With a starting team of last year’s lettermen, Memorial hopes for another winning season. Graduation left us with many vacant places, but we have coming back Albie Rue, Orrys Williams, Bob Sontag, Larry Glazer, Mel Bloom, and Mike Underwood. The team placed second and sent two men to the state tournament. This year’s co-captains are Albie Rue and Orrys Williams, backed up by a team full of spirit, with each man ready to play not for himself b ut for the team. Our school has produced first-rate teams and this year will be no different. In both singles and doubles, Memorial will field players who meet the high Standards set by the teams of previous years. if you should go to the tennis courts at Frank- lin Field you can see a fine hustling Memorial team playing with good team spirit and sports- manship engendered by this fine pastime. We thank Mr. Greyser for his assistance, and hope that Memorial may produce another winning team. GE ice

Row 1 Richard Francis, Lawrence Albert, Edward Summers, Row 2 Mr. ‘ HL ockey The 1959 edition of Memorial’s hockey team found itself transplanted from the City League to the District League. This year’s squad was a fast-skating group led by five starters of last year’s squad. Starting in the nets with two year’s experience was goalie Ralph Mooers. Also returning with two year’s experience were Jim Leahy, Charlie Monroe, and co-captains Eddie Summers and Larry Albert. Leahy and Monroe were the defensemen; the goalie, Mooers; and the first line consisted of Eddie Summers, Larry Albert, Burt Horblit, Ken McKinnon, and Dick Francis. A tip of the hat goes to coach Leary, without whose expert guidance our puck-handlers would not have been able to put on the ice a team characterized by such good passing, clever checking, and determined fighting spirit. Charles Kenneth McKinnon Leary, Ralph Mooers, Peter Boginski, Lawrence Crichton, Murry Szathmary, John Farrell Munroe, Although Memorial High was the most under- manned team in the league, the lack of quan- tity was overbalanced by the high quality of its small but spirited squad and the capable coaching of Mr. Leary. fe} . ‘ tos

The Green and Gold finished a close third in the District Meet. “Butch” Hullum was our outstanding runner placing in the top ten five in nearly every race. Favored to win the class C state meet Butch pulled up lame a few days before the race with a sprained ankle. However, injury did not bother Hullum, for he ran and came in sixth out of nearly one-hundred in the state. A true competitor. Other runners who finish- ed right behind the winner were Hal Gabriel and Floyd Pearson, a couple of boys who can really burn the cinders. Then there is Marv Liberman who did extremly well his first year out as a cross-country runner, Larry Glazer, the Silky Sullivan of track who usually over- took ten men in the last hundred yards, and George Lake, one of the best hurdle men in the state coming up strong at the end. Edwin Herbert Nickerson, Lawrence Mathews, Allen Furey, Richard Misiph was laid up because of a bad ankle and only ran a few races. Allen Furey and Orrys Williams did exceptionally well consid- ering the number of times they practiced. All in all, the season at Memorial was a success.
