Credit must be given to Coach Ran¬ som and his staff. It should also be remembered that behind a good coach are some good players and this year’s squad was no exception. Offensive and defensive standouts included Frank Ruane, Jack Hughes, Walter Cieplik, Frank Magliochetti and Kevin Doherty. I came, I played, 1 pondered. A drum solo! 14
