The Diman Vocational High School football team has completed its fifth year in competitive sports. Due to the innumerable injuries suffered by the team, the season was not an impressive one with Diman having a record of two victories, three defeats and one tie. The game played between Diman and St. Anthony's will be remembered and regarded by the team as the game of the year to win because most of the injuries were sustained in this game. If Diman never wins a game all season but beats St. Anthony's, they will consider themselves as having a very successful season. Under the direction and supervision of the coach, Mr. Charles 0'Keefe, and the assistant coach, Mr. Stanley Remiesiewicz, the team worked long and hard, but, due to casualties, was unable to come through. Diman has the distinction of being the only team to score fourteen against Dighton team, which was the Champion of the Narragansett League. Pierre Hebert, the brilliant guard of Diman, who was considered the fifth man in the oppo- sition's baclcfield, was elected to the first team of the Narrangansett League's Cream of the Crop team. The fullback and captain of Diman, Jim Carey, was elected to the second team, and guard Jim Cyr was given honorable mention along with right halfback Ed Schmoke, and left halfback John Souza. In the years ahead we wish the teams of the future great success and may they attain the highest standards.

..-.- - , M, . . - D1man's basketball team, under the leadership of their coach, Mr. Charles 0'Keefe, received well-deserved credit for their outstanding achievements in basketball this season by winning thirteen out of their fourteen scheduled games for the season. Diman Vocational, after winning the Narragarsett League Championship accepted an invitation to participate in Class C of the Headmaster Tourney held annually at the Boston Garden. This a.nnouncement was accepted with a great ovation by the school and well-wishers. It was the first time that any trade school had been invited to the tourney. Although facing strong opposition, the Voke quintet was led to victory over three games by Captain .Tim Carey, who was high-scorer in this division. Ed Fernandes astounded the crowd at the Garden with his one-handed push shots from half court. Ed Schmoke thrilled the crowd with his deceptiveness, speed and dribbling ability, and George Lelievre, the towering center, along with forward Len Perreira, captured rebound laurels. - After swamping a highly favored Ipswich team in the first game by the lopsided score of 59 to 27, Diman ran into difficulty defeating Oliver Ames in the second game 42 to 39. Diman came back strong in the third and final game by defeating Punchard, 46 to 36, to win the Eastern Massa- chusetts State Championship, which in previous years was won by Punchard High. At a banquet held for the team, Coach O'Keefe received a bond from the Citizens' Committee and another gift from the players. The members of the team each received jackets and miniature gold basketballs.
