FREE 'FALL-Leslie Johnson., a rare combination of speed and size, careens past a falling safetyman and continues upfield hehind blocking. Although not on the All-Catholic teams, he manifested enough skill to deserve our choice as the bark with the most potential in the Catholic League. FLEEING THE FALCONS--Rich Latella, our big- gest run-back threat and ace defensive back, is shown during a touchdown romp against the North Catholic Falcons. His outstanding speed and his ability to change direction quickly made him a man to be reckoned with at all times. MAIN STAGE-Jack Mcllhenney. excellent field general and the backbone on the offensive team, scampers up the middle for a considerable gain against West Catholic. Jack's able ball-handling and strong running were aptly demonstrated in this -thrilling game as he led the team to a 20-14 victory over our traditional rivals. , ,W ,

5 4 ROCKET AWAY-Mike Carroll sharpens up his kicking form before a game at Villanova Stadium. Mike contributed much to the Bonner Championship drive. ll was his sure fooled kicking and fleet running that bailed the Friars out of deep water more than once. With fellows like Mike on the .l.V., Bonner 1-an be sure- that it will have an ample supply of future Varsity stars. Passxhg the pay!oaa'--- rn, .L , , l 1' POWERFUL ACCELERATION-Joe Carroll is another up-and-coming Star at Bonner. Here he eludes a St. ' James defender for a substantial gain. Joe is a power- house of both spirit and ability which is ample reason for his football success. Although playing in the shadow of his twin brother Mike, he has displayed the qualities necessary for a first rate halfback. Bonner's .l.V., a spirited, well-rounded foot- ball team finished the campaign with a 4-1-1 record. The .l.V. is the proving ground for the future varsity hopefuls and many of Bonner's stars have emerged from its ranks. Among the outstanding players are the Carroll brothers, Mike and Joe, who seem to do everything but work the scoreboard. When Mike is not run- ning, .loe is always catching a pass and vice versa. Eclipsed by the record of the Varsity, the ,l.V. distinguished itself, as many of its members were among the sturdy reserves who helped shape Bonneris Championship team.
