ing on? R-R-Ring, the 3:15 bell echoes. School's out forthe dayl The doors oi the classrooms fly open and the seminarians dash out. It loolcs as ii they're all headed towards the gym. But wait, the baslcetball season is over! Why, oi course, it's the opening of the ping-pong season. Down into the gym the seminarians rush to play, try- ing to paddle each other's brains out or to give their opponents a strolce of confusing English. ON GUARD Many eyes grow sore watching that elusive white ball and many legs grow weary chasing alter it. The paddler doesn't seem to mind, though, because he has his sights on the school's ping-pong championship. Everybody has an equal chance lor the title, so let's loolc at a few ol the outstanding players here at Q. P. S. Many of the boys here are actually ping-pong pros , who really lcnow how to bat that little white ball baclc and forth across the net. The senior division bcasts of two such pros : Pat O'Donnell oi Third year, and Bob Zielinslci of Fifth year. Their combination of both a slow and fast game malces them especially hard to beat. They're really the potential champs of the school. But don't get the idea that these two are the only good players here. Who could count out of the race Fifth year's Ken Brigham or Fourth year's Roger Gubbins? Since they both have the ability and talent to win, they can beat anyone here. Tom Windham of Filth year, Gene Noonan of Fourth year, and lim Colleran of Third year are the darlc horses of the Senior division. All these boys play a steady game which fact malces them a constant tournament threat. ln the junior division, it loolcs as though Boyle and Tiny Donovan will dominate the play. They proved themselves in last year's tourna- ments and it will probably be a repeat perform- ance. There are probably many good players in First year, ready to prove their ability, and perhaps one of them may even cop the crown. ALL SET TO SQUARE OFF 43
