This judgement becomes more striking when one considers the areas of TQ , 'I' influence which felt the wisdom of his counsel and direction. Through the most difficult years of upheavel, war, persecution, and famine, the late beloved Holy Father Pope Pius Xll found the key to each and every situation. Whether 53' 4 ff he spoke to a group of highly trained electricians or to the simple multitudesg whether he conversed with leaders of nations or with the ordinary citizeng whether he chatted with rich or poor, young or old, it mattered notg for in this KKKy outstanding figure of the 20th century a word of encouragement, instruction or simple greeting can be found for all men of all classes in all circumstances. f,fiziAK'L ln this light, the theme of the l959 Shepherd is carried out recognizing fi fi that this saintly,- scholarly, humble Pontiff typifies the words of the New Testament, "All things to all men." tv I 3-fs I In , gf- .gig f.

"The teacher who draws his inspiration from fatherhood, whose aim is to develop beings similar to himself, will form his pupils not only by precept, but also by the example of his own life. lf the con- trary should be true, then his efforts are merely, as St. Augustine says, those of a 'merchant of words', and not of a fashioner of souls . .

This study should be well integrated and compre- hensive, You must seek the truth, struggle to possess it, and finally, you must have the will to make your actions conform to that truth."

Pope Pius Xll, June 4, l955. Oklahoma. The annual musical production of the dra- matic groups of Archbishop Stepinac and Good Counsel Academy continued the long line of sparkling performances witnessed over the years. Once again the combined efforts of both schools brought a rousing ovation from those who were fortunate enough to be in the audience at one of the six presentations. There surely can be no denying that hard work and sacrificed time do bring results. Although there is an immediate difficulty to face when a high school group attempts a Broadway success, namely, comparison, the l959 production of Oklahoma in the Major Bowes' Auditorium brought accolades of approval. Helen Dwyer, again returning for her third successful year, gave an excellent por- trayal ofthe flirty western belle, Laurey. ln the male lead, Bill Quinn, after rising to a major role, shone as the aloof cavalier of the old west. Working together with an easy-going western style, a tint of Broadway showing forth, the couple proved themselves worthy of a promi- nent place in the magical realm behind the footlights. Another of the outstanding characters, Jud, was presented by Tom Phillips, himself a native Oklahoman. His dastardly, bedraggled appearance, coupled with his true to life southern drawl enhanced the show with the necessary local color. Betsy Cohane, as Ado Annie, did an excel- lent job in presenting the lighter moments to the overall production. As Will, the lovestruck country lad, Dick Nagle proved his abilities in the combined roles of singer, dancer and actor, and in the administration of the Okla- Stage Crew Front Row: J. McKenna, D.

His bizarre costume complemented by mustache and beard gave the audience an unforgettable picture of the Persian peddler. Lucie Toedtman, as Aunt Eller, filled the role of the warm and vigorous farm woman. Another of the elders, Andrew Carnes, was the character ably enacted by Phil Rice. Phil gave a realistic interpretation of the over- zealous father and the blatant, justice minded judge: For Elizabeth Maher this was her first major performance and as the laughing Gertie Cummings she played the part admirably. The farm hands, lke, Fred and Slim were played by Walter Breede, John Benjamin and Vincent Cremona, respectively. This trio of happy-go- lucky Oklahomans artfully added color and vigor to the production. John Sferra, whose comical performance last year proved to be a lasting remembrance returned to fill the role of the belligerent Marshal. The grandest feature by far was the star studded chorus. A great deal of praise is well leserved by the members of both the boys' ind girls' chorus. The true spirit of Oklahoma vas most effectively brought out by this en- ,emble especially during the last scene with he final swing of "Oklahoma", Direction of the dancers was again handled ry the most competent Mr. Raymond La Bru. roving his exceptional ability as a choreogra- iher he coached his dancing group to a status if high excellence. The foremost of his chievements was the team of Ginny Yans nd Karl Johanson who so artistically per- ormed in the Dream Sequence. Outstanding as usual in the thespian ndeavor was the musical direction of Father Villiam McGann. The orchestra showed their xellence both during the play and in the- vertures previous to both acts. The Stepinac rchestra welcomed the augmentation from 7 91- Laurey's nightmare. ,F"The farmer and the cowhand should be friendsnf t ts sushi "Wanna dance, Ma'am?" L, Toedtman, W.

The young ladies from these schools enhanced the performances splendidly. A great aid to the on-stage actors was the stage crew. Their emphasis on precision, silence and speed was readily exemplified by the efficient handling of the various sets. Also present in quality were the electricians and set designers, giving their all to provide superior staging for Oklahoma. At the head of these groups were the principal contributors to the success: Walt Breede, Larry Dirksen and Edgar Michels. Walt, who gave himself so wholeheartedly ful- filled the triple role of student director, set designer and supporting principal. The in- separable team of Michels and Dirksen proved themselves to be a mainstay of the production and ably directed their crews with the assist- ance of Joe Pitaro and Brady Garber.

A word of commendation is lue also to the wardrobe mistresses for their ssistance to the cast.

The Dance Band under the leadership of Dennis DeLuca leaned to- ward Jazz and Swing with a discrimil nating view on Rock and Roll. Dennis proved his competency by forming a social orchestra ranking among those of the highest caliber. Due to the fact that this year's play was presented in April it was impos- sible to assemble a Spring Concert worthy of past ones. Through the years at Stepinac, Music and Fr. McGann have gone together but little time has been given to praise this man for the endless efforts and sacrifices he has put into the department. Fr. McGann Front Row: Father William McGann, J.

It contributes such varied activities in the musical field that, as one may well imagine it attracts students. But it is not only the members it draws, it is the high standard of production that gives it preeminence over other similar programs. Dance Band G. Cicatelli, M. Pugliese, M. Truglio, D. De Luca.

Had it not been for the photographic efforts of Brother Bernardine it is highly improbable that any noteworthy pictures would have appeared. The coordination and arrangement of the ominous mountains of material was efficiently carried out by co-editors Tom McDonald and Frank Chisari, The long hours and lost holidays spent by these boys facili- tated the early issuance and excellent caliber of the book. The all important financial aspect of the effort was capably handled by business editor Joe Glinn. He and his assistants incessantly labored to solicit the essential bill paying medicine-money. Art editor Walt Breede generously lent his talents to the Shepherd. Thanks to Walt and his contemporaries the theme was well supplemented artistically. Finally the active enthusiasm of the student body aided in the publication of a yearbook not to be obliter- ated by the grandeur of the lOth Anniversary issue but one which will bring back pleasant memories of old friends and will long be remembered as one of Stepinac's finest.

The Phoenix L.ast year's successful return of Stepinac's literary publication, "The Phoenix", has led-its moderator, Father Bernard McMahon, to expand the size and variety of this year's issue, The acquisition of a new photo offset printing press will enable the school to print the publication itself, resulting in the production of more copies at a minimum cost. This is a tribute to Father McGowan. The position of editing the issue was handed to Francis Buckley, who did a fine iob in accumulating and directing a very capable staff of associate editors. These include Francis Chisari and Robert Waters who edited short stories and poetry. Essays were judged by Eric Rambusch and Alan MacDonald. Kevin Keogh chose the best foreign language articles, including the translation of a T. S. Eliot poem into six different languages. Walter Breede was responsible for the art illustra- tions and Robert Preston edited the cultural articles. Entries dealing with sports were handled by Francis Kelly while Peter Hughes and Vincent Cremona took care of the humorous offerings. With the aid of Father McMahon, Buckley and his staff were able to choose the best of the articles submitted, resulting in a top-notch publication of Stepinac talent. During the winter, "The Phoenix" sponsored two contests. R. Michael Jones and Michel Kuwahara, both of senior year, placed first and second respec- tively, in the short story contest.

This year the three groups that comprise the voice and representation of the student body strived for higher things in their field of concern. School officers, elected in May of last year so that they could assume their duties immediately at the begin- ning of a new year, represented the main organ of appeal for those who wished to present their suggestions for consideration by the faculty. In their capacity as the official representatives of Stepinac, these officers not only pro- vided the l.iaison between students and administration, but also between school and those with whom Stepinac came into contact as well. Theirs was the task of weighing the desirability of stu- dents' requests and presenting them in a favorable light to faculty officials, and of offering to those outside the school an example of the Stepinac man. The representative body of the school, the Senior Senate, strives throughout the year to air the prob- lems and wishes of the classes through their elected representatives. The delegates from each homeroom in senior year, along with the leading officers of the underclassmen met regularly to thrash out the sometimes knotty problems of student govern- ment. ln this body, the highest form of that type of democracy peculiar to school life finds its expression. Striv- ing to obtain better circumstances always, their motto was well fulfilled this year as they constantly pushed "higher." Discipline and "conduct befitting a Stepinac man" was upheld in the cor- ridors and on school grounds through the efforts of the student councillors. Chosen to be members of the Council because they are outstanding in their classes, these men extended their efforts to achieve a higher sense of courtesy and order. Not to be regarded as merely "police action" their activ- ities helped to bring to Stepinac this year a genuine spirit of cooperation and unity. ln so doing, they met, to the highest extent, the demands placed upon them as members of the Student Council. 86 3 K K ,K mx I S 2 S , rf Q? mx S3 1 Q K Q .x. .3 . ww Q A ' W' I xv Ha' sg ss Q IWW: h V 'ffl s Q ,,'.l m Q . x ,ax . .. :J . 5 X , fi g Q t X Q K .N gf Q Lx . bvlx 7 w A im' AN Qin A ' QW Q X A"h i 'Nm , 1 Q amy . x g f . .Q-Q l 54 'li K ,.

Weekly meetings, planned to For those students wishing to further develop their knowledge of this field, the Electronics Club meets every Friday afternoon. Its forty members are instructed on the principles of electronics, the use of technical equipment and are given demonstrations on improvements which have come out recently. ln addition to the instruction, the members are encouraged to construct an appa- ratus or perform some experimentation. Such exhibits are demonstrated by the students to the rest of the members so that an exchange of individual ideas is attained. Through the efforts of Brother Philip Neri the members, coming from all four years, are given the opportunity to learn a great deal in this field by both theoretical and practical discussions and demonstration.

Kevin spoke his way up to the state semifinals be- fore he was eliminated. As in the past, the Catholic Youth Organization held the Westchester division of its contest on February 27 at Stepinac. A newcomer to the field of oratory, Frank Chisari, won recogni- tion for Stepinac in the contest by winning over a field of 36 speakers. Frank spoke on "Catholic Youth and the Pope's Annual Christmas Mes- sage". On March 13 Frank spoke in the Archdiocesan finals at Cardinal Hayes H. S. and placed third.

Lack of experience and insufficient mem- bership were no longer stumbling blocks to the team, thus it enjoyed one of the best years since it was initiated. Participating at the Holy Cross tourna-' ment on December l3, Stepinac won a third place trophy. During the course of the year the team entered approximately nineteen tournaments sponsored by various colleges and forensic leagues. The Stepinac debating team also actively participated in the newly formed Westchester County Debate League, and did quite well for itself. A bright future is seen for the Debating Society.

Ma D I Going UP? CARDINAL HAYES Stepinac's Crusaders opened their i958-59 basketball season on a rather dismal note by bowing to Cardinal Hayes 72-5l. The Blue and Red, crippled by graduation, lacked game experience as a team, although they put forth a fine effort. SALESIAN Stepinac and Salesian tangled in a league game which saw the New Rochelle team emerge victorious. The margin of victory was a basket in the last l5 seconds. Brian McAuley got Zl points for the Crusaders. The final score was 54-53. NEW ROCHELLE The Crusaders journeyed to New Rochelle Armory and absorbed a second one point defeat at the hands of the Huguenots, 61-60. Diminu- tive Rico Dos Anjos poured 22 points through the 'hoop for the losers and John Mastropolo, just elevated from the J,V.'s, showed promise as a backcourt man. MT. ST. MICHAEL Whoops! -4' Joyce bombs from the foul circle. Stepinac hosted Mt. St. Michael and proved to be a good host as the Mounties engineered a 63-55 win. The Crusaders showed more spark than in their previous games and much improvement. . -'X Richichi's magic touch. BLESSED SACRAMENT The Crusaders broke a four game losing streak as they rolled over Blessed Sacrament 65-43. Many players scored in double figures as Dos Anjos, McAuley, and Mastropolo paced the winners with l4, l3, and l2 points respec- tively. IONA The Crusaders met their arch rival, Iona on Stepinac's court and rallied in the second half for a convincing 62-46 victory. Dos Anjos with I7 points and John Joyce with lO spear- headed the home club's attack. s1'AMFoRD cATHoi.lc ' Stepinac's Blue and Red invaded Connecticut, and nailed down their 3rd straight victory with a 4l -38 victory over Stamford Catholic. Brian Mc!-Xuley scored l3 for the winners in an un- usually low team point production. SACRED HEART The battle of the basketball titans took place at Stepinac as the home team took on the defending league champs, Sacred Heart of Mastropolo shows his muscles. lf only my arm was two yards longer -3 .. Cohane scratches the hoop. He's got the whole world in His hands. l l 8 V for victory. Yonkers. When the battle was done, the Crusaders had a well earned 89-85 overtime victory and a new school scoring record. Al- though it was a team victory, Rico Dos Anjos and John Mastropolo stood out with fine back- court play and indentical 25 point totals. EDISON TECH Stepinac entertained Edison Tech and proved to be the better team. The home forces moved to a sizeable half-time lead and coasted to victory in a not too strenuous 58-47 decision. John Joyce scored a modest l l points for the Crusaders but he also hauled down 20 big rebounds. MOUNT ST. MICHAEL Stepinac's hopes of retaining its league crown were dealt a cruel blow as Mount St. Michael's cagers scored a 49-44 defeat over Stepinac. The Mounties also managed to break the Crusader's 6 game winning streak. Brian McAuley garnered Zl points for the losers. UTICA CATHOLIC Utica Catholic became Stepinac's seventh vic- tim of the basketball season as the Crusader's ground out a 54-45 triumph. The Blue and Red, playing their second game in 24 hours, were obviously not up to their usual pace but still managed to be ahead at the final buzzer. Frank Richichi scored ll points to lead the winners. BLESSED SACRAM ENT The Blue and Red of Stepinac visited Blessed Sacrament of New Rochelle as they secured a 53-38 victory. Though looking a bit cold in the field goal department, the Crusaders' built up an early lead and were never headed. Mastropolo and McAuley netted l4 and l3 points respectively to lead the Blue and Red. IONA Rico Dos Anjos calmly pumped in two foul shots with l8 seconds left in the game to give Stepinac their second win over Iona this year 65-63. The Gaels blew an attempt to tie the game and Stepinac captured the rebound with about 5 seconds left, thereby insuring the victory. SALESIAN Salesian fell before the Crusader attack as the Blue and Red avenged an early season loss by way of a 60-5l win. The rebounding of Joyce Rico rides again. Stretch, Brian! Plopl Mastropolo hooks to Rico. and Richichi spelled the difference as Salesian got a 33 point performance from Frank DeRosa. SACRED HEART The gallant cagers of Stepinac were foiled in a playoff bid by Sacred Heart of Yonkers. The victors frustrated all Crusader efforts for a rally and won the game 67-55. Tim Cohane was the bright spot for the Blue and Red as he scored 22 points. STAMFORD CATHOLIC Time couldn't run out fast enough for Stam- ford Catholic as they absorbed a 73-35 shel- lacking at the hands of Stepinac. The game was never in doubt as the Crusaders raced to an l8-O lead and built it into 47-12 at the half. NEW ROCHELLE Tim Cohane led all scorers with 20 points. Joyce bounces it off the ceiling. Cohane attempts a jumper. Stepinac's gym was the scene of a hectic, see- saw battle, which saw the Hugeunots of New Rochelle nip the Crusaders 67-64. The game was in doubt until New Rochelle tipped in a rebound with less than l5 seconds left. Frank Richichi was magnificent as he scored 22 points and consistently out-rebounded the highly touted New Rochelle quintet. JISON TECH i their final appearance of the regular season epinac's cagers drubbed Edison Tech 83-46. "hot" first half plus strong rebounding by icAuley, Cohane and Richichi proved to be o much for the Tech. Coach Volpe of Stepi- ic cleared the bench during the second half id almost every Crusader scored. The victory :ted Stepinac's record to a respectable ll-7 ir the season. DNA TOURNAMENT mr the second year in a row, the Crusaders are ousted from the Iona Tournament in the itial round as they succumbed to La Salle, Z-53. The whole difference was forward zrry Houston who scored 26 points for the ew York team. Stepinac was very much in e game until the fourth period when they n into difficulty in hitting on field goal at- mpts. With Houston scoring 13 of his points that stanza, the Blue and Red fell too far ck and never caught up. John Mastropolo d Rico Dos Anjos had l6 and l2 points spectively for the losers.

J.V. Basketball ln all respects, this J.V. team was an outstanding club. lt would be impossible to write about this team without mentioning the unlimited talent of each member. One could point out the vast improvement of Don Manning and the development of a fine centerg the playmaking of Pete Kaufman, the aggressiveness of Jack Searingg the outstanding drive and rebounding ability of Joe Salvatore, Joe Wray and Ray Dougherty, the bench strength of Bobby O'Neill, Dan Reid, Bill Dwyer, Gus Priori, Roger Foreste, and John Weissg the spirit and desire of Chuck Gelardi. One could write at length on any of these players but the facts that made them outstanding was their ability to play as a unit and their desire to win. As one coach so aptly phrased it, "I think they are too dumb to quit fighting but let's hope they always stay that way." One might consider their season as only half successful considering their loss in the city semi-finals. But in losing, they never ceased to be not only fine ball players but outstanding young men. lf the The center of attr future varsity depends on these players then success cannot pos- sibly elude us.

Flanagan, manager, G Mooney, G. Bertsch, D. Dwyer, C. Sparkmann, J. Ward, J. Ferris, E. Binzen, manager. This,year's frosh aspirants were ably coached by Brother Kerry, a new addition to Stepinac's faculty. The team was led by the play-making of Dennis Dwyer and consistent scoring of Bill O'Donnell, John Lorden, and Mike'Carroll. Although not as dstrong as last year's team the frosh ended their season with a 5-l5 record placing third in the league. Nonetheless, the experience gained by these men will serve as a strong basis for Stepinac's ball club in the years to come. 123 Q This year's cross-country team was not as successful as in the past. Coach Joe Soprano's harriers didn't have the depth needed to be a top-notch club. The thinclads were well grouped but lacked the low individual places necessary for that all important low score. The J.V. was much more succcessful than their varsity counterparts. This fact plus a fine group of Sophomores shows that Stepinac can look for a successful future in this sport. This unpublicized sport attempts to de- velop discipline and endurance. Although this past season was only fair, all who competed developed these two attributes. This surely was a triumph in itself and a potent reason for this sport's activity. Seniors gather before the starting gun. Hey! Where's the fire?

Forty boys, unaware of the hardships ahead, tried out. But due to overwhelming trials, about twenty boys remained to complete the season. They competed in many meets, fin- ishing in the Catholics-as high as third and fourth place out of forty schools from the surrounding area. Indoor track followed and many of the old faces from XC were seen on the new board track. Many new boys tried out, rounding out a fair-sized team. Most of the running was done by relay teams of all sorts. The frosh showed that they could do it by taking first place in a 660 yard relay at the Novice cham- pionships. They again proved what they could do in the 8-lap relay in the Westchester Coaches' Meet at the County Center. The relay team of J. Liptak, B. Magdelain, M. Aronin and J. Michaels broke a record by 2.5 seconds, taking first place. The frosh also ran several relay teams in meets at the IOZ Engineers' Armory. They finished the season with a Frosh-Novice meet held at Stepinac. The Frosh lost, but not without a fight. The Sophomores won the meet by l point. Spring Track for the Freshmen opened on April lst with the 440 relay team of Liptak, Magdelain, Aronin and McGinnis taking a first place, and the next week a second place. Fr. Murray, Frosh track coach, sees great prospects ahead for his boys in the years to COINS. l33 L+ 5 as I Emil Milisci mes Thomas 4 Richard Yannantuono Douglas Carpenter Raymond Oddo Gerald Dikienzo PH' Baseball Front Row F Rocioppo J Mastropolo E Bianco E Milisci G.

Baseball "Great Expectations" isperhaps the best way to describe the Potential of the i959 Baseball. team. Under the direction of Mr. Joe Sullivan, who has taken over the reins for the first time, and augmented by a number of returning letter- men, the Crusaders should field a representative nine. The presence of some new faces from Sophomore and Junior year augurs well for the future. ln John Mastropolo and Ed Lombardi the team has young strength at short stop and on the mound. The outfield presents a Junior array in Phil Lamanna, Tom Keileher, and Senior co-captain Gerry DiRienzo. Ray Oddo, Tim Cohane, Ernie Bianco and Frank Racioppo fill out the starting team. Aftera few practice games in which the Crusaders ironed out theftlaws, Mr. SuIIivan's sluggers won its opening game against Iona. This extra-inning thriller placed them in definite contention for the Westchester C.H.S.A.A. title. l35 Batter up-First Pitch-First Game. V4 P ., 'Q "Our hats are off to you, Tim," "Where's my ring?"

Golf rg-1 Pete blasts out of trap. l38 This year's golf team should be one of the most colorful and outstanding Stepinac has ever had. Much of the credit is due to the genial Father Fitzgerald, who has coached an undefeated team for the past four years. The team is composed of six seniors, one junior and two sophomores. Returning from last year's undefeated team are Senior Lettermen, Peter Bisconti, Westchester County Junior Cham- pion, Dominic Desio, Portchester Open runner up and Jerry Mahoney. Junior Lettermen Tom Luddy and Don Bank played an important part in all the victories. Richard Lanza, a senior, filled out the starters, playing sixth man. Rounding off the team were three alternates, Bill Friolli, Dave Rae and Bob Hutter. Five out of the six starters are seventy golfers which is a rarity among high school circles. The linksmen opened the season by defeat- ing the Sacred Heart golf team 6.V2 to 2Vz. They then turned their attention towards defending their titles as P.P.S.A.A. and C.Y.O. champs. The low scores posted in the opener were an indication of the championship caliber the team possessed.

Having won the fall C.H.S.A.A. tennis tour- nament, considerably ahead of their nearest competitor, great things are expected of the varsity squad this spring. A nicely rounded schedule, including the Fordham Tournament, should undoubtedly prove the hustle and skills of the entire team. In last years Fordham Tourney Stepinac finished second, while Ford- ham Prep copped first honors. Captain Al van Eyck reached the semi-finals bowing out to the Fordham finalist Hugh O'Donnell, who in the finals lost to top seeded Terry McMahon of Bishop Loughlin. Victories in seven of eight matches in the fall, makes Stepinac a serious contender for this Catholic Archdiocesean title really the highlight of the spring tennis season. Seniors Stu McMillian, Bill Collins, Mac Buckley, Zsolt Szalay, Ken Grasso, and Al van Eyck, plus the services of juniors Ed Dealy and Dave Ryan, and Sophomore Tom Palmer will no doubt spirit the squad to heights unknown. . c Qs, -Q22 . ii., .

This record placed the marksmen third in the Westchester lnterscholastic Rifle League. They also placed third in the West- chester private and Parochial School Tournament held in the beginning of February. The highest score in competition this year was a l87 shot by Reuel Dorman, who is only a sophomore. R. Hopkins and J. Ashenbrenner sight target. "Don't shoot the photographer, boys." I l42 1? f Rifle Club The Rifle Club under the guidance of Father Thomas McCaffrey, who was assisted by Father Edward Gust, Brother Norbert and Brother Padraic, had an unusually large membership at the beginning of the school year. As there were sixty members, five groups of twelve each had to be organized and each group shot at the new rifle range once a week. However, before anyone shot at the range, several classes were held in order to instruct the boys in the proper methods of f. xx' shooting and the various safety precautions to be used. The rifle range, which was just recently completed under the direction of Father McCaffrey, is the pride of the rifle club, and justly so, for many of the mem- bers themselves have put long hours of work into its building. It is dedicated to Father Miguel Pro, whose coat of arms is a pair of crossed rifles, by which he was martyred. He is a truly appropriate patron for the rifle club. Moderators: Fr. Gust, Bro. Padriac, Fr. McCaffrey, and Fr. Gaffney at Fr. Pro range. Pete Zucks concentrates on upcoming gutter ball. Bowling "B" Team R. Marsico, P. DiRuocco, Fr. DiBIasi, C. Ivers, N. Senechal, J. Genovese. Bowling "A" Team G. Wayne, P. Valenti, Father DiBlasi, moderator, D. Desio, A. Dunn, P. Zuchs. I44 Desio heads for another strike. Bovvlin Under the direction of Fr. DiBlasi, the Bowling Team had one of its most successful seasons. The team placed second in the newly formed West- chester High School League with a commendable record of 38 and lO. Among the teams the Stepinac Keglers defeated, were Iona Prep, New Rochelle, Bronxville, Blessed Sacramentj Sale-Sian, Rye Neck and Pelham. On February l7, the team captured the Private and Parochial Schools Tournament held at Post Academy. Art Dunn had the high single game with a 2l2 and Gary Waynehad the high triple with a 573. The Stepinac "B" Team took second place with Noel Senecal hitting 504. Gary Wayne and Pete Valenti led the Crusaders with averages of 183 and l75 respectively. They received considerable help from Don Desio, Art Dunn, Phil Dikuocco, JohnGenovese, Noel Senecal and Pete Zucks. -of G al' x me X5 .. QT.. .---wg f 3 N ,S- 5 Fi N fx 3 , my 4 I hz. ' J ' .
