JOHN HARRISON K2-581 JOINED the Library Club this year. Here, he checks through the card catalogue in answer to a studenfs request for a book. Library added many new vol- umes this year. THE LIBRARY CLUB s FOUR FRESHMEN AVAIL THEMSELVES of the library's fine fiction section to get a book that will please them and their English teacher, Mr. Murphy. They are: Michael Corrigan l42l, Rocco Mongelli l4'll, Richard McNulty l42l, Peter Sullivan ll-41. Students were allowed in the library at reading period, could take books out for two weeks. JOHN McGURRlN and Dennis Desmond reorganize the history section in an effort to make room for more new books. The intensive reading program introduced during study period this year forced the students to use the library more than ever before. It was open during the reading period and after school. Club members checked, stamped, and repaired books. l BROTHER LONG POSES with his small but efficient library staff, at right, they ore: John McGurrin, Rob- ert lnsull, John Harrison and Dennis Desmond. In- sull, a Senior, has been a member for four years. Brother Long has been the school's librarian for tif- teen years. Much of the stal f's time is taken with the painful task of visiting the classrooms to re- mind slow readers that their books are overdue. Money collected from lines was used to purchase new books.

JAMES MARTIN l41l executes a perfect swan dive during Frosh meet. At upper right, basketball Co- Captain Tony Bonilla l47l lunges for the ball against Cathedral. At middle right, Charlie Garcie l73l proved best Cross-Country runner on the varsity. At lower right, Francis O'Brien bowls another strike. On the next page, Emmanuel Andrews and Mr. 0'Keefe help spent runner Olice Williams recover after grueling race. Rice's limited campus-fifteen feet of City sidewalk-would cause even a chess coach to howl in anguish. Yet, despite the liabilities imposed by this crowded little island, Rice's sports program is com- parable to schools which boast golf course-like settings. The Fighting Irish have three inter-school basketball teams and an intramural basketball program that attracts over two hundred boys. The var- sity and Freshmen track teams occupy an- other hundred. Swimming, Handball, and Bowling provide physical outlets for another hundred or more. The newly- painted gym and spotless swimming pool are in constant use-before school, after school, weekends and holidays. Rice hasn't got the best basketball team in the City. Yet, visiting coaches shudder when they think ot the upsets that the Irish have pulled. Although the track teams must travel every day to prac- tice in armories or parks-and sometimes in the school corridorsethey rarely re- turn trom a meet without a respectable percentage ot the loot. Here follows a word-picture report on our victories and defeats.
