BASEBALL FRESHMAN YEAR - RECORD 9-3 Coach McCann viewed the early baseball candidates with a disheartened look. Gone were the familiar faces of Fitzgibbons, Manning and Carey. To offset the loss be- hind the plate, Walter Murphy was brought in from the outfield to fill the catching va- cancy. Dick Shellenback bore the burden of the pitching staff. Ed Murphy won the first base job with Freshman Ray Cattaneo teaming well at shortstop with pivotman Jack Concannon. Jack Casey held down the hot-corner slot. Once more English dominated the Boston Conference while B. C. High, with a 9-3 record was losing to East Boston, Boston Technical and Roslin- dale. SOPHOMORE YEAR - RECORD 12-2 This year it was Coach Fella Gintoff call- ing out baseball hopefuls. However, the outlook was brighter than the previous year. Returning were veterans Walter Murphy, the Captain-catcher, Dick Shellenback, Ed Murphy, Jack Concannon, R.ay Cattaneo. Jack Casey also was among the returning, but this year roamed the outfield beside Bernie Mulligan and Ed Harnett. Dave Crehan and Sophomore Jack McElroy light- ened the pitching burdens from the shoul- ders of Shellenback. With this great lineup, B. C. High ran up a string of 9 straight wins. However, we lost to English, but since they also had lost once, a playoff game was made necessary to determine the Bos- ton Conference Champs. English once more ruled us by a 3-2 score and B. C. High was forced to accept the runner-up position. JUNIOR YEAR - 13-2 Still another coach greeted the candidates for the 1947 season. Coach Dan Weitakamp soon molded a championship team from a nucleus of 5 veterans and 20 aggressive VARSITY BASIQBALL TEAM liirst row, left to right: Valinoti. Cvuisri, Mclklorrow, Catannco.

Now, as a senior, he has been showing his heels to numerous competitors. I will do my level best to give you a complete verbal picture of each senior track- man. Tall, thin William Bond, exponent of the quarter-mile, has added many points to quad meet totals. Another 440 Speedster is diminutive Dick Madigan. Dick has been on the Track Team for three years, a letter winner in his Sophomore Year. B. C. Highis high-hurdles' duo of John Cunningham and footballer Mike Heffer- nan have placed consistently iniboth Quad and Garden Meets. Mike is also a fine high- jumper and shot-putter. George Foley, one of B. C. High's great- est athletes, is a proficient shot-putter. A constant winner, George has gathered a colossal number of points. Eddie Donovan and Harry Jennings are 1000-yd. runners. Eddie is a good football l t . 1 X player. Harry has been on the Track Squad for three years. Tommy Mulvehill and George Burke, both from Newton, are also thousand-yard runners. In Class CH Senior runners are: Bill Cal- lahan and Leo Stankard. Callahan is a crack quarter-miler, Stankard a speedy 220 dash man. Gerald Cleary and Ed McDonald are top- poinr gatherers in the 'broad jump and high janp, respectively. Ed is a five-six jumper and Gerry is a consistent placer. John Di Anni in the 440, James Dow- ney, Lawrence Silverson, and John Sullivan, milers have garnered their share of points. Bob Gaughan, although greatly hampered by injuries, has been one of the mainstays of the Track Squad. Senior Manager, John O'Neil, is to be congratulated because of his fine work in keeping our belongings together. Finally, but far from being last, is B. C. High's State and Northeastern Meet high- jumper, Bob Kelley. Kel is really great. Liao F. STANKARD, JR. isj

BASEBALL ball-players. Led by Capt. john Concannon at second base and his double-playmaker Ray Cattaneo, john McLaughlin, Murphy's sub, and the strong-armed pitchers Dave Crcehan and jack McElroy, a well-balanced ball team was fo1'med. Ken McDonald, Bob Guisti and Bob Maeomber, all juniors, rounded out a well assorted pitching staff. jack Reagan and jim Cummings battled all year, along with Jim Breau for a start- ing Erst-base slot. Connie and Ray again were the middle men and the talented Carl Maddelini won the third base job from Tom McElroy and Joe McKenney. The outfield consisted of Dan Ahern, Tom Londergan, Andy Maddaleni fthe only Sophomore on the squadj and Gene Mitchell, one of the most underrated players in the Conference. With this hard-hitting lineup, B. C. High won S straight until Norm Fitzgerald of Southie was forced to go 13 innings to beat us 5-2. Dave Creehan showed his remarkable pitching talent as he struck out 15 against Tech. Against Commerce, Carl Maddaleni had 5 of the 18 hits but Bob Guisti was forced to put out a short lived Commerce uprising, winning 7-4. In this game Ray and Connie had 4 double plays. As a result of their 13-1 record, B. C. High received an invitation to the Eastern Mass. School- boy Baseball Tourney. In the quarter-finals we drew Lynn Classical fthe eventual State Champs, and were outclassed to the tune of 12-0. Tom Londergan shone in the gloom of defeat with his sixth inning single, ruin- ing Rubinowski's no-hit pitching. After VAllSlTY SlfNlOllS BASliBAl.l, '1'1iAM lfirst row, left lo right: Guisti, VI.
