MOTHERS' GUILD As in past years, the Mothers' Guild, moderated by Rev. Angus N. Carney O.S.A., has shown its interest and genuine spirit by financing a pro- gram of improvements for the Acade- my. In past years the Guild has donated many things, notably, the refinishing of the Academy reception room, the renovation of the kitchen, and the sta- tion-wagon. Among this years many gifts are the new stage, the new base- ball uniforms and alarge donation for the new Chevrolet car. To finance these benefactions, the Guild has held many social events. It would be impossible to show our appreciation to the Mothers' Guild for all it has done for the School.

VARSITY BASKETB LL FRONT ROW. Left to Right: Ed McCarthy. Butch LeMo1e, Jim Sause, Ken Saccaro, Mickey LeMole, Bob Steele. SECOND ROW: Fr. Fenton, Red McGivney, Tom Walsh, Frank Reilly. Jim Sherry, Ed Dobbin. - Chas Semon, Duane Momingred, Cas Bianowicz. Just about three weeks after the start of the 1952.-53 school year, a meeting was called by Father Ezra J. Fenton, O.S.A. for all basketball can- didates for the coming season. About twenty-five aspirants attended this meeting. After a series of try-outs, the squad was cut to thirteen. The squad consisted of only three veterans from last year namely, Chas Semon, Ed Dobbin and Jim Sherry. Around these three Father Fenton built a new team. From last year's J.V. team he brought up Joe Lemole, Tom Walsh, Ed McCarthy, Bob Steele, Jim Sause, Gerry Lemole and Ken Sac- caro. From among the other candi- dates Father completed his squad by selecting Frank Reilly, Duane Morn- ingred and George Fiedorowitz. After weeks of almost daily pr ac tic e , emergeda team who could hold its own with any team on the Island. Late in October, at another meet- ing, Father Fenton announced a rugged twenty game schedule, consisting of both local and outside competition. The headline of the schedule being a trip to Malvern Prep in Pennsylvania, another Augustinian school. At the same meeting Jim Sherry was chosen captain of the team. It was not anticipated that this year's team could better the mark of 16 wins and 4 losses made by last years team. The schedule was chang- ed completely thus providing consid- erably stiffer competition. The sea- son ended with the team racking up a very excellent 13-7 record and will go down in the books as another success- ful year for the Augies. The Junior Varsity Team compos- ed of undergraduates won two of its four games this season. The victories were over Port Richmond J.V. and Loyola J.V., of Manhattan. The losses were at the hands of St. Peter's J.V. and Port Richmond J.V. This team is the foundation for next year's Varsity Squad and shows great potential for being an Island power.
