CPs 1953 87 The Green and Gold basketball team, under the skillful coaching of Mr. Keane, should do very well, despite the disadvan- tage of a smaller squad and the lack of height. The five hoopmasters making up th? starting team are Bill Cort and Jimmy Mason at guard, Skippy Elman and Bob McCay at forward, and newcomer Marty Garber at center. With these experienced ball players, plus the talents of Kelsey, Grande, Cohen, Tapalian, and many new- comers, Roxbury Memorial High School will rank high in 1953. Basketball Second Row: Mr. Keane, Kenneth Topalian, Carl McCall, Robert McCoy. First Row: Alvin Lichtenstien, Robert Grande, Robert Cohen, Robert Kelsey, William Cort, Stanley Elman, Martin Garber, James Mason.

This year, under the guidance of our new coach, “Tom” Moran, Roxbury Mem- orial started rebuilding a very successful team. The team, led by Co-Captains Mike Cantor, Sid Doren, and Richard Mulloy, along with other seniors Phil Carr, Frank Damigella, George Pearson, Irwin Sidman, Dick Freedman, Max Karass, and Chuck Thebado, had its best record in four years, 4 wins and § losses. Looking towards next year, it appears that we will be a power in the conference, and maybe the long awaited championship will arrive. Next year’s Co-Captains are Aldo Binda and Bob McCoy. The seniors leave with the hope that next year’s class will get behind the team and keep it in the spirit that it has reached now.

Hockey The 1953 ice sextet is one of the school’s hustling teams. Although labeled as door mats in the Boston conference, Memorial did very well against Latin, Commerce, Trade, and Charlestown, despite their in- experienced and young players. Coach Thomas is building his team around sophomores and juniors and is looking for- ward to a better season next year. This year’s Co-Captains are Heshy Eskot and Chuck Thebado. Other outstanding players include Jim Carbone and Arnie Sher, goalies; Phil Carr, Dick Powell, Johnson on defense; Aldo Binda, Bob Caprio, at the wings; and the spark of the team Bill Smith, at center. Ed Kushner did a good job as manager during the season.
