Coaches ITH St. Michael's influence in athletics steadily on the increase, a far greater num- ber of candidates than ever before turned out for every sport. To cope with the problem of building teams out of this mass of material, Doc Jacobs surrounded himself with an experienced staff. Our hopes for future greatness in athletics rest with these men. First year material under the guidance of Branon and Guter turned in remarkably fine performances. Varsity teams under Coaches Jacobs, Borgmann and Piscione had highly successful seasons and we feel certain that we can look for- ward to great things. Cheer Leaders HEN the breaks are going against the boys and a despondent crowd of followers sits glumly in the stands, someone must, by vitality and spirit, show the team that faith and loyalty remain constant. Our cheer leaders did this job nobly during the past year and to them goes the lion's share of the credit for the ringing yells that filled the air at all athletic events. In a task which was at times extremely discouraging, they never faltered. Let us join in a cheer now for the never- say-die boys of S.M.C. COACHES Bill Piscione, Barry Branon Steve Guter, Bennie Borg mann, Doc Jacobs, seated. CHEERLEADERS jack Burke, Jean Paul Trotier and Sal Salerno.
