Arrived at Arlington High School in the spring of 1931.
His Football Teams were always powerhouses who ruined the chances of many of their opponents. His baseball squads were always on top. In Suburban League competition Arlington WON or finished SECOND every year of its existence. Four times Arlington-coached teams made the Eastern State Baseball Tournament, winning the title in 1942.

His active career came to an end in 1944 and brought many changes in the Arlington Coaching System. Henry Toczlowski and Jim Cavalieri took over as active coaches while Fred became the Athletic Director. He developed a Freshman Junior Program and his 1944 team won the Greater Boston Championship.
