The year itself was at times extremely discouraging but the radiant Power drive and stamina shone through at every contest. The Power f1ve'l not only displayed the intricate court work of the senior line but also brought into the limelight the very polished skills of the new junior members. Let us now go back and recap this highly promising year. Following on the heels of an excellent season, the Power Varsity was constantly plagued with old man set-backfl Returning from last year's team were Kevin Murphy, Bob Benedetto, joseph Sedor, john Tevlin and Frank Boyce. Other seniors on the varsity were john Nobrega, joe Davis and Gerald Annese. Rising from junior year to their initial appearance on the varsity were Richard Boyd, john Taylor and joseph Flood. Kevin Murphy compiled the most points during the year for the team which was due to his accurate set shots. john Nobrega played well all around and Bob Benedetto became noted for his driving lay-up shots. Contributing important points at critical moments was john Tevlin with his one hand set-shot. Frank Boyce and joe Sedor both played well under the backboards and Boyce also had a fine two hand set shot. Perhaps the most promising of the juniors is Richard Boyd who possesses an excellent jump shot and is also a good rebounder. john Taylor is another junior who can both drive and t'set well. Playing increasingly better at the termination of the season was joseph Flood who should be a valuable asset to the school come next year. As you have just read, the '56 Power Varsity possessed a heart full of true sports- manship and eager aggressiveness. A fitting tribute should be bestowed on a team whose driving spirit and athletic skill, while not bringing many trophies, did enkindle in the hearts of their competitors a true recognition of their determined efforts and true school spirit. There is also due a word of compliment to the Varsity coach, Mr. Edmund Burns, and his consistently high methods of extracting the best possible results from his team. Through his direction the Power Varsity has elevated the Academyls fine standards. IN A VALIANT ATTEMPT to score against the hard fighting All Hallows squad, Kevin Murphy sends the ball sailing in a well aimed jump shot as Frank Boyce moves in to cover rebound.
