Baseball at St. Mary's Starting on their second year of or- ganized baseball, St. Mary’s had a size- able squad including all but two of the previous year’s fine team. Under the direction of Coach Jim McGuire, an old hand at high school baseball, having played on and coached several good teams, the 1950 “nine” shaped up rretty well and the outlook for a highly suc- cessful season is very bright. Starting off well, they now hold wins over Hoo- sac Prep, Berlin, North Bennington and Waterford and have a loss to St. John’s of Albany on the other side of the slate. Included in the squad are Gene Slavin, Tommy Davock, Jack Hallen- beck, Jimmy Millett, Wade Hayden, Bob Morin, Norman Oliver, Butch Yavaniski. Lenny Liporace, Tommy O’Malley, Johnny Griffin, John and Tommy Moore. Jacky Leonard, Corny O’Keefe and Roger White. The boys have “Foxy” Fleming as their hard working manager. What the team lacks in size or natural ability, it more than makes up for in their fighting spirit and determi- nation to win no matter what the odds.

4 I r r r Typewriting Class One of the nice things about high school life is the diversion from con- stant study by periods in which the stu- dents learn a lot but is not burdened with hours of homework. Such a class is our typing class. Although at times it seems to us future stengraphers and private secretaries that the inventor of the typewriter made his machine to hinder rather than help its operator by its innumerable gadgets and with little help from the covered keys, we find quite a bit of pleasure every day when we all march into the typing room for that period. The typing room is not too large but it accomodates all the students who wish to take the subject. The room is well lighted by six large windows and a skylight. Our fifteen machines, four of which were purchased last year, are well used by the 30 students who com- pose the two typing classes.

19JO ACADEMY ECHO Our Library You are now taking a journey through the library of St. Mary’s Acad- emy. Upon entering the door, you pro- ceed to the right, where you find all the bookcases, filled with hundreds of books. You travel down the line and come upon the card catalogue. Here you can find the location of any book in the library. You decide to stroll further and you find yourself at the rear of the room. Here, the reference books and magazine rack are located. You are on the left side now and coming up the aisle. The three large tables are in your way, but you manage to escape without injury. Looking around you find your- self at the librarian’s desk and you know that you are at the end of your trip. Your next step leads you out the door and into the halls of Saint Mary’s Acad- emy.
