Completing the most successful season in the history of the school, the Blue and Gray gridiron warriors rolled up a neat hundred points to our opponents' thirty-three in winning six out of eight games with one tie. Graduation will take a hard knock at the team which will lose three tackles, three backs, and an end, Martin Pierson, Woodrow Moyle, Thomas Saunders, Richard Swearer, Carmen Selvaggi, Walt Crowl, and Harris Weaver. The Dynahs opened the season with a 7-7 tie with West Chester. Next came a 13-0 victory over Penns Grove. The third game was a thrilling 16-13 victory over Upper Darby. After scoring consecutive victories over Conrad, Brown Vocational, Newark, and Ridley Township, the Dynamiters finally dropped a thrilling 6-0 contest to the traditional rivals from Wilmington High School. Of all the fine qualities that Mr. McGraw and Mr. Warner have instilled into the team, the most outstanding is the good sportsmanship and clean play that they have shown without exception throughout the entire season.

MICHAEL Suck KIRWIN Here's the hard hitting captain of our baseball team. In the clean-up position for the past two years, Mike came through with a .406 batting average last season. He is also a member of the varsity basketball team and a former member of the football team. Mike's greatest thrill came against Southern High f'57j when he lined a hit with the bases loaded and two outs in the twentieth inning, the longest high school game on record in the state. Mike was selected on the All-Industrial League team, on the Wil- mington All-Stars, and on the All State Team of 1939. It wouldn't surprise us to see Mike in the Eastern Shore League next summer. WALTER NCASPERH CROWL After starring at Warner junior High, Walt continued straight on through his high school career. His brilliant play on the gridiron and basketball court has brought many a victory to the Blue and Gray. In addition to winning a letter in track, he also was a member of the Varsity Basketball team. Last season Mr. Crowl was the high scorer, winning one Wilmington High School game almost single handed. Walt is a very modest fellow, always giving his share of credit to others. He names football as his favorite sport and hopes to enter college next September. PETER UBUNTYH BUNITSKY Basketball, baseball, and swimming are three of the many sports in which Pete excels. He plays center on the basketball team. Pete stands six feet two at one hundred ninety pounds, and names basketball as his favorite sport and swimming as his second choice. He also says that unsportsmanship stands at the top of his hate parade. If things go as planned, Pete will enter college next fall. In addition to all his other activities, he still finds time to perform his duties as president of the choir. RICHARD MPREACHERH SWEARER, CARMEN UHANDSOMEH SELVAGGI Dick held down the man sized job of the blocking back on the football team and did a swell job of it. Dick has been playing since his sophomore year. He stands five feet eleven, and weighs one hundred seventy pounds. We envy the lucky college that gets Dick next fall. Carmen has also played quarterback on the football team since his sopho- more year. He has also played third base on the baseball team for two years. Carmen puts an end to the rumor that athletes can't be scholars. He is the president of the Honor Society. THOMAS HARKY HARKNESS, DARLINGTON DARL1Nc TALLEY Tom was the mainstay of the pitching corps, winning eight out of eleven games. His mound victories include a one hitter, a three hitter, and two wins over Wilmington High School. He names baseball as his favorite sport and basketball a close second. Tom was a member of last year's Homeroom basketball champions. Also he was the captain of the American Legion Team that went into the state finals. To top it all he hit 388. Darling- ton is a 100 per cent baseball fan and player. He plays right field and hit for a .351 bat- ting average in 1958 and 1939. As if it weren't already enough, he names baseball as his favorite sport. HARRIS HAss WEAVER, MARTIN CURLY PIERSON Hass was the rize rookie of the year, coming from the jayvees to a starting position at left end on the fiirst string varsity this season. He is a good pass snatcher, a real sports- man, and a swell fellow. Six feet, one hundred seventy pounds, blond and good looking, that's Mr. Pierson. A tackle on the football team and a catcher on the baseball team, Martin names football as his favorite sport.
