SOCCER For the first time in the history of B'Ville athletics, Soccer was introduced as a minor sport. Under the leadership of a very able and capable coach. Mr. Joseph Guerrera, the team did remark- ably well for the first season. Perhaps the greatest thrill for any new team would be the ability to tie the county champions. Well, that's just what they did. Although Bald- winsville did not win a game in the initial season, they may claim a very commendable record. The following boys were members of the soccer squad, but all expect to leave school through grad- uation: William Currie. Marvin Hay. Harry Shriver, Edward Rourke. Stanley Minnoe, Donald Beebe. • and Howard Crego. Although all these boys are lost to the team, many new prospects are in view for the champion- ship team B'Ville expects to produce next year.
