H ead Coach Tom K~dy plans to
:;end Paul Sulliva,n to Varoski's post
and to later shift Fred Balas from
guard to tackle, replacing him with
Johnny Machado.
Sullivan and
Machado have been battling all season for starting places. Sullivan
has been doing a standout job,
while Machado has shown far more
aggressiveness than any other guard
candidate. Only a junior, he is regarded as an excellent prospect for
the coming year.

There will be only one football
game of any general interest in
Lowell tomorrow-Lowell high vs.
Manchester Central, of course. The
time, 2.30. The place, Alumni
Field.

John Perry Machado is making a
great fight for a guard position on
the Lowell high club.

JOHN MACHADO
Comets

A leading candidate for a varsity guard position, John Perry
Machado is about ready to get a
starting assignment with the
Lowell high eleven. He has be:en
plugging away for the entire
season. He is often in the varsity line in practice drills. A
junior, Machado is 17 years of
age and comes from the Morey
school. He will therefore be
back next year, when he hopes
to get a starting post. Fred
Balas, Eddie Miller, Lester
Ginsberg and some of the other
guards will not be bacl,, so
Johm1y will be in a better position to assert his class.

\Veil, of course , you lrave heard it
said of the backs that they usually
get most of the cheers while the line
gets blazes if they don't get the
backs clear. I don't know who it is
that said, "Be a back and get the
headli nes, be a linema n and get the
headac hes." Whoev er it was said
a mouth ful. I have this to say about l
this line and then I am done. That
line has shown all year long to be a '
stando ut in every game played. They
have never faded once all season
and yester day was the best of the long
season . What they did was a lot and
I withou t their work the team would
never .\lave gone far.
The ends were great, Boudr eau ~nd
Bouthe llette stood out like
sore
thumb . They blocke d, tackled and
did about everyt hing you could expect
from real €nds. As for the rest of
the line: Capt. Reid ended his football in great fashion and has been
an ideal captain . My hat is off to
him. Macha do was wonde rful, both
in the line and runnin g interfe rence,
and has been a great man agains t
passes as well as out of the line and
yester day's was his best game of
footba ll. Saxon es was an ideal guard
and played his usual game. He has
been a stonew all in there and just
think, he will be with us next season. Silin played his usual steady
game and also hai; been of immen se
value to the tearn, both as a defens ive
c-enter as well as at tackle.
He
played a whale of a game

�LMen's Club Gives School T~ophy

Experts Pick Them
Capt. Reid, -Mazur, Kimball,
Macha do and Redman Are '
Given Honor Places On
Teams Selected By Five,
Coaches.
1

Five Loweli high school football players have been placed
on the honor roll of schoolboy players of one Boston newspaper, which is quite a tribute considering the usual a~ titude
of Boston writer-s and coaches is that Massachusetts is a state
confined to Boston. Although no Lowell player makE&gt;s the
all-state club as picked b-y that newspaper, five of them won
sufficient notice through their all-around playing to receive
partial recognition. They a,re: Leighton "Buddy" Kimball,
Henry Mazur, Rodney Redman, Capt. Ray Reid and John Mach2do.

The "link" that b;nds the Lowell high school and the Lowell -L
PJie:-r's C!ub. Th!s beautiful trcphy was presented Headmaster
tlenry H. Harris for the Lowell high scl100! by Joseph Janocha,
forw.er football star. on behalf of the graduate letter men last
~ignt ~ the testimonial dinner at the Elks club It will be placed
m the trophy hall and each year, b inning with the 1935 season,
the name of the football team Japtain wil e mscribed under the
football figli a :t .

These players were picked by a
committee of five coaches, appointed
llY the Boston paper to pick the best
representative schoolboy team possible, It will be remembered that
last year, Raymond Riddick, then
captain of the Lowell team, was selected at right end on the varsity
all-state team,
The fact {hat no Lowell player
made the first club is probably attl'ibutable to the fact the Lowell
tern did not play any one of the
clubs coached by the five inentors
who made the selections, Last year,
Lowell played one of the teams represented.
A line such ae Lowell's that was
not scored upon in eight games, all

against Massachusetts teams, cer- 1
tainly contains some players who
are worthy of better recognition.
Backs such as the entire collection
of Lowell ball carriers and blockers are all above the average.
Kimball was picked at his fullback post, Mazur as quarterback,
Redman as halfback, Machado as
~uard and Capt Reid as tackle,
where he played during lhe first
half of the season.
Kimball also has the distinction of
being named on another all-scholastic team. He made the honor 1·011 of
the club picked by the write!' of another Boston paper and was the only
Lowell player to be named.

TO LOWELL-UNSCORE D ON IN THE STATE:
Somebody s_a id that it couldn't be done,
But they with a chuckle, replied
That maybe it couldn't, but they would be one
In saying naught 'til they tried.
80 they buckled right in, with a trace of a grin
On faces-worried 7 (They hid it)
They started to sing as they tackled the thing
That couldn't be done and tll.ey did it.
The1·e are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one
The opposition that waits to assail yo:u;
But you buckled right in, with a bit of a grin,
And put on your cleats to go to it;
You showed the "zing" as you tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and you did it I
-With apologies to Dan Beard.

- - - - -- - - -

'!'he glory that is Lowell's will be expressed amid the enthusiastic
surroundings of school spirit, speech, song and story tonight at the
testimonial dinner of the L Men's club at the Elks Home in Warren
street. While th,ere remains little that has not been said in the paeans
of praise heaped upon the Red and Gray since its magnificent 26 to 0
triumph over Lawrence high on the holiday, tonight's outburst of a
new civic spirit is assuredly a means toward acquainting the heroes
with the fact that there is a rich reward for merit.
Lowell-unbeaten and untied in Massachusetts! The single
-defeat, at Nashua, is another of those baffling mysteries of football
as easy to explain as Vanderbilt's defeat of Alabama or Manhattan's
tie with the Holy Cross · eleven that has rolled up 260 points to Opponents' 19, but the stamp and calibre of the gridders who will be
feted tonight is such that not one would detract a whit from the
spunky Nashua team that turned the trick.
Coaches McGuirk- of Malden, Brooks of Medford, Devlin of Lawrence, McDonough of Manchester, Yarnall of Textile and Griffin of
Keith will be in the parade of well wishers. The L.Men's club several
weeks ago planned tonight's testimonial-"win, lose or draw against
'Lawrence," and so theirs is the glory, too.

"THIS ROOM IS PLEASANT"
B,- Laura E. .Richarcla

"REALITY"
We sat! beneath the stars and planned what we would doWe'd have a little cottage and perhaps a child or two·
A garden full of roses and a bench beside the wall
'
And, dreaming there, we'd never mind the storms df life at all.

                  <text>&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;This collection focuses on the life of Deolinda Mello. The photographs (and some writings) highlighted in this collection showcase her close ties with Lowell's Portuguese and immigrant communities.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biographical&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deolinda Machado Mello was born in Lowell in 1914 to Joseph (João) Perry (Pereira) and Maria (Rocha) Machado. João Perry (1886-1939) immigrated from Terceira around 1900, settled in Lowell, and worked as a weaver in the Appleton Mills. He eventually became a skilled loom fixer and was among the highest paid occupations on the shop floor in the textile industry. Maria Machado (1888-1958) immigrated one year later and also worked initially in a cotton mill. João and Maria were communicants at St. Anthony’s Church, where they married in 1906. For a few years, João and Maria lived in Ayer’s City, where there was a small number of Portuguese families, but they subsequently moved to Lincoln Street near Chelmsford Street. They later resided in the Highlands neighborhood. In addition to Deolinda, they had a daughter Mary (1908-1972), and two sons, Henry Perry (1912-1987), and John Machado (1917-1983).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deolinda received her education at Keith Academy and, after graduating, she attended Lowell State College and Boston University. She subsequently received a degree in social sciences at the University of Rhode Island. By the late 1930s, Deolinda worked as accountant at the Laganas Shoe Factory in Lowell, one of the city’s largest shoe manufacturers. She was also active in the Portuguese-American Civic League and in 1939 served as a delegate to the state convention of civic leagues. She became increasingly active at St. Anthony’s Church, notably in the Holy Rosary Sodality Society. The following year she married Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello, a furniture upholsterer who eventually operated his own upholstering business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tebert Joseph Pacheco Mello (1905-1967) was born in Terceira to Antonio and Josephine Augusta Mello. His family immigrated to the United States when he was a baby. He was a member of Saint Anthony’s Church from its founding days, an active committee member in the Holy Name Society, and served as Director of Lowell’s Portuguese American Civic League. Tebert and Deolinda had once son, Robert, who went on to serve in the US Navy, attend Newbury College, and eventually opened and ran several restaurants in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deolinda worked as a board member of the International Institute of Lowell, which provided social and educational services to the city’s immigrant communities. In 1958, she became executive director of the International Institute, a position she held for over 20 years. In 1959, Deolinda took a diplomatic trip to Portugal in 1959, where she was able to meet and interview Antonio Salazar at his summer residence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For her many years of service at the International Institute, she was honored at a testimonial dinner, attended by over 500 friends and dignitaries, and received letters of commendation from the state’s major educational and political leaders, including U.S. senators Edward Kennedy and Paul Tsongas. She died in 1988, leaving her son Robert Mello, her daughter-in-law, Charlene, and two grandchildren, Bob and Elena.</text>
