Wormuth, Assistant Coach Mynderse can well feel proud of Ihe 1139 foolball squad. What they lacked in pounds, they made up in spirit. To Coach Baker and his assistant, Mr. Wormuth, therefore, jju congratulations for their sound, well-executed coaching of this group of inexperienced boys. With the opening of the season the coaches started building an entirely new squad around two returning regulars of 1938, Joe Comernisky, and Joe Barbi. However, Mynderse finished the season in second place in the Tri-County League. RECORD OF GAMES Mynderse 0, North Syracuse 7 North Syracuse at Mynderse was the season’s opener for both squads. The game was a slow start for both sides, with few major gains. The touchdown for Syracuse came as the result of a 15 yard pass from our own 20 yard line. “Mynderse 18, Dansville 0 On a field of mud and rain, Mynderse massed a strategic attack against Dansville. A shifted lineup served to strengthen the weaknesses of the week before. Geno Giovannini's runs of 25 and 45 yards each were responsible for touchdowns. Extra points by Don Hayes and Joe Comernisky together with two safeties gave Mynderse the necessary 18 points to win. Joe Comernisky, Captain “Non-League contests. 24

FORTY-TWO John Kemak, Albert Cappaeci, and Edmond Mastroleo are among our basketball men. Genevieve Sabatini rhythmically leads us in cheer for these class heroes. The sophomore girls are not lacking in athletic ability either, for many of them participated in inlramurals and will receive awards in June. We are quite an all-around class as far as participation in activities is concerned. The vocalists of our class have joined the glee clubs and are doing rather well for themselves. Some of them were in the operetta, “Hose of the Danube;” others are planning to attend the music festival in Waterloo. Those interested in languages have joined the French, Latin, or Italian Clubs; those possessing artistic ability have joined the Acanthus Club; those with histrionic ability, Wig and Rouge. The other clubs have been just as generously patronized. Ours is indeed a representative class. On April 12, we sophomores showed our ability also in the newly created activity of Mynderse, the annual Play Festival, sponsored by Wig and Rouge. Freshmen and sophomores participated in it in this, its initial year. Besides participating in these activities there has been a large sophomore attendance at the school dances, thus showing the sociability of our group. Also, we are anxiously looking forward to the Frosh-Soph picnic, to hang up new records in the annual eating competition. Yes, we have enjoyed this year immensely with all its trials, troubles, and good times. The fact that we shall be graduated from our second high school year is compensated for us only in the thought that our two most glorious and fruitful years are yet to come.

Mynderse 0, Newark 12 In a dog-eat-dog contest, Mynderse bowed to Newark in its first league game of the season. Runs by Babcock; and passes, Babcock to Quinlan, brought victory for Newark. A good defensive game was turned in by the Mynderse warriors. Mynderse 0, Lyons 7 In its second league game, Mynderse went down fighting to a peppy Lyons eleven. Three times, touchdown bids were made by the scrappy Mynderse team, but to no avail, the game ending with Mynderse completing a pass to the 2 foot line. Mynderse 20, Clyde 7 Joe Barbi, aided by “Red” Miller, intercepted a pass for the first touchdown of this spectacular game. Joe Comemisky then went over on a fake reverse for the point. A pass from Platten to Larzelere in the end zone brought another 6 points. Hayes passed to Moreland for the point. In the closing period, Moreland intercepted a pass and streaked 60 yards for a touchdown. Coach Baker Mynderse 7, Waterloo 0 In the Mynderse-Waterloo tangle, Mynderse again showed its class by handing the hosts a defeat. A fullback buck by Hayes brought the lone touchdown for Mynderse. Comernisky on a fake pass brought the ball over for the point. Twice, Mynderse lost the ball at the Waterloo goal line. Mynderse 16, Penn Yan 0 The Mynderse boys turned the heavy Penn Yan eleven back by a score of 16 to 0. The locals, not forgetting the 1938 game, proceeded to show the visitors some fancy ball playing. With Lawler on the throwing end, and Giovannini, Carissimi, and Barbi receiving, a superb passing attack was launched. The entire team functioned to the fullest. The record of the season, although not spectacular, was good enough to satisfy most pre-season skeptics who had predicted defeat for the Mynderse warriors. 25
