BASEBALL As we prepare ourselves for the 1953 baseball season, we cannot fail to remember the wondrous exploits of the 1952 Diman team and how they acquired the championship in the Narragansett League through courage, determination, skill and above all as a result of the excellent coaching of Messrs. Charles C. O'Keefe and Robert j. Hayden, Jr. Led by such outstanding seniors as Stan Szelag, Frank Mello, Ed. Fernandes, and Bob Lavoie, Diman compiled an outstanding record, winning ten games and only tasting defeat twice. In fact the school baseball team had attained such outstanding publicity that Coach O'Keefe and his diamond boys were invited to compete with other outstanding baseball teams in Massachusetts for the class C championship. All went well until the semi-final game at Middle- boro when Diman met a stronger but definitely not a more skillful Bridgewater team and our baseballers were driven to defeat. Irregardless of the ultimate results, the entire school enrollment at Diman was tremendously proud of the baseball team and knew that the leadership and indomitable will-to-win spirit which all the players possessed could only prophesize greater and better things to come in baseball at Diman. We, therefore, look for a very successful season in 1955 with such stalwart players as Bill Prayzner, Armand Carreiro, John Pieroni of the senior class, and Al Ferreira, Jock Letender, and Fred Lebel of the junior class leading the Diman team onward to victory. .

Keep to the Right TRAFFIC SQUAD Increased enrollment, afways a sign of progress, also pre- saged a period of traffic problems and difficulties. To counteract these difficulties, the traffic squad was neces- sarily augmented by Faculty Moderator, Mr. August P. Curt. This made it by far the largest traffic squad in Diman's history. William E. Frain and John Daly were elected Chief and Assistant Chief of Traffic, respectively. james White was chosen Recording Secretary. These officers and their squad ably expedited and carried out the school's traffic policies. The Traffic Court, comprising the elected officers of the Traffic Squad, sat in judgment of the traffic violators. The arduous rigors of regulating traffic were accomplished with unerring ease and facility by these officers and their traffic squad. This can be attested to by the remarkably few violators brought before the Court. We, the members of the Artisan Staff, extend to you of the traffic squad, a hearty and convincing well done! 70
