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.

32 PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO Girls ' Basketball Team First Row, left to right: Eleanore Kugler, Margaret Osepowiez, Helen Paszek, Capt. Anna Zima, Tessie Michalowski, Martha Osepowkz. Second Row, left to right: Manager Mary Majeski, Shirley Labbee, Victoria Zawacki, Marie Korza, Clara Toczydlowski, Mrs. Muller. Although the girls ' basketball season started late, because of late organization in the school in near-by towns, we managed to get a number of games despite the prob- lems of war-time transportation. The team was under the leadership of Coach Muller and under the management of Mary Majeski. The girls who played forward were Capt. Anna Zima, Helen Paszek, Tessie Michalowski, and Shirley Labbee. Eleanore Kugler, Martha and Margaret Osepowiez, and Marie Korza held the guard positions. A summary of the games indicates that the team made great progress during the season, which closed with a victory over our ancient rival, Hopkins. Jan. 11 S. A. 5 Feb. 3 S. A. 5 Feb. 29 S.
