LV. BASEBALL It is not really fair to call a IV team sub- servient to a Varsity group merely because of name. When the talent of the underling is on a par with that of the best, one may say that the effort of the team is worthy of tribute, perhaps more so than the practiced Varsity. Though the Varsity lacked little, the lower team did prove itself one of marked character and spirit. Inspired by the coach- ing of PMA,s Casey Stengel, Bro. McAdams, it was well on the way, at midyear, to establishing a mark for itself in the City's League. This can be said on the basis of an early 4 and 1 record. Incidental to this was a no-hit game by pitcher Bob Woop, the mainstay of the hurling staff. Others are Smith and Early, both capable on the mound. A short rundown of the rest of the squad is: patrolling the outfield we find Burns, Ferrara and Ciachetti. Moving into the infield: Conlon plays first base, Lawlor is second, Carleton is at third and Figueroa is shortstop. Finally, behind the plate is Houli- han, technically the mastermind of the games played. With these as field men it is hoped, by the coaches, that the inevitable question, by an opposition favorer, Who's fwith others in scoring positionj on first? will rarely have to be asked. The signs, then, were all in favor for a coup, this year by a Power JV. Hopes were high and prospects were good. r lllhnnunuuuau- .sf p ' iw. . Q if ' a .5 ,pi .

Four years of high school, coupled with elementary education, must make - and have made - the senior ready to face his world and fulfill his lifeis purpose. The result of this endeavor is known beforehand. The establislnnent of that goal, however, is the demonstration of the fulfill- ment of the action which has as its basis a divine purpose. The senior started his life as a naked, mewling, sav- age, helpless being. At the moment of his entrance into life, his purpose had been established and work on him was begun. As a child of human parents he was trained in the ways of social, moral and beneficial life. As the child of Catholic parents, however, he was raised in the light of a Cod-given teaching and was taught to love, ig ,rf ,.. If , .f wave' know and serve for the purpose of Goodness. His intro- duction to formal education came as he was first shown the ultimate goal in his life. From that came twelve long years of dull and exciting, happy and unfortunate, pleas- ant and foreboding days in which he was led, cajoled, taught, threatened, punished and chided. He was shown new worlds of thought and life. Time moved on and through it all, one quantity was paramount in his life: use life to know Cod. His teachers were with him every step of the way. They knew the work involved, they also knew the result. Finally he was a Senior, reared in the ways of Divine Providence. The world was his. He had become the fruit of twelve years of labor. His public life was next to see him prove and be worthy of it.
