UW, W NIM NO' WAY TO STOP IT-The cham- pionships, that is, when this foursome gets together on the green. Composed of Seniors with three years appren- ticeship under the watchful eye of Fr. Dreger, the linksmen promise a cham- pionship. Pictured here are: fleft to rightj J. Klein, Fr. Dreger, F. Booth, and C. O'Donnell. WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK and plenty of practice, J. Klein has become adept atqsink- ing those all-important putts. On the green, the men are separated from the boys and the Friars take- away every opportunity to perfect their putting skills. The spotlight shines brightly on the '4Masters of the F riars' golf team. Keeping up to par is an easy assignment for the linksmen of Bonner. Directed by Father Dreger, these boys learned the fundamentals quickly and progressed rapidly in the game. Heading the parade of stars this year are: C. O'Donnell, T. Lallone, J. Young, J. Klein and F. Booth. TEE FOR TWO -- But no tee and no ball -just a pair of clubs to swing around. Jim Young and Tom Lallone get into shape before the season opens. These two Seniors have the experience necessary for a top-notch team.

SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES-Jim Malone, Charlie Odg- ers and Ed Millison display their firing position. With steady hands and sharp eyes they await the command to fire. Their sights set on the stars, the Bonner riflemen confidently await all opponents. Led by a corps of experienced Seniors, they feel sure of success on the rifle range. The marksmen are confronted with a drawback in that they are not equipped with a range for practice. Despite this handicap, they are stars in the ascendant. Moderator and coach, Fr. Spinelli, employs the talents of these Bonner men to the utmost. With such spirit and determination prevalent, success cannot elude the grasp of the Bonner rifle team. BONNER'S RIFLEMEN--Standing: W.
