30 O. H. S. SENIOR ANNUAL The class of 1950 has also excelled in baseball. Eleven members of the class have participated actively in baseball during our high school career. The most difficult year to obtain a position on the squad was, of course, our Freshman year. The boys who made the squad this year were: Bud Ketttle, Fred Alexander, Ed Burdick, Dale Austin, and Armand Fortin. During our Sophomore year, Albert Long, Perley Sylvester and Ronald Bow- man made a successful attempt at the squad. Regulars this year were Bud Kettle, Armand Fortin, Ed Burdick, Dale Austin and Fred Alexander. In our Junior year, Emile Lapierre, Leo Boulanger, and Willard Herman made (he squad. During our Senior year, the squad was as follows: Fred Alexander, pitching; Armand Fortin, second base; Dale Austin, third base; Bud Kettle, shortstop; Ed Burdick, center field; Albert Long, catching; Willard Herman, first base. Subs were Ronald Bowman, catching; Leo Boulanger, pitching; and Perley Sylvester, also pitching. Until our last year, Mr. Barton coached the boys, but during the ’49-’50 season Mr. Dermody took over the coaching job. How did you like those exercises in the gym, boys? Rugged, eh? Several of the boys deserve special mention for their ability on the diamond. Bud Kettle has played with the Town Team since the summer of ’45, before he entered the eighth grade. He was elected Captain of the squad in the fall of ’48, and continued to hold the position his Senior year, also. He has played nearly every position, and been especially outstanding in left field. Fred Alexander has been outstanding as a pitcher, while Armand Fortin has excelled on second base. Emile Lapierre has managed the boys both his Junior and Senior years. Athletics play an important part in every boy’s schedule, and the boys of the class of 1950 have played an important part in athletics! May you have continued success, boys.
