Those of the Class of '55 out- standing in this field are Bert Maggioli, Larry Aloi- sio, and Dave Collins, to name but a few. To disprove the all brains and no brawn theory, the next few paragraphs will deal pri- marily with the accomplishments of the athletes. Last fall, among the third year men bolstering the ranks of the Varsity Football team, were Phil Shalala, Joe Crowley, Bill Gondek, Bob Surowiec, and a host of others. Though the team's record was not overly impressive, the tremendous spirit kindled cannot be overlooked. What with these returnees and some of the yearlings from the Jay Vee aggregation, who knows-next year might be our turn. Speaking of the Jay Vee'ers who are often for- gotten in the rush and excitement that accom- panies the publicity of any varsity sport, John French, Fred Lavin, and Roger and Ron Davison filled key positions on a highly successful eleven. Six juniors were chosen to serve on the Varsity Basketball team. Skip Smith, Russ Porter, Dave Mc- Laughlin, Joe Jacobi, and Larry Aloisio were se- lected in addition to Tex Ritger, who, because of his fabulous rebounding, was named to the All- Catholic teams of both Buffalo dailies. Here again, the Jay Vee hoopsters, who pro- vided plenty of fast, exciting action in the pre- liminary contests, should not be passed over with- out a word or two. Although this squad was com- posed mainly of sophomores, Pat Cunningham and Joe Bieron contributed heavily to the success of this team. If-l fi - x Q oP2 x -Z i 4 to 1 xl I X Xl sl X1 wi Xl mi
