Guided by their All-City captain Bob Braghetta, and led by Sen- iors Barney Vannucci, Steve Sullivan, Jack Murray, Terry Curran, Bob Del Moral, and Don Kelleher, the team went on to beat Lowell and tie Washington. Sullivan, Arnold, and Weiss led the squad with scoring honors. Al- though the team loses much of its strength, two young and promising Juniors, Jim Flana- gan and Mike Balibrera, will be a good foun- dation for the next year's squad. Coach Bill Cox and Mr. Straukamp, the team's Moderator, are to be greatly commended for their fine work in molding and strengthening the new team.

The 'Cats' bid for the play-offs was thwarted by Balboa, but McKay and Camera were chosen for first and second string All-City honors.
