VU 7' The Seniors and Juniors once again attended summer school, and so another goll meet was set for july. Approximately sixty men participated in this second summer tournament, and the scores turned out as well as those for the fine weather tournament. Senior Tom Ofonnell did even better than in the last meet with his record low of 74. Runner-up with an 81 was ohnny Seidel, also a Senior. ohn Finnegan of 4A had the low handicap score with a 54. Two more Qeniors Ed Reading with an 87 and Pete Shannon with an 88 were up in the runnmg in this tournament which was one of the best in years After a sweltering summer session school opened again in the fall and soon the Fall 'T' HlIlHNiYS Tournament drew well over 100 golfers out to the Maywood course. Disregarding all rumors that a darlc horse would arise from the second or third year, Tom O'Connell challced up a score in the seventies. And once again, john Seidel gained second honors with his 83. For third and fourth place, Cy Nowalcowslci and joe Klawitter obtained an 86 and 90 respectively. Fr. Sieger settled down to figure out his special intricate handicap system which gave Mc- Ginnity of third year a 57 Our genial master of ceremonies was Father O Brien who awarded the prizes to the winners but not before he had entertained all with his piano playing and singing Q 5 J J ., , , i , . . . . . . . , ' l I . . i , .

HHllllHHll. Leading the parade ol Quigley's sports is handball. It is the first sport begun at the start ol the school year. This year's tournament was confined to First, second and third years because of the absence of the juniors and Seniors. How- ever, the interims put up the most opposition in the contests. Houtsma and Madden were the champs after they battered through a large group of players, mostly from first year. And now a word about the bowling league's spot in the sports limelight. Once again, the Quigley's Keglers held their bowling sessions at the C.Y.O. Bowling Center. Only one round was played since the junior and-Senior students N Hlllllllll' began school later than usual. With a five-man lineup on each team, eight teams tried their skill for the championship. At the start of the season, Ray Carey's squad lost only two games out ol ten to the Senior teams, and these they gave up by less than ten pins. Carey's team was among the best at the alley. ln the race, too, for the champs' title was Diclc Feller's team. At the close of the season they had tied with Carey's tive. The playoffs decided Feller's fthe league's secretaryl to be the better of the two teams. The members of the winning team, besides the cap- tain, were Joclc Gladstone, Dick Fassbinder, Bob Doviclc, and laclc Eichelman.
