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.

The wrestling team, under the able leadership of Coach Farrington, was tremendously successful in its second full season here at john jay. john Jay soon established itself as one of the better teams in the county by defeating all local opponents and giving powerful Scarsclale, perhaps the best team in the county, FK. a real battle before eventually succumbing to a 30-14 defeat. The enthusiasm if L9 F5 icq and support of the student body was appreciated by a green squad who soon - 'I C 'fi demonstrated great potential. The outlook for next season is good, for almost all of the outstanding performers on this year's squad will return. BASEBALL This year was the first during which we used our home field. It is one of the nicest in the league, favoring left-handed batters with its short right field. john jay's second season of varsity baseball was eagerly anticipated by mem- bers of the squad, who awaited the chance to defend our N.W.l.L. Champion- ship, which we had previously won three years in a row. Many of the fine ball players who were members of last year's squad provided the backbone for an age gressive team. GOLF Interscholastic golf has become an increasingly popular sport at john lay. This year under Coach Collins, the team has worked hard to get in fighting trim for the season ahead, TRACK A large number of track candidates reported to Mr. Cibson early in March. The increased interest in the sport had a strong effect as the team posted its best record in three years. The many freshmen and sophomores on the squad indicate a promising future for track at john jay. XA! F Q -A Q 'N . .
