.'l ' ' ' BOYS IN SPORTS During the last half century, the high schools of New York have steadily been building reputations in various athletic fields. Lafayette has achieved athletic recognition in the short time of a decade. Up until 1947, Lafayette had the reputation of possessing one of the poor- est football teams in the city. In the three short years since Harry Ostro took over the reins of the gridders, Lafayette has become one of the dominant powers in P.S.A.L. competition. ln 1949, the Eleven posted the most victories ever recorded by a Maroon team. Next year's team will sorely miss the great broken field running of Ciro Masso and the'solid linework of Herby Tanzer. As tradition has it the soccer team, under the leadership of Coach Sy Yudell has once again brought the Brooklyn Soccer Crown to Lafayette. The booters will lose the services of three outstanding All-Scholastic players. Snooty Fertman, our splendid goalie, Herman Druckman and Vinnie Pal- mieri, who also started for the varsity nine, will be among the outstanding graduates of the Iune '50 class. Other standout booters who will graduate are Co-Captain Ioe Aniano. Paul Kaltinick, Iohn Kovacs. Ice DiPace. and Dick Menahem. Once again the Lafayette Cagers have developed their share of stand- out players. Sal Bonafede paced the team with two hundred and seven points and Vinnie Zoda captured second place with one hundred ninety-five points. Captain Rollo De Rossi, Tony Glorioso, Ralph Longo and Coach George Eggers also departed. The baseball team, under tutelage of their new coach, Chuck Sheerin. have just completed another successful season. Their greatest loss will be last year's All-Scholastic catcher, Mike Napoli. One of the lesser publicized squads in the school, the handball team, under Iulie Iacobs, will feel the loss of Co-Captains Howie Iagoda and Max Braverman. Monroe Horden, one of the outstanding doubles players in the city, will also receive his diploma this Iune. The class of Iune '50 has witnessed the formation of a new squad in Lafayette. A Rifle Team, guided by Mr. Berk. has been entered in P.S.A.L. competition. Sharpshooting Ioe Incantalupo will be long remembered as the first captain of the team. The gfwdzmtes of june 1950, who played on the varsity teams, have upheld the honor and tmdiliofz of Lafayette High Sehool. We hope that future graduatifzg flame! will eonrizzue to retain thix fue tradition. by RONALD ELLMAN. BII.LY HANDEL. and IRWIN SCHERAGO Twenty-seven
