A I SHORTSTOP G. Treutlein rounds third and heads for home after one of his teammates hit a hot grounder between first and second. VARSITY BASEBALL Each spring, the baseball season arrives at Power with the paralleling regularity of the equinox. Naturally, since this year was no exception, the school team started to prac- tice on schedule. Practice and more practice are the only acknowledged ways of getting a winning ball team, a team which will not be only a credit to each individual player but a true representation of Power Memorial Academy. This, it can be said, is the story of this year's team. A strong varsity needs strong players-the Pitchers, Tom Orlando, senior, Bob Cenzarki, Iohn Kelly, Mike Murphy and joe Sawey are installed to fulfill this idea. It is a rather obvious thought that pitchers are nothing without adequate catching strength so Joe Kepics and G. Mc- Carthy fill the bill behind the plate. With excellent pitching, mediocre fielding can be tolerated. However, minor miracles do permit opponents to become lucky so joe Flood at first, BEHIND THE PLATE FOR THE PMA VARSITY IS STAR CATCHER IOSEPH KEPICS OF JUNIOR YEAR. IOE FLOOD MANAGES TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL PICK- OFF PLAY AT FIRST BASE IN GAME WITH HAYES. Dennis McCarthy at second, jim Lavelle, shortstop, and Frank Natale at third are provided to see that as much as possible is in Power's favor. Should a fly-ball pierce this im- pregnable defense, outfielders, McManus, Salerno and Berto- ratti are ready for almost any fielding play. In the middle of April, the season was inaugurated and an early victory over Xavier followed soon after. The sport year ended after the publication of this volume and no in- dication of final league position was given before the middle of May. Team batting was good, as is shown in the following pages, and morale, in general was high. Coaches-Bro. Fee- rick and Mr. Behrens saw much to improve and worked on it constantly. The result was a good team. Underclass members leamed well and a bright future was indicated. The team may not have attained a high standing and room, then, was left for development. If it did rank high, then, there is a tradition to maintain. In any event, this yearis baseball portends a lively future at Power.
