JUNIOR SCHOOL BASKETBALL This year's junior school basketball team is to be heartily congratulated for their fine performances. They proved themselves as a good enigma for the future courtmen of B.M.l. Although they sometimes deviated from the rules that would be considered cor- rect they were at all times a credit to their fellow cadets. Alfred Zarroli, Gene Spiegal and Rocky Kaufman led the team with the spark that is necessary to have a successful season. Trainer and sports director, Al Verdel's efforts are appreciated by the club and they showed their appreciation with their numer- ous victories. The team's fine playing and sportsmanship was a characteristic of their whole season. The editors of the Sword and Sabre wish the best of luck to all the play- ers on this year's team.

With a full schedule of top-flight com- petition, the rifle team for i956-i957 set to work a few weeks after the beginning of school to prepare for a tough season. Although more than thirty cadets came out on the first day, only ten had to be select- ed to compose the team. Through two weeks of careful screening and elimination, S.F.C. Conradi, the coach, finally chose the cream of the crop. ln the course of the season, a few of the P matches had to be cancelled, but some of the high-spots of the season were the two match- es with Admiral Farragut which were both won by the Middiesg however, B.lvl.l. retali- ated when it won over Admiral Farragut of Florida. The Cadets also scored two wins over 'N Haddonfield High School. 5 The team spirit and cooperation gained this year is something to be envied. Lost mat- ches didn't seem to dampen the enthusiasm or determination of the team in the slightest. Through the experienced coaching of S,F.C. Conradi, the team has acquired the es- sential factors of marksmanship, team spirit and sportsmanship that will go a long way ir making the team of i958 a highly successfu one. High scorers this year were Charles Luker Kenneth Meszariols, Edgar Brick, Michael Szyi pi jan and Richard avey. 5-F-C- CHARLES CONRA Top-notch support was furnished by George Gould, Leamon, Spaeth, Brick, W.
