'iw-,- v P . L. is , Prep's first football squad: 1924 wa. 'F 'I ' 0 Through the 1950's Prep's Ramblers became powers to reckon with in most of the major sports in the city. In the 1952-53 and in the 1953-54 seasons. Prep's basketball teams were State Catholic champions. Prep has continued its excellence in athletic contests up until this present Jubilee year, adding trophy after trophy to its coveted collection as it has accepted championship crowns in these fields of competition. Its development in these areas greatly contrasts its humble begimzings. Prep's athletes have gone on to colleges and out into the world not only as excellent sportsmen but as men polished with qualities of leadership and excellence in character and personality. The planners of the building which had been dedicated in 1944 had thought that the physical facilities would finally meet every conceivable need. But an ever-growing enrollment re- opened the space problem. In 1954 another addition was constructed: a building housing laboratories, four classrooms, a student senate. a health suite, an auditorium seating 1200, an indoor track now carpeted with astro-turf, and a rifle range. e--' . .iHP.M1:5!' -.'T.- -Q l The Most Reverend Amlcto Giovanni Cicognuni.
