Coxswain Rotunda and Stroke Wynne look promising. Holdovers from the J.V. champs of last year, Bill Taggart, Larry Lauer, Jerry Weiss, Dave Gillig, Terry Murphy, Pat McDonough and Bud Kurban will offer still competition for every seat in the 'first shell. Last year's crew copped the Canadian National Championship and took the consolation medals in the U. S. National Schoolboy Championships held in Buffalo in May. With only three members missing from that strong crew the new season should prove to be a banner one. Highlight events ot this season will be trips to Syracuse and Cornell and, if conditions allow, the big trip to compete in the T954 U. S. School- boy Championship to be held at Worcester, Mass. The local climax will be the All-Catholic and the All-High Regattas at the West Side Rowing Club in June. J. V, CREW: Brother Basil, Moderator, R. Carroll, W, Taggart, W. Schaab, D. Schank, E.
