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
