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.

DECELERATION-.Dick Stanton, hard driver and accurate jump shooter, fakes a pass in a game against Bishop Neumann. Dick's all-around ability earned for him Honorable Mention on the All-Cathglic team. EXTRA LIFT-Sparkplug Mike Schanne, excellent guard and potent outside shooter, exhibits his unorthodox jump shot against St. Thomas More. Well-respected throughout the league for his ability. Mike was named second string All- Catholic. Although advance publicity pro- claimed its probable landing -spot to be at the playoffs, the Friar quintet lacked the experience and height of a cham- pionship team. While their 6-8 record was not excep- tional, it does not disclose the heart- breaking setbacks which the team suf- fered. The true potential of this talented aggregation never appeared, but, occa- sionally, it shone through in brilliant play. Upsets of LaSalle and West Cath- olic and a surprise to St. .l0seph's Prep attest to the fierce determination of the Bonner quintet. Included in the starting lineup were Bill Campbell, Chuck Mc- Kenna, Dick Stanton, Mike Schanne, and Charlie Mullery. When holding down starting positions, Captain Bob Nixon and Fran Murray lifted the spirit of the entire team. Tracking stations throughout the area confirm the fact that, while Bonner was often outscored, it was never outfought. globe frorfers I NUCLEAR PROPULSION- Stick Mc- Kenna, the tallest man on the team and a revelation in the pivot, tries to shoot over Marty Ford of West Catholic. His scoring rampages during mid-season games were given recognition by an Honorable Men- tion spot on the All-Catholic squad. PROJECTILE-Charlie Mullery attempts a layup in a game against Father Judge. In the games that Charlie started, he exhibited a smooth jump shot and an ability to foil the 0pp0sition's scoring threats.
