All we can do is merely predict what the team may accomplish this year. This season. the squad should have some outstanding ball players. lt will have such past performers as Mac Wriglat who should hold down the backstop position, 'iGaga Andrews and Frenchy Filucci, two very capable in-fielders. ln the out-fields will be Tom Toner. who will also be ready to re- lieve behind the plate. Freshman Mike Keenan should also show some hustle on the mound. Other seniors who are trying out for positions are as follows: Joe Sanna, Roy McKenzie, Bernie Masterson, Ed Nawrocki, Manny l.oureiro. Eddie Babiec. and Paul Chabot. Two capable senior managers will be Jim McCann and Joe lVlcVey who will be assisted by 'iRollo Whitney and 'iBunny Martelle.

Through the earnest efforts of the officers of the Athletic Association, and the custom' ary zeal of the student body and faculty. the 1946-47 Athletic Association enjoyed a most successful season, both in game participation and iinancial returns. Pep rallies staged regularly during the basketball season fostered the good spirit and Fine sportmanship for which our school has long been reputed. Capacity attendance so filled our audi- torium at the commencement of the season that a new ticket system had to be in augu- rated to insure seats for students. At the close of the basketball season, ate tention turned to baseball. spring training, and the less enjoyable task of repairing the diamond.
