Among these were fullback Charley lenkins, Ctrcaptains Glynn Xlorris and Les Sheppard, and defenseman lack O,Brien. Many other players ably supported thc squad and did their jobs well. Although the rec- ord itself was not as good as that of last year, the team was at all times supported enthusiastically by the school. l.V. Football The l.V.'s, under the leadership of Coach Col- lins, did not have a successful season as far as rec- ords indieate, but were successful in developing players with potential, who will give their services to the varsity next year. Outstanding players, such as Richie Uuliliy, Bob Curtis, and Don Fiacco, make us sure that .lohn 'lay will continue to have winning seasons ahead, despite the departure of many fine varsity football players this year.

This year's varsity basketball squad displayed good shooting, good control of the backboard and good ball handling. The season was a great success, not only because of the winning record, but also because of the fine school spirit and spectator interest throughout the campaign. Out- standing have been the performances of Co-captain Bob Duffy and Charley jenkins, two players whose efforts and abilities contributed strongly to the teamis many victories. VVith seven underclassmen on this year's winning squad, our adroit coach, Mr. Boissey, can look for- ward to future seasons of basketball success. junior Varsity Basketball Although our junior varsity basketball team failed to post more wins than losses, the season had several highlights. Most significant was the playmaking and scoring of Richie Duffy. Richie's ability earned him a berth on the varsity for the second half of the season. A welcome addition to our coaching staff was Mr. Tom Collins whose enthusiasm and knowledge of basketball developed the junior varsity team.
