A year ago our Red Devils, hav- ing a great season, got into the playoffs and this year we came up with another winning team. With Andy Edelman the only returning starter from the previous year. Mr. Jensen molded a unit from the members of last years' varsity and it proved to be one of the best in the league. The squad was composed of seven seniors-all of whom, except Andy, had joined the varsity in their Junior year,-and nine juniors. Andy has been on varsity since his freshman year, and Dave Nesbitt, a junior, has been a member since his sophomore year. The boys who played outstanding ball all season were: Andy Edelman, Bob Christman, Bob Hoenig, Dave Nesbitt, Bob Spar, and Roger Wallman. Andy, excelling mainly on the jump shots and drives, led the team in scoring. Bob Christman was close on his heels in the scoring department and together they provided an eifective one-two punch. Bob Spar displayed a quick, accurate jump shot from the outside and Bob Hoenig had a soft one-handed push shot from either the side or the top. Dave Nesbitt and Roger Wallman, besides being good rebounders, proved to be good shoo.ters too. It was readily apparent in all the games, that all sc.,

thatrday, Clinton would have beqteh ahyone. Co-captains-Tom Edwards, Paul Faulkner Row 1: Frank Piscothe, Joe Brondolo, Bob Spencer, Ralph Amitile, Roger Leuci, Richard Tirrell, Arthur Spiel, Morton Newfeld, James Holland, Bill Olsen, Nelson Lopez, James Behan, Randy Edelman, James Izzolo, Phil Garfolo, Bob Our one defeat came at the hands of a keyed up Dew' Clinton team who upset Flushing by a score of 25- 2. No excuse can be given Qpgthat result. On 'lite team as a whole worked iwpndeliully. But as we seniors look back over thi 'past ,year we re- member certain players who did heirrbest so that Flushing could achieve that notch that it did. We can't forget Bob Hoenig, jwho sensationally played his end position, and was rewarded by being named in most of the New York City pers, to their First All teams. Seniors, such as the t, o co-captains, Tommy Edwards and Paul Faulkner, who per- formed especially well, will always be remembered. Without Tom's leadership at quarterback, and Paul's key blocking and fine ruriling, heaven knows where we would be. There were many juniors who added their talents but they have another year to be lauded. As time grows short, we must concern our- selves further with the gradixates:bRoger Leuci, the other end, Bob Maxim, Milieglngenito, bruising tackles, Steve Brodie, Hndwl and kicker, Howie Norman, Randy Edelman, Bill Olson, Rich Tirrellg Marcik. Row 25 Harry Squassoni, Bill Carlucci, James De Pass, Mike Igenito, David Auerbach, Bob Hoenig, Irwin Kolodony, Richard Gonzalez, Cleave Bethea, Mr. Berg- coach, Bob Maxim, Pat Sammon, Bob Sanchez, Richard Bertani, Bob Johnson, Dave Nesbitt, Nick Diomede, Steve Brodie. they too added to the final end-Victory. So as we seniors leave the halls of Flushing we'll remember the Flushing Red Devils Football team of 1957 1958 and how they added prestige and popularity to our school in this, our senior year.
