BOWLIING KEGLERS UN THE MUVE FUR PMA Bowling to some, keggling to others and ten pins to the rest is a sport that has had a long and varied history both in the world and in Power. All years bowl, tournaments are held regularly, leagues are in operation and there is even a school team in CHSAA competition. Bro. Weigand, moderator of all this has all the leagues of the school enrolled in the American junior Bowling Congress and was hailed as a pioneer in the ranks of the Bowling XVorld for initiating the BIanhattan-Bronx Divi- sion of the Catholic High School League. Poweris honors in the field are many and varied. The school has been awarded some recognition in all competitions entered. just this spring in the animal AJBC lylailographic Tournament, a school team composed of J. Molfetta, T. Marino, j. Beirne, E. Moro and j. Lennon placed 105th in the nation out of 5,370 teams in the tournament. Also, J. Lennon took first place in the Manhattan Division of the Singles Tournament held by the New York Bowling Association. Varsity teams, both junior and senior had an excellent year. Senior George Doran captained the varsity team to third place honors. While the I.V. won second place honors. Every Tuesday afternoon these teams bowled their league games in-the Yankee lanes. There, they stood up well against some very fine competition. bl. Beirne led the league with his fine average of 161. He was closely followed by his team mates who managed to kee 3 well above the 140 mark. ln the Singles and Doubles Tournaments he d by this league, li. Hiordan and Macaluso captured second place honors in the Doubles while j. Beirne won first place in the Singles. Now that the season is over the remaining varsity members who will be seniors next year are getting their bowling arms in readiness for a very profitable season come next fall. Junior and Senior League was led by C. Doran with a high scoring average of 165. He also managed to capture the high series award. F. DeAngelis held the high game award of 248, missing the 250 award trophy by two pins. I. Lennon, N. Abitabilo, B. lnzerillo, j. Moglia and K. Yamashita are a few of the better bowlers of this league who managed to keep averages of 150. Although this league does not com- pete in inter school competition the tension in the alleys rises to great heights when two evenly matched teams meet. Every Friday afternoon during the school year will find the members of the junior and Senior League knocking down strikes and spares in the Circle Alleys. It is here that much of that excess energy is used up. Manyfeel that it gives them that needed relaxation after a hard week of school work. In any case, it is a good, wholesome sport and enjoyed with great enthusiasm by all participating. HANDINC OVER the third plaee trophy for the Manhattan-Bronx Division to Bro. VVeigand, Moderator of all the bowling teams, are the members of the varsity. 93
