BUILDING FUR THE FUTURE BASKETBALL: Sinee the purpose of this year's work was to huild rather than to Win, to improye rather than to conquer, ideals of meeting the established goals of sehool sport were set ahove mere self-aggraiidizement through yietory. This year, emphasis was laid on progress through competition, progress in teamwork and playing ability and progress in the development of indiyidual players for the years to eome. Most important, though, was the development of the players as Christian sportsmen and hetter men all around. From this standpoint, Power had what could only he termed as a successful season. VARSITY: This year only two seniors with previous varsity ex- perience survived the final eut whieh Mr. liehrens fkl01lL'll7 designed to produce a truly competent team for next year. Brought up from the TV were seniors McCarthy and Cleary, The rest of the team was composed of juniors jim liytle, Phil ltestaino and llarry jeff- reys, sophomores Tom Brennan, lid Burns, -lim Lawlor, C. Castoto and B. YVoop. Freslnnan year was represented hy Phil Flynn who proved himself well worthy of a yarsity herth. This stellar squad proved its potential greatness hy upsetting and hreaking the winning streaks of sueh sehools as lXlanhattan Prep, Xavier, and lliee. lligh scorers this season were, in deseending order ol' points, Boyd, Burns and McCarthy. The main aeeomplislunent of this year's team was the formation of the nucleus of next season's group whieh should make a really impressive showing. IV: Since this was a year of huilding for the varsity it was expeeted that the IV would he greatly weakened. Despite the use of many of the underclassmeu who would ordinarily play helow-varsity hall on the senior team, the remaining -IV players formed a highly sue- eessful team. Though they finished with an undistinguished 9 and 11 record, they proved themselves winners under any sort ol' handi- cap now and to come. FRESHMEN: First year haskethall is a rumored event ahout which the school hears little. The existence of a team, though, was shown rather significantly in its league C9 and Qi. Diek Lonihardi and Vie Cintron led the group in scoring with hopes for future -IV and Varsity ranks. ev. .7 at J t 'Y 5 H+. Q , COACHES: BRO. FEERICK, MR. BEIIRENS AND BRO. McADAMS. 87
