet, H. Johnson, F.. A.

Field Hockey We find ourselves watching a group of en¬ thusiastic girls playing the well-known sport of the fall. There are many veterans and they are being aided this year by the new Sopho¬ mores, who seem to have a lot on the ball. The game is about to start. Ginny Graves is taking the bully in the center. The team is moving with great speed down the field. Sheila Geary and Lois Snyder are doing very well today in passing the ball. Oh, look what has happened! The other team has taken the ball. Ellen Childs, our captain, is running in hopes of getting the ball back. She is successful and Betty Ann McCurdy is now moving in full swing down the field. Ginny Graves now has the ball, and she is driving for a goal. Will it go in? Let’s hope so. It does and we lead 1-0. There is little chance of the other team’s get¬ ting a goal because our able goalie, Judy Hight, has been doing a splendid job. Gail Murphy has been showing her stuff today by keeping the ball on our side of the field. Wait, there are only a few minutes left. There goes the whistle, and Wellesley comes out on top again.

Here come the mainstay of our balance: Gerry Parnin, Dave Chapin, and Charlie Reynolds. Bob Hogarty and Dave Pulling are holding the important sixth and seventh positions. Although they are not yet up in the scoring, Phil Reynolds, Jack Hendrickson, and Phil Wilkin¬ son will be up there next year. With a combination like this, it’s easy to see why the team, with Mr. Chapman’s coaching, won eight meets while dropping only two. 69 BASKETBALL TEAM First Row: R. Batts, P. Zigler, H. Prater, G.

The boys got off to a slow start, but they surely are roaring back in the second half. Coach George Kerivan must have really given them an inspiring pep talk. I’ve never seen the Red Raiders play such a great game. The whole team is fighting. Gigi Kilmain steals the ball from a fast opponent, dribbles down the court, and passes off to Ziggie, who scores with his deadly jump shot. Seconds later, as the team works the ball down the floor, Alton Noyes passes in to Slim Barnett, who swishes with his one hand set shot from the corner. As the opposing team takes a long shot which rebounds off to the left, Billy Kearns grabs it and passes to Bama, who is wide-open for a lay-up. Following Mr. Kerivan s practice of running on a fresh squad each period, we see Dick Batts, Phil McCurdy, Phil Derick, Eddie Primevara, and Maurie Balboni take the floor to finish the game. First string or second, it makes no difference. The gym at game time is no place for a person with high blood pressure. First Row: J. Jolly, R. Oullet, B. Kinlin, R. Larson, T. Wilde, R. Lindholm, T. Lee, D. Roberts. Second Row: D. Dow, D. Chapin, R. Gallerani, W. McLea, W. Evans, P. Johnston, W. Webster, E. Madden, R. Woods, G. Mier, R. Murray, P. Wilde, M. Williams. Co-Captains Roberts and Kinlin Ice Hockey It is Saturday morning, and as I walk toward the hockey rink, a biting wind cuts through me. I can plainly see that today is the perfect day to play hockey. On the far end of the rink I see Dick Lindholm and Russ Larson, back on defense, with Tom Wilde guarding the goal. As the Wellesley forwards carry the puck down towards the opposite goal, the opposing team closes in on the puck carrier, Bruce Kinlin. Don Roberts and Larry Street soon rush to the rescue, receiving a pass which quickly sets them up for a Wellesley goal. With the game proceeding a while, I soon see a fresh line of forwards, composed of Dick Oullet, Tom Lee, and Bob Woods, come onto the ice. With this fresh line, I watch the scrimmage continue through the better part of the morning, giving the full squad a good workout. About noon Coach Bud Hines blows his whistle to end the game. Everyone certainly looks worn out. showing that hockey takes plenty of endurance, being one of the fastest games known. As the squad took off their skates and moved toward the locker room they told me of the tough schedule they had to face this year with their fellow Bay State League teams. Those games would be hard work, but would a fellow play hockey if he didn’t like a hard contest? 72 ICE CAPETTES? First Row: R. Baker, P. Wicks, R. Cremoni, P. Rutledge, R. Kilmain. Second Row: C. Stahleker, P. Paltrinari, J. Grignaffini, F. Bourque, P. Johnston, G. Rams- land, C. Keefe. Third Row: D. Hill, V. Schroeder, J. Sanderson, D. Campbell, W. Ramsland, L. Tiberi, Coach Stergios. Walking past the bicycle room, we hear the grunts and groans of the wrestlers, battling to improve their techniques. The wrestling team has added many newcomers to the squad in Bobby Baker, Phil Johnston, Freddy Bourque, Paul Paltrineri, and ' Weking Schroeder, the German exchange student, whose long blond hair makes him resemble Gorgeous George. Peering around the corner of the bicycle room, we see Doc Stergios, the outstanding coach of the wrestling team, demonstrating holds to vet¬ erans Joe Grignaffini, Bob Kilmain, Red Cre¬ moni, and Paul Rutledge. In the clutch, Joe Grignaffini and Phil Johnston have turned in many good matches to help the team overpower most of their opponents. First Row: E. Child, J. Dick, A. Merrill, E. McCartney, D. Webster, A. Sommers, C. Stickles, A. Merwin, C. Bennett, S. Palmer, G. Murphy, V. Graves, G. Richardson, A. Woodley, J. Merrill, S. Willey, E. Leyon, J. Steeves, E. McBurney, M. Irish, J. Marchetti, C. Street, A. Montapoli. Center: Miss Park. What a sight to see twenty-four girls, under the eyes of Miss Park, practicing free shots and lay-ups from all sides. A few more turns each and they’ll be ready for a practice game. The whistle blows, and the ball is soon in the hands of the three pinney” forwards, who in this game are Cynnie Bennett, Ginny Graves, and Dia ne Webster. But wait a minute! They’ve got Ellen Child, Arlene Sommers, and Ann Merwin close on their heels, and the ball goes across the line to the white team. Watch those quick passes! The ball goes from Gail Richard¬ son to Carol Stickle—and there’s a beautiful set-shot by Ann Woodley. But the pinney” guards, Gail Murphy, Sue Palmer, and Joan Steeves, are determined, and they soon send the ball back to their forwards. Keep up the good work, girls! You can’t help winning with all your enthusiasm and teamwork. Girls’ Basketball First Row: D. Pulling, P. Dowd, T. Jedrzejewicz, Mr. Chapman. Second Row: R. Bauer, F. Bourque, A. Tiberi, G. Parnin, W. Noonan. Third Row: R. Hahn, J. Lcyon, R. Ho.qarty. Indoor Track Watching those fellows running in this indoor meet makes you stop and think how much this sport of running means to them. There is no official indoor track team, and they have no track. The boys have to practice in the lower corridor of the school, where the conditions are anything but ideal. These fellows enter some of the bigger open meets, such as the State Meet and Northeastern Meet. You just saw A1 Tiberi in the fifty-yard dash. There’s Tom Jedreze- jewicz ready to start in the 300.” It should be quite a ”600” with Phil Dowd and John Leyon battling right down to the wire. There’s Dick Bauer, captain of the cross country team, and Dave Pulling lining up with him for the gruelling thousand-yard run. Now come the boys who are really out for punish¬ ment: Co-captains Will Noonan and Gerry Parnin of the spring track team, and Bob Hogarty, to try to make their marks in the mile. When it comes to spirit and determination, these boys are champions’ champions. 76 Gym Team The Wellesley High Gym Team is swinging into action under the guidance of Coach Steeves and Coach Hines. Welles¬ ley has many veterans returning to the world of gymnastics as well as many sophomores who may well be the stars to come. From giant-swings to front Hips to very difficult mounts and dismounts, the boys practice day in and day out; for in¬ stance, on this particular day we see Tom Lee over on the high bar executing with great speed several knee-circles with a very daring back fly-away dismount, followed by Harlan MacKenzie doing a giant-swing, the most difficult stunt on the highbar. In the other corner of the gym Jerry Mullin and Russell Larson are working with great skill and daringness on the parallel bars, doing hand stands and whirl-aways, respectively. On the mats Allen Balsbaugh is performing with ease head-snaps, the length of the gym, followed by Russell Gleason doing front-flips. In the center of the gym Fred Tiberi is using his superior strength and ability on the side horse. The boys work hard to be in the best of condition and ready to perform in the Annual Gym Show. Besides this gym show, some of the boys will go to Springfield College and participate in the Annual New England Gymnastic Tournament. It is be¬ lieved that this years team should be counted as one of the best ever. First Row: T. Lee, R. Larson, S. Enroth, T. Parker, P. Roberts, J. McNelis, A. lalsbau h, A. Tiberi, B. Montarelli. Second Row: W. McLea, P. Dowd, W. Miller, G. Ramsland, D. Campbell, J. Dunne, M. Motta, T. Dolan, E. Hendrickson, T. Jedrzejewicz, J. Hall. Third Row: Mr. Hines, R. Gleason, T. Campbell, E.

Second Row: Mr. Goodnough, G. Mier, J. Bolles, P. Cooke, R. Woods, A. Noyes, E. Primevara. Baseball The roar of the crowd has brought us hurrying to the baseball field, where Skip Campbell has just drilled a liner to the right. Streaking towards second, he nearly hookslides into the bag. This exemplifies the driving brand of ball which always stands out in Hal” Goodnough’s brand of coaching. The hard¬ hitting squad has a murderers row all its own. Lead- off man Ducky Roberts starts the fireworks, followed by Primevara, Woods, Campbell, Noyes and Gall¬ erani. These sluggers combine excellently with strong pitching and good fielding. Two pitchers who need mentioning are Bob Sweeney, a second Bob Feller, and Charlie Reynolds, who has shown the poise of a veteran while on the mound. The team is count¬ ing heavily on their strong arms. With all this depth, it doesn’t take too much observation to prove that this is a championship ball club. 78 First Row: E. Brown, A. Paltrineri, S. Thompson, A. Merrill, A. Calzini, B. Verner. Second Row: E. Chutter, L. Gorham, N. Brown. Softball Get her out, Cal! One more strike and we’ll be upstairs! This is a terrific game, isn’t it? You know, we’ve had a wonderful season this year, with Nat catching, Cal pitching and Vern hitting home runs. Anne Merrill and her throw¬ ing arm, and Shelby’s fielding all contribute to our victorious team. Remember those games with Braintree, Hing- ham, and Concord, and the exciting game with Natick? They were all just like this one! Keep her on base, Audrey! Another strike and they’ll be beaten. That’s it. We won again! Any team with the good sportsmanship, eager members, and enthusiastic teamwork that ours has, will surely come out in the win column. I’ll have to come to that game next week. That’s going to be the best one yet. Good work, girls. You’re a wonderful team, and a credit to our school. 79 Xk ' kZ AtkkW k e 0 ' � . ‘ V t e V Wt e .- ° e v° VVV V Mr. Goodridge P. Lambro W.

Practicing on the putting green are Jim Fay and Dave Walker. These ambitious and eager aspirants are in the midst of qualifying for the first six places on the Wellesley High Golf Team. The squad, made up of five vet¬ erans from last year and headed by co-captains Chuck Tinkham and Paul Wegerdt, bids fair to keep Wel¬ lesley in the fight for top honors in the league. Coach Steeves watched the boys tee off on the first and the fifth, as he looked forward to Framing¬ ham, Marlboro, and other competitors in the Bay State League. The boys also had their sights set on the State High School Tournament at the end of the season, with the two lowest scorers representing each school. Yes, Wellesley golf is on the upgrade. 81 First Row: R. Shanklin, W. Noonan, J. Leyon, G. Parnin, R. Bauer, P. Dowd. Second Row: L. Smith, T. Jedrzejewicz, R. Hogarty, R. Severson, R. Hahn, D. Pulling, I. Doveburd, K. Keefe, Mr. Chapman. Spring Track Let’s look in on one of our home meets and see how this Wellesley track team is upholding its reputation as a state power under the guidance of Coach Ray Chapman. The sprinters are crouched for the start. Bob Hahn ? who has been carrying off the dash honors, scores easily again. In the high jump, the good form of Louie Regan, Phil Dowd, and Wally Miller enable them to score against all comers. We now take our places away from the flying sand and watch our broad jumping team of Dick Bauer and Louie Regan piling up valuable points; and there are Phil Dowd, John Leyon, Tom Jedrzejewicz, and Bob Severson, all fighting to win in the quarter mile. Again out in front in the half-mile is the smooth-striding Dick Bauer. Meanwhile, excelling in the shot put is Wellesleys ace, Dick Lindholm. Our co-captains. Will Noonan and Gerry Parnin, set a fine example for competitive spirit in the last event, the mile. Boy, what a meet! 82 THANKS TO SPONSORS The Yearbook wishes to ex¬ press its most sincere thanks to the following sponsors for giving much needed financial assistance.
