The whole team contributed to our success with many lower termers proving their skill and their value along with the experienced Seniors. Captain Charlie Enger and Charles Wright scored many points for the team in the IOO yard backstroke. Ted Gamble again turned in a wonderful iob of diving-he placed first in almost all of the meets he participated in, and our relay team, Vito Fosella, David Blumin, Ernie LaFlamme, and Carl Raichle was rarely beaten. The team finished the season in the 5th slot of the Brooklyn-Richmond P.S.A.L. and next year hopes to do even better. Even though 5 or more of the team are graduating in June, with the experience that the others are getting this year, and with the prospect of new materiel to come, Curtis can look forward to even better seasons. Any boy can try out for the team, the only qualification necessary to make it is that he must swim the 50 yard freestyle in 3l seconds or less. Shllllllll HG

K I Coach Harry O'Brien keeps turning out winning basketball teams and this year was no exception! To date the record is seven and three. Curtis opened its season defeating Tottenville and St. Peters before it ran aground, losing to Port Richmond. The Warriors then easily dispatched with Augustinian Academy and again, Tottenville. After Christmas, Curtis was host in the Christmas Tree Tournament. ln the only game that the Varsity played it defeated Vermont's Rutland High School team. The holidays must have been too much for our heroes for they dropped the next two games to New Brunswick High School and our neighbor, McKee. We got back on the winning track again, however, beating St. Peters and a surprisingly good Augustinian team. Besides the returning veterans, Seniors Polgar, Miller, Corresel and Burke all have been fighting for the well deserved wins, Ken Gyrmathy is the only non-senior on the team. The Varsity is co-captained by Richie Meeks and Jerry Prehn. Under the coaching of Mr. O'Brien, the Junior Varsity also had its usual winning record. Captained by Randy Brooks, their record so far is five wins and one loss.
