The 1200 people in the McQuaid gym could see ten of the twelve members of the first McQuaid varsity. They also saw the five starters from last year's out- standing junior varsity team. True, this year they were a senior varsity, but they were playing the three best in the county. In fact the county's best were providing the opposition in the first three encounters. It was obvious to Mr. Mona- gan and his charges, if to no one else, that much hard work would be necessary for a successful season. The varsity saw it through those first three games.

Two weeks later East Rochester showed its face and opened an eight point lead at the three quarter mark, The Knights rallied behind Gerry Locklin to even the score at the final buzzer and then went on to win in overtime. Artie Meyer scored 99 points in the next four starts. To start Christmas vacation, Artie came up with 22 points to lead the 75-point splurge which de- feated Jefferson. The next night it was off to Fairport to be greeted by a vastlty improved team. Despite Meyer's 23 points, the varsity was handed its first defeat, 61-60. An extra-long Christmas holiday didn't cool off Artie Meyer as his 28 points led the Knights over the host Webster team. At home the next night, Charlotte came to see Artie score 26 points. 83 We're behind! Let's go gang! The second game with Brockport. a Get out of my way!
