As a matter of fact, we can only rave about our base- lla ll team. Vlle have power and pitching, hut some- times it isn't there when we want it. For instance, in the home run department, Bud Foley has two, Wilbur ,Iacohson has one. Ralph Ranieri has so many triples and douhles we have lost count. ln the pitching department, Wlilbur Jacobson has as many as eleven strikeouts in one game, while Aldo Della has a couple of neat three-hitters to his credit. How can a team like that lose? And yet, we have lost several games. This writer fails completely to understand it. Our nine this year is fast, hrainy. and resourceful, and still is in third place. Do you get it? l, for one, don't. Vllith a lineup like Bud Foley, first base: ,loc Daley. second haseg Lotsy Chehetar. short stopg Ralph Hanieri, third haseg Realm Ban- non, left field, John Janos, center field, and Felix Cirone, right field, no one who knows these hoys would expect the team to lose. lt comes through with victories, don't misunderstand mel But llIl yll'P not, at this writing, winning the league!

VARSITY ANB IUNIIIR VARSITY BASKETBALL IJW, here's something ahout which we can really ta1kIDo you think Long Island University and the rest of those teams are good? We walked away with the Hudson River League trophy five times in the last eight years and we'll prohahly do hetter than that in the future. Can Long Island University make a claim that high? We have a pair of human pogo-sticks named Felix Girone and Frank Ennis to take the ball off the hackhoard, and the way that Bud Foley, those two mentioned ahove, Wlilhur Jacobson, and Ralph Ranieri make points, youid he willing to swear that they're throwing the hall into a funnel. Are we good? And How! THE JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM this year went through a gruelling schedule of 16 games, winning 11, while losing hut 5. They missed the Hudson River League Championship hy the width of a Wlleaties flake. placing second to the Peekskill quintet. Coach Kenneth Martin, in his first year of work, took a group of green youngsters and changed them into a smooth working quintet which had its opponents running around in circles. Their hril- liant performances gave rise to great hopes of fu- ture varsities.

This increased the number of matches that could be played and also the number of victories. The team was well coached by lllr. Ramp. and with the addition of several underclassmen, looks forward to even better seasons in the future. Members of the team were George Distefano, Bill Underdonk, Dick von Kummcr, Don Pollock, Cortland Collier, Mel Geldern, Dan Grubstein. Ru- pert Austin, Charles Martin and Tom Lofaro. INTERGLASS 0N'T THINK FUR A MONIENT, however, that the physical education program at N.T. is con- cerned only with our Supermen. Far from it, we have many and varied sports that help in the build- ing up normal students in thc school. As a partial list, we have Tnterclass basketball, along with bad- minton, ping pong, handball, punchball lQthere's a fast gamel and softball. I could name more, but we only have so many pages in the book you know. By fostering such competition, our Physical Ed- ucation department is doing its part in fulhlling the promise made to our government by schools throughout the country. W7e,ll give you the men, you give them the equipment. American teachers realize that our nation is faced with a crisis that is more dangerous to our mutual interests than any other in our historyg they realize that it will take men with wills of iron and bodies of steel to over- come this crisis. N.T. is giving more than its quota gladly and with pride. HEALTH 'l' THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR the stu- dents were examined by State Doctors for de- fects in posture. Those pupils who had noticeable faults were assigned to corrective classes. These classes consisted of one period a week in addition to the pupil's two regular gym periods. During this period, each pupil did the exercises necessary
