20 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY — - ALUMNI WSW SrWSWSSStSS The Alumni Association of Mary E. Wells High School was recently reorganized. The newly elected officers are Nestor Pontbriand, president; Marjorie Morong, vice-president; Robert Coderre, treasurer; and Dorothy Bartoli, secretary. At present they are sponsoring an intensive membership drive with a goal set at 1,000, under Clarence Miller as chairman. For the purpose of raising funds for scholarships and perhaps improving Alumni Field, the association in- tends to sponsor dances, such as the Victory Dance, and other activities in which the student body may take an interest. The Victory Dance, held Thanksgiving evening, proved tremendously successful. Gerald Bastien acted as chairman of this first dance to be sponsored by the Alumni Association.

DECEMBER, 1945 19 This game was a fine climax to a season that will always be remembered by both Wells and Bartlett fans. Our school was able to boast of a great team this year, thanks to the hard work of all the players capably directed by Coach Harry McMahon. GIRLS ' FIELD HOCKEY After four years of silence girls ' field hockey this year was reorganized. Miss Benoit, the new coach, was welcomed with a large number of girls who tried out. Finally eleven girls formed the team — green but promising. Positions of the Girls ' Field Hockey Team Center forward Pauline Proulx (Captain) Right Inner Betsy Lemmelin Left Inner Pat Boehm Right Half Back Helen Boucher Center Half Back Helen Pienta Left Half Back Lorraine Proulx Right Full Back Irene Mason Left Full Back Rita Duff Right Wing Aline Cuillemette Left Wing Charlotte Ryan Goalie Lorraine Langevin GAMES WELLS— MILLBURY— 6 The girls journeyed to Millbury for their first game. Although they played wholeheartedly, they lost the game. Betsy Lemmelin was the star of the Wells team this day. WELLS — 1 HOLDEN — 2 In the second game, when the girls played in Hol- den, their fighting efforts still did not win the game. The score was a close one, 2 to 1 . The single point was made by the fast-running Betsy Lemmelin who plays the position of right inner and does a swell job of it. Pat Boehm prevented Holden from mak- ing more than its two points. WELLS — 1 MILLBURY- The first home game of the girls ' field hockey was well attended; and even though our scrappy eleven lost with a score of 3 to 1 , they were cheered for their offensive action. Millbury gained its three points at the beginning of the game. Our one point was made by Pat Boehm in the last few m;nutes. Outstanding players of the day were Captain Pauline Proulx and Charlotte Ryan. All the other Wells girls played a good game. WELLS — HOLDEN — 1 The return game with Holden was the fourth and last contest of the season for the field hockey team. The girls put up a good fight; and although they did not gain any points, they saw that Holden did not get any further than its single score. The playing of both Betsy Lemmelin and Aline Cuillmette shone out the brightest this day. We all realize that our girls were inexperienced and were playing their first games. But we, the departing class of ' 46, including Captain Pauline Proulx, know the class of ' 47 and ' 48 is jam-packed with scrappy girls. The neA season of field hockey will be a victorious one! !
