Our Junior year saw the 1956 Football squad make the best record that SBHS ever had in its 25 years of gridiron encounters. The class of 1958 played its part well in achieving the many victories with such outstanding Juniors as Ralph Lewis, Wil- liam Conlin, James Meehan, James Sherwin on the Team. On November 26, Ralph Lewis was elected cap- tain ot the 1957 football squad at a meeting in the Bernardian clubhouse with Coach McCauley and the entire team present. Ralph well deserved this honor as he is a three-year veteran on the gridiron and has also been a member of the basketball, baseball, and track group at SBHS.
