Coached by Brother Feerick, the team proved its great ability by winning the Freshman city- wide Catholic School League Tournament. The team's record was 25 wins and 3 defeats. The starting iive consisted of jim Lawlor, Frank Natale, Ed Burns, Tom Brennan and R. jen- nings. jim Lawlor possessed an exceptionally good shooting eye and was good on defensive plays. Frank Natale was a consistently good play-maker and passer while Ed Burns' greatest asset to the team was his excellent rebounding. Jennings and Brennan were both good shooters. The team was rounded off by Matassa, Moody, and Perno. Lawlor averaged seventeen points per game and Brennan, along with Ed Burns, averaged eight points.fThe team is expected to go on to greater heights in the next season. 116 HUSTLE 8. DRIVE MAKE CHAMPS This year Power had an extremely capable I. V. that finished the season with the title of Manhat- tan Champsf' In the Manhattan division they terminated the year with a 10-1 league record. The only teams to defeat them were Trinity and St. Annis. Dennis Coe and John Cleary were in the back court most of the time and both scored frequently and made many assists. Richie Meadows was the best rebounder and when he was hurt in january, Phil Restaino filled the job very well. Bob Woop added weight and hustle to the rebounding and pro- vided an added scoring touch. Dennis McCarthy was the best shot and passer on the team. Jim Cleary was the all-utility man, playing back court or the corner with equal ability. The J. V. won its championship with hustle, speed and the knowledge that the only way to win is by playing together. This outlook brought a a profitable year to the 1955-56 team and its coach.

The team came in second in the C. H. S. A. A. TRIUMPHIINT YEAR FUR SENIURS For the second successive year, the resounding cry of Set 'em up in the other alley reverberated around the walls of the Circle Bowling Recreation Center, where the Power varsity holds their practice sessions. Also for the second successive year, Power copped second place honors in the C.H.S.A.A. Bowling League. Highest average for the team this year was Vinny La Bash with a 178, followed by 'fChuckin' Charlie La Padula who held on with a 167 to help spark the team to victory. Other capable members of the team were Richard Pull 156, Sal Tragna 155, Bob Boeckler 150, Richard Flaherty 149, Brian Toal 140, Willy Funcheon 160, George Doran 140 and Kevin Radican 135. The most exciting event for the varsity team was during the play-offs with Holy Trinity High School when they had tied us for second place honors. Although they lost to us by 3-2, they did give us a few fearful moments when it appeared that they would take victory from our grasp by only a few pins. After the victory, each member of the varsity was awarded a ten and one-half inch gold and ivory colored trophy as a symbol of his victory and his excellence in the field of bowling. Highlight of the year was the winning of the City Championship by Vinny LaBash, who received a trophy for himself and for the school, and Charlie La Padula who received third place honors in the same contest. This year's Junior-Senior Bowling League has for the most part told who next year's varsity members will be, for the scorekeepers have been kept busy with all the strikes and spares that were made during league play. The highlights for next year include George Doran, Michael Joyce, Brian Toal, J. Bierne, J. Vanden Houte, john Diaz and Kinso Yamashita. 118
