'If we work upon marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble into dust, but if we work upon immortal souls, if we imbue them with the principles, with the just fear of God and the love of fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity."
.... Daniel Webster

PREFACE
Our years at W.H.S. make up a large part of the road leading toward our life's goal. Many times it has been a hard and treacherous path, winding through difficulties and re¬ sponsibilities. The understandings we have gained in these situations should prove valuable stepping-stones as we approach adulthood. Now as these years draw to a close, we find ourselves ready to step onto the main highway of life. Our success will depend on what use we make of the knowledge, wisdom, and insight we have gained in our stay at high school. No longer shall we have the guidance of our teachers and principal. Without them we face the problems of the future. But, as graduates of so fine a school as Winchester High, we are prepared to accept, and willingly accept the challenge.

EDWARD R. BURNS
For four years it has been our privi¬ lege to know you. Your good nature, sense of humor, sympathetic under¬ standing, and unfailing friendship have made our years at Winchester High the richer. We cannot hope to repay our immeasurable debt to you in any way. We do hope that in dedicating our book to you, we in some way indicate the strength of our feeling for you.

ABERJONA STAFF
The 1957 Aberjona is the product of the coop¬ eration, imagination, and plain hard work of a great many people. Its publication has engaged the skills and talents of a variety of seniors.
Alfred Doherty, our editor, has been assisted by an energetic and alert executive committee which includes Carol Eaton, Warren Fowler and Mary Kiley. Theirs has been the task of assembling and coordinating the present year book.
Emily Allen and John Nichols have headed an advertising staff which has broken all previous records. This, we know, is no accident, but the result of a well conceived and executed campaign.
The Art Committee inspired by the chairmen Jane Bowman and Regina Mingolelli has been responsible for the new look — fresh and sharp and
modern. Carol Caputo, Mary Jean Newton, and Susan Stanwood are the talented members of this indispensible group.
Organization, preparation, and production all lead up to the most vital factor — Sales. The am¬ bitious, imaginative Subscription Staff has been well repaid for its heroic efforts. This year sales of the Aberjona hit a new high and it is a real satisfaction to all those who worked on its publi¬ cation to know that so many students are willing to support this venture. We all hope that the 1957 Aberjona comes up to expectations; that it will please, amuse, and interest you when you receive it; and that in the future it will be a touchstone to recall your years at high school so full of many memories.

To our teachers, inspiring, encouraging and guiding our every effort, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and a pledge to continue in the ways which they have opened to us. They have initiated us into the joys and satisfactions of learning and have revealed to us the heritage that is ours for the taking. They have emplanted in us the conviction that there is no greater happiness than that which results from a job well done. Our faculty has quickened in us a sense of pride in our school, our town, and our country, and they have pointed out our responsibilities as citizens. Nor can we forget that they have graciously and unstintingly support¬ ed every venture of ours, whether social, cultural or athletic, despite the time and sacrifice that their cooperation so often entailed. Their continued generosity in giving of their time, of their know¬ ledge and of themselves is a pattern for us to attempt to match in our own lives.

CLASS HISTORY
It was wonderful spending our first high school year in a building all our own, in spite of creaking stairs, peeling paint, subterranean lockers, creak¬ ing stairs, corrugated desks, warped floors, and creaking stairs. We departed with memories of Miss Bailey's course and our trip to Julius Caesar . . . "1st degree" Burns and 3rd degree equations . . . Miss Anifantis's pride and joy, The Fortune Teller . . . Vanessa Ahlfors and Emily Allen in the GIC Fashion Show ... a farewell to "Bart" and his proverbial orange . . . our undefeated basketball team and our almost undefeated football and base¬ ball teams . . . the assembly at which we had our first lesson in ratio and proportion, our class total of 108 boys to 108 girls . . . chain gangs on the way to the cafeteria . . . the many brains who left the study halls empty last period . . . class officers, Al Lynch, David Moore, Janet Lynch, and Carol Leverone . . . our last uncrashed hen parties . . . the first taste of final exams, which, if passed, sent us on our way up "the hill."
Under the leadership of Bill Mason, Roger Symmes, Mary Kiley and Mary Dowling, we set out to do bigger and better things our sophomore year. Remember . . .

CLASS PROPHECY
"It hardly seems as if time could have flown so fast, but here it is 1982 already, and we, Mary Codding and Bill Edgar (alias "Mac" and "Whit") are at the twenty-fifth Reunion of the Class of '57. This is quite a get-together with almost everyone from our class here. At the head table is our Presi¬ dent, Peter Dee, who is now known in the theatrical world of Broadway and Hollywood as "Pierre Darl¬ ing". He has starred in many of Cleverone Com¬ pany's Oscar winning movies, and has appeared recently in "Love Me Tenderly". Class Secretary, Mary Murphy, Pierre's make-up girl, has started a line of cosmetics called MM-MM (Mary Murphy — Mud Make-up). Moneybags McElholm isn't here tonight. He's been treasurer of so many organi¬ zations, he decided to retire for a cooler climate — it was getting a little too hot for him! Marie Amico and Vice-President Mike Callahan have just arrived at the head table. As predicted, they were the first graduates of 1957 to be married. Taking pictures of the officers is Christopher Michelsen, photographer at large. His specialty is pin-ups, and he uses such famous models as "Vampire" Vanessa Ahlfors, Linda "The Body" Branneman, "Curvacious" Carol Eaton, and Sally "Legs" Beal."
"It's amazing how people can change so much in twenty-five years. Both Neil Kerrigan and Dave Ambrose are now bald and they have thirteen children each. Liz Hottel has really aged since her Round Pencil Factory burned and she found the insurance sold to her by Ken Brown's Better Business Bureau was worthless. Albert "The Boss" Lynch is rolling in money, but he is being treated for ulcers, and finds that he is allergic to that "greenstuff" which he has so much of. Stevie Stone isn't the same since her electric snowplow broke and she had to really start shoveling snow
for a lining. One person who will never change is Bachelor Bill Mason who is the toast of two contirrents with all kinds of enchanting women chasing him. Wooing the women who chase after Bill is Dave "The Dog" Bergquist — (He realizes now the mistakes he made in High School and is trying to make up for them)."
"Many famous members of the class are here tonight . . . Kirby Baker, superatomic scientist . . . Whitney Smith, who gave up his citizenship to become dictator of East Zanghi . . . Bob Weaver and John Zirkel, famous golfers, who recently won the Jackie Hogan Championships . . . Helga Ham- merschmidt, diplomat from Austria to the United States . . . Leo "Blades" Callahan, Joe Cussen and John Kelleher, rival stars of the Ice Capades, -Ice Follies and Ice Chips . . . Jazz pianist Rita Amico and her accompanyist, "Muscles Moe" Russo, who plays a cool sax . . . Sandy "Soft-foot" Burr and Nancy "Light-toes" Towle, who run a school of dance to teach the new and exciting Barbaro Bounce ... Sir Bradley Ross, expert on interplan- atory explorations . . . Mademoiselle Marie "Notice the Styles" Kiley, whose fashion designs have upset all of Paris, and made Christian Dior her sidekick . . . Janet Chaffe, winning woman wrestler . . . Hot-rod Queen Andy Swan, with Judy Madden, who picks up the pieces and places bets against Andy on the side . . . Clever Cartoonist "Mad" Mary Jellison, who has a comic strip called "Jellybeans"
. . . Character Actress Sara Jane Woodward, with her publicity Manager, Dave Moore, who also coaches Tennis Star and Olympic Champion Dottie Smith (she eats Wheaties) . . . Mary Lou "Love Me True" Schumacker, first woman Governor in the state of New Jersey . . . Bob "Heartthrob" Kugler, who has recently replaced Univac . . . Pucky Perri- tano, the new Olympic weight lifting champion, replacing Jim "Hit Him" Ruma."
"While we've been talking, many more members
52
of the class have been coming in . . . Ron and Quent (which twin has the Toni) Roberts are coaches for the All American Girl's Basketball Team, which stars Mary Dowling and Alice Fitz¬ gerald — not to mention Jean Heard who is now six-foot-two . . . Richie O'Brien, with those two beautiful blondes, Mary Laird and Janet Barnard at his side, is placing bets for the 1982 Kentucky Derby.

STUDENT COUNCIL
Under the capable guidance of Mr. Meredith Cooper, the Student Council had a very successful year. Headed by its officers, President Ronald Roberts, Vice-President Paul Sullivan, Secretary Carol Eaton, Treasurer Janet Lynch, and the exe¬ cutive board, the council's first project was the selling of Sachem book covers and decals. The election of class officers was very ably handled by the council.
The student body chose Ron Roberts to represent WHS at Student Government Day at the State House. Also, delegates were sent to the conven¬ tions of The Eastern Massachusetts Division of Student Councils in the fall and spring. With the aid of representatives from Student Council, the students chose to adopt a standard, Winchester High School ring. The cafeteria squad has been working very effectively throughout the year. A dance late in March put the finishing touches to a successful and most profitable year.

RED CROSS
Once again this year the Junior Red Cross, under the valuable guidance of Miss Helen Bronson, achieved success in each undertaking Over one hundred and ten dollars was collected during the annual membership drive last October. Over thirty representatives and other students filled nearly 6,000 Christmas Seal envelopes for the Middlesex Health Association. Also, prior to Christmas, over 2,500 holiday cards were collected by the home room representatives for the patients at Bedford Hospital. Magazine subscriptions and covers were given to the Winchester Hospital, and fifty dollars was also contributed to the National Children's Fund.
Officers for the year were President, Bill Mason; Vice-President, Paul Sullivan; Secretary, Mary Laird; Treasurer, Mary Dowling; Publicity Chair¬ man, Binkie Clark.
The Red Cross wishes to express its thanks to those students who are not members of the organi¬ zation but who helped make this year the success it has been. Although it is impossible to name each homeroom representative because of limited space, it should nevertheless be mentioned that the representatives are the backbone of Red Cross and deserve a great deal of credit for the fine job they did this year.

The Red and Black, published nine times annual¬ ly by the Juniors and Seniors of Winchester High School, has been praised highly during the past nineteen years in which it has been published. Important announcements, interesting feature arti¬ cles, sports, and social news are included in this publication, and it is issued with very little help from the faculty. The Red and Black advisors, Mr. Fitts and Miss Skornik, along with Editor-In-Chief Tom Hill and Associate Editor, Dorothy Smith, did a fine job in putting together the staff and report¬ ers to publish nine copies during 1956. Then the staff turned over all responsibility to the Juniors for the year of 1 957.

C. Eaton, L. Branneman, D. Smith, W. Smith.
Scholarship, character, leadership and service; these are the attributes necessary to qualify for the National Honor Society, the highest scholastic honor of Winchester High School. Every year, five percent of the Junior class, and fifteen percent of the Sen¬ ior class is picked by the combined vote of the student body and faculty. In May, there is an induction cere¬ mony. Miss Bronson and Mr. Fitts are the advisors for this group.

QUILL & SCROLL
The WHS order of National Quill and Scroll was added in 1949, and is open to young journalists in the top third of their class who have shown outstanding accomplishment in some field of journalism. This honor is be¬ stowed on the lucky journalists during the spring. National Quill and Scroll also aids the publication of high school publications by annual contests and constructive criticism.

NATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY
Troupe 729, through the seven years of its exis¬ tence, has brought into its membership some really fine Thespians! This year was by no means an exception. Membership in the National Thespian Society is earned by putting one hundred hours of
time into any phase of dramatics. Actually, acting produces only a small portion of Thespians. Many of the Thespians earn their membership by work¬ ing behind the scenes of the dramatic offerings.

CURTAIN AND CUE
Firmly settled in the new High School, Curtain and Cue, under the capable direction of Mr. Morse, faced a full schedule. The club presented its second ONE ACT PLAY NIGHT, with the seniors scoring highly. The senior play “High Window" rated first, and director Nancy Towle and her assistant Cindy Dunn received best director medals. A Hollywood touch was added to this occasion when “oscars" were awarded to an all star cast of four. The winners of these statues were: Carol Leverone, Sara Jane Woodward, Peter Dee and Don Seaver. Once again Christmas Night at WHS was presented. A play “Bright Star," written and directed by faculty member John McLaughlin and a show-stopping monologue by sophomore, Linda Baker gave the show an interesting and novel format.
Make-up chairman, Mary Murphy, successfully held classes for members interested in that phase of work. The school radio station was in full operation and opened a new field of work, radio drama. As usual, the club sent a play to the State Drama Festival, anxious to repeat the success of “56." To the enjoyment of many members, the club shared the responsibilities of the Vaudeville Show for the first time. The four meetings of the
club were held, and this active year was closed with the annual Spring Apprentice Plays. The Club was under the leadership of President, Peter Dee; Vice-President, Dorothy Smith; Secretary, Suzanne Simpson; and Treasurer, Paul Sullivan.

THRIFT ASSOCIATION
4
The Thrift Association aims to develop an inter¬ est in saving and to establish better habits of thrift. Under the guidance of Miss Daniels, in her second year as advisor, the organization had an¬ other very successful year of banking.
Seen busily at work every Tuesday morning checking the homerooms to see that everything was done properly were President, Ken Brown and his assistants, Jim Wakefield and Phil Dryer. In room 1 12, Secretary Linda Branneman and Assist¬ ant Secretaries, Carley Clark and Donna Woodcock compiled the school banking totals which were typed by Alice Fitzgerald.
Once again the Thrift Association was extremely fortunate in having an efficient group of home¬ room bankers and a cooperative student body to help in making this a very fine year.
66
TRAFFIC SQUAD
"All down traffic use the South stairway, please", and, "Sorry, these stairs are for up traffic only", were familiar cries around the school corri¬ dors during the first two terms. The members of Mr. Steven's traffic squad really had their work cut out for them this year, due to the increased number of students and the re-arrangement of traffic, but they stood by their posts faithfully and soon had a reasonable semblance of order.
Some of these traffic officers also doubled as cafeteria patrolmen, a job that requires quite a bit of tact and diplomacy, as well as sternness, at times. There have been no "cutting in line" com¬ plaints this past year, and cafeteria traffic has ceased to be the problem it used to be in previous years, thanks, in a great measure, to the efforts of these squad members.
Let's hope for the same efficiency and high standards in next year's squad.

SCIENCE CLUB
The Science Club this year, with the capable guidance of Mrs. Travis, was off to an early start. At the first meeting Bradley Ross was elected President, Larry Fulton, Vice President and Steve Root, Secretary-Treasurer. Elected to the Execu¬ tive Board were Harry Preble, Kirby Baker, Richard Niles, and Dave Hopkins.
At the second meeting several students gave demonstrations in the fields of chemistry and physics. In December the club took a worthwhile trip to the Monsanto Chemical Plant in Everett. Films, talks, a field trip to a light bulb factory, and more demonstrations are scheduled for the remainder of the year, which will be climaxed by a science fair. The winners of this fair will repre¬ sent WHS in the state fair at M.l.T.

MATH CLUB
The Math Club, under the able direction of its new faculty advisor, Mr. Waite, adapted a new policy this year. In addition to the regular meet¬ ings and their sticklers, the executive board headed by president Kirby Baker, and secretary Harry Preble, decided that a few field trips to nearby institutions to see such instruments as computers would help liven up the club. There is a possibility that the Math and Science Clubs will get together and sponsor an assembly on the International Geophysical Year. In the Spring the Junior and Senior enthusiasts will choose four lucky wizards to go to the Math Contest — the spice of a mathematician's life!

PHILOSOPHY CLUB
Some one hundred philosophers gathered month¬ ly this past year to be entertained not only by Mr. Skerry, but by interesting speakers as well. The group was headed by David Pingree, President; Bonnie Bees, Vice President; Joan Thompson, Secretary; and Betsy Snell, Assistant Secretary. Taking advantage of our local talent, the club began activities by having Quentin Roberts relate his summer experience in Germany as a student of the American Field Service Program. A question and answer period followed his talk. For the second meeting, Mr. Jengunas, a postal inspector from Boston, spoke of his experiences with crim¬ inals in connection with the mails. The Philosophy Club was honored to have the famous Salom Rizk lecture on his poverty-stricken life in Syria and his difficulty in proving his U. S. citizenship. Such an appreciative viewpoint of the U. S. and a true knowledge of democracy as he possessed, is seldom found in any one person. Pamphlets epitomizing
his book The Syrian Yankee were passed out to those present. Another country was heard from through the efforts of Helga Hammerschmidt, our Austrian exchange student, who compared the conditions and customs of Austria and the U. S. Several other meetings took place later in the year, and altogether, the entire program was a great success.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS
"Eh bien, on va commencer," and voila- — another meeting of the Cercle Francois is under way. Headed this year by President Kirby Baker, Vice- Presidente Elizabeth Hottel, and Se¬ cretaire Ann Moriarty, the would-be Frenchmen are again enjoying films, talks, slides, and plays, all "en fran- cais," of course. By interspersing a few Canadian movies with the usual more Gallic activities, the club got off to a good start. At Christmas, some chansons de Noel added to the tra¬ ditional French gaiety of the season. Talks in French, recordings of French plays and music, and a party were also on the agenda. One accomplishment of the Cercle has been to make the weekly French magazine, Paris-Match, available to all French students. With the assistance of Moliere, Victor Hugo, and Madame Genicot, the groupe should raise the Tricouleur and la Belle Langue to even greater glory in Winchester this year.

ORCHESTRA
This year the W.H.S. Orchestra under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Withington and Mr. Janner enjoyed an interesting and rewarding season. At the annual Christmas program, they gave a fine performance and added much to the evening with their spirited Christmas carols. Then, combined with Arlington High's Orchestra, they presented an interesting concert that was enjoyed by all with music that appealed to every taste. They journeyed to Arling¬ ton with the Octette and repeated the performance. These double concerts were as successful as the later Spring Concert. W.H.S. can well be proud of this fine group of musicians.

BAND
The enrollment of this year's Winchester High School Band has the greatest number of players than ever before. The increase is largely due to the number of Freshmen who have been added to fill the places of the many Seniors who will leave this year . Along with the Tumblettes the band gave many fine exhibitions on the field at all our football games. They also added much spirit and excitement to the Tech Tourney. The winter and spring months found them preparing for the coming Spring Concert.
This year we have been fortunate in having as our leaders — Mr. Withington, and his very able assistant Mr. Murray. Student officers are Tom Hooper, President; Doug Gowdy, Vice-President; Larry Longworth, Treasurer; Phil Dryer, Librarian.

MIXED GLEE CLUB
Again this year the Mixed Glee Club has been under the direction of Mr. Wendell S. Withington and has enjoyed a successful year. The first appearance of the Mixed Glee Club was at the Christmas program. They finished the program by singing “The Night Before Christmas." This was the highlight of the show and was enjoyed by all.
This year the club has been rebuilding its forces. Although it was greatly weakened by graduation, a large number of sophomores came in to fill the ranks. A great deal of credit goes to the few boys who had to carry the bass part and the four girls who stepped in to sing the tenor part. Other per¬ formances of the group were the Christmas Assem¬ bly and the Spring Concert. Much credit must go to Jackie Hogan, the accompanist, and also to Mr. Withington, for his able directing.

Under the direction of Mr. Wendell S. Withing¬ ton, the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs took part in the Christmas Night at WHS program. In addition they will perform at the State Music Festival this spring. Although both groups are quite small, each has worked hard to present the same quality of music for which WHS has always been noted.

Radio station WHSR-FM is a completely equipped broadcasting unit duly licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, operating as a 10 watt educational station at 91.9 megacycles on the FM band. The studio and transmitting facilities are located in the Speech Arts room. This station was made possible by a cooperative effort of school and community. The major portion of the transmitting equipment was a gift of the Win¬ chester Rotary Club.
This year WHSR operated from October to June on a two or three day schedule each week while school was in session. In addition to the regular programming many sports and other special events
were broadcasted. Under the guidance of general manager Mr. Morse, the WHSR staff consisted of two student station managers, Dave Pingree and Ruth Ann Leander, and five departments headed by students. During the 1956-57 school year over two hundred students actively participated in WHSR, while another hundred were working as apprentices in the various departments.
WHSR is unique in the educational pattern of American secondary schools and offers a challenge to the students in the study of communication arts. It has great potential as a new medium for in¬ creasing the effectiveness of school and community relationships.

The beginning of the 1956-57 sea¬ son saw Winchester High's Octette hard at work preparing for their initial performance at the Red Feather Cam¬ paign dinner. Later appearance in¬ cluded singing at the Congregational Senior Forum Dance, and two Christ¬ mas performances. The coming of springtime brought the State Music Festival, Spring Concert, and the an¬ nual WHS Vaudeville show. These eight capable young ladies could always be counted upon to ably repre¬ sent WHS.

With the coming of fall the Key¬ notes were once again chosen, and the capable eighteen were put to work. Their fine voices added much to the musical side of W.H.S. Under the direction of Mr. Withington, the Key¬ notes appeared in the Spring Concert and again in Vaudeville. They are also preparing for the State Music Festival, and are hoping to continue their fine record.

LILIOM
All the world's a stage, and the new auditorium was all the world to us when we christened it with its first Junior-Senior Play, "Liliom", the story of a young carnival barker who hid his true feelings under a mask of arrogance and self-assurance. He lived this way until he met and married Julie, a young girl who loved him with such faithful and sincere devotion that after years of heartbreak he revealed his true character . . . even though after death.
We knew this production would be ambitious and far above the average high school venture, but we were willing to gamble. However, from the mo¬ ment that Peter made his boisterous entrance, fol¬ lowed by Micki, Eileen, Judy, Carol and Agnes, through the challenging death scene up to the tender closing where Clev explained to Blanche that love can overcome many obstacles, it was obvious Miss Trickett's efforts were not in vain; we had a hit on our hands!
Peter and Carol were top-notch in the leading parts, the audience remarked especially on the surprisingly mature and realistic character portray¬ als of these two in their long and difficult roles. Equally applauded were Mary Jean, who sparked the stage with her vim and vitality as Marie, the naive peasant friend of Julie and Ellen, who made her portrayal of Mrs. Muskat, the shrewish but sympathetic owner of the carousel more than mem¬ orable. Dana appeared as Hungary's answer to Benrimo and Sara Jane, the photographic studio owner, once again displayed her enviable acting talent. Lyn and Greg showed admirable strength
"Stocking size, please."
as the stretcher bearers and Jackie was adequate as Ficsur, the crafty villain who never dealt a winning hand. Bill made his role of the pompous porter, Wolf, one of the play's highlights and Vinnie, as the cashier, made a "sure-fire" debut. Suzanne and Cindy appeared effectively as the angels who escorted Peter to David's high court where he met well-dressed Mike MacDonald and Dave Guarente, who made history by appearing in a dual role. In the closing scene, which took place sixteen years later, Blanche portrayed Julie's young daughter in fine style. When the curtain fell for the last time and the applause reigned loud and long, we knew we had presented a show above and beyond the call. We were proud of it and we'll never forget it.
A future academy award winner.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The Athletic Association is what makes the sports program at WHS run smoothly. By means of rallies, award assemblies, and publicity, the AA tries to instill a spirt of enthusiasm and coopera¬ tion throughout the student body. John McCor¬ mack as President, and Vin Murphy as Vice- President, did outstanding jobs and showed capable leadership. This year the auditorium was finished and it made things much easier for the AA. The annual AA sponsored Fall Sports Dance and Mid- Winter Dance were held with unusual success. At the Mid-Winter Dance John Chapin was the surprise disk-jockey and he did a fine job spinning the hits. Mr. Burns, with his friendly, easy going, and inimitable manner, was tops as Faculty Super¬ visor. Once more the AA did a great job in stimu¬ lating school spirit at Winchester High.

G.I.C
Every girl in the school is automatically a mem¬ ber of the Girls' Intramural Council and is eligible for all of its activities. These activities cover a wide range of interests, from basketball and tennis tournaments to dances and auctions.
Due to conflicts with a heavy sports schedule and the plans of other school organizations, the customary fall GIC dance was postponed until March this year; therefore, almost all of its annual activities took place during the spring.
Miss Barnes, faculty advisor; Linda Branneman, president; Brenda Cunningham, vice president; Janet Monro, secretary; Mary Laird, treasurer; and the executive board helped to make the year a successful one.

FIELD HOCKEY
With several years of mediocre play behind us, we began hockey this fall determined to come out on top. Enthusiasm shown by the players during practice, and spirit in games were two of the ingredients which led to success, for we finished the season undefeated. Captained by Stevie Stone, who set the pace in scoring with a total of eleven goals, we marched through seven wins and one tie with our arch rival, Arlington. Stick-handling for the forward line were Mary Dowling, Betsy Snell, Stephie Hersey, and Judy Dallin. They were backed up by halfbacks Anne Moriarty, Carly Clark, Ann Luitweiler, and Linda Branneman and
fullbacks Judy Dalrymple, Sandy Lawson, Nancy Pizzano, and Molly Devany. Our goalie, Carol Fisher, was only scored on once in all eight games.
Coach Mildred Barnes worked hard with us for two weeks before the first game as well as throughout the season. Both she and the team deserve the fine record that was made.
The field hockey team of 1957 will have a repu¬ tation to maintain, and with a core of ten two-year varsity players returning, they'll have the power to do so. Under Ann Luitweiler, next year's cap¬ tain, they will go far.

CHEERLEADERS
"Hey, hey, what do you say? We're right behind you all the way!" That's the familiar yell and feeling among Winchester's peppy cheerleaders, co-captained by Elizabeth Hottel and Rita Amico. The cheerleaders were on the job from the Concord kickoff in September straight through to Tech Tourney time in March. For the second consecu¬ tive year Winchester and Woburn cheerleaders had a party the night before the Thanksgiving game, and prepared cheers done jointly at the big game. New black blazers topped off the red skirts donned for frosty football weather, and when basketball season stepped in smart black middies over long white sleeved blouses were revealed. It's been said that W.H.S.'s secret to success is its teamwork. The teamwork meant is the winning combination of players, fans, and cheerleaders. In many a game the extra ounce of fight needed to win has been given by the spirit and yells of the cheerlead¬ ers and fans. The innumerable practices out on the field and in the gym and corridor, the pep huddles before the game, cheering at rallies, the final banquet, receiving silver megaphone trinkets, and being able to represent W.H.S. are among the cheerleaders' happiest memories.

VARSITY CLUB
The Varsity Club, under the able direction of Coach Henry Knowlton, is made up of all the male athletes who earn a varsity letter in any sport. Each year it is the policy of the club to present some activity or show which raises money to help pay for the movies taken of the football games. In the past, some of these activities were a Donkey Basketball game and an exhibition by the Spring- field Gym Team. The main function of the club is to encourage good sportsmanship and fair play.
The club this year is headed by John Chapin, President; Mike Callahan, Vice President; Roger Symmes, Secretary; and Harold Ekstrom, Treasurer.

FOOTBALL
The Sachems got off to a slow start this year with a 25-13 loss to Concord. However, this loss fired the team up considerably, and after juggling the line-up somewhat, Coach Knowlton led the team to an 1 8-0 victory over Stoneham and a 32-13 run-away over Cambridge Latin. One of the most unfortunate incidents of the season came when John Chapin injured his knee during the Cambridge Latin game and was unable to return to the team for the remainder of the season. Sparked on by the determination and
hard running of Captain "Moe" Russo, the Sachems downed Lexington 14-7, Melrose 19-6, Reading 19-6 and Bel¬ mont 25-0. Then came the big game of the season with Wakefield, the Middlesex League crown at stake. Although apparently out-played, Wakefield defeated our warriors 12-6. The schedule ended with the Sachems squeaking by Woburn 14-13 in a thrilling Turkey Day battle. Thus the season ended successfully with seven wins against two losses, and a total of 160 points scored for and 82 against.

CROSS COUNTRY
Captained by Ken Brown, and coached by Tom Morse, this year's cross-country team went on to win more fame for Winchester. They won all their dual meets and the Pilgrim Divisional Champ¬ ionship. Then at the Middlesex League Meet they were defeated by Newton. But the next week they captured the State Class C Title and the right to appear in the New Englands for the second year in a row. At Waterville, Maine the New England Title fell to the Sachem harriers. This was the first time in history that a team has ever won the title for two years. It was also the lowest score ever recorded by a team. Following captain Brown were Harry Ekstrom, Mike Callahan, Danny O'Con¬ nell, Bill Saurman, Don Seaver, Bill Emerson, Charlie Clifton, Quentin Roberts, and Robin Carlson.
The JV's captained by Dave VanUmmerson won all their meets and were also the champions of the Pilgrim Division and Middlesex League.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL
Prospects for a fine season were indicated by the large turnout of girls for the intramural program. Approximately 250 girls participated in round robin tournaments. Of these players, 100 answered the call for varsity & J. V. practice seasons. This number of aspirants was reduced to a squad of twenty-five.
The varsity team included Capt. Mary Dowling and seniors Al Fitzgerald, Stevie Stone, Linda Branneman, Mary MacNalley, Anne Moriarty, and Judy Dalrymple; juniors Betsey Snell, Linda Manimon, Carley Clark, and Sandy Lawson.
The strong J. V. Team was headed by co-captains Ann Neville and Jane Overacker. Other forwards were Sherrie McNeill, Stephie Hersey, Judy Dallin, Carol Fisher, Ann Luitwieler, and Marcia Scott. Guards were Mollie Devaney, Prudy Kimball, Roberta Stone, Marcia Smith, Connie Marshall, Debbie Jope, and Elaine Golden.
Both teams went through a tough seven game schedule and emerged with an undefeated season. The varsity team demonstrated time and again that it had what it takes in a clutch situation. Four games were closely contested up until the fourth quarter when the Winchester team would pull away and go on to victory. The tremendous balance of the team was a deciding factor in all of these games. The scoring spark was shared by all the forwards. Particular mention should be given to Mary Dowling who averaged 16 points per game and Betsey Snell who had a 13 point average. Outstanding re¬ bounding and interceptions were made by Linda Branneman, Sandy Lawson and Carley Clark.
The J. V. Team had outstanding shooters in Sherrie McNeill, Ann Neville, Judy Dallin, and Stephie Hersey. Roberta Stone, Mollie Devaney, and Prudy Morton were fine guards.

HOCKEY
The WHS 1956-57 hockey team had a very successful season, finishing first in the Northeastern Conference of the North Shore League. They again participated in the State Hockey Tournament, winning two over-time games before bowing out in the semi-final round. Coach Finigan's very able work in direct¬ ing the team was in a large measure responsible for this fine showing. Captain Leo Callahan, the third highest school boy scorer in the state, was an inspiring leader and always worked hard for a victory. One of the highlights this team will long remember is the 3-2 victory over Lynn English, which was that teams only defeat in two years of league competition. Most of the varsity players graduate this year, but there are fine pros¬ pects for next season with the many remaining members of the squad and some excellent material from the freshman team.
The cheerleaders, led by Captain Janet Chaffe, were at every game and thrilled the audience at Lynn and Boston with fine exhibitions.

BOYS' BASKETBALL
Capt. Mike Callahan
The 1957 basketball team carried on the tradi¬ tion of outstanding Winchester basketball squads as it posted a record of twenty victories and three losses. Under the able leadership of Coach Phil¬ lips and Captain Mike Callahan, the Sachems tied archrival Belmont for the Middlesex League championship. Besides Callahan, Mr. Phillips had Roger Symmes and John Chapin as returning letter- men around whom he built another highly success¬ ful team.
Dave Bergquist, Quent and Ronny Roberts were other senior members whose contributions to the success of the team were invaluable. Doug Thom¬ son, and Hank Schumacher were the other letter winners of this year's squad.
High point of the season was the 55 to 47 victory over Belmont in the last league game of the season, which enabled the Sachems to reign with Belmont as Co-champions. Winchester's fine seasonal record permitted the boys to enter the Tech Tourna¬ ment, where after victories over Roslindale and South Boston, they lost to Belmont by one point in the semi-final round. In losing, Winchester won acclaim for its never-say-die attitude, when the boys fought back from a 14 point deficit to go ahead in the last period.

GIRLS' TENNIS
As soon as the nets are up on the Packer Courts the racqueteers will be out practicing. Having lost only one member from last year's team, Captain Ann Buros plans to lead the team through a suc¬ cessful season with the help of Carley Clark, Sue Russell, Brenda Cunningham, Noel Gove, Micky Doherty and Stevie Stone, all previous varsity mem¬ bers. Further improvements will be made in the team with sophomores Sherrie McNeil and Ann Smith stepping in. Future prospects look good with the help of Diane Coles and Gail Pettingell.
Dottie Hills has again consented to give up her time and coach the '57 team, which hopes for an undefeated season. The usual opponents will be Belmont, Concord, Malden, Melrose, and Arlington.

BOYS' TENNIS
Mr. McGhee this year steps into the active tennis shoes of Mr. Fitts to coach the Winchester Varsity Tennis team. Last year missing the state title by one point and pulling upsets never pulled before, Mr. Fitt's boys, captained by the able Bob Becker, set a fast pace for this year's crew. Among those returning to form part of the varsity are Captain David Moore, Ricky Smith, Bob Dickey, Doug Gowdy, David Usher and Donald Beck. Dan Scott, hot from the varsity of Tabor Academy, is expected to hold the second or third position, perhaps playing number one doubles.
The highlights of the forthcoming season will be the Massachusetts State Tournament, the Intra¬ mural Spring Tournament, and the matches against Andover, Belmont, Newton and Groton. The many away-trips are also eagerly awaited (no reference to the fine Parker Courts) to combine travel with tennis. But traveling faster on the courts than off, the team can equal last year's record and even better it.

The girl's softball team, under the capable cap¬ tainship of Alice Fitzgerald for the second consecu¬ tive year, will try to better their previous season's record of five wins, three losses. With four starting seniors, Alice Fitzgerald, Mary Dowling, Micky McNally, and Norma Crockett and five juniors, Ann Luitweiler, Stephanie Hersey, Betsey Snell, Judy Dallin, and Carol Fisher once again returning to the lineup, Coach Mildred Barnes will have a strong core on which to build the team. This core will be strengthened by the addition of many promising sophomores. Following the regular schedule of games, the girls say that their toughest competition came from Arlington, Malden, and Lexington.

BASEBALL
When the air turns warmer and the snow is all melted, Coach Provinzano will start making daily trips from the junior high to the high school. On this year's team there will be six of last year's starting nine. There will be three gaping holes left by Joe Bellino, Captain Bobby Haggerty, and Junior Quill. These three holes will be extremely hard to fill, but it is hoped with the experience of the other six men, the “rookies" will have no trou¬ ble acclimating themselves. A strong pitching staff is also in the picture. With the capable services of John Chapin still with the team, and with the addition of Don Flynn and Craig Daven¬ port from the Junior Varsity, Winchester will have to look up to no one in this department. With the experience of one championship under their belts and with the help of the six returning “veterans", the Middlesex League titleholders should retain their title here at Winchester this year.

GOLF
Fore! That was the war cry of the WHS Golf Team as they took to the links this spring. After getting off to a slow start last year, the team improved rapidly. The Sachems, coached by Mr. Otis Leary, were one of the best WHS teams to hit the fairways. Returning this year were John Zirkel, Bob Weaver, Bill Schmink, Pete Lindvall, John Fitzgerald, and Lyn Olmstead. Others who bolstered the squad were Denny Keane, Dave Pingree, Warren Fowler, and Larry Templeman.
As before, the squad took lessons from the pro at the Winchester Country Club and played their home matches there.
This year's opponents were Wakefield, Woburn, Reading, Melrose, and Brookline.

TRACK
This season promises to bring an experienced and well balanced track squad to the cinders for W. H. S. The ten returning lettermen plus a depth of returning Jay Vee's will be going all out for the school and for Captain Harold (The Swift Swede) Ekstrom.
The men to watch out for will be Joe Cussen and Vin Murphy in the low hurdles, Bob Kugler in the high hurdles and high jump, Dan Doherty in the 440, Captain Ekstrom in the 880 and Ken Brown in the mile. The field events will be headed by Bill Mason throwing the javelin, Dave Bergquist hurling the discus and Bill Edgar putting the shot.
Concord and Belmont will be the teams to beat as the Sachems strive for the Middlesex League Crown.
