Claire W'illiams, Nancy Sullivan, Theresa Considine, Mary Littlefield The pupils of St. Columbkilleis School have always been most generous in their response to any calls from the Red Cross. This support was particularly evidenced by the work of the members of the Art Class this year, who shared in the making of 500 beautifully decorated menu cards, 250 tray favors, 500 ice cream decorations, 50 three dimensional cutouts, 50 bulletin board pieces, and one center piece. These, together with many calendars, made by the high school classes, were sent before Christmas to our boys serving in the armed forces overseas. Another allotment assigned by the Red Cross was completed in March. Our embryo artists were not alone, however, in their enthusiastic interest in the great work of the Red Cross, Others were engaged in soliciting blood donors, in collecting books, magazines, and canes for use in the hospitals, and making scrapbooks for the childrensi hospitals, while each member of the school contributed wholeheartedly towards the substantial amount of money collected during the Red Cross Drive in March. Through such patriotic endeavors, which also included the purchase of many War Stamps and Bonds, we, on the homefront, hoped in some small way to stand in spirit by the side of our dear ones fighting on farHung battlefields for our safety and the blessing of a just and lasting peace. St. Columbkilleis School was represented at the Junier Red CrOss meetings by Mary Littleheld and Teresa Spanbauer. JOAN CUNNINGHAM, 45

John Sullivan, William Felt, Edward Ludwig, Francis Winn The hoopsters 0f Columb High finally produced for their faithful fans, a win- ning combination, composed of stalwarts who could take victory as well as defeat in a spirit of true sportsmanship. Though losing all but two of their First string of the previous year, they came up with a few surprisingly good players. From these were chosen the ten men of the Varsity. Leo Buckley and Joe Dobbratz as the two forwards, together scored many points to keep up with the leaders. Whitey Lenihan and Bill OlLeary at the two guard positions, as play-makers, were superb. At the center pOSition Tom OaLeary was reckoned among the best. For replace- ments, there were Red Phinney, fast and quite elusive, Buddy HasSett, a sophomore, who was instrumental in winning the victory over Missioni John Refs height and Billy Kreinsen,s passing Were major factors in our victories. Joseph Dobbratz, Whitey Lenihan and Leo Buckley were alternating captains of the team. The Junior Varsity showed great promise throughout the season, This group included Eddy Ludwig, Squawker McNeill; Bud Sullivan, Martin I. Clancy, llBll Felt, Paul Welch, and Fink Farley. Throughout the season the team remained a constant threat to the leaders of the league. From out of the hat they pulled two very important upsets, in beating Mission 24 to 21, and Cathedral 29 to 24. The Columbites dropped two to St. Marys Waltham, two to St. Charles and two to St. Marys Brookline. They took St. Patrickls twice, St. Sebastianls twice, and split with Our Lady,s Newton, Cathedral, 'and Mission. To Father Frawley goes our sincere thanks for his guiding hand throughout the past season. Without his cooperation and support it is doubtful if the Green and White would have achieved the Victories which are chalked up to its credit. To Pete Igo, our able coach, is due the major credit in securing the feats accomplished byrthe wearers 0f the Green and thite. JOSEPH DOBBRATZ, ,45
