Bulkeley High School - Class Yearbook (Hartford, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 148 of the 1959 volume:

PREFACE The halls of Bulkeley have experienced many al¬ terations this year with the ever increasing enroll¬ ment, which now stands about 1,700. These changes influenced the Editorial Board of Maple Leaves to make a slight alteration in this year’s classbook. This slight change is in the theme of the classbook. We have changed the theme from Moments to Remem¬ ber,” which was the theme for the previous year, to Disneyland.” During our years at Bulkeley High School, we have gone through a stage in our lives that we will long remember. With the advice of our counselors we stud¬ ied the subjects which would best acquaint us with the occupations we are planning to enter after high school. At times, because of the difficulties we met, we have felt like the pioneers when they had to fight their way through the frontier. But to help us through our Frontierland we had a well trained faculty to cope with our endless questions and perennial prob¬ lems. Seniors, just before graduation, inevitably cast their thoughts and dreams of the wonderland times they had in their four years at Bulkeley. While the seniors are in thoughts of their Tomorrowland, they think of all the new friends they have made and the teachers who are always there to advise, not only about school work, but also on problems of adjusting to life itself. Now we take a trip into Playland where we watch the different clubs that are in progress. These meet¬ ings are held after school, since being a member of a club is considered an extra-curricular activity. The number of clubs at Bulkeley is growing rapidly every year. In the three dozen or more that now exist there is bound to be one that offers a constructive extra-class activity for everyone. The students at Bulkeley always seem to have the urge to start some¬ thing new. When a group of students is able to con¬ vince a teacher to be their supervisor they are on their way to adding another club to the ever grow¬ ing list. Fantasyland, the most wonderful and beautiful of all the lands in Disneyland, comes to us in the form of our social and recreational activities at Bulkeley. The Snow Frolic, Junior Prom, and Senior Recep¬ tion are just a few of the dances held at Bulkeley each year that add to the beauty of Fantasyland. Adventureland embraces all the athletic events at Bulkeley. It is the most exciting and thrilling phase at Bulkeley. There are a great number of students here who are active in several sports. A larger num¬ ber of loyal students attend the games to support the team, morally and vocally. In contrast to Disneyland’s variety of interests we are unable to conjure a heading describing the ad¬ vertisements in the Maple Leaves. Finally we thought of the name of Scroogeland. The reason for this head¬ ing is that Uncle Scrooge in Disneyland is always trying to save money. In order that we could save money in having this book printed we had to get someone else to defray part of the expense by ad¬ vertisements. To these generous friends we offer our sincere thanks. Since the Supplement covers only senior activities, we thought that the most appropriate title for this section of the book would be Dreamland. We felt that the seniors would cherish these activities most of all in their dreams, from which we obtained the title for this section. We should like to extend our personal thanks to our advisors, Miss Shea and Mrs. Doerschuck, whose guidance and direction have been invaluable in pub¬ lishing Maple Leaves; to Mr. McElney and the Busi¬ ness Board; to Miss Safford, and her talented Art Board; to the typists for their wonderful cooperation. Our thanks also go to Mr. Mackimmie, Mr. Bashour, and the office staff who gave us much valuable advice and greatly facilitated our work. In closing, our sin¬ cere thanks to Mr. Little of Loring Studios whose complete coverage of BHS events was excellent, and to Mr. Brown of O’Toole Printers, who patiently waited while our deadlines came and went. 2 HarrJnc on DEDICATION We, the class of 1959, are honored to dedicate our classbook to a woman whose help in the classroom and direction in dramatic productions was gratefully accepted. Her un- dying Bulkeley spirit was evident not only during school time but also at many of the Bulkeley Bulldogs’ football and basketball contests. We salute you, MISS MARY C. FINN BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to right: Mr. Raymond J. Kelly; Mr. Armand A. Korzenik; Miss Martha Johnson; Mr. Lewis Fox; Mrs. Madelyn C. Neumann, Secretary; Dr. Vincent P.

Dr. Tooker ' s first assembly. DR. TOOKER On March 2 we welcomed Dr. Ellis Tooker to Bulkeley. A highly educated man, he has attended a variety of educational institutions. He attended Albion Liberal Arts College in Albion, Michigan for three years, majoring in chemistry. From Albion, Dr. Tooker transferred to the University of Michigan where he received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. During this time he also did part time work in Child Psychology at Wayne University in Detroit. He was awarded a Carnegie Fellowship for advanced study at Harvard. In two summers and one academic year, Dr. Tooker did work in psychol¬ ogy and passed the Harvard qualifying paper, one of the many difficult requirements for a doctoral degree. He came to Hartford in 1952. In 1954 and 1955 he did work in preparation for his doctoral degree, which he received in June of 1955. a i i Dr. Tooker’s teaching experience ' includes the teaching of chemistry and physics at Farmington, Michigan, and science at Grosse Pointe, Michigan be¬ tween 1941 and 1942, having received his Masters in 1938. He was also given the job of coaching the Grosse Pointe football team on the strength of his own ability as a player. In 1942 he took a leave for military service. During the first year he taught at the Army Air Force Technical Command. During the next two years he served as a navigation officer in the United States Navy. In 1945 Dr. Tooker took mili¬ tary leave and was teaching as well as doing counsel¬ ing work at Grosse Pointe. In 1951 he became inter¬ ested in guidance and did some work in that field at Wayne University in Detroit. During 1951 and 1952 he was the director of guidance and pupil adjustment at Harvard. Some of Dr. Tooker’s interests include photography and all types of sports. He likes to fish and hunt when he has the opportunity and may be seen on rare occasions fishing on a placid lake or hunting in the Vermont woods. It is a pleasure to have Dr. Tooker with us and we hope that he will enjoy his stay. DR. ELLIS TOOKER M MR. ALEXANDER A. MACKIMMIE, JR. We are fortunate to have Mr. Mackimmie as our prin¬ cipal. Although he is a very busy person, he always finds time to attend our sports events and social activities, and to visit classrooms. PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE When your editor-in-chief approached me in Sep¬ tember with the request that I continue the tradition of writing a principal’s message for Maple Leaves, I was looking forward to a busy and interesting period of working with your class. I was anticipating the excitement, the pleasures and, yes, even the head¬ aches that go with helping you with the final aca¬ demic achievements, the social activities, the p lannin g for the future, and the graduation events that are as¬ sociated with the senior year. As you are aware, a situation developed resulting in a new professional assignment which removed me from the role of your principal As I write this mes¬ sage, I realize fully for the first time that I shall not have the privilege of guiding you through your clos¬ ing days at Bulkeley and participating officially in your Commencement Program. This is a matter of the keenest regret for me. I know that your affairs will be most capably carried out by your officers and committees under the direction of Dr. Tooker, Mr. Bashour, Mrs. Pietrallo, Miss Lane, and Miss Fitz¬ gerald but I shall be the loser, for I shall miss those close contacts that I would have had with you and that mean so much to me. Throughout your four years at Bulkeley I have dis¬ cussed many topics with you at assemblies, class meet¬ ings, student council meetings, committee meetings, and in individual conferences. In this message to you I should like to stress once more something that I have tried to hold before you constantly — the ideal of service to your fellowman. Most of you have taken advantage of the opportunities that the school and community have given you for working with and for others. You have learned through first-hand experi¬ ence that people and causes are important .and that helping neighbors and classmates to achieve happi¬ ness and success really matters. I urge you to continue to cultivate this attitude. I assure you that willingness to give unselfishly of yourself is a basic ingredient to a rich, rewarding and full life. Finally, I should like to express to each of you my appreciation for your contribution to Bulkeley High School. As a class, you have made steady progress dur¬ ing your high school career. I commend you both in¬ dividually and as a group for the fine manner in which you have accepted your responsibilities. Con¬ gratulations on your accomplishments and your com¬ ing graduation. You leave Bulkeley aware that, just as the school has left its mark on you, so too, have you left your imprint on the school. I wish you, as I have wished each of the seven previous Bulkeley classes I have had the honor of calling mine, God speed, confident that you will bring credit to your parents, your teachers, and Bulkeley High School. ALEXANDER A. MACKIMMIE, JR. 8 He crowned our Junior Prom Queen, Pat Shean. He presented many of the Bulkeley awards.

STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Student Council is to promote the general welfare of the school through the cooperation of the faculty and students. The 1958-1959 council, headed by Edward S. Goracy, has various committees each having its own project for the year. The Welcoming Committee is one which, throughout the year, aids new students by guiding them around the school during their first three days at Bulkeley. Another committee, the Booster Committee, has set up a code of ethics for the student.

FOOTBALL A new football era has begun at 470 Maple Avenue. Two outstanding coaches have brought the Big K” era of football to Bulkeley. Head-coach Ed Korisky and his able assistant, Felix Karsky, are the two Big K’s” responsible for the Bulldogs’ fine season. The 1950 undefeated Maroon eleven was the only team in Bulkeley’s history which compiled a better record than this 1958 club’s 6-3 record. After last year’s losing season, Bulkeley’s amazing comeback was a complete surprise to everyone except the Big K’s.” Mr. Ed Korisky developed an inexperienced group of boys into a proud and spirited football team. Dillion Stadium was jam packed as the second annual Football Jamboree got under way. The hosts, Bulkeley and Weaver, combined their scores against H.P.H.S. and E.H.H.S. Bulkeley’s gallant efforts in defeating H.P.H.S. 8-6 and E.H.H.S. 6-0 was all in vain as Weaver’s poor showing put us on the losing side. Jack Gilbert played a terrific offensive game, and Fat” Lou Rossi was the outstanding kick-off man at the Jam¬ boree. Pete Balesano found Ed Goracy alone for a pretty 40 yard pass. This pre-season glimpse of our Bulldogs showed their great potential and high spirits. Our opening game found our two big linemen, Co-cap¬ tain Orest Medynski, and Dick Grieve, opening up huge holes for fleet Tommy Sonnone. Our rough tackling caused four Conard fumbles—the most important of which the alert Gilbert pounced upon. Quarterback Balesano shrewdly lateraled to Bob Raffalo, whose speed turned it into a game winning touchdown. Bulkeley’s 21-8 rout of Norwich was due to a fine team effort. CO-captain Ed Goracy gained five yards per run through the holes opened up by Mark Buonome and Lou Rossi. John Chmielewski’s fine punting kept Norwich deep in their own territory; he also caught a Balesano pass for a touc hdown. An unbelievable 88 yard kickoff return by Mr. Jack Gilbert completely demoralized the Norwich team. Despite the great efforts of Tommy Sonnone and Mark Buonome, E.H.H.S. defeated B.H.S. 14-0. The scoring famine continued until the next Saturday when a fired-up H.P.H.S. shut out the Bulldogs, 16-0. Key fumbles and Gene Jenkins were the two deciding factors in this un- enjoyable loss. The scoring famine was halted when New London High lost to the Maroons 40-6. The out-manned New London team lost 12 yards on their ground attack. Goracy scored the first T.D., and Gilbert followed with another. Tremendous Tommy Sonnone scored three T.D.’s, while guard Orest Medynski’s pass return gave us approximately two feet. Mighty Mite” Raffalo played his best game of the sea¬ son before a small crowd at Wilbur Cross. Guntulis, Buonome, and Sonnone played their hearts out for 47 minutes and 50 seconds. Then with the ball on the Cross 3 yard line, they played even harder as Bulkeley’s Mighty Mite” swept around Buonome’s end for the game’s only touchdown. Merrill Yavinsky and Roger Boucher recovered key fumbles for the Southenders against Weaver. Goracy, Gil¬ bert, and Balesano played another hard, rough game in the running department. Shags” Sheridan led the defense with quite a bit of help from Buonome and Theriault. Bulkeley won this all-important game routing Weaver 34-8. Jack Gilbert goes for 88-yard touchdown. Co-captain Medynski looks ready. Hall’s Johnny Szumczyk proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back in the Bulldogs’ attempt to down a tough Hall Club. The Maroon and White, led by Lucian Theriault, put up a tremendous effort—only to lose by the heart-breaking score of 30-28. Turkey Day 1958—the greatest Thanksgiving Da y in Bulkeley High football history—gave Connecticut its big¬ gest football upset in 25 years. Bulkeley beat New Britain! A team which had not lost a CDC game in four years, which were the CDC leaders, easily the best paper team in Connecticut; and they were decisively beaten by our underdog Bulldogs. Fortunately, our eleven hadn’t read the Golden Hurri¬ cane’s press clippings; if they had read them, they would have known they were supposed to lose. Faced with a 6-0 deficit, our Bulldogs fought to the New Britain 5 yard line. The Little Hustler, Jack Gilbert, pulled down a Bale- sano pass in the end zone. After the catch, Gilbert kissed the ball as if it were his steady girl, The elated eleven then sent old reliable Goose” Goracy around Chmielewski’s end. Ed dragged two defenders into the end zone with him. These vital two points produced the greatest scholas- Terrible Tom” is off again. A block- helps Jack. tic football upset in a quarter of a century. So great was this upset that our Vice-principal began calling off the remaining seconds with over three minutes left to play. Curt Winar, dependable Ralph Worth, rough Shags” Sheridan, big Luc” Theriault, Co-captain Orest Medynski and all C.D.C. end Mark Buonome, Frank Tarallo, and so many more gave us a really enjoyable Turkey dinner. If I had enough space to name each member of the Bulldogs I would—because every member of the team made possible this memorable upset. Jackie Gilbert, who never played organized football be¬ fore, but who is a star athlete and a great hustler, was awarded the Babe Allen Trophy. This trophy is awarded annually to the best Bulkeley player in the New Britain game. This climaxed a remarkable season for the 1958 Bulkeley football team. Bob Sheridan, a defensive stickout, received the “Best Blocking Lineman Trophy,” while Gilbert received another award for the Best Blocking Back.” Also, Zigmond Pab- lch was awarded a trophy for maintaining the highest scholastic average during the football season.

CROSS-COUNTRY The cross-country team finished their 1958 season with a great 8-2 record. Leading this year’s team were Seniors Paul Koda, Casimir Swiatocho, and captain Dave Little; Juniors, Mike Boyle, Bob Mason, Dennis Leigh, Vin Supple and Larry Camarca; Sophomores, A1 Puglisi—all lettermen. The 1958 season opened on September 19. This date marked the ' first of seven successive victories. Manchester was the first to topple as Captain Dave Little paced the Bulkeley Harriers to a 21-36 victory. Next to fall victims to our team was Conard, fol¬ lowed in rapid succession by East Hartford, Norwich, New London and Weaver, Of these teams, Norwich displayed the best talent, putting up a great fight to find themselves on the short end of a 27-28 score at the end of the race. Captain Dave Little deserves credit for his fine per¬ formance in each encounter, placing first in each one and leading his teammates on to victory. On October 9, led by Little and Swiatocho, our team completely humiliated Windham High by taking the first nine places and producing the perfect score of 15-60. A1 Puglisi,- a promising sophomore, turned in a fine performance in a losing cause as our team was out-run by the state champs, New Britain. This ended the team’s hopes of an undefeated season. On Friday, October 18, at Keney Park, the Bulkeley Harriers managed a tie with Hartford Public High at the Greater Hartford Cross Country Meet. Placing sixth, seventh, and eighth were Dave Little, Mike Boyle, and Bob Mason, respectively. Also placing were A1 Puglisi, twelfth, and Dennis Leigh, fifteenth. As a result of the flying feet and stamina which these boys have, Bulkeley defeated East Hartford High, Weaver, Wethersfield and Conard. Our J.V.’s, paced by Vin Supple, first, followed closely by Charles Bassos, second, and Frank Budarz, fourth, overpow¬ ered their opponents, to take first place in the meet. At the Eastern Sectionals Bulkeley placed eleventh in competition with twenty other schools. Senior Paul Koda placed 32nd and Sophomore A1 Puglisi (the boy to watch) placed 37th. At the city meet on October 29 our team was beat¬ en by Hartford High, but retaliated by defeating Weaver 24-33. Junior, Bob Mason, finished fifth, fol¬ lowed by Little, sixth. Mike Boyle and A1 Puglisi finished eighth and ninth, while Paul Koda came in twelfth and Larry Camarca finished 14th. Sturdy John Puglisi led our J.V. Team to a 16-39 romp over their Hartford High counterparts. In the State meet at New Britain Teachers’ Col¬ lege, Bulkeley placed 15th in competition with forty schools from all parts of the state. Dave Little finished 45th and A1 Puglisi (there’s that name again) came Only two and a half miles left. in 59th. Dennis Leigh, normally a sprinter on the track team, finished 64th, while Paul Koda finished 93rd and Mike Boyle 130th. Flash” Atlin coached them well and worked them hard, and the boys profited by both experiences, post¬ ing a respectable 8-2 record. Our J.V. team, with wins over Conard, Weaver, New Britain and Hartford High, finished their win¬ ning season with a 4-3 record. B.H.S. VARSITY OPPONENTS 21 W 36 Manchester 21 w 38 Conard 23 w 36 E.

SWIMMING Despite the excellent training received from Coach Flash Atlin, and although they possessed much potential, the Bulkeley Bullfrogs finished their season with a disappointing 2 and 8 record. But the team wasn’t as wholly unsuccess¬ ful as their record might suggest. They lost three very close meets to Middletown, Bristol, and New London, by one, two, and three points, respectively. The potential rested largely in co-captains, Tony Anderson and Bob Benny, although much support was given by Raffalo, Peatie, Waitkus, and Connelly. Tony Anderson scored the most points for the Bullfrogs, 74, during a season of ten meets. Runner-up to Anderson was Scott Peatie who totaled 49 for the season. Raffalo and Benny were tied with 46 points apiece. Bob Raffalo qualified fourth in the New England Finals and returned to Bulkeley after having captured second place in the state diving competition. Raffalo was undefeated in diving for the first 6 meets, but dropped 2 out of the last 4 due to an off-night and stiff competi¬ tion. In a meet with New London, the Bulkeley Bullfrogs came through in a medley relay, with a team composed of Bob Benny, Dennis Leigh, Scott Peatie, and Bob Waitkus, in the splendid time of 1:33.4—definitely a marvelous feat.

BASKETBALL “Football or basketball, we’ll talk about both! ” That was Bulkeley’s cry as the Maroons opened their season with an easy 70-54 victory over New Britain. Strogoff and Leghorn, neither of whom played the second half, were high scorers. A cold Bulkeley team squeeked by East Hartford on December 19. Strogoff, who scored 27 big points, pulled this exciting contest into an overtime period. Although Strogoff was our hero at E.H.H.S., he didn’t play much against Hall. A couple of other starters, Leghorn and Chmielewski, combined for a splendid night. We routed Hall 66-56, mainly by Butch’s” fine corner jump shot and Leghorn’s pretty drives. Norwich Free Academy, upstate basketball power, was completely routed by a sharp-shooting Maroon five. Butch,” Moose,” and Jackie broke the back of this team by employing a full court press. These same three men scored 52 points, mainly on deadly jump- shots, and took turns stealing passes. This was easily our best showing and supported our respectable 4-0 record. Even though Bulkeley High was given only 75 tic¬ kets from Wethersfield, at least 300 Bulkeleyites wit¬ nessed the thrashing the Bulldogs gave to the Eagles. The Maroon had a harder time at New London, al¬ though we finally added them to our growing list of beaten teams. Moose” Melluzzo’s 28 points had a lot to do with N.L.’s loss and “Butch’s” jump made him a few “enemies” at Wethersfield. History repeated itself on January 9, as a previously unbeaten Maroon and White was defeated by Weaver 70-66. As was the case last year, we were outre- bounded 2 to 1, and this told the story. Jackie Gil¬ bert was brilliant in defeat. B.H.S. continued in this mid-season slump losing another City Series game, this time to Hartford High. Despite the fact that Gilbert and Melluzzo had been ill the previous week, our Bulldogs were gallant in defeat as Leghorn and Chmielewski tried gallantly to salvage our fading City Series hopes. New London High School pushed Bulkeley, but finally succumbed 81-71. Battling Mark Buonome, SB. who earned a starting berth, did a fine job. Leghorn made 23 points, Chmielewski made 21 points, and the entire team shot over 50 per cent, an amazing fact. The team named Desire” is a nickname given to the spirited Bulkeley five which downed Norwich 71-63. Losing at every turn and by a respectable 10 points in the final quarter was something which Gil¬ bert, Chmielewski, and Melluzzo forgot as they fought the long uphill battle. Butch” turning from goat” to hero in 27 seconds tied the score amidst a tre¬ mendous ovation. When the game went to overtime, Mr. Take Charge Gilbert made it a complete rout as they scored 2 points to our 10. Bulkeley went on to defeat Crosby and East Hart¬ ford with little trouble. In each game, one of our ver¬ satile starters pulled himself up for the game and Bulkeley went away victorious. New Britain High School, with a Remember Tur¬ key Day” war cry, upset Bulkeley’s applecart and handed us an all important 68-66 loss. Had Bulkeley won, they would probably have done better in the tournament. Ronnie Noveck, the N.B. football cap¬ tain, got 34 as a downhearted Maroon and White team saw their Capital District Conference hopes die. Bulkeley defeated H.P.H.S. in a wild contest 65-54. Chmielewski made 22 points playing one of his best games and Leghorn helped by rebounding in some key positions. R. Copes, who (to quote the Hartford Times makes up with unsportsmanlike conduct what he lacks in ability”) pushed Leghorn and started a fist fight. Jackie Gilbert, who had previously and pic¬ turesquely stuck his tongue out at Copes, dove to tackle the villain. After quite a few punches were landed, order was restored. All in all, it was quite a game! An outmanned Wethersfield High School was added to B.H.S.’s list of wins. Leghorn, an All-State scorer, made 24 points and Chmielewski’s jump shot was good for 8 baskets. Buonome did a wonderful de¬ fensive job on Morrissette while Gilbert and Melluzzo played an unusually fine game. Upon the completion of this fine 13-4 season, the Bulldogs easily qualified for the CIAC tourney in New Haven, and under the complicated rating system earned eighth place. On Friday, February 28, we made our first appearance in the Arena a successful one. This game was Mr. Mackimmie’s last responsi¬ bility as principal of Bulkeley High and the boys Butch” just won’t get pushed around. came through in fine style to show their appreciation of his outstanding leadership. The Maroons raced to a quick lead due to Sebby Melluzzo’s fine passing and shooting. In the second half Barry Leghorn’s repeated drives plus Johnny Chmielewski’s deadly jumper (which is quite reminiscent of Carmen Perrone’s one- hander) kept us in the contest. Despite Coach Lou Bazzano’s early substitutions, Barry Leghorn topped all scorers with 20 points while John Chmielewski scored 14. Rugged Mark Buonome played his usual fine game off the boards. Naugatuck, the fourth ranked team in the tourney, was our next opponent. The Greyhounds, the tallest team in the tournament, were heavy favorites; but our team named Desire” made up in hustle what ' they lacked in height to jump with a 27-14 lead at the buzzer. Jackie Gilbert unveiled a new shot in this period and he continually swished it in over Naugy’s gigantic outer, Ed Slomcenski, who, incidentally, was held to 15 points by Barry Leghorn and Mark Buo¬ nome. In the second period Legs” joined Gil” in the scoring, but the Greyhounds went on a rampage here and cut our lead to a single point, 42-41, at half¬ time. Gilbert had 19 points (mostly on his newly patented shot) at the half time. In period three, Naugy continued to play hot basketball and rushed into a 61-58 lead at the three-quarter mark; but both Jack shows his new patented shot. 112 of their big (and we mean big) men were saddled with four fouls and the Bulldogs simply pulled away with a closing spurt. Leghorn and Gilbert led the scoring parade with 26 and 25 points, respectively. Buonome chipped in with 18 and John Chmielewski had 12. Our boys hit for a brilliant 44 out of 52 foul shots, which was most instrumental in the big win. Bulkeley was next called on to play the top-rated defending state champions, Wilbur Cross. The Baz- zanomen were not impressed with Cross’ big build¬ up and fought them tooth and nail. In the opening half, Sebby Melluzzo led the inspired attack. The half closed with th e score 33-29 in favor of the Gov¬ ernors. At the resumption of the second half we quickly knotted the score at 35-35. Unfortunately we suffered a great setback a few minutes later: Jackie Fireball” Gilbert collapsed and had to be carried from the Arena. He was suffering from a severe back injury which he had incurred earlier in the game, but due to his never say die attitude,” he continued in the contest under great pain. Immediately after the little Spitfire’s” departure the complexion of the game changed, although we did manage to hold on for a while. Barry Leghorn, whose performance in the tour¬ nament was one that will long be remembered, was elected to the all-tournament team. He scored 69 points in three games, while the existing scoring rec- Chimy” puts in two more points. 113 Mike chalks up a hang. Barry shows his soft touch, Leghorn’s left-handed hook nets two. Buonome sweeps down another rebound. ord is only 77 points in four games. Truly a great performance for Barry, and, moreover, a superlative effort from the entire team throughout the post-season classic. Johnny Chmielewski. Bobby Pecott. Seated: P. Corcoran. G. Paterno, J.
