Boomer, Spirit Burns Brigbthf in Disappointing Season In series of missed opportunities, unfortunate breaks, final overwhelming victory inspires confidence for future seasons lf thou hath faith unto the mustard nothing shall be impossible to thee. Perhaps it was the faith that coach Pas- cuzzi had in his boys , Perhaps it was the faith that the team had in their leader. Perhaps it was the faith that the school had in its Central League representatives. One might consider any of these reasons as the answer to why this team, after each setfback, picked itself up and continued to give everything for victory. There was a faith in themselves, a faith which saw its worth in the first game of the season when Rice outplayed Catholic Central, a faith nurtured by a near win over arch-rival U. of D., a faith rewarded in the final resounding victory over Croves. Now there will be something on which to build the future, a future which though apparently brighter will still re- quire faith to ignite the flame and to kindle it into a bonfire. Mr. Paseuzzi's elution at the Groves game is shown in his happy expression as he instructs jim Rajewski. 127

Support of School Is Valuable Football Season is unsuccessful though promising id aw, Although always anticipating victory, the faces of joe Varley, Larry Schloss, coaches lllr. Pascuzzi and lllr. Nesbitt indicate another disappointing play. Although well covered hy Notre Dame defenders, Dan Parks goes up for ll pass as Bill Cheslin moves in to clear a path for him. 128 lr N wr As the record stands this was a year of defeat for the gridiron Warriors. Yet there was something new this year, something which set this year apart from past seasons. Perhaps it was the Pep Club. For it was this year our school was represented by a team with spirit, a team that tasted con- tinual defeat but never disgrace. Some will argue as to the reason but none will ever deny that this year shall be recalled, not for the single victory but simply because it makes one proud to recall the men who this year bore the orange and black so well. It was this intangible quality of spirit which made one proud to attend a BRHS football game, which made one proud to say, Thats my team.
