VARSITY BASEBALL This year's baseball team will be strengthened by the return of ten of last year's letter-men, namely: Capt. Jimmy Piersall, Bart Daly, Sal Recchia, Dick Howard, Dick Daddona, Joe Aufiero, Art Barstis, Al Dostaler, and Dick Porto. Last year, Leavenworth 'walked-off' with the Al Kelley trophy by winning both Inter-City football games, all tour ot the basketball games, and three of the tour baseball games. This was the best record for one school to register since the inauguration of this trophy. This year the baseball team's objective has been 'cut out' tor it, because the race for the Kelley trophy is tied, with both Crosby and Wilby equaling Leavenworth's 20 points. The Squad is as follows: CATCH ERS- Bart Daly Don Aufiero PITCHERS- Vinny Synkowicz Dick Porto Johnny Clark Paul Kalinowski lNFlELDERS- Sal Recchia Dick Howard Dick Daddona Bernie Sherw.ll Al Dostaler Mario Bottachiari OUTFIELDERS- Jimmy Piersall CCAPTJ Art Barstis Joe Aufiero 'Ace' Bernabe BASEBALL SCHEDULE Leavenworth-l 5 Gilbert I6 Leavenworth , ,., .

CHEERLEADERS Under the skillful guidance of Miss Mary Casey, Leavenworth has produced a good squad of cheerleaders this year. Their superb work in leading the many cheers at almost every game contributed greatly toward the moral of the football and basketball players. This boost in moral was responsible for many of our victories. At the Thanksgiving Day football game with Crosby, a group of students were organized to act as a pep squad. This pep squad, led by the cheer- leaders, paraded on the field at half time carrying a Leavenworth banner and cheering. The girls also did exceptionally well in leading the cheers during our most successful Basketball season, as well as in the state tournament in New Haven. The squad consists of thirteen girls, three of whom are baton twirlers. There are seven girls who wear the traditional red and white suits, while the remaining three have skirts and sweaters. Pictured above, the girls are Cfirst row-left to rightiz Marie Genovese fcaptaini, Lois Schilling, Betty Vrotocoe, Jane Simpson. lSecond rowl: Louise DeSantis, Marie DePalma, Barbara Cook, Antoinette Silco, Shirley Boisvert, Joseph Salvatore, Lucille Drozd, June Asplund, Viola Verrastro.
