WRESTLING This year began its second season in the grunt-and-groan game under a new coach, Mr. Storer, who has shown great ability in teaching the boys. Since the sport is still fairly new, the team was still quite inexperienced. T his year Belmont entered the Old Colony League. They also attended the State Meet in March. Outstanding on the squad was “Rock” Giblin, undefeated 155-pound champ who has hopes of winning the State crown this year. “Tony” Boschetti struck tear into the hearts of his opponents, and little Guy Arno shows great promise foi his next two years. The weight classes were Guy Arno, 100 pounds; Harry Willard, no; Tommy Williams, 118; Armando Boschetti, 123; Gilbeit Krulee, 128; Richard Belliveau, 135; Robert Curtin, 145; Edward Giblin, 155; Tony Boschetti, 165; and Gene Boisoneau, 175. With six of these men re turning, Bel- mont has great hopes for next year. d 27 }
