FOOTBALL—1943 Weston High’s ’43 team started its season with one of the lighest and most inexperienced squads that it has had in many years. With the enlistment of Coach John Proctor into the Navy, this year’s team also had a new coach, Charles Law, from Melrose. He did a grand job with the squad that he had; may he have plenty of luck next year. Of last year’s first team there was only one veteran, Captain George Wheeler, who, at the end of the season, received honorable mention from two of Boston’s leading papers. Private Joe Shee¬ han remained honorary captain after his induction into the Army. Privates Phil Sheehan, Bud Hanney, Snapper Malloy, and Craig Clive were also lost to the Army. The sum total of the ex¬ perience of these players would have added more strength and weight to the team. The outstanding game of the year was with Concord High. Weston, the underdog, rose to great heights and tied a strong Concord team. Foxboro 13 Chelmsford 34 Weston 7 Weston 12 Weston 7 Weston 0 Cambridge 6 Natick J.

SPORTS As the last bell rings, we, the graduating class of 1944, go marching up for our diplomas and then on out into a different life. With us will go memories of our school days: our first prom, first dance, little tea parties, and the games in which we played. It’s a great honor to know that we have represented our school on the football field, the hockey field, the basketball court, at track meets, and on the tennis court. It is there that we learned to take hard knocks and still come up with a smile; it is there that we learned teamwork. Ten years from now we may have forgotten that we ever played on any athletic team, but the lessons we learned on the playing field will al¬ ways be with us. Uy.ummp ... , ■ .

GIRLS’ HOCKEY Because of the difficulties of transportation, the girls’ hockey team was able to play only three games this year. Beryl Enholm, a girl who has been playing hockey since the eighth grade, was chosen captain. She certainly proved to be very capable in the capacity of captain as well as player. Barbara Kings¬ bury was elected as manager and did an excellent job in arranging our games, considering the prob¬ lems of transportation. After many hard weeks of practice, Miss Smith’s courageous eleven met their opponent, May¬ nard, in a tie game of 3 to 3. Goals were made by Dolly Clark and Beryl Enholm. At a return game at Maynard we defeated our rivals with a score of 2 to 0. Goals were made by Beryl Enholm and Ginny Stevens. Our last game was played at Cambridge, where we lost 3 to 1. The goal was made by Ginny Stevens. We seniors—Beryl Enholm, Ginny Stevens, and Mary Koon—wish next year’s team the best of luck. We shall always remember the game we played at a certain field, where, after many spills in mud puddles, we came home victorious.
