It was not only the first of our teams on which seniors played, but ours was the first team ever to reach the playoffs in their first full year. Thanks to the excellent coaching of Mr. Adduci and Mr. John- ston, and the fine directing of its moderator, Brother Don- nelly, the team tied for second place in the South Section in the Catholic League. The team started the season by playing a favored St. Patrick squad to o 6-6 tie. They went on to beat St. Ignatius, St. Rita, Leo, and Del.aSalle, while losing to St. Philip, Mendel and Mount Carmel. Our Crusaders lost a hard fought game to Mendel in the playoffs to bring their record to four wins, four losses and one tie. The Freshman team, coached by Brother Fairleigh, also had a fine season, with a record of six wins and one loss. The one loss was to a Frosh-Soph team from Leo. In four seasons, Brother Fairleigh's teams have lost only one game. The Sophomore team coached by Brother Eccelston and Brother McNamara didn't have quite as fine a season with no wins and two losses. Mr. Johnston, Mr. Adducci, and Br. Donnelly discuss the season schedule on the steps of the gym.

The expectations? fThe day YOU made the decisive basket, threw the key block, won the big race, or hit the home run - could you help but recall? The athletic program is an important and integral part of the educational program of every high school. Physical development, as well as mental and spiritual advancement, assist the student in acquiring a well-rounded personality, and becoming a capable adult. The school must provide facilities and guidance in coordinating the body as well as in educating the mind. Brother Rice is singularly blessed with magnificent facilities, along with an excellent stat? of coaches and moderators. The campus is large, providing sufficient room for football, baseball, and track teams. The fine tennis courts erected north of the school have enabled Brother Rice to produce many first-rate tennis players. The gymnasium is equipped to maintain basketball, tumbling, wrestling, and many other indoor sports. ln addition, the school's proximity to golf courses, swimming pools, and bowling alleys has given the students an exceptional opportunity for taking part in these activities. ln addition to the obvious advantage of bodily advancement, the sports program has a genuine effect in promoting humility, perseverence, patience, and compatibility. No one who has worked with the other members of a team, under the careful guidance ofa trained Catholic adult, can come away without acquiring these virtues. Each joy and sorrow which the athlete encoupters is an opportunity for the development of his moral integrity. Because of the unusually large athletic program at Brother Rice, each student has an opportunity to participate in some sport. The School not only fosters fine varsity teams, but also sponsors intramural and non-varsity sports in addition to the regular physical education program in which each student takes part. There are many memories attached to our sports and games. Reminisce and recall the many days and weeks and years behind us. Recall the sputtering, shivering group in the rain- soaked bleachers, cheering the Crusaders on to another touchdown. Remember the dramatic, last-second basket that won the game. The big track meet. . .the swimming champion- ship. . . tennis . . . golf. . . bowling . . .tumbling .... Who could forget being part of the huge, trembling, cheering crowd which overflowed the stadium? Who could forget returning from the game and being met by a happy group of supporters who let ' you know how glad and proudlthey were of your success? Remember all those anxious hours, those desperate prayers, those moments of tragedy. Remember the laughter, the happy times, the ecstatic moments of victory. Remember - so many things - to cherish. So much to savor in our memories. Remember . . . remember . . .
