Guidance Dept. Winchester High School WINCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY WINCHESTER, MASS. Winchester High School 1904-1954 I How It All Began ABERJONA Ancient legends, redmen’s legends Tell us stories strange and true; And there is one, is an old one May hap never heard by you. Once a redman, redman Aber And a maiden were in love, But her father kept them parted So they prayed to the god above. Then in secret, secret meeting By the river near the lake Maiden Jona and her Aber Plotted there their lives to take; That in heaven, heaven happy They two might together be. In the river leaped they slyly Hoping thus their souls to free; Thus the legend, legend tells us What this story came to mean How this joining Aberjona Came to name our well known stream. WINCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL Aberjona CLASS of 1954 WINCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS WINCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY WINCHESTER. MASS. Li ,UL VJ This year is a banner year for W inchester High School. Not only is it the fiftieth anniversary of the high school itself, but the twenty-fifth anniver¬ sary of the Aberjona as well. The ’54 Aberjona offers a double feature, too, a contrast between 1929 and 1954, and even a peek into the future with the class of ’54’s interpretation of the new Winchester High School. There is one thing here which has never changed and never shall and that is the spirit of the student body and the pride and loyalty they feel in their school. This, the class of ’54, not only bequeaths to all incoming classes but takes with it to aid and influence them throughout their entire life. • 4 • To Morse , Of Course do we, the Class of Nineteen Fifty-Four, dedicate our Aberjona. We shall always remember your unique versatility, inimitable imitations, coopera¬ tion, and friendliness. Thanks also for keeping your sense of humor in deal¬ ing with our seemingly hopeless problems. Your natural personality and sin¬ cere devotion have proven to us that you are a true leader and a fine friend. • 5 • I (_Aberjona Staff First Roiv: S. Scanlon, P. Page, R. Crockett, P. McNally, R.

Out of the confusion of ballots, write-ups, photographs, and drawings came the organization, workmanship, and decisions which resulted in the fin¬ ished product. Members of this year’s Aberjona staff pooled their ideas and originality to prepare a book with all the standard equipment plus interesting extras. Among the many students whose help was indispensable were Sheila Scanlon, Kent Wright, Betty Lou Martenson, and John Merritt who used their artistic talent to draw the many sketches, cartoons, and miniatures; Bobby Crockett and his circulation staff who spent their time and energy drumming up Aberjona subscriptions; members of the advertising staff headed by Peg McNally, Madeline Derro, and Bill Hosmer who solicited the necessary ads; and last, but by no means least, the editorial board including Sally Cunningham, Sheila Gallivan, Martha Halloran, Patty Page, Sheila Scanlon, and Bob Willing who under the direction of editor-in-chief, Sylvia Barnaby, and managing edi¬ tor, Don Palladino, toiled many long and tedious hours to publish a bigger and better yearbook for 1954.

Headed by its officers, President Don Palladino, Vice-President Connie Snelling, Secretary Marcia Lynch, Treas¬ urer Paul O’Brien and a suggestion-full” executive board, the Council kept up its fine reputation by active participation in and around school affairs. Leading the list of accomplishments of this year’s Student Council are the sale of Sachem book covers and the sending of delegates to the two Student Council conventions. Dave Pratt was elected to represent Winchester High School in the annual Good Government Day program. As customary, the Council ran the class elections smoothly and efficiently. In response to many requests of the students, the Council brought the WHS decals back into cir¬ culation. Early in February, the Council sponsored an assembly; a quartet from Harvard put on a fine show to somewhat ease the tension just before re¬ port cards. A dance late in March put the finishing touches on a successful and most profitable year. • 52 First Row.- ' M. Dyer, D., McNeill, B. Bein, D. Palladino, T. Ordway, R. Flaherty, D. Mitchell, A.

Junior Red Cross This worth-while organization always starts the year off with a bang, getting one hundred per cent membership throughout the entire high school. It is the only extra-curricular activity that exists for the benefit of those outside Winchester High School. Throughout the school year Junior Red Cross members are actively engaged in various useful projects. Among these are gathering old clothes for the Save the Children Federation, collecting new Christmas cards for the veterans at Bedford Hospital, donating magazine sub¬ scriptions and protective covers to the Winchester Hospital, plus several other valuable services of a similar nature. This year’s Red Cross officers under the competent guidance of Miss Bronson are Thomas Ordway, President; Don Palladino, Vice-President; Adele Mitchell, Secretary; and Ruth Flaherty, Treasurer. Ann Marks is chairman of publicity, while Bonnie Bein is production chairman. In addition to these leaders, the board members and homeroom representatives also contribute their time and effort to enable this organization to perform its many useful services for others. • 53 First Row: M.

Headed by Co¬ editors John Becker and Patty Page, the senior staff, consisting of Sheila Gallivan, Judie Higgins, Sheila Scanlon, Nancy Ayer, Martha Halloran, Paul O’Brien, and Henry Morgan, success¬ fully put out the first four issues. As is the custom at W. H. S., the paper was turned over to an eager group of textbook jun¬ ior journalists half-way through the year. Both staffs this year introduced something new and dif¬ ferent.’’ A new movable nameplate which simplified front page make-up; the use of a variety of types; a different policy .on covering school news; and the new style of makeup in the Senior Sketches were noticeable improvements. Writing, typ¬ ing, copy-reading, and headlining the copy, making up the paper and proof-reading, viewing the finished product, and keeping the Red and Black out of the red have become rou¬ tine to the two staffs. All those who have combined their talents and served on the Red and Black declared it well worth the time and effort put into producing nine very worthwhile papers. • 54 National Honor Society First Row: S. Cunningham, S. Gallivan, P. Page, S. Kelleher. Second Row: N. Oexle, A. Cairncross, D. Doucette. Character, scholarship, leader¬ ship, and service are four qualities everyone would like to possess. Election to the National Honor So¬ ciety, the highest honor Winchester High confers, requires these four qualities. Only five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class can be selected from the upper third of the class. Both students and faculty vote on the final membership. Miss Bronson and Mr. Keeney act as advisors. Quill and Scroll To reward those outstanding in any field of journalism the Quill and Scroll honorary society was added in 1949. Only those in the upper third of the class are eligible for selection by the national head¬ quarters. Each candidate is also judged on the quality of a story or article submitted. New members are initiated each spring after they have shown their excellence. This international society aids high school journalism by contests and a critical service. First Row: S. Scanlon, N.

At Christmas the play Christmas Spirit was produced and directed by three of the club members. During the year club members have been working with the Mystic School Mother’s Association in a program of dramatics for the grade school. The club held three reg¬ ular meetings and several others pertaining to special areas of dramatics. As in past years a play was sent to the Massachusetts Drama Fes¬ tival. Working with Mr. Morse, our able di¬ rector, were the officers of the club: President, James Andrew Robertson; Vice-President, Gail Stratton; Secretary, Sheila Gallivan; Treasurer, John Becker.

Thrijt Association Once again the Winchester High Thrift Association reached it ' s usual fine record of ninety-nine per cent. Much of the credit went to the students of the school who realized the importance of saving. It was amazing the amounts that were banked each week—ranging from $400 to $750. With Mrs. Stacy as advisor, this organization has run smoothly and efficiently for several years. Thanks to the homeroom bankers President Steven Dunn and Vice- Presidents Brad Johnson and Dick Clark managed to get the money to Judie Higgins and her assistants Sue Clark and Ellen Glowacki on time. These girls computed the results and passed them on to Nancy Vaughn who typed them up for the school and bank records. • 58 First Row: T. Johnston, G. Eaton, D. Pratt, W. Jesdale, L. Bruno, C.

Traffic Squad Alert, dependable, always on the job; that’s this year’s Cooper’s Troopers.” They can often be seen at their various posts with sand¬ wiches, advertising Out of this World” dances and the ’54 Aberjona. Though little appreciated by the student body, the Traffic Squad is es¬ sential to the safety of every student at W. H. S. Many of the stu¬ dents who attempt to live dangerously are soon dissuaded by the wise admonitions of their anxious guardians. Because a great deal of space is needed in the corridors, the Traffic Squad does its best to relieve the crowded halls by keeping the traffic moving in an orderly fashion. This year’s T. S., under the watchful eyes of faculty advisor, Mr. Cooper, is headed by student president Bill Sullivan and consists of several bright, alert boys who have accomplished much in preserving order on the stairs, in the halls, and especially during the chaotic rush of B” Lunch. . 59 • First Row: M.

Under the usual parliamentary pro¬ cedure in the Physics Lab., advocated by Dr. Alley, nominations and elections were held with the following results: President, Craig Muncaster; Vice-President, Bobby McLaugh¬ lin; Secretary, Alison Hersey; Treasurer, Paul O’Brien; and Executive Board—David Pratt, Robert Willing, Thomas Ordway, and Harold McKinley. The meetings, held on the second Thursday of each month, consisted of a varied program of movies and demonstrations. Later on in the season, the club participated in a tour of the Boston Science Museum. This year’s club lived up to its previous reputation with about fifty-five paid members. 60 • Math Club Under the able guidance of Mr. Butters the Math Club has really come to life this year. The membership at our meetings has grown from a few loyal people to a roomful of enthusiastic and interested mathematicians. Although the sen¬ iors are supposed to have more brains, the juniors are right on their toes and do their part in making meetings click.” It’s fun to try your luck at problems without worrying about grades. No one cares how well you do as long as you have fun and perhaps learn a little. The members are looking forward to the math contest in the spring when the two most able jun¬ iors and the two brainiest seniors will show just how good they really are. We know they’ll all do well, so congratula¬ tions in advance. The Math Club is open only to Juniors and Seniors, so we are depending on you eager Sophomores to make the club even bigger and better next year. First Row: W. McCormack, A. Marks, J. Pierce, D.

Philosophy Club The Philosophy Club, keeping up with changing world affairs, has held sessions on various topics, from family relations to Communism. Different aspects of these subjects were taken up, resulting in intelligent and heated arguments on the part of the members. A number of speakers gave interesting talks and later led discussions with most of the philosophers voicing their opinions. Although order was usually maintained at the meetings, Mr. Skerry, acting as arbiter aequissimus, occasionally stepped in to make a quick change in the subject. There was much to be learned by the interesting and sometimes boisterous discussions. The Great Mediator has been aided by the officers of this organization, Bob Crockett, President; Warren Goodnow, Vice-President; Bill Johnston, Secretary; and Nancy Oexle, Assistant Secretary. In¬ fluenced by these monthly sessions, the loyal Philosophy Club members acquired new views and more informed ideas of current events. • 62 First Row: R. Flaherty, J. Nelson, M. Harris, J.

Club Cervantes Mr. Kotkov: Es el Club Cervantes un buen club, muchachos?” Muchochos: Ya la creo!” The Spanish Club is one of the most active clubs at Winchester High School and will continue to be under the capable supervision of Mr. Kotkov. We in the Spanish Club, Club Cervantes, think it is quite an organiza¬ tion. This year we sponsored a barbecue for all Spanish students so that everybody could get together and meet each other. Later on in Dece mber we went into Boston and saw the wonderful Spanish folk-dancing of Jose Greco and his company. This spring there will be a secret initiation for Spanish students with B” averages who wish to become members of our club. Toward the end of school we have planned another outing, probably a barbecue, in honor of the departing seniors in the club. Yes, the Spanish Club is quite active under the able leadership of its Presi¬ dent, Marie Ferri; Vice-President, Diana d’Elseaux; and, of course, the good advice of Mr. Kotkov. 53 • First Row: L.

Band Under the very able and inspiring leader¬ ship of our hard working director, Mr. Fred Felmet, the band has had a most successful and enjoyable year. This busy year included a full football schedule, an outstanding band concert, participation in the State Festival, playing for Memorial Day Parade and En-Ka Street Fair. This year the Band members elected Billy Eriksen, President; Stan Mullen, Vice-Presi¬ dent; and Bob Willing, Secretary-Treasurer. With graduation there will be many gaps left in the band; but, with the enthusiasm that Win¬ chester has for the band, it is needless to say that Mr. Felmet will have these gaps filled al¬ most immediately. We know that the Band will continue to add color and excitement to many school functions in the future. 64 • Orchestra Composed of thirty members, the Winchester Orchestra plays a carefully selected repertoire of music which empha¬ sizes each section and attempts to suit all tastes. Each mem¬ ber gains a deeper appreciation of good music. One of the highlights of this year was the combining with the Arlington Orchestra in January to give a concert for both high schools. Such numbers as Some Enchanted Evening from South Pacific, selections from the Netv Moon, and Port Royal, 1861, which emphasized the string section, were en¬ joyed by the audiences. Winchester was also well repre¬ sented at the Massachusetts All-State Orchestra. Under the patient, talented, and understanding direction of Mr. Fred Felmet, ably assisted on the string section by Mr. Theodore Janner, this organization is constantly increasing in size and ability.

S. production of Victor Herbert’s The Fortune Teller was put on jointly with the other glee clubs and the Curtain and Cue in December. At the con¬ clusion of the Christmas Assembly, the club sang December, A Joyous Month For All, a song which included the story and music for the Jewish festival, Hanukkah, and the Christian story of Christmas. It was the first time that any such program had been presented at the school. Under the capable direction of Miss Anifantis and its officers, President, Madeline Derro; Vice-President, Bob Deroo; and Accompanist, Jock Willis, the group continued its activities into spring with a performance at the Congregational Church. The Mixed Glee Club was represented by Roland Gailitis in the All-State Chorus. The annual Spring Concert, April 30, brought to a close a very worthwhile year for the club. • 66 • At Piano: Judy Fowler. Left to Right: C. Damon. G. Wadsworth, C. Snelling, N. Ayer, S. Wittet, B.

This year, however, the girls made many other appearances. They sang for the Men’s Club of the First Congre¬ gational Church, the Masons, the Mothers’ Club of the Lincoln School, and the GIC’s Mother-Daughter Tea. Many of these per¬ formances also featured solos by Louise Or- gettas. The group was ably directed by Miss Anifantis, and accompanied by Judy Fowler. Girls 1 Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Eleanor Anifantis, made its initial appearance at the Christmas Assembly. The girls also sang at a meeting of the Masons, the Spring Concert, and the Massachusetts State Music Festival, where they have always received a superior rating. Two senior Glee Club members, Carol Brown and Carol Damon, represented the group in the Massachusetts All-State Chorus.

Louise Orgettas in the title role sang her way from the gypsy forest to the palace with Brad Johnson as her gypsy sweet¬ heart. Seth Weston as the dancing master and John Swazey as the Count provided the humor while Connie Snelling and Chris Adams were the young lovers. • 70 Follow The Dream Chosen for the Class Play was Follow the Dream.

Among the projects inaugurated by President Sheila Scanlon and her board of twelve, advised by Miss Barnes and Miss Bernhoft, were a fashion show, mother-daughter teas, a food auction, talent show, an informative lecture series, fall and spring dances, and the annual auction. Both to aid the Executive Board in determining the girls’ interests and to give out the new membership cards, new homeroom representatives were elected early in the school year. A permanent GIC column was formed in the Red and Black and a GIC assembly was held to explain the new plans. Officers of this year’s board were Vice-President, Dorothy Pratt; Secretary, Linda Thomson; and Treasurer, Sally Cunningham. First Row: N. Donaghey, B. Venardi, S. Cunningham, D. Pratt, S. Scanlon.

Each year, some- new in the way of uniforms is added to a team, and this year was no except ion with new pants, pads, and helmets being purchased for the football team-. Also, by allowing members of the association a reduced admission price at home games, membership in the organization and attendance at the games has been very good all year. This points out the suc¬ cess of the association in its job of supporting sports. Socially, this year has been a success under the direction of the social secre¬ tary, Janet Graves. The annual Fall Sports and Mid-Winter Dances were well attended, and a good time was had by all. The success of an organization like this is due to a little cooperation frorp each member. If, in the future, the Athletic Association functions as well as it has this year, the student body need not worry about the sporting activities of the high school. First Roir: J. Graves, D.

The only qualification needed in order to join this club is a varsity letter in any sport. Each year it has been the policy of the Varsity Club to promote some sort of a project. In the past few years the club has alternately presented the hilarious game of Donkey Basketball and the magnificent exhibition by the Springfield College Gym Team. This year neither the gym team nor the Donkey Bas¬ ketball could be lined up for a night of entertainment, so the club is going to sponsor something different. The proceeds from the annual project are used by the A. A. to help pay for the cost of taking pictures of the football games. Aside from its activities, the Varsity Club strives to encourage good sportsmanship on and off the field of play. The club this year is headed by Dave Pratt, President; Tim Hennessey, Vice-President; Bob McLaughlin, Secretary; and John Riordan, Treas¬ urer. • 78 • Cheerleaders Winchester, Winchester, come on through!”—they’re always rooting hard for you. From September to March, through foot¬ ball and basketball seasons, the ’leven limber lassies led by Captain Rocky Jope made a snap¬ py appearance as they cheered and sang the teams on to victory. Their traditional black blazers worn in the fall, come basketball sea¬ son, were exchanged for black corduroy middies (made by the girls themselves), but their spirit and loyalty never changed. Everywhere—at home and away—Win¬ chester is noted for its enthusiastic rooters. Well-coached teams + faithful followers + energetic cheerleaders = the magic formula for the good sportsmanship and success of WHS. Front Row: S. Yale. A. Whiton, C. Snelling, J. Sweetser.

Football Starting the season off slowly with a 13-0 loss at Concord, the football squad then began to improve more each week, and after tying a highly favored Watertown team 13-13, Knowlton’s Warriors went on to win all their re¬ maining games. Winthrop was first to fall under the treads of our winning squad, 31-16. Then came Stoneham, Melrose, the squad’s first real test, Reading, and Belmont, each falling successively under scores of 28-13, 20-13, 39-6, and 28-12. By far the most anticipated game of the year was with Wakefield, the team rated first in the state, and the squad, reaching the climax of their im¬ provement, operated like a well-oiled machine and proceeded to crush a very discouraged Wakefield team, 28-13. The only unfortunate accident of the season occurred, in this game when Jim Cusack broke his leg. The Turkey Day tilt with Woburn brought the season to a successful close with seven wins, one loss, and one tie with a total seaso n score of 226 points for, and 102 points against the team. . 80 The Big Chief Triplt Threats TVP 1C PartV Br. a ,s e r, e a n Three’s a crowd Mr. Freight Train 81 • First Row: N.

Field Hockey Are we going to lose?” No!” Are we going to win?” Yes!” With these words pushing them on, the varsity field hockey team surged through to an undefeated season, winning five and tying two. Playing in the forward line were Jan Gtaves, Captain Alison Hersey, Betty Anne Haggerty, Sue Donnell, Dianne McNeill, and Marilyn Dyer. Always there behind them were Marty Halloran, Sally Cunningham, Judie Higgins, Gracie van Hulsteyn, Peggy McNally, Sheila Gallivan, Nancy Gail Hanford, and Nancy Morse. The best played game of the season was against Lexington, when, coming, from be¬ hind, Winchester drove through to a 1 to 1 tie. Other teams yielding to the Red and Black were Stoneham, 1-0; Melrose, 1-0; Watertown, 4-1; and Malden, 4-0. In the last game of the season Arlington tied Winchester in a closely fought duel, 2-2. The team was kept on the go all season by Coach Mildred Barnes. The J. V.’s had a creditable record of six wins and one tie. The varsity will be cap¬ tained next year by fullback Dottie Pratt. . 82 First Row: C. Urmson, P. Franson, R. Dauphinais, H. Bates, K. Brown, R. Binding, D. Clark, B. Lindsey. Second Row: G.

Cross Country With only three returning varsity lettermen, Coach Morse’s cross country team won four and lost only two of its dual meets. Victories were chalked up against Concord, Woburn, Everett Vocational, and Revere, while the only losses were to Wellesley and the Class B champs, Wakefield. In two practice meets the harriers whipped Malden Catholic and bowed to the Boston Univer¬ sity freshmen by seven points. Meanwhile, the J. V.’s were undefeated, win¬ ning easily over their opponents. In the Pilgrim Division meet at Essex, the locals ran through mud and rain to place third. The Middlesex League meet found the varsity sixth, while the J. V.’s ran their best race of the season to take second. The home team bounced back in the State meet, capturing third place. Winchester’s ace, Lou Farrell, ran a great race to become Winchester’s first State Champ in several years. In addition, Lou set records on the Woburn and Winchester courses and tied the Wellesley record. Other top runners of the year were Captain John Becker, Dick Borggaard, Henry Morgan, Bob Becker, Don Palladino, and Bob Smith. . 83 First Row: B. Bellino, A. Mitchell, C. Driscoll, N. Donaghey, N.

The team is com¬ posed of such stars as Alison Hersey, Diane McNeill, Florence Newton, Sheila Gallivan, and Gracie van Hulsteyn as for¬ wards, with Captain Sally Cunningham, Peggy McNally, Mary Lou Armstrong and Prudy Morton holding down the vital guarding positions. Under the able coaching of Miss Mildred Don’t insult their intelligence!” Barnes, the team really shaped up into the proverbial triple threat.” The schedule included games with Watertown, Melrose, Concord, Belmont, Lexington, and the arch rival, Arlington. The season was a good one even though the Arlington game had a rather unsatisfactory result. The J. V.’s came along nicely and should prove more than a match for their next year’s competitors. Picking up after the team and waiting out those long hours in the office were the two faithful managers, Bonnie Bein and Carol Damon. 84 • First Row: J. Page, R. Kerrigan, D. Sawyer, R.

Forty-five men turned out for the first practice session and while the squad was not as heavy as in previous years, the boys gave a good account of themselves. The team opened the season with a decisive 3- 1 victory over Beverly. They beat the Boston champs, Boston Latin 5-4. The string snapped, and they lost to Lynn English 4-3. W. H. S. played Hebron Academy in Maine and lost a close 4- 3 decision. The coach of the Hebron team and the dean of the academy thought it was the best game played at their school and have invited W. H. S. up there for another game next year. As the guests of Lawrence Academy the team spoiled the day for Lawrence with a 4-0 win. 85 First Row: J. Wright, J. Bellino, L. Farrell, D. Pratt, H.

Willing. Boys 1 Basketball This year’s Red and Black hoopsters had only two returning lettermen, in Co- Captains Joe Dilorio and Dave Pratt. It appeared that the Bartlettmen would have their ups and downs because of their inexperience. Nevertheless, these high spirited boys, under the tireless coaching of the popular W. H. S. basketball mentor, Ted Bartlett, quickly proved themselves to be high among the league contenders. Gain¬ ing experience through pre-season scrimmages and three non-league games, the In¬ dians then forged through four undefeated league games until they met the talented Belmont five in a closely contested game with Belmont coming out on top by a score of 59-54. The highly toted Lexington quintet then came to town and won a 56-48 decision. Showing continual improvement, the Sachems went on to roll up a fine seasons record of 18-5, which qualified them for the Teck Tourney preliminaries. They took a big step toward the championship by beating Swampscott. Although rated the dark- horse team,” through constant determination and drive, the Indians won dramatic two- point victories over Methuen and arch-rival Belmont. A greatly inspired, high-spirit¬ ed team met Lexington, Middlesex League champs, in the finals and squeezed out a 52 to 50 victory to become the Eastern Mass, champs for the second time in three years. • 86 Dribbling Dynasty Leading the way!

Although there are only two varsity players return¬ ing, Nancy Morse and Prudy Morton, anticipated strength comes from Sue Clark, Jean McKen¬ zie, Mickie Coon, Lee Abbott, Natalie Bellows, Marcia Harris, and Diana d’Elseaux. All the girls this year are very willing and determined to work hard for their top varsity positions and thus an excellent season is expected. Several girls have received New England rankings: Prue Morton, number eight in the Junior Singles; Jean McKenzie and Lee Abbott, numbers four and eleven respectively in the Girls’ Singles; and Jean and Lee, placed number two in the Girls’ Doubles. The team is being coached by Dottie Hills. The schedule is similar to previous years with Belmont and Winsor furnishing the most competition and Concord, Malden, Arlington, Melrose, and Hingham completing the list. The match with the boys at the end of the sea¬ son also furnishes plenty of competition and fun. • 88 • First Row: S. Weston, B. Johnson. T. Ordway. J. Moulton, D. Folkers, B. Becker. Second Ron-: B.

Boys 1 Tennis With winter on the way out, the unbeatable backboard will soon be host to rusty players, trying to get back into some semblance of shape. The varsity players returning are Moulton, Ordway, Becker, Clark, and Bingham, who should help the varsity to do as well, if not better than the 1953 team. Also returning are Folkers, Johnson, Harlow, McNitt, who along with several new players, will help to strengthen the J. V. and varsity teams. Mr. Fitts will again give his invaluable aid to the squad. There are eleven games scheduled this year, the Andover J. V.’s being the only new team on the list to play the varsity. Winchester should make a good showing in the State Tournament which will be held at Winchester again this year, hav¬ ing finished in second place last year to Newton by only one point. In the fall tournament Becker came through in fine style to win it. • 89 • First Row: B. Venardi, A. Hersey, P. McNally, M. Lynch. Second Row: M. Barnes, S. Scan¬ lon, N. Samarco, L. DiZio, B.

With returning lettermen, Captain McNally playing around second sack and Alison Hersey on third, plus the invaluable battery of Lor¬ raine DiZio and Leora Peckham, which last year chalked up a 6-0 record and was credited with only one walk in six games; and fly snatchers, Marcia Lynch, Sheila Scanlon and Betty Bellino, in the field, their hopes and expectations were justly founded. Coached by Miss Mil¬ dred Barnes, the team had all the earmarks for a good season. Relying on the senior new¬ comers Sheila Gallivan, Gracie van Hulsteyn, and Florence Newton and juniors Nancy Sam¬ arco and Bobby Venardi, this year’s team went ahead well prepared to meet its rivals. . 90 First Row: F.

Mawn, Mr. Provinzano. Baseball With only five veterans returning Coach Provinzano will start his second year as varsity baseball coach somewhat shorthanded. He is quite fortunate, however, in having some splendid material available from last year’s J. V. and freshman teams. In the starting line-up he has Captain Bob McLaughlin at third, Joe Dilorio at first, Bob Jacobellis at right field, Warren Goodnow as catcher, and Dave Pratt as pitcher. He should also get additional sup¬ port from Ralph Kerrigan and Roger Delorey on the mound. The outlook for the season is very bright and the boys that played together last year, with the necessary assistance of the newcomers, will be giving their best as they fight for a chance at the coveted Middlesex League Championship. Coach Provinzano did a great job last season, his first year with the varsity, and with the promising material coming up, maturing as the season goes on, he should have a team Winchester can be proud to call its own. 91 • Golf Team This year’s golf team, under the direction of Coach Otis Leary, promises to have a very successful season. Although there are only two returning letter men, Bob Willing and John Page, the team will be ably assisted by good material from the freshman and sophomore classes. With the opening of the golf season this year Winchester Country Club will again be patronized by WHS students. Besides the regular scheduled matches, the Varsity looks forward to the annual battle of the fairways with the faculty. At the time of going to press the team schedule had not been completed, but it is expected that Winchester will play, as in past years, Melrose, Concord, Wake¬ field, Reading, Saint Sebastian’s and Brookline. The caliber of this year’s team justifies high hopes for the coming spring matches. First Roic: D. Barnard, J. Page, R. Willing, J. Zirkel. Second Row: E. Speers, T. Black, R. Gullotti, R.

Track It won’t be long until the track squad will be down on Manchester Field limbering up for the Middlesex Inter-Class Meet on April 30. This year the team is scheduled for dual¬ meets, the Quad Meet, State Meet and the League Meet. With ten lettermen returning from last year’s varsity squad of fourteen, prospects look good. Dashmen will include Co-Captains Guerry Eaton and Paul O’Brien, Bernie Marvin, Dave Rotundi, Kent Wright, and Charley Govostes. O’Brien, Wright, and Rotundi will run in the 100, Eaton and Marvin in the 220 and Govostes in the 440. The middle distance races will find Hank Morgan and Bill Johnston running the 880 and John Becker, Lou Farrell, and Jack Borggaard in the mile. In the field events the local tracksters will have ' Tim Hen¬ nessey and Jim Cusack putting the shot, John Riordan and Jim Cusack in the discus. Bud McKinley and Craig Muncaster in the high jump, and Dave Rotundi in the broad jump. The hurdle specialist will be Don Palladino. . 93 First Row: B. Martensen, A. Harrington, V. Bullard, S.

Ski Club At the first meeting in late November each member of the Ski Club signed the club roster and classified himself as a novice, intermediate or advanced skier. Those present decided that the organization might be most successfully managed by a small executive committee. Kent Wright, Charlie Stevens, and Anne Marks were chosen members of this group. Several members made suggestions for a week¬ end trip during the late winter. Applications for Junior membership in the United States Eastern Amateur Ski As¬ sociation were made available for Ski Club members. This allowed our members the privileges of the large association which is so active. At the February meeting a movie was shown. Everyone expressed the hope that snow, transporta¬ tion, and other necessary elements would make a ski week¬ end in New Hampshire possible for Ski Club members. . 95 • Left to Right,: M. Johnson, N.

Tumblettes After the innovation of last year’s Tumbling Indians, the tumblettes switched not only to new uniforms, but new and varied routines. Making great strides this year, they tumbled at one-half of the football games and added new sparkle to several pep rallies. With the help of Mr. Felmet and the Band, the routines were done to the accompaniment of lively marches symbolic of the football season. Only hard work and long hours of practice could make possible the precision and $kill with which these girls executed their difficult stunts. It is hoped that they will not only continue to do a good job, but will also improve as they-gain experience in each successive year. Clockwise : M. Johnson M. Rogers N. Johnson J. Keene J. Nason F.
