The team, ably coached by Mr. Christianson and captained by Hank Murphy, placed well in all the interscho- lastic runs at both Van Cortlandt Park and Clove Lakes. The highlight of the season was the New York Public School Champi- onship run in which Curtis finished fourth in a group of thirty-six schools. The top individual effort of the season was turned in by Larry Edelman who finished first in the Staten Island Public School Championship at Clove Lakes Park held last autumn. The Curtis track team also made a fine showing in all the New York City track meets. The team was paced by sprinters Mike Brennan, Gerald Schwartz, Gary Schwartz, Harold Knudsen, Hank Murphy, and John Lilley. Leon Selman and Larry Edelman led the distance runners. fx I fi 3 I 0 ,J ii . . f 1 1 L. .1 f' ' . If 1 -V , I fl? Al-

Coach Richard Mudgett's Curtis tennis M team for 1959, built around five letter men, Robert Rabinowitz, Jay Westermeier, Sonny Finkelstein, Bruce Struthers and Lloyd Schutzman, has every hope of sur- passing its record for 1958. New material is good and spirit is high. Newcomers in- clude Lewis Mandell, Bob Follit, Irv Farber, Efrem Sigel, Harold Alexander and Tommy Altman. Last year the team had an overall rec- ord of nine wins out of fourteen matches. This year's team should be even stronger and is looking forward to not only a clean sweep on Staten Island but also a good showing in the city. FRONT: Jay Westermeier, Robert Rabinowitz.

The Curtis High School bowling team fought its way against strong opposition to a tie for the Staten Island P.S.A.L. bowling championship. Sparkecl by three returning lettermen, Bruce Frimet, Ed Doxy and Frank Gambaro, and aided by newcomers Ted Poritz, and Lloyd Schutzman, Mr. Ryan had hopes of taking the Island champj- onship and almost accomplished his aim. Next year, because two of this year's team will be returning, Coach Ryan hopes to have a city championship team. il 1 I KNEELING: Robert DeMasi, Co-captain, Valerio Bruno, Captain, Robert Myers, Co-captain.

Under the direction of Mr. Krongold it gave a satisfactory accounting of itself. Everyone concerned with soccer at Curtis is optimistic about the future. This year's team began as an inexperienced but hard working group and by the end of the season it was a highly co-ordinated and successful unit. All but four of the starting team will be back next year and this more experienced squad should turn in a good record.
