ATHLETICS . SENIORS . ABERJONA . 1947 Foreword We, as youth in school, realize that to secure the better World We hope to build, We must maintain the ideals of justice, honor, courtesy, and selffcontrol. We have come to realize the deep signifi' cance of these qualities during our years at Winchester High School, and We pledge ourselves to the upholding of these ideals for which our Alma Mater stands. Winchester High has also aroused in us a love of knowledge and of learning. lt has brought us much good fun and good companionship. Here we have made friendships Which, We are confident, will never die. ln this, the nineteenth issue of the ABERJONA, we have attempted to portray the events both large and small which make the life of our school. These are the experiences which lead us, the youth of Winchester High School, to high thinking and high ideals. ABERJONA . 1947 MR. BEMRAM A. Amino Dedication Since 1926, Mr. Albro has taught Latin at Winchester High School. Indeed, he has taught not only Latin, buf also patience, kindness, and tolerance. There is an intangible quality about Mr. Albro which makes him a teacher liked and long remembered. We hope that he will remember us as we know that we shall ever remember him, his agile mind, his humor, and his thoughtfulness. To Mr. Bertram A. Albro, in sincere appreciation of his twenty'one years of inspiring teaching at Winchester High School, we dedicate this ABERJQNA of nineteen hundred and forty-seven. 6 ABERJONA . 1947 Aolministmuon . .

Nomus, En.D., SUPERINTENISENT Administrators The tall, smiling man you have undoubtedly seen in the halls of Winchester High School is Dr. Forbes Norris, our Superintendent. He is a well-known figure to all of us because of the interest and enthusiasm he has shown for all our various activities. We sincerely appreciate the fine job he has done during the two years we have known him as Superintendent. Perhaps more distant from our school lives is the School Committee, which, however, plays a most important part in overseeing the high school. The present members of the School Committee are Mr. Hazen Ayer, Mr. Neil H. Borden, Chairman, Mrs. Christine Greene, Mr. Richard Rush, Mr. William Spears, and Mrs. Lyman Smith. The member of the Administrative Staff with whom we are most familiar is, of course, Mr. Wade L. Grindle, our principal. In this, his first full year after returning from the Army, we have come to know Mr. Grindle as a sincere friend who is interested in each and every student. We shall all remember him not only for his personal interest in us, but for the invaluable aid he has given us in choosing schools and vocations for the future. WADE L.

VViNsi,ow Faculty During our four years in high school we are guided, taught, scolded, and amused by the faculty. We are indeed fortunate to have such teachers as we have, for their influence is greater than we sometimes realize. ln the Wadleigh Building, the green and eager freshmen are met by Mr. Winslow, principal, Miss Bailey, who intro' duces them to The Ancient Mariner and Julius Caesar , Miss Carmichael, instructor in the mysteries of Latin participles and inhnitivesg Mr. Weafer, Miss Foley, and Mr. Seferian. As sophomores, a good deal less green and eager, Winchester High School students delight in the vagaries of Mr. Hayward - CCall to mind the window shades?D , Mr. Rodgers, Mr. Albro -- omnia gallia Jivisa est, ctr., Miss Knowlton, unforgettable, indefatigable francaise, Miss Hall, Miss Bennett, Mr. Cooper, Miss Crockett, Mr. Curtis, and Mr. Reed. By the beginning of their junior year, all traces of greenness and eagerness gone, Winchester High School students have really settled down. That year, perhaps, they become acquainted with Mr. Stevens. Who will ever forget To be or not to be . . fl? They meet the headfman of the Mathematics Department, Mr. Butters, and spend time in the company of exponents and parabolas. If they study French, they encounter Miss Mackedon, who never, never lets anyone forget his books without paying. They are introduced to the wonders of chemistry under Miss Peabody, or the mystery man, Dr. Alley. They also appreciate Mr. Kotkov, Miss Skornik, and the other faculty members who help them to pull through their junior year. As seniors, Winchester High School students tackle one or two new subjects, the most important of which is, perhaps, history, Few will forget Mrs. Stacy's sage teachings. How could they? They view new horizons in literature under Mr. Keeney's understanding guidance and discover Burns, Tennyson, Keats, and Shelley. Under Miss Bronson's guidance, some become more deft at pounding those typewriters and writing shorthand. During all four years, everyone is helped immeasurably by our Guidance Director, Mr. Nash. Everyone is truly grateful, too, to Miss Livingstone, who patiently rules the Library, and to Miss Cvoodrich, Supervisor of Art. Many work with Miss Niven, Mr. Branley, or Mr. Leary. And, of course, everyone knows Coach Knowlton, Mrs. Matthews, and that debonair basketball coach and instructor of geography and bookkeeping, Mr. Bartlett. We hope the members ofthe faculty realize the dee appreciation we students feel for the many hours they give to extracurricular activities - to mention just a liwt Mr. Hay' ward m A. A. and the Vauclevilleg Mr. Kotkov - the Class Play, Miss Mackedon - the Red Cross, Mr. Cooper 4 Student Council, Miss Crockett ref' the ABERIIONA, and many others. Thanks to all the faculty for a great many kindnesses.

Switzer, President The Peoples Choice The freshman class has really set a record this year, respondin to the Red Cross and other drives with high enthusiasm. The freshman boys have shown great promise in basietball, football and other sports, and the girls show promise in athletics and dramatics. The class has developed a spirit of unity and has a capable group of class oihcers. The sophomore class, graduating from Wadleigh, threw itself wholeheartedly into the whirl of events in the main building. Participating in the Dramatic Club programs and the Vaudeville Show, the sophomores helped to make both the finest we've had in years. In the s orts world we have many candidates for Iirst'team letters next year. In spite of their many social activities, tliie sophomore class has also proved its worth in the classrooms. The junior'Senior Class Play this year found many juniors taking leading roles. The juniors have made a record in sports with such fine football players as Sammy Bellino and Alan Switzer. jean Munson, Norma Bergquist, Marguerite Derro, and Ann Albree have been wonderful cheerleaders, full of pep and vitality. The junior class has also taken over the Red and Black in capable fashion. A Q SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS .T. CoIe,President5 Rallo, Secretary D. Miller, Treasurerg P.

Halm Lawmakers The Student Council, by virtue of those it includes, is the most truly representative organization in Winchester High School. Homerroom representatives, club representatives, class presidents - virtually every organization in the school is a part of this organization. Because of a late start, the Student Council, headed by President Francis Powers, ably assisted by Peggy Holmes as vice-president, Dorothy 0'Connell as secretary, and Mario Buzzotta as treasurer, did not hold its first meeting until November. Several important programs, however, were sponsored by the Council this year. Foremost among these was Vocation Day. This project was the result of the work of the Winchester High School Guidance Department aided by the Student Council. A selected committee of Student Council members helped to carry out many of the details necessary to the smooth running of this important conference. Next on the list is the Aberjona Club. An organization created to recognize and reward our student leaders in extracurricular activities and our highfranking scholars, the Aberjona Club was once again sponsored by the Student Council. A new honor society in our school is the National Honor Society. Introduced with the aid of the Student Council, this society will doubtless prove an honor and an incentive to those students who are admitted as members. Honor study halls, an experiment whereby student monitors rather than teachers supervise the study hall, received Student Council attention this year. It is to be hoped Winchester High School will realize the importance of honor study halls and continue them. The Student Council is one ofthe most useful organizations in the school, for it gives the students experience in self-government. i4 ABERJONA . 1947 First Row: Read, S. Holmes, B. Gaffney, L.

Blanchard Scholarship, Leadership, Qharacter The Aberjona Chapter of the National Honor Society was begun only this year, being established after a vote of approval by the seniors and after much discussion by the seniors and the Student Council. The members were not selected until after the midfterm examinations. Membership is based on four qualifications: service, character, leadership, and scholarship. This year it was possible only to establish the groundwork of the organi' zationg it is hoped, now that the foundations are laid, that the chapter will go forward successfully under the leadership of its two sponsors, Miss Bronson and Mr. Keeney. The officers for this term are President, Dean Blanchardg Vice'President, Marnee Norris, and Secretary'Treasurer, Barbara johnson. The aim of the chapter is to raise to higher levels the standards of student life at Winchester High by increasing the interest in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. It is planned that the National Honor Society shall gradually absorb the Aberjona Club because of the distinct advantages of the national organization over the local organization. The Society drew up a constitution, which was approved by the national headquarters in Washington, and which helped to lay the foundations of the new activity. The only dues Were those necessary to cover the initial costs. The National Honor Society takes the place of the Cum Laude Society, which was discontinued during the war years, and it gives to the student entering high school a higher inspiration to do good Work. As an inspiration tc better citizenship, the Honor Society is helpful to the community of Winchester as well. ABERJONA . 1947 is First Row: D. Smith, M. Seaton, R. Borden, D. O'Connell, C.

Moore Those Who Serve To recognize such extracurricular activities as athletics, clubs, publications, assemblies, and vaudeville, the Aberjona Society was organized in 1943 as a non-active honorary society. This society recognizes the fact that high school should offer opportunity to develop interests and hobbies as well as provide education. To determine membership a point system is used and thirty points are necessary for eligibility. The members of the society receive maroon and white emblems inscribed with an Indian head and Aberjona Society, Winchester High School. The awards are made before the entire school during an assembly held early in the spring. This year the senior class voted to establish a chapter of the Na tional Honor Society in the Winchester High School. After the chapter has been fully established, the Aberjona Society will gradually be absorbed into it, although all of its members will not be eligible for the National Honor Society. The membership of the Aberjona Society this year is twentyffour. Out of the senior class, Libby Fenno joined in her sophomore year, Barbara johnson, Mary Seaton, Rosanne Borden, and Eddie Hicks joined in their unior year. Ned Moore is the only member of the junior class eligible this year. 16 ABERJONA . 1947 First Roux. Monson, C. Smith, Blackham, A. Grace . Second Row: R. Young, D. Smith, D. Goss, M. Buzzotta, E.

Fuller, McLaughlin Keep to the Gkighr Can you imagine trying to get from one class to another during the brief three'minute recess provided if the chaos that is always threatening to break out on stairways and in halls weren't suppressed by our everdiligent Traffic Squad? With eight hundred students pouring out of rooms all at once, you can see how congested traHic conditions would become if we didn't have a regulating body, this year under the efficient management of Ed Hicks. The Squad's members provide an invaluable service to the school. This corps keeps traffic moving smoothly, enabling the student to reach his destination in as short a time as possible, it also helps to prevent accidents that might otherwise be caused by the more energetic people of our ranks. The only problem beyond the .Squad's control is that of relieving the congestion at the lockers. Many of us, being caught in one of those typical 2:35 rushes, feel like the proverbial sardine when it's all over. This is a problem to be handed on to next year's chief. The success of the efforts of the Traflic Squad depends on the co'operation of the student body, which, by the way, has been very good this year. The practice of permitting unregimented passing seems to be working with a minimum of disorder. The new method of ringinga sevenfminute bell has extended the duties of the traffic officer. A member of the Squad who has a free period stays until this third bell rings, to supervise those coming from the Wadleigh Building and junior High School. There has been no organized squad in the halls of Wadleigh this year 3 however, several students are on patrol outside the building to keep the grounds in order. An efficient trafhc system leads to an efficient school body. Let's keep up the good work! ABERJONA - 1947 17 First Row: B. Michelsen, B. Chase, A. Harris, S. Sorokin, P. Millett, P. Reading, R.

Dattilo 55555 Once again this diligent corps of workers under the capable leadership of Mrs. Stacy has made its Way through a successful year of banking in which the high school has never once dropped below a 98 per cent record. Each Tuesday morning Room 13 is made the center of activity, there the Secretary, Barbara johnson, Assistant Libby Fenno, and their efficient staff receive the individual reports of the home'room bankers aiid totl the numerous columns of figures which go to make up our banking record for that week. During this time President Dave Smith roams around the main building, a watchful eye out for trouble in the machinery, while Vice'President Bob Eckburg and his Assistant, Roger Swanson, are keeping tabs on progress down at Wadleigh. Yes, it is a busy period for these oihcers and a time which comes every Tuesday of every week! By the high percentage records of each week, we can see that the students are forming a habit of banking regularly while in high school. It is hoped that this habit has been so well formed that in later life the adult will continue to foster the banking habit, even though it won't be so easy to maintain as under theprescribed system of school days. is ABERJONA . 1947 P, First Row: S.

Patterson ive! The junior Red Cross, under the capable leadership of Miss Mackedon and President Scott Doub, has completed one of its most successful years.. With the continual aid of numerous volunteer homefroom repre' sentatives, the drives which were planned by the officers and executive board - Elmira Baldacci, Roger Creel' man, treasurer, Scott Doub, president, Scotty Wallace, vicefpresidentg Ellen Hight, secretary, Sally Holmes, production chairman, Cwerry Maggiog lim McLaughlin, Robert Morris, Nancy 0,Rourkeg Joe Santo - Were successfully carried out. The Red Cross got oil' to a very good start with the membership drive of the school. In this First drive the school attained one hundred per cent membership, and oversubscribed the drive by sixty dollars, which was put into the treasury vvhere it was kept as a working fund. The second drive of the year Was for clothing. ln this drive enough old clothing was brought in by the students to fill nine clothing bags. A new idea was started this year: a box was placed in each home-room, and every home'room member Was asked to ut at least a penny eachwveek into the box. The money which was thus collected was used to buy radios and radio- phonographs, which were sent to hospitals for veterans. With the beginning of Winter came the gift box drive, and also the Christmas card drive. The number of cards We hoped to collect, which was five hundred, was doubled, a grand total of over one thousand being collected in the school. At the end of November a call Was sent out for volunteer Workers to help fold the Christmas Seal letters, A large group responded to the call, and the work Was completed in practically record time. Before the Christmas vacation rolled around , yarn was given out to people who volunteered to knit squares for afghans. When this drive, under the excellent leadership of Sally Holmes, came to a close it was found that enough s uares had been knitted to make three afghans. With spring on its way, the junior Red Cross made plans for iluee more drives: one for 150 ash trays, one for 100 A uzzles, and one for 25 filled ditty bags. Before the work for the year was com leted, Mr. Leary promised that liis classes would make three dozen cribbage boards, and two dozen card boards, and Miss Goodrich romised 25 bookmarks, 25 Braille bookcovers, and 10 portfolios from her classes. With the completion of tgese final drives, the Junior Red Cross brought to a close a most successful year. ABERJONA - 1947 19 f Y l First Row: K. Michienzi, M. Principe, B. Fitzgerald, A. Hodge, A.

Under the leadership of President Dottie O'Connell, and successfully guided by Miss Livingstone, the Library Club got off to a good start last fall with a turnout of over twentyffive enthusiastic members. Very active in the Club's undertakings were Vice'President Anna Mauillari, Secretary Dotty Kelly, and Treasurer Kay Michienzi. Each member of the Club willingly gave up one study period each week for one quarter of the school year to help with the great amount of work to be done in the library. The main jobs of these students were to file cards, return books to the shelves and keep them in order, help to repair the old books, and prepare and classify the new ones. The members are always ready to help out at the desk when needed to check books in and out. This year the Club made quite a profit by collecting lost books and charging for them. This money will be spent in the interest of the whole school. Two new magazine subscriptions were added this year, and many new, popular books were purchased. The accomplishments of the Club members throughout the year are proof of the great interest and training the Library Club offers. 20 ABERJONA . 1947 First Row: P. Burke, E. Kaknes, A. O'Brien, M.

This is the first year that there has been a language club in Winchester High, and the Spanish Club has set an excellent example for others to follow. Joseph Santo was elected the Club's first president g Roger Swanson, vicefpresidentg and Anne Harris, secretaryftreasurer. The Spanish Club is the only club in which membership is purely honorary. The members are students who receive an A' or Bfaverage in Spanish. They only may vote and attend business meetings, but anyone in the school may attend the other meetings of the Club. The Spanish Club has had three meetings this year. At two of the meetings, interesting movies were shown on South America. On the evening of February 20, the Spanish Club had an initiation supper for its members at the Masonic Hall. The two guest speakers were students from Puerto Rico who are now studying in Boston. One of the Puerto Ricans, studying at the New England Conservatory of Music, played some South American music which was enjoyed immensely.

Capably managed by its President, Connie Zimmerman, Secretary, Norma Neff, and Treasurer, Ida Stafieri, the Club met six times a month and attended the art displays sponsored by the town library, The planning board, made up of Esther Grr and Barry Grace, provided an active program including outdoor sketching contests and trips to places of interest. The Art Club has become a definite asset to the school and has aroused the interest of many nonfartists, as well as of the more talented club members themselves, The main purpose of this Club is to develop enjoyment of the many phases of art and to increase appreciation of the work of the famous artists. The Art Club participated in many projects other than those of the regular meetingsg Christmas cards were made by the members, who also helped to publicize school events such as the vaudeville show and the class play, by contributing original posters. A group trip to the Gardner Museum was particularly interesting since Miss Goodrich had discussed the main points of interest beforehand. Une of the highlights of the year was an outdoor sketching trip to Symmes's barn on which the club members were accompanied by Forest Qrr, the water colorist. Mr. Grr helped the club members greatly in choosing composition and colors correctly. After a talk on Finger painting by joan Haskell, this new subject was undertaken with enthusiasm. Often during the year examples of the various types of art were dis' played in the school bulletin board, which furthered interest in art among the students. 22 ABERjONAg- 1947 First Row: Holdsworth, E.

Sorokin fjlflath Wizards This year, once again, Mr. Butters issued his annual appeal to all ablefbodied figure jugglersf' The fact that Room 21 was bulging at the seams during that first meeting bears mute testimony tht mathematics appeals to others besides the scholar. Mathematics can be fun, and this is precisely what the Math Club is endeavoring to prove. Under the able leadership of Charlie Watson, President, Charlie Enright, Secretary, and Mr. Butters, the faculty adviser, the Math Club has had a very successful year, holding four meetings and a contest. Once again the Club sponsored a Sophomore Geometric Original Contest. After a close race, the field was Whittled down to four competitors: Connie Smith, Ruth Morse, Robert Oxford, and Richard Cleary. In the final contest it was nip and tuck,', until finally, after a tie between Ruth Morse and Robert Oxford, Ruth Morse won. Enthusiasm and rivalry to get it right first run high. These energetic mathematicians are never satisfied to leave a problem hanging in midfair. Often a meeting will run well into overtime, and nobody, except perhaps Mr. O'Donnell, complains. It seems that there is no end to the variety of Math problems possible, judging from the way these eagerbeavers pull them out of their hats, the triclcier the better. Plans are already under Way for the last meeting, which is to be held in the evening and promises to be a gala affair. Keep your eye on the Math Club. We're looking for even bigger and better things next year. ABERJONA . 1947 23 First Row: B. Chase, B. Morton,-I. Fritch, M. L. Flynn, L. Bartlett, D. Symmes, M. Chase, M. A. Coulson, D.

Since the members of the freshman class are ineligible for membership in our senior Math Club, a group of these up and coming citizens got together with Mr. Weafer and formed the Freshman Math Club. President, Barbara Michelseng Vice-President, Peter Millettg Secretary, Sally Morgan 3 Treasurer, Richard Joslin, and Program Director, Doris Casey, under the guiding hand of Mr. Weafer, as faculty adviser, proceeded to install the Club as a regular fixture in Winchester High School. The purpose of this Club is twofold: one, to form a taste for math, and two, to get away from the regular mathematics course. This Club, unlike most of our organizations, meets at least once a month, and presents little trick problems for its members to solve. The members divide into four teams and stage their own private contests, the winners receiving, usually, a box of candy for each member of the winning team. Well worth the effort and brain strain, vve'd say. These freshmen have started something really valuable, let's hope next year's class can keep up the good work already begun. 24 ABERJONA . 1947- First Row: R. Bunten, M. Norris, S. Luitwieler, E.

Livingston, Williams icrohe Hunters . With the many new scientific inventions and developments brought on by the War, science has grown to be one of the most important subjects of the present day. But don't let this faze you, the Science Club is not made up of future Einsteins - though there may be one or two hidden among us - but of fairly normal human beings who get a thrill out of experimenting with the unknown. Each meeting has been turned over to an officer of the Club in charge of getting a program ready. The officers for the Science Club are as follows: President, Klaus Halmg Vice-President, Charles Enwrightg Treasurer, james Mathewson, and Secretary, Barbara Howe. The Executive Board, chosen to help the president in planning and carrying out the meetings, consists of Ted Barrett, Libby Moses, Marjorie Norris, Edward Shaw, and Peter Sorokin. The Club has been ably supervised by Doctor Alley and is much indebted to him for assistance and helpful suggestions. One of the most interesting experi' ments of the year was presented by James Mathewson, whoishowed the exothermic reaction between zinc and sulfur, and who also gave a demonstration of the highly ex losive property of ammonium iodide. At another meeting Ted Barrett showed how power can be transmitted, through air by using a Tesal. Ted showed that a fluorescent tube can be lighted by power transmitted through three people holding hands. An evening meeting was held at the home of the secretary, .Barbara Howe, and there the Club was shown an elaborate setfup of electric trains. The Club was also introduced to Slinky, a narrow flat coil of steel that can walk downstairs, along with other feats. The members of the Club were told of various lectures to be given at Massachusetts Institute of Technology that would be of interest to high school students. There are many Club members who have taken advantage of the opportunity to attend these lectures. ABERJONA . 1947 25 First Row: N. O'Rourke, N. Nutter, A, Albree,j. Read, B. Gaffney Second Row: B.

The response to the call for members was instantaneous and so large that the Club membership had to be limited to thirty students. A constitution was drawn up and officers elected were Edward Shaw, President, Charles Enright, Vice'President, Barbara Gaffney, Secretary, and Klaus Halm, Treasurer. Guidance Director Mr. Nash became Club sponsor and faculty adviser. Behind'the-scenes activities connected with broadcasting -- script writing, casting, production, and sound effects, as Well as the technical processes connected with radio - were outlined to the group in a series of Weekly lectures. Trips through the WBZ studios and to a Sunday at 4:3O broadcast culminated the study of broadcasting. Auditions, open to the whole school, were held to aid the casting department in typing voices for roles in future productions. These auditions provided a file from which characters could be cast quickly, Without staging separate tryouts for each production. Several actual radio broadcasts were then planned. The various departments of the Workshop -- technical, publicity research, writing, and production - were set in order, and Work began in earnest. The first radio broadcast was given March 5 over WHDH. The program was in the form of a panel discussion - the topic: Should one mix a partftime ob with school work? The organization Was called a Workshop because it is just that, not a club. It is one of the most active organizations in the school, with meetings held every week, ze ABERJONA . 1947 First Row: B.

After a three'year absence because of the war, the Club appeared once again upon the calendar of events, those intensely interested in photography having made the resumption of activities possible. Under the guidance of Mr. Reed, President Dominic Rotundi, and Secretary'Treasurer Sidney Aitkens, the program for 1947 has been most interesting, The group's first project was to obtain a dark room. A basement room in the Wadleigh Building seemed suitable, so the Willing members Went to Work and outfitted it themselves. The next step, logically enough, was to start taking pictures. The Club as a group Went on tours of the town, taking many snaps of different scenes and trying different timing and lighting. Some members attended Vaudeville dress rehearsals and the shows, taking pictures which proved interesting to the cast as well as the photographers. All the camera fans have enjoyed getting good camera experience and are now ready to put it to expert use. The Club has invited any students in the school interested to enter with them in a National Eastman Kodak contest. We may now find among our camera fans a master of photographic excellence and technique. With such a successful reappearance, the Club cannot fail to play an important part in school life in the years immediately ahead. ABERJONA . 1947 27. First Row: C. Zinn, E. Moses, Beggs, Eklund, E.

S harpshoote rs Every Monday evening stran e things go on around the vicinity of McCormack's Drug Store. Sinister figures, armed with rifles, dart out of tie shadows and into a dark alley. But don't be alarmed g it's only Winchester High's newly formed Rifle Club assembling for their Weekly practice session. These practices are under the close supervision of the faculty adviser, Mr. Reed, who is ably assisted by Auxiliary Policemen Ralph Shadt, George Marvin, and Chief Robert Johnston, Sr. Mr. Shadt has engineered many improvements in the range, Professor Marvin has given instruction in the finer points of shooting and in the use of good equi ment, and Mr. Johnston has acquired much needed materials. The practices are held beneath the Star oflice. Tliiere, midst eerie shadows thrown by strong lights against the crissfcross of the shooting stalls, the Club members try their skill. A record of each weekis scores is kept, and competition for top honors runs high. Twentyftwo rifles and official N. R. A. targets are used. All targets with high enough scores are saved to send to the National Rifle Association. Badges are awarded according to the number and score of the targets. When the announcement of the formation of a Rifle Club was made, so many people turned out that it was impossible to accept them all for membership. As a result a squad of fifteen was chosen, preference being given to upperclassmen. Many of the members had had previous shooting experience at camp or at home, While some had never even held a rifle. After the first practice, however, everybody began to improve, until now the club members are shooting with skill in both rone and standing positions. The officers for this year are Ken Brandt, president, Roy O'Neil, vice' resident, Robert Oxford, executive officer 5 Allen Carlisle, secretary and treasurer. Plans are now under way fior the formation of a com eting team next year. Several of the surrounding schools already have teams, so that there should be no lack of, competition. za ABERJONA . 1947 I First Row: L. Wade, M. Crosier, Eklund, S. Marchant, L. La Fontaine, C.

Borden Songhirds The Chorus got under way in the early fall under the able direction of our new and clever director, Miss Violet Nardone, now Mrs. Waters. A new system of selection for the Special Chorus was adopted, that of try'outs, which resulted in a Mixed Glee Club of sixty-three members instead of the former two hundred. The students in Choral Music are arranged in two groups, the Special Glee Club, the admission to which is based upon the student's ability to read and sing music, and the regular music classes which meet during the school hours. The regular weekfday classes have selected from their groups members who choose songs on which the students vote. This has made the Chorus more interesting, for the students now sing songs of their own selection. Mrs. Waters has used the threefpart pieces, enabling the students to learn the songs more easily and quickly. Another innovation this year is a course in Music Appreciation, this course is an integral part of the Chorus program. About once a month records are brought in by the students and played to the group. Mrs. Waters then points out the flaws and the good points of each record. This course has also acquainted the students with some of the two hundred great composers and with the conductors of America in the past and present. The gl ABERJONA . 1947 29 First Row: S.

Because of the reduced size of the Selected Chorus, the members have been able to devote con- siderable time to rehearsing. The first appearance of the Chorus came during the Christmas season when a Christmas program, consisting of And the Glory of the Lord, The Christmas Hymn, and other selected pieces, Was presented to the Rotary Club by the Selected Chorus ensemble. Several small groups, composed of three or four singers, sang their selected pieces. Eben Caldwell and Barbara Elliott were among the most out' standing of these groups. Eben Caldwell sang Ave Marian and Barbara accompanied him at the piano. A few days later the same group presented a repeat performance to the school At this time also a selected group sang at the Marine and Cushing Hospitals. This group sang The Christmas Hyrnnf, White Christmas, and many others of the favorite Christmas hymns. Robert Horne and Eben Caldwell sang a duet of Silent Night accompanied at the piano by Barbara Elliott. After a successful Spring Concert consisting ofthe songs joyland, The March of the Toys, Donkey Serenade, Sweethearts, Evening Prayer, from Hansel and Gretel, and Deep River, the Chorus wound up the year with a delightful program given at graduation time. 30 ABERJONA - 1947 1 First Rout R.

Possessing some thirty members, a large increase over previous years, the orchestra has developed rapidly this year into an organization of which the school may rightly be proud. This has been accomplished despite its still small size and the immediate laclc of sulhcient string instruments. The orchestra hrstmade its appearance at the hIunior'Senior Class Play, in a rendition of Christmas selections. In February-the first concert was held, and the Hungarian Dances Nos. 7 and SN and the Emperor Waltz were especially Well received. During the program Kathryn Parker, Madeline Sullivan, Fred Walsli, Richmond Keeneyfjoseph Ciacalone, Patricia Maher and David Holdsworth contributed solos on their individual instru- ments. The orchestra meets regularly every Monday and VVednesday morning in the auditorium. Many of these rehearsals are devoted to the sight readingw of unfamiliar selections in order to improve each player's mastery of fundamentals. The remaining time is spent in preparation for future concerts. The conscientious othcers who have done much to increase the success of the group are David VViley, president, Kenneth Brandt, vicefpresidentg Richmond Keeney, concert master, joseph Ciacalone, secretary, and Patricia Maher, librarian. The year is climaxed by the annual May Concert, which this year will be certainly as successful as ever. Mr. Felmet may well be proud of the rapid strides his eager musicians have taken. With a wealth of promising and talented underclassmen on hand for the future, the orchestra appears destined for continued recognition and success. ABERJONA . 1947 31 First Raw: R.

With snap and recision they played and marched at all the home football games, and at most of the out'of'town games. The millitary aspect is carried over to the officers, too. Top ranking officer is Captain Kenneth Brandt. Next in rank was First Lieutenant David Wylie, who has since moved from Winchester. Second Lieutenant Fred Walsh is also Band Librarian. He is in charge of collecting and sorting all music used by the Band. Last, but not least, is Drill Sergeant Peter Hutchins. The Band meets three mornings a Week in the auditorium during the Activity Period, under the direction of Mr. Felmet. Pep assemblies were really pepped up by the stirring marches played by the Band. udging from the favorable comments of the student body, it would seem a good plan to have the Band play at a l assemblies, and not just at football rallies. Recently the Band branched out and added popular music to its repertoire. In addition to marches and football songs, the band now plays such music as South America, Take It Away, SaskatcheWan, ' London Suite, Over the Rainbow and Old MacDonald Had a Farm. One assembly period in March was given over entirely to band music. A public concert was also given in May. Several members took advantage of their band training and played in a small grou outside of the organization. Ten members played at the Winton Club Cabaret in February. Another group, lied by Captain Kenneth Brandt, layed in the annual Vaudeville in March. From the early morning practice marches on the Junior High held, to tlie concert in May, fri Ehe last Activity Period classes, the Band has with much effort earned its place as an integral part of our schoo i e. 32 g ABERJONA . 1947 First Row: B.

First, our editors'in'chief. We have Five of them sharing the heavy burden, Marnee Norris, Barbara johnson, Dave Sargent, Carolyn Reeves, and Ellen Hight. All of them have had a share in the many phases of the work of editing this ABERJONA. Anne Harris, our efhcient business manager, has done a su erlative job in handling financial matters and arranging schedules for group pictures. We boast a large stall? for there was a grand turneout when we started recruiting for workers. In the business held, a fresh bouton- niere goes on joe Santo's lapel for the amazing aptitude he showed for getting advertisements. The delightfull original art contributions were made by Chic Statliere, Constance Zimmerman, Gerry Errico, Joanne Eklundl: an Jackie Keefe under the guidance of Miss Goodrich. Much of the photography for the book was done by Klaus Halm and Jack Wentworth. Another phase of the work was admirably handled by Barbara Bucci, Lorraine La Fontaine, Barbara Patterson, june Chase, Eleanor Dalton, and Betty O'Donnell, who typed the copy. It is difhcult to single out any leaders, so many gave unstintingly of their time and energy in order that we might have a year book to bring back to us the best years of our lives. Above all, we owe a great deal to the inspiration of Miss Crockett's guidance. It has been our aim to make this an ABERJDNA that years hence will still be a source of pleasure. , 34 ABERJONA . 1947 First Row: Quine, R. Horne, Hennessey, Hammond, R. Joslin Second Row: Dana, B.

The first production was The Crimson Coconutf, Bomb lots were cleverly mixed with comedy in this hilarious play, which starred Barbara May Elliot, Dorothy Clarlie, Hank Fry, Koren Kollegian, Franny Powers, and Bob Singer. The second performance of the season was Are We Dressing? This confusing and amusing play centered around two plots. One was concerned with the problem of two youngsters, ably portrayed by Joyce Dana and John Hammond, who were concerned about whether or not a party given by socially prominent friends, Priscilla Turner andJim Quine, was to be formal. The other plot involved Eben Caldwell, cast as the father, in a business proposition dealing with garbage cans. The rest of the cast consisted of Adine Meacham, John Wolsey, and Frank Strawbridge. The third and last play, High School Daze, had not been produced when the ABERJONA went to press, but an experienced cast consisting of Rosanne Borden, Dorothy Clarke, Susanne Neiley, Jack Grimes, Hank Fry, Jimmy Hennessey, and Carolyn Reeves should make this play as successful as those preceding it. No small part of the success of these plays has been due to the stage crew consisting of Donald Goss, Klaus Halm, Robert Elliott, Douglas Mcllroy, and George Barbaro, to the property committees including Nancy Bigelow, Ruth Bunten, Martha Hickey, Joyce Dana, Ann Albree, Patty Woodward, Betsy Chipman, Elizabeth Barrett, Jean Norton, Judy Flanders, Joan Harris, and the prompters, Joan Haskell and Alice Hodge. Our hats are off to the Dramatic Club for such an enjoyable season, and particularly to Miss Bailey, under whose guidance and direction the plays were produced.

Millis, L. Fenno Stage 5D0or Our major dramatic effort this year, the junior-Senior Class Play, was Stage Door, by Edna Ferber and Geor e S. Kaufman. Directed by Mr. Kotkov, it was an ambitious production for a high school group, but the cast Cid an admirable piece of work. The story is that of the hopes, ambitions, and disillusionments of aspiring actresses, who all live together in a New York City boarding house. The leading role of Terry Randall, an unaffected, sincere young hopeful, was very ably and understandingly portrayed by Rosanne Borden. The male leads were taken by Grant Burtnett, as the slightly radical Keith Burgess, and Franny Power, as the suave theatrical producer, David Kingsley. Each of these boys did a fine piece of work, too. A superior supporting cast consisted of Dorothy Clark, Ellen McCauley, Anne Harris, Barbara May Elliott, Virginia Walters, Sue Neiley, Ellen Hight, Elizabeth Norian, jill Millis, jean. Craig, Libby Moses, and Linda Fielding as the other girls at the boarding house run by Mrs. Orcutt, whose role was well played by Barbara johnson, Libby Fenno and joel Slocum as Mrs. Orcutls maid and house man, jimmy Olivier, Alan Wright, johnny West, and Bill Whittemore as suitors of the various girls, David Sargent as Terry's father, Dr. Randall, Ed Shaw as a photographer, and David Smith as the vociferous Adolph Gretzl. The stage crew was headed by Donald Goss, assisted by Klaus Halm, Lack Wentworth, and Frank Strawbridge. The stage manager was Carolyn Reeves, assisted by Rosamond McPea e, Martha Hickey, and Barbara Warsky. A dress rehearsal was put on for the Murphy General Hospital and the audience there seemed to enjoy Stage Door as much as the cast did. Mr. Kotkov was a superb director and deserves a great deal of credit. The cast succeeded in having a wonderful time while producing an excellent performance. as ABERJONA . 1947 H Pony Chorus Rehearsal - QOnc pony forgot her shozs!j r Lights, 'yvlusiq Gurtain Highlighting every school year is the Vaudeville Show. For a few weeks grades are forgotten and talents take the spotlight. There will always be standard acts such as the dance choruses and singing groups. This year the choruses had Mrs. Matthews as a coach and very well she did, too, as was proved on the big nights! A slightly different, and amusing, touch was provided as some of the school's handsome hefmen lined up and did a captivating ony chorus routine. This year seemed to be a year for originality, even more so than usual. There were severalbunusual skits. Une of them was a rake'oii on Allen's Alley, transporting the audience to that well' known row, another was a sweet'potato trio with plenty of rhythm as well as originality. Certainly no one who saw the show will ever forget Mary Adele Clennon, Marguerite Derro, or Mary Lou Rotundi with their clever rofessional dance solos, and unusual and different tap-toe dance. There were many other colorful acts, all eriinrmed skillfully to make up one of our most gala school events. ln the years to come when we look back andp remember Winchester High School, the Vaudeville Show will still be fresh in our minds with its excitement and gaiety for audience and participants alike. .

This is the second time we've accomplished this feat since 1942. At times that C crown seemed an unreal dream far over the gridiron horizon, but the team was not to be denied this year. One important victory after another was tucked away, all culminating in the traditional encounter at Woburn, which, this year, ended all doubts concerning the Red and Black's supremacy. With a dream backfield sparked by Captain johnny West, punishing line-buster, and slippery Sam Bellino, speedy tailback, the local aggregation could have given any country ball club a run for its money. The backs were aided in no small measure by a big, hardfcharging line led by aggressive Bill VVhittemore at center. The boys made mistakes, naturally, but they more than made up for them when the pressure was on, Which, after all, is the real test of a team's merits. The line play improved noticeably with each succeeding Saturday, especially that of Riga and Gallelo, two defensive stalwarts at the flanks. The team as a whole played good, hard, wide-open football all the way. The season opener with Lexington was rather ragged, as is the case With most early games, but the locals easily had the advantage and the score of 21-O hardly indicated Winchester's superiority. Swamp' scott was the next victim, 13-O, but the seaside boys put up a good scrap before submitting to the great Red and ABERIONA . 1947 43 Black weight advantage and power. A veteran'studded Watertown eleven pushed us all over thefield for the first half, only to have Sammy Bellino take a pass from West, late in the game, and rapple'dapple his way to the only score of the game. From this point on, gaining in confidence and ability, the locals hit their stride, taking Winthrop, Stoneham, Framingham, and Reading over the hurdles before near disaster befell them at Belmont. Chalk that one up to overconfidence or just an off day - whatever you will, the fact of the matter was that a dark horse played us off our pins for three periods before Big Javsm West could supplement an early Belmont rally by lugging half the opposition over that last white chalkmark to even matters. The boys weren't down long, however, as they continued their winning ways through the remainder of the season, terminated by the afore- mentioned Woburn debafle. The Turkey Classic was hardly a contest from the outset as West, Bellino, and sophomore Pete Dillingham dazzled the opposition constantly. lt was a fitting conclusion to one of the most successful seasons in Red and Black gridiron history. The starting lineup sported joe Riga and Dom Callelo at ends, Jack Grimes and Nanj Nichols at tackles, Moose Merrow and Henry The Hammer Mottolo at guards, and Bill Snake Whittemore at center. Mario Buzzotta called signals and did some terrific blocking. Charley Flynn was a terror on reverses from his wing-back position. Sammy ran 'em crazy from tailback, while Captain johnny Boom Boom West was in charge of the attack at the bucking post. This group averaged well over one hundred seventyffive pounds per man. The leading reserves were Al Switzer and Verne Slack at ends, Busty Facciolo and jim Shovels', McLaughlin at tackles, Scott Doub and Jack Filler at guards, and Pistol Pete Dillingham, a future star at wingback. For those who like to reminisce, there are highlights in abundance: Captain West and Bill Whittemore were selected on several All'Scholastic Elevens . . . Bart's clothing ensemble was vividly displayed at every game . . . Lou Coddu was indispensable as always. Coach Knowlton did his usual flawless job with a comparatively inexperienced squad.

H The 1946 girls' field hockey team laid away their shinguards and hockey sticks with a successful season behind them. Under the able leadership of Captain Libby Fenno, Winchester Won six, lost three, and tied one game. Winchester started out on the right foot, winning their first three games by scores of 1-O, 2-O, and 3-O. A good Concord eleven and a slippery field combined to give Winchester a 2-1 defeat, and this was followed by a second defeat at the hands of a strong Lexington team, 3-O. Climbing back into the win-column, Winchester blanked Brookline 3-Og but then we were blanked in turn by a very strong Arlington team, 3-O. After battling to a scoreless tie with Watertown, Winchester went on to win the last two games by scores of 1-O and 2-O. The first team was made u entirely of seniors with the exception of Sally Luitwieler, who substituted at right fullback and is deserving olfjher captaincy for next year. There were four returning letter-winners from last year, namely: Libby Fenno, Sue Neiley, Carolyn Reeves, and Marnee Norris. On the forward line, highfscorer Libby Fenno at left'inner and Jane Sharon at leftfwing, both ably backed by Bobby johnson at left-half, made up a combination that was hard to beat and a main factor in getting those goals. At centerfforward Rosie Borden started the game with a snappy. bully and was always there to rush the ball when it was near those little white posts. Backing up Rosie was Carolyn Reeves, who stopped all comets with the greatest of ease - even though some of her methods were a trifle unorthodox. On the right side of the field Barbara Howe at right-inner teamed with Sue Neiley at rightfwing, and they were backed by Ellie Hight and her leftfhand lunges. Marnee Norris and Sally Blanchard stood guard over the back field, and while Marnee's specialty was her powerful drive, Sal excelled in scoops and dodges. Marnee also alternated at center forward and ended up as second highest scorer at the end of the year. If you looked carefully behind all the padding on those little white posts, you saw our all' scholastic goalie, Libby Moses, who did a grand job in keepin that ball away. The story of the year wouldn't be complete without mention of our efficient manager, joan Tiomas and her able assistants, Peggy Holmes and Nancy Booth. The whole squad is very grateful to Coach Matthews for all she did to help make the season a successful and oyous one for all. ABERIONA - 1947 45 First Row: W. Burtnett, S. Saltmarsh, D. Merrow, R. O'Day, N. Joyce . Second Row: W. Dingwell, R. Sheridan, G, Hutchins, S. Doub, C. Fox, K. Dickson Silver 6Blades Playing some of their games at 6:OO or 8:OG A.M., and led by Captain Moose Merrow, the Winchester hockey team went through the season with a not'too'impressive record of five wins, eight losses, and one tie. However, four of these losses were by one point. Scoring honors went to Captain Merrow with twenty points, and Scott Doub and Wimpy Burtnett with nineteen points each. Combining with Moose on the first line was Burtnett at left'wing and Doub at right. The second line consisted of Whip Saltmarsh at center, with Dick Sheridan at leftfwing and Norm Joyce at right. Helping Ken Dickson around the goal were Bill Dingwell, Chester Fox, and Russ O'Day. Winchester opened the season with an 8-4 loss to Belmont Hill, winners of the private school hockey title. Qur next game was a 3-1 win over Watertown, high up in their league. We lost our next three games to Andover, New Prep, and Stoneham by the score of 3-2. After the next game, a 2-2 tie with Lawrence Academy, the team came back to shut out Browne and Nichols, 4-O. They beat Wakefield 4-1, and then lost to them 5-3. The boys then ran wild over Browne and Nichols, walloping them 11-1. Later we lost a heartfbreaker to New Prep, 5-4, and to a fast Belmont Hill team, 7-1. Governor Dummer beat us 6-2, and then we came back to end the season with a glorious 9-6 triumph over New Prep. . G 46 ABERJONA . 1947 First Row: W. Zirkle, C. Williams, P. Dillingham, K. Donaghey,j.

Tamsey Flaslfty H oopsters The 1947 edition of Winchester's basketball forces was much better than their eight and eleven record indicated. The Red and Black quintet finished fifth in the eightfteam Middlesex League. This year Winchester welcomed Coach Bartlett home from the wars and the ever popular Bart proceeded to turn out a snappy team that had all its league opponents worried. Right from the start this Club proved to be a hot and cold outfit with a knack for dropping close contests. In their first league game the boys beat Belmont for the first time in four years to the tune of 52 to 40. Later in the season they dropped a 52 to 50 tiltito league-leading Readin , after playing a magnificent game. The biggest achievement of all, however, was when the Red and Black basieteers battled undefeated Winthrop right down to the wire before succumbing by one point. There were other close games and although the locals lost more than they won, they gave their loyal rooters plenty to cheer about. jim Cliver led the team in scoring, but Captain Dean Blanchard, and Captain-elect Al Switzer were close behind. These three in the front court, plus Big john West and Eddie Hicks at the guard posts, made up the starting five. Art Elmore Howard and sophomore Paul Roche took care of the reserve strength and also started their share of games. Going back to that eight and eleven record, it is interesting to note that six of those eleven defeats came at the hands of Tech Tourney teams. Reading, Winthrop, and Lexington took two games apiece from Winchester and all three were later invited to play in the big tournament at the Boston Garden. Winchester's lone visit to the Garden resulted in a 50-24 shellacking at the hands of Lexington. As usual Winchester's second team had a good season. Prospects for next year's team are better,than average with Switzer and Roche as returning lettermen, and Harry Easton, Ken Donaghey, and joe Amico moving up from the second team. Newcomer Dick Smith may also fit into Coach Bartlett's lans for next Winter. With another year to learn Coach Bartlett's style of play, this team should give a goodp account of itself.

Holmes Swishers The record for the girls, basketball team this year doesn't, We admit, tell of a highly successful season, however, with a little luck and a few less injuries, the record could easily have been bettered. The team, led by Captain Marnee Norris, and aided by Bobbie johnson as a guard fthe only two varsity letter winners returning from last year's squadl, certainly showed a great deal of vigor and fight, but although they tried their very best to make another basket and come out on the top, their efforts often seemed to be of no avail. The team, com' posed of Captain Norris, Libby Fenno, Ellen Hight, Barbara Johnson, Libby Moses, Sue Neiley, Dorothy 0'Connell, and Carolyn Reeves, and under the management of jane Sharon, shows a record of two wins as against seven losses. However, a close look at the books shows that the team had more talent than one would judge from the above. Several of the games were lost by only two baskets, which speaks for itself. Mrs. Matthews played as many people as possible in the second team games this year in order to give everybody experience. Since experience rather than triumphs was their goal, the team was not dismayed at losing all but one game. These second team players, led by Janice Morris, showed a great deal of promise, and the prospects for next year are good. 48 ABERJONA . 1937 l M. Norris, D. Buracker, R. Murray, Coach Matthews, L. Fenno, A. Albree , C'lQ1ccjuet Wielders ' With Marnee Norris, ranked eighteenth nationally and first in New England junior tennis circuits, and Ruthie Murray, Ann Albree, and Libby Fenno, all of whom are high in New England rankings, returning to the team, Winchester has more than an even chance of lengthening its undefeated record. With Marnee and Ruthie as first and second respectively, we can be sure of at least two points in every match, and Ann and Libby will be sure to add their share, too. These four returning letter players were also the nucleus for last year's undefeated team, which received silver identification bracelets for their accomplishments. Ruthie Murray, although a junior, was elected Captain for this season, and along with Ann Albree, another junior, she will keep that Winning quality at Winchester High School next year, too. Not only do the members of the girls' tennis team dominate suburban Boston teams with their outstanding playing, but they also continue to win in regional and state tennis tournaments, as well. Last year, Marnee and Libby triumphed over Ruthie and Ann for the state doubles crown, and at least two tennis players from Winchester received trophies in every summer tournament with Marnee, especially, a consistent winner. Marnee and Ruthie helped to represent New England in the team matches at Philadelphia last summer. The highlight of last year's season was the revenge match with Windsor, Libby Fenno and Dudie Jennings providin Winchester with the point necessary for a 3-2 win. The previous year, Libby's defeat had settled the matcg the other way, so her comeback victory was really the crowning point of the year. This was the only match where our opponents won two points, all other schools combined being limited to two oints. With practically the same schedule coming up again this year, Win' chester's feminine racquet wieldirs look forward to another very successful season with Coach Matthews's helping hand and Captain Ruthie Murray's very able leadership.

Flagg, Manager 5Batter Up! There's an old adage in baseball that says a team is only as good as its pitching. This certainly a plies to this year's Winchester baseball team. If the Red and Black can come up with a good hurling corps, Winchester will place high in the Middlesex League standings. As things stand now, two letterfwinning moundsmen are due to return this s ring. They are Bob Flynn, who was the number one hurler last year, although only a freshman, and Pete Priest, wfio has had both arm and ineligibility worries. Flynn could be the boy Winchester needs, but he has been hampered by a sore arm on several occasions. Other mound hopefuls are Bob Plunkett, a fireballer, Al Switzer, who also cavorts around first base, Scott Doub, a southpaw, and Ken Donaghey, a sophomore prospect. The rest of the positions are pretty well taken care of. Switzer, who saw a lot of utility action last spring, will hold down first base with Hank Fry or Bob Atkinson backing him up. Captain jimmsey Olivier and Eddie Hicks give the infield a good keystone combination. Olivier is a twofyear veteran with lots of savvy, while Hicks has won two previous letters as a utility man. He can play first, second, short, or the outfield. Dean Blanchard Will hold down his position at third base again. This is Dean's third year on the job, he rounds out a strong infield. Fred Swymer and Carl DeFillipo assure the team of good reserve stren th at second, short, or third. The outfield outlook is almost as encouraging as the infield's. Sammy Bellino in leg field returns to defend his batting title. Sam led the team in hitting last year with a .333 average. He's a streak in the field and the possessor of the best throwing arm on the team. There'll be a terrific scramble for the other two outfield positions. Verne Slack, Paul Roche, the aforementioned Donaghey, and perhaps DeFilli o are all strong candi' dates. The catching department is once again in the capable hands of jack Filler witfi Red Dickson serving as reserve. Filler's hitting will be a big actor in the Winchester offense. With this kind of material, Win- chester should be right up there in t e year's title race. Of course, pitching is the big iuestion mark. Bellino, Blanchard, Olivier, and Filler should provide plenty of punch at the plate, and the elding should be better than usual. Belmont will be the team to beat in the League again this year, but given adequate pitch- ing, Winchester should give the Belmonts a battle right down to the wire.

DeCamp 5Bases Loaded Last year, for the first time in five years, Winchester High School had a softball team. Some energetic members of '47 first started the ball rolling. After many hours of talking with Mrs. Matthews and circulating petitions they Hnally got official permission and janet Hayward was secured for coach. The dusty mits were dragged from their dark corners, and the season began. During the first few practice sessions the situation looked ho eless, but as the team gained experience, the girls improved. Their final record was two wins and three deTeats, one of the latter being lost by only one run. This year's season should be really successful. The entire squad is back, including some stars who will shine even brighter this year. The Holmes twins, for instance, are Rocks of Gibraltar in the outfield, and also pack a terrific wallop in the stick. Stationed at the initial sack will be Dee Barrett, a talented sophomore whose allfaround ability was a great asset to last year's team. anie Sharon holds down the keystone sack. Will we ever forget little Jane reaching frantically for.those hig ones? Sue Neiley will probably be number one pitcher, and secondfstring pitcher will be s eed-ballartist Janice Morris. Both these girls did very well last year. The turnfout last year proved that sofiiball is still a popular sport. Although the players were inexperienced, they had enthusiasm. This year's schedule is a hard one, containing seven games, but the team is sure to do the school credit.

Covert, Rocray, R. Zirkle, Coach Winslow. The Harriers For a young, inexperienced squad, the cross country boys performed nobly during their first season of first class competition. Granted, they won no meets, but their allfaround spirit, hustle, and general improvement through the fall campaign was of the highest order. With Captain Ken Dickson and Ted Sticks Covert leading the Way, the team, constituted primarily of underclassmen, has a strong possibility of coming in the winners in the notftoo-distant future. Mr. Winslow of the Wadleigh, handling the team for the first time, did a remarkable job with the younger fellows, while the indispensable Covert placed up in the 1-2-3 racket in nearly every meet. Encountering such veteranfstudded teams as Arlington, Concord, Woburn, and the champion Beverly High outfit was no small task for a group of comparative novices, and the showing of several freshmen and sophomores during the season was unusually commendable. Especially noteworthy were the performances of freshmen Riga and Rocray, while sophs Bob and Bill Zirkel, Tom McGowan, and junior Ben Coe displayed surprising ability. Don't expect miracles from this bunch in the future, but keep an eye on them just the same. With a little experience, confidence, luck, and school support, they're apt to bring home the bacon any time. ABERJONA . 1947 53 i r First Row: Rocray, S. Sorokin, A. Antippas, R. Riga, P.

Mac- Donald - Cinclermen With the graduation of Tom Feather Foot Kirwan, superb captain of last s ring's trackmen, a severe loss was suffered, since Tom was one of the best middle-distance runners in the high school ranks. Nevertheless, this season's edition should easily surpass the record attained last spring. jack Grimes is the boy who will try to fill Kirwan,s shoes in the halffmile, come springtime. Burly jack possesses a world of stamina, and should come into his own for plenty of points. With the mile event returning to competition for the first time in several years, Winchester sends forth Ted Sticks Covert. Ted is well remembered for his performances in cross country last fall, and should be ready for a banner year in track. In the dashes, another strong event, the Red and Black will be represented by Charlie Flynn and Pete Dillingham, two fleet footballers, with capable support from Rog Creelman, Don McFarlane and Henry Dempsey. Don Berridge seems destined for a big year in the 220, while Ben Coe and Pete Sorokin hold forth in the quarterfmile. The shotput looms as easily the outstanding f1eld event, with West, Whittemore, and Nichols forming a combination that's nearly invincible. Big John holds the all-time school record with a heave of well over 47 feet, which is really giving the iron sphere a ride. VVhittemore and Nichols improved noticeably last season, and with a little effort should easily fall in behind West. The broad jump looms as a dark horse, due to the uncertainty as to who will compete. Chances are, however, that Dillingham and McFarlane will hit the pit most often. The high 'ump is the big uestion mark since for several years no scalers of note have been around. However, John Holdsworth im roveiil rapidly last ring, and with a little coaching should make a line record. Unfortunately, the boys will be forced to run all ilieir meets away from home this sprin because of the lack of suitable track facilities. Even so, with support from the student body, the boys shoulfcome through very creditably. 54 ABERJONA . 1947 W. Zirlcle, R. Bonnell, R. Roth, E. Zirlcle, A. Howard, R. Young, R. Zirlcle Fore! Golf has steadily increased in popularity at Winchester High School since its organization in 1945, so much in fact, that it has at last found a place in the year book. This year Winchester's golf team joined the Boston Interscholastic Golf League for the First time. The team is ably led by Captain Elmer Zirlcel and consists of Dee Young, Bob Roth, Ralph Bonnell, Bill and Bob Zirlcel, and Art Howard. This year they will play the following teams: Concord, Reading, Melrose, and Lexington. Each team will be played twice. Then there will be a round-robin in which they play oli for the title and, last, the State Meet. Coach Leary feels that the team has a pretty good chance this year, in spite of the fact that it lost about two'thirds of its games last year. Because the ABERJONA is going to press before the matches can be played off, no scores are available. We predict, however, that the team will have a very successful season in its third year at Winchester High School.

This year President Ed Hicks capably led the Executive Board -john West, Bill Whittemore, im Clivier, Dean Blanchard, Marnee Norris, Libby Fenno, Sally Blanchard, Barbara Johnson, Peggy Holmes, Ned Moore, and Mr. Hayward, Coach Knowlton, and Coach Matthews - in operating the Athletic Association effectively. As usual, the hrst thing on the docket for the year was the membership drive, which again was conducted successfully. Rallies throughout the fall season kept Winchester High School tuned up to pitch in school spirit. The Fall Sports Dance in October and the Mid'Winter Dance, providing relief after exams in january, were well supported and hnancially successful. The annual Athletic Association All'Sports Banquet in December was again the longfanticipated event of the season. It was largely attended by all the people who with much effort helped to put Winchester High School through a victorious sports season - and this not only includes letterfwinners and coaches, but also the Auxiliary Police, that necessary corps of men that carried the football team to ouvofftown games, local newspaper men, cheerleaders, the band, and others. Libby Fenno, captain of field hockey and ay threefletter winner, was presented with the Wheeler Cup, and Johnnie West, football captain and another threefletter star athlete, received the Mansfield Cup. Next in the activities of the year came the Fifteenth Annual Vaudeville Show. Although the actual performance didn't come until the end of March, Mr. Hayward and Coach Matthews and Coach Knowlton started to work on it more than a month ahead of time. This yearis show didn't have a central theme as did last year's, but once more a large part of the student body participated. All combined their efforts to make it the year's highlight in entertainment. Now next year's ofhcers take over to follow in the footsteps of graduating President Ed Hicks and the Executive Board. 56 ABERJONA . 1947 5, 8 3 X YV' I., xr we gras? '. K n 5 . if- .
