A. , WEST WARWICK HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS With the opening of the school year in September, 1930, there was instituted a new system of Athletic Association Organization and Control in the Junior and Senior High School. The one Association is comprised of both schools, every pupil of which is a member. The council named Mr. John E. McCarthy, teacher of Physical Educa- tion at the Junior High School, as Director of all Athletics, whereas, Miss Mildred D. Taylor has charge of all girls athletic activities. Both of these instructors are graduates of West Warwick High School, and have special- ized in Physical Training work. The Council consists of School Committee Chairman, Mr. F. P. Lambg Superintendent John F. Deering, Principal Winfield C. Potterg Principal Algernon S. Gallup and the two directors. With the completion of the new West Warwick Recreation Field at Riverpoint, which should be ready for football in the fall of this year, and with the well-organized Athletic Association we now have, West Warwick High School stands among the best equipped in the State. 91

T w... I FOOTBALL REPORT Q The Football Team of the school year 1930-1931 was the most successful that has represented West Warwick High School for several years past. The Team, coached by Mr. John McCarthy and Mr. Raymond Northup, won the first football Victory in more than three years when it sent Com- mercial High School down to defeat by a 7-0 score on October 24 at the Cranston Recreation Field. The Eleven opened the schedule with an impressive exhibition at Fall River, holding the big Durfee team to a scoreless tie. Fall River and New Bedford papers described our Eleven as the best orange and black combination appearing here in four years. In the Interscholastic League, our team dropped very close decisions to Classical. Woonsocket and Hope Street High School, and proved very stiff opposition to the championship squad representing Cranston High School. Only two of the eight scheduled games were played on our home field, the Interlaken gridiron. Eugene Hebert, the Team's captain, who has played every minute of every game for three years, was named centre on the Providence Bulletinfs All-Interscholastic Team at the close of the season. It is a number of years since we have had one of our students so honored. Louis Tomasso, another of the graduating class, who has made history in athletics, was chosen on the second All-Star Eleven at the fullback position. Louie was the spark-plug of the Eleven and a tireless worker-may we have more like him in the years to come! Dick Barry, next year's captain, John Shepard and Russell Smith displayed some fine football playing dur- ing the hard schedule. Any squad losing men of the calibre of Hebert, Tomasso, Shepard, Archambault, Moskaluk and Smith is bound to suffer for a whileg but, several of the utility men of last season should be ready to step into the vacant positions. Lefty Duffy, Phil Eldridge, Malcolm Patterson, Edgar Richard, Warren'Terwilliger, Red Hopkins, Dick Keenan, Jerome Trott, Douglas Joubert and Arthur Lamoureux will be the veterans available for the 1931 season. 93
