It seemed that an extra girl had been invited to the Ball, so the actors were always finding themselves trying to keep that extra out of the path of the principal. Such is the case in the first picture above, when Larry Rideout assumed a bandit attire, and the movie star, Lois Campana, vamped the principal, in order that the prexy would not see the boys and girls hiding in closets and under the cots flower leftj . . . The bandit even went so far as to lock the principal in the closet long enough for PAGE F ORTY-TWO visitors to make their getaway down the fire escape . . . Finally, the patience of all the young ladies was exhausted, and they decided to get even with the movie star who had been vamp- ing their boy friends all evening. And get even they did, as the hair-pulling contest picture will show . . .

Fall '44 Drama Class Presents 'Best Foot Forward' On October 30, the curtain rose on Best Foot Forward, a comedy picturing the trials and tribulations of the adoles- cent, and having' its setting in the boys' dormitory of Winsocki Preparatory School. Starring were Leifur Magnusson, as the boy who invited a movie star to the school ball, and Rosemarie Hunter, as his per- plexed girl friend. Lois Campana was the movie star, Gale Joy, while Bud's loyal boy friends were played by Robert Thomson, Larry Rideout, Lino Beldi, and Carl Math- ews. Their girl friends were Eleanor Feh- len, Marilyn Liddell, Betty Wood, and Anne Ensminger. Dr. Reeber, president of the school, portrayed by David Donaldg Miss Smith, Lynnea Berthelsong and Pro- fessor Lloyd, Anthony McGrath, were the harrassed chaperones. Richard Agee was the newspaper reporterg while Robert Ler- tora took the part of Miss Joy's manager, and Howard Lindsay was the old grad. Success of the play was due in no small part to the coaching of Mrs. Anna May Dickson, director, Mr. A. Elgin Heinz and his stage crew, especially Alvin Linn, elec- triciang Barbara Seiberlich and Pauline Wright, promptersg publicity managers Robert Di Grazia and David Donald g Nan Hall and Robert Lertora, properties, and Mr. Ralph Urey, ticket sales. Other productions of the term included the beautiful Christmas assembly and a girls' assembly play. PAGE FORTY-THREE V -. E l 4 0 I Ei Spring Green In Spotlight On April 16 Spring Green, packed with action and surprises, was presented to an appreciative audience as the spring semester term play. Dunk Doyle fDon Garofaloj stole Newton Todd's fBob Thomsonj girl friend without any complaint from Newt, but when he walked away with his earth- worms, that was a different story. Poor Newton was in trouble with everyone, trying to keep his beautiful earthworms, but he evened the score, especially with Dunk when, after a sound thrashing, Newt made him fish them all out of the river, where he had thrown them. Cast of characters included: Dixie Bush, Pauline Wright, Norma Denholm, Bob Kaffke, Rose Marie Hunter, Betty Wood, Bill Roberts, Therese Katfar, Anthony McGrath, Anne Ensminger, Larry Rideout, Bob McLennan, and Randall Asplin. Congratulations go to a hard-working cast and to those quiet, backstage persons who play such a large part in making any stage production a success: Mrs. Anna May Dickson, director, Mr. A.

The task of issuing a yearbook is a ditiicult one, especially when the staff members are in most cases high seniors, and new heads must be appointed to pick up where the fall staff leaves off . . .

Q w No assembly at Balboa, no rally before any athletic con- test, or no military parade would be complete without the music furnished by the ROTC band pictured above. This unit of the music and ROTC departments has been exceptionally good this term under the capable baton of Lt. Bob Giusti who was assisted by Lt. Wayne Noyes . . . Mr. Salvatore Billeci, composer of Balboa's well-known and loved School Hymn, directs the band, orchestra, and A Cappella Choir, in addition to instructing instrumental classes. Pictured here under his raised baton is one unit of beginning band which should someday be advanced to regular band . . . Strings, wood- winds, brass, percussion-all these instruments go to make up Balboa's orchestra which invariably plays for graduation, PAGE FIFTY Groups Musical term play, and other assemblies . . . When you say Blue Boys on the campus, the memories of those who hear it immediately drift back to the lilting melodies of the Buc- caneers' dance band. Unfortunately, when Orlando Tog- nozzi and Jimmy Campana joined the Armed Forces, and Bob Raabe left school, the organization disbanded . . . Cello sec- tion of the advanced orchestra practices with Woodwinds . . . A Cappella Choir, arrayed in their maroon-colored robes, 1 And Voices Sweet are always well received by Balboa audiences, especially at Christmas time when the members present carols and songs at the traditional Christmas Play, and sing them in the halls, the day that school closes for yuletide vacation . . . Girls chorus' in their white blouses and dark blue skirts, are always refresh- ing to look at and lovely to listen to. This group, ably con- ducted by Miss Robinson, played an important part in the Christmas assembly . . . Shirley Robb, soloist. Echoes of gay young voices singing merry melodies, of' swinging strings and booming brasses come daily from the de- partment in school dedicated to music. Salvatore Billeci, acting department head, and Miss Lillian Robinson give the stu- dents training in mixed chorus, girls' voice, band, girls' chorus, and harmony. An outstanding event of the term was the Christmas program held on Decem- ber 8, during which Brahm's Lullaby was sung by Colleen Wilmar, Ave Maria by Shirley Robb, and I'll Be Home For Christmas by Henry Bernard. Piano ac- companists were Lorraine Piazza, Mary jane Giesel, and Vivienne Melior. Chorus and choir presented traditional carols. The usual carols were also heard in the halls, sung by the A Cappella choir, on the last day before Christmas vacation. Graduation found Mary Ann Anto- nuccio singing Ave Marie, the choir offering Vesper Hymn and Star Dust, and the orchestra playing the traditional processional and recessional. The band, led by Cadet Lieutenant Rob- ert Giusti, showed its spirit at football games, rallies, ROTC parades, and other school functions. Blue Boys, Balboa's dance band, disbanded when several of its members entered the Armed Forces. A string group was organized to play for PTA luncheons. PAGE FIFTY-ONE Novelty is the spice of life, wrote the poet, and apparently Mr. Salvatore Billeci, acting head of the music department, be- lieves the saying, for he has decided to present a newly organized concert band to play for commencement. This organization, forty strong, composed of the best instru- mentalists from the ROTC band and the advanced orchestra,, will play Marche Noble and Triumphal March from Aida as the processional and recessional for the graduates. Also playing an important part in the Hnal exercises of the spring semester will be the choir, which will present Panis Angelicusn by Cesar Franck. This group has presented selections at several assem- blies, even singing a novelty number Be- gin the Beginef' Commencement soloist Betty Wood, whose voice is always enjoy- able, will sing Romance from the Des- ert Song and Morning by Oley Speaks.

Fall Honor Societies... The war had its effect on Balboafs club schedules as well as on other phases of school life and work. Many organiza- tions disbanded, and those which were able to survive did so on a limited scale. One of the most active groups on the campus was the Tri- Y which is composed of two sections, meeting under their respective presidents, Norma New and Barbara Ferrari, during the fall and Norma New and jackie Kahn during the spring, with Miss Connell sponsoring both units.

Balboa Varsity Gridiron Greats Win After a tough season on the gridiron, the Balboa eleven emerged with second place honors in Hnal A.A.A. league standings and live members winning All-City honors, namely: First string, Bob Frances- chinig second string, Tom Dillon, Vernon Scherbag third, Ernie Piuntig honorable mention, Don Van Iderstine. At the championship game of the season, Balboa was turned away from lirst place for the second con- secutive time by a strong Polytechnic team, 15-6. Even though Captain Bob Franceschini and every other man on the squad played their hearts out, it was to no avail as the Poly Parrots outweighed the Pirates 10 pounds per man. Balboa's only touchdown was made by a long pass from fullback Scherba to halfback Caruso, who caught the ball and ran the remaining 30 yards for a touchdown. Capt.

From the kickoff to the final gun it was all Balboafs game, with Lowell never pene trating deeper than the Pirates' 55-yard line The next game, against Galileo, was the highest scoring tilt of the season, with the Mitchel men show- ing that they had a great offensive team, as indicated on the scoreboard: Balboa 44, Galileo 7.

It also saw the longest run of the season. From the Balboa two to the Commerce end zone Went Dillon to climax the game with a 98-yard run. Not down-hearted after the Commerce defeat, the Pirates were waiting for a chance to get revenge on the Lincoln Mustangs, but the game had to be called off because of the weather, and since the semi-finals were so close, the contest was never staged. Semi-tinals, which came at last, found Balboa chosen to play Commerce, while Poly was to rematch Mission. From the first whistle, Balboa hammered away at the Bulldogs, and the score at the final gun was Balboa 20, Commerce O, which put Balboa into the championship game against the Poly Parrots.

Since there wasn't any league this year, the boys were pitted against some junior squads which were much heavier and more experienced opponents, Their most impressive victory was over the Lowell Indians, which they trampled by a 25-0 count. Other teams bowing to the Pirates were Lincoln, twice, by 20-7 and 7-0 scoresg and Burlin- game, 13-6, although the Buccaneers were defeated earlier in the season by the same Burlingame eleven.

PAGE EIGHTY Doing better in the fall '44 and spring '45 basketball league than they have done in the last three seasons, this year's quintet won three out of nine A.A.A. con- tests. The Hrst game of the season saw the Pirates los- ing to a rugged but not superior Poly five, 19-1 2. Show- ing improvement in the next game, the Buccaneers de- feated a championship-bound Lowell Eve, 19-18, in one of the biggest upsets of the season. In the next two games, the Balboans lost to Galileo and Washington, 30-26, and 36-28, respectively. Dil- lon, Valente, and Heaney starred for Balboa, ending their career in a blaze of glory. The Pirates, not to be outdone, came back in their next two games to defeat Commerce and Mission by scores of 15-12 and 30- 22, with Hurley, Abrami, and Rapken playing an out- standing game for the Balboa five. The Buccaneers then went on to drop their next three contests to Lincoln by 55-265 St. Ignatius, 38-185 and Sacred Heart, 41-15. Credit must be given to Dave Rapken, Captain Charles Hurley, Elio Abrami, Leo Selmi, and Ed Cas- silagio for their outstanding playing on the hardwood this season.

DAVIS PAGLIARO ADAMSON BOB FULBRIGHT Varsity Track Starting the season with a victory over the Com- merce Bulldogs, the Buccaneer track men had high hopes of capturing an upper division berth in the City Finals. As the Galleon goes to press, it seems evident that the varsity rosters are destined for a third place, following Lowell and Poly. As a whole, the team did fairly well, losing only to Poly and Lowell, and defeating Commerce, Lincoln, and Mission. Coach Scott has produced several con- stituent winners, one of these being Ronald Jensen, one of the city's crack middle-distance men, who could always be depended upon for a first place, either in the 440 or 880 yard race. Also outstanding were Hank Wfeaver and Frank Mascheroni, who usually placed in the 100 or 220. Jim Russell, Phil Raineri, and Marty Royster handled the hurdling department, and at least one of them would always come through with flying colors. Russell, who also handles the pole vaulting along with Maurice Davis, has cleared the bar at the amazing height of 1 1 feet 3 inches, not too far away from the city record now held by George Varotf. Weight men, PaulValente, Bob Cook, Arfst Arfsten, and Art Presotta, with the help of Lady Luck usually added some points to the Buccaneer squad. Although they may not win the A.A.A. crown, they surely deserve the hard-fought-for third place which they are slated to capture in the City Meet. PAGE EIGHTY-Two if-.

Lightweight Track Balboa's lightweight squad, one of the best in the city, out for the championship crown for the fourth consecutive year, has suffered only one defeat, to Poly, the other contender for the crown. Poly has one of the strongest teams in the league, but it seems that the Buccaneers have a slight margin over them in the City Meet. Due to deadlines and such, it cannot be told in this writing whether or not Coach Clarke's boys suc- ceeded in capturing the mythical crown again. Outstanding in the baby cinder squad this year was jack Caruso, who was never defeated in the broad jumps. It seems that Coach Clarke was well supplied in the field of broad jumping, with jim Skinner and Al Landi qualifying for the 30's, and Frank Vega and john Emerson for the 20's. , Thirties were made up of such invincibles as Bob Caredio and Edward Reed who always added their points in the sprintsg Bob Mills in the 440, and Ray Berg in the hurdles. The relay team, composed of Mills. Caredio, McMillan, and Caruso, has turned in the best time of any lightweight squad this season. In the 20's were such sure-point men as second-place winner Sinclair johnson, who handled the high-jump ing, while Leonard Adamson, john Long, and Rudy Ramirez took at least a second or third place in the sprints. The relay team, one of the best in the city, consisted of Long, Ramirez, Adamson, and Roselli. . REED. MILLS LEWIS EMERSON CAREDIO PAGE EIGHTY-THREE 5' 120 BASKETBALL H0 BASKETHAT T.
