OCTOBER 1035 17 THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION One of the most active of the town ' s organ- izations - is the Wells High School Alumni Association whose present membership of one hundred and fifty is steadily increasing. Probably the most important of its activities is the purchase of the Hamilton Field for the use of the high school. To celebrate this pur- chase, the Association will give a semi-formal dance at the Town Hall on November 8. Members also hope to present a three-act play some time in December. This play should be supported by members of the school because of the Association ' s kindness in presenting the school with Hamilton Field. Officers of the organization are: President, Nestor Pontbriand; First Vice-President, Philip Colognesi; Second Vice-President, Rita Earls; Recording Secretary, Beatrice Girard; Corresponding Secretary, Romeo Dumais; and Treasurer, Nellie Misiaszek. During the summer alumni spirit seems to have increased. An Alumni Association has been formed, and several class reunions have taken place. 1900 Wardwell Edwards a.nd Clarence Morse were hosts to fourteen members of the class of 1900 at a reunion and clambake September 11. The affair was held at Mr. Morse ' s farm on the old Mashapaug Road. The Class Prophecy, which was written by Mrs. Marion Chase Rouette, was read by Mrs. Harriet Hemenway who was president of the class. 1910-1911 The classes of 1909 and 1910 held a supper party reunion on September 7 at Intervale Manor, Dudley. Mr. Corbin, our former super- intendent, served as Toastmaster. Among the guests were two of their former teachers: Mrs. Allen Shepard and Miss Alice Puffer. The committee in charge included: Mrs. Ernest Hall, Gertrude Flood Johnson, Eugenie Tetrault Roy, Louise Corbin, Walter Chase, and D. Purcell Bernheim. 1933 The class of 1933 held a successful class re- union dance at the Country Club July 12 which was attended by about fifty couples. The guests included: Mr. and Mrs. Greene, Mr. and Mrs. Corbin, Mr. and Mrs, Austin, and Miss Fitzgerald. The officers of the class, John Tobia, Fran- ces Redhead, Rudolph Leduc, and Philippina DeAngelis, were in charge of the affair. Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Her- man Marcy (Pauline Thompson ' 31), proud parents of a baby boy. Miss Maximilienne Tetrault, class of 1903, has returned from abroad where she received a doctor of philosophy degree at Sorbonne University. Miss Tetrault has also received two other degrees, Bachelor of Art and Master of Art, from Boston University. In addition to studying at the University, Miss Tetrault has been successfully teaching English at Lycee Longchamps.

OCTOBER 1935 19 The first is Co-Captain Ted Farland, a dandy triple-threat back who is one of the finest all- around backfield men in the county; Ted will also call signals from his left halfback position. The second is Co-Captain Mario De Angelis who played great ball last season. Mario, the roving center, is a strong defensive player and is scrappy, one who keeps the rest of the club wide awake every minute. The third play- er has behind him already a two-year record, — Archie Champagne is one of the best guards ever to wear the Crimson and Gray. He is a fighter and is equally good at both offensive and defensive football. Many of the other candidates were reserves last year. At left end is Lionel Proulx ; Proulx starts the reason with some experience from last year. At left tackle is Bernard Hefner, the baseball catcher who is playing his first season of football. At right guard is Robert Michon, headed unquestionably for a big sea- son. At right tackle is Bud Hobson, a big six- footer. At right end George Constantino will bear watching, for he seems to do everything right. At quarterback is another rookie, Louis Seremet. Seremet blocks well and is a fighter all the way. At right-half is Norbert Lango who has a wealth of natural ability and is big and rugged. What can stop him? At fullback is another husky, Cleo Brodeur who with a little experience should start to go places! WELLS 13 NORTHBRIDGE 6 With less than three minutes remaining of the final period, Norbert Lango, fleet-footed right halfback, raced 15 yards around left end to give AYells a hard fought victory. It was the opening game for both teams and Wells faced an alert, well-coached array who put up a great fight before going down to defeat. Well- scored on the fourth play of the game. Farland brought back the kick-off 20 yards. Farland raced 40 yards around right end on the second play. Lango picked up 8 yards through light tackle and then a nice pass, Farland to Lango, scored the touchdown. Northbridge scored later on a pass and up till the last 3 minutes of the final period the score was deadlocked 6-6. The break came when Mario De Angelis, Wells center, blocked a kick. Lango recovered and a few minutes later scored the winning points. Farland place-kicked the point. Farland played a wonderful game, being the best player on the field. He was pressed for honors by De An- gelis who played his usual slam-bang type of football. He Couldn ' t Believe His Eyes! An enthusiastic Athol rooter brought a bugle with him to the game Satur- day, intending to blow it when his team scored. He was discreet enough to wait until Athol tallied the first time before he blurted it ; but several times afterward, with Athol trailing, he got excited when it looked as if his team would score, and brayed on his trumpet, only to have his team stop- ped. This, of course, drew so many jeers from the Wells crowd that the faithful but human follower became discouraged. When Athol finally did go over in the last quarter, he neglect- ed to toot, apparently overcome by surprise. Edward Hobson ' 36 WELLS 27 ATHOL 12 Wells opened the home season with an im- pressive 27-12 win over a big Athol team. Playing Athol for the first time, the Wellsmen scored first in the last part of the first period. Taking a kick on the Athol 40 yard line, Farland brought it back to the 20. A line play gained a yard; a pass was incomplete and then Lango smashed his way over left tackle for a touchdown. Farland place-kick- ed tin 1 extra point. Wells added two more points when De Angelis blocked a kick and an Athol man fell on it in the end zone. Wells scored again in the last part of this period when Farland made 10 yards on an end run. Lango picked up 9 through right tackle, and Brodeur smashed over for the touchdown. Wells scored again, when Lango tossed a pass
