Trophies Are Unanimous Athletic Director Brother Ixostka announced last week the abolition of Letters in favor of in dnldual trophies At a meeting of both the X arslty and jay lee Basketball teams a unanimous vote approved the awarding of trophies rather than let ters The awards have a mahogany base topped by a gilded figure They figure on being much more durable than the letters formerly awarded Fathers Club Rehres The last meeting of the Fathers Club for this memorable year of 1951 to 1952 was held on Tues day May 27 As their last official act they selected a committee to choose candidates for next years officers and to outlme a program for the organiza tion s future aCtlVltl8S These, of course will mclude the Annual Communion Breakfast, held this year just sixteen days before the retiring of the group So Ends Our Spring W 1th the closlng of Power s summer sports cam palgn Power men may sit back and read with pride and pleasure, the achievements of the baseball track and handball teams The wiry left arm of senior Jim Kennedy, coupled with the impressive stick work of Bill Dowling gave Power some notable wins over Fordham LaSalle and All Hal lows In handball it was the power packed wallops of Rubrecht Obert that carried Power s court team to a successful finish in the singles competition of the Private Schools league. As for track, the most impressive work was done by our hard running freshmen. Notable among these were 220 yard man Don Bohan and his fleet companions, Pat OCon- nor and john Shea. Their 107 medals and four trophies augurs well for next year. Correction In the May issue of The Power on p. 142, an article and picture appeared stating that Mr. Gal- lagher was the head of the Confraternity of The Christian Doctrine at Power. Mr. Gallagher is a Director of the Lonfraternity of The Christian Doc- trine, but not at Power, since the Confraternity has not been established at Power as yet. The work of teaching boys at St. Matthewts is an activity of the Sodality to which Mr. Gallagher has given gener- ously of his time. Debaters Deliver In the recent Irish Christian Brothers Tourna ment the debaters gained second place m the over all points for the debate section of the tournament and third place in the Senior Declamation F Fitz lbbon and F Batridve placed first in the Senior Debate while J Scott and R Dunne placed first in the Junior Debate Both teams were awarded Oscars Power came vuthln five heartbreaking points of taking the tournament trophy Concert Previews Povsefs annual concert this year will boast the SCFVICCS of two topflight artists along with the pro gram which has been prepared by the Band and Glee Club Mr Christopher Lynch renowned Irish tenor and soloist on the Firestone program and NIr Francis Flanagan noted violin virtuoso will add their talents to our concert in a selection of numbers which has made them famous Dinner for Departing Principal A dinner was given by the Mothers Club for Brother Hennessy on May 22nd Present at the dinner were the officers and members of the Mothers Club Speeches were made by Brothers Rice, Hickey Kostka and of course, Brother Hen nessy The dinner was given to express the thanks of the Mothers Club and Faculty for Brother Hen nessy s fine work during his six years at Power Comcndence Last year Mr Rood s picture appeared on page 149 Once again this year Mr Rood has garnered a spot in The Power and guess where he was put? That s it page 149 and in the very same place Th ree Practices-Three Dlstunctnons The Glee Club after three practices on the stage of the Hunter College Playhouse, owns the distinc- tion of three more performances on this stage than any previous Power Glee Club. Their performance is expected to set a new high and also to provide suitable company for Power s prize-winning band. Power Takes IC B Freshman Meet For the hrst time in six years Power topped Rice and won the I.C.B. Freshman Meet. Notable in the Meet was the four wins registered by Don Bohan four first places that is, in the high jump broad jump 880 and 220. It was a first for Power in I.C.B. competition. Drackers win in the shot put ta 48' HM heavej plus the 50.5 showing by the 440 yard relay team, was all Power needed to bring home the trophy. For those interested, we won 545 to 29M for Rice.
