SMITH ACADEMY 31 Baseball Team First Row, left to right: Edward Malinowski, Adolph Ciszewski, Robert Pelc, Robert Shea, Clifford Roberts, Arthur Proulx. Second Row, left to right: Stanley Kirejczyk, John Skarzynski, Charles Drake, Henry Betsold, Lawrence Stoddard, Coach Jakobek. Until our coach discovered that Edward Vachula, a freshman, is a star pitcher, our team had not been winning any games. Although this year baseball has not been as successful as the other sports, we are looking forward to a championship next year. Edward Vachula and Robert Shea will probably do all the work on the mound next year, with Bernard Kacenski behind the plate.
