It's the best foot forward for the Grand March! Everyone is enjoying the highlight of the social season---an evening that will remain forever in the Junior-Senior Bcok of Memories. JUNIOR-SENIOR BALL A bright full moon made the evening of May 8, 1953 a truly enchanted one. It was our Junior-Senior Ball. A huge rainbow and the walls covered with raindrops brought out the theme of the “Rainbow Ball”. Rainbow streamers looped across the ceiling added greatly to the colorful scene. Pretty girls plus gowns plus corsages equals an un- forgettable ball. Fay Weir. Shirley Demick, Noreen Finnen. Janet Sherwin and Jerry Eldred are really dolled up”. Joe Smith.

JUNIOR SENIOR BALL “O Mary, we crown thee with flowers today”. Mary, crowned Queen of all Hearts by Queen Idamary, puts a tender tone of climax to the gala Rainbow Ball”.

Coach Shiland and Varsity Coach Smith to discuss basketball problems. J. V. Manager Bill Levandowski and Varsity Manager Rich Severson are looking on. JIM MOORE JOE MURPHY Remember the pep rally with Walt Wirmusky, leader? Weren’t those band players tops? St. Mary’s sparked by this enthusiasm, won its first game of the season from St. John’s of Albany on the High School Court. The score was 63-43 and the game was a Catholic B contest. During the intermission, we enjoyed a wrestling match be- tween Walt Wirmusky and Bobby (Muscles) Sal- luzzo. Cheerleader Ann Grennan held the posi- tion of managing Walt. The skit was a great success. Davock, Levandowski and Closson helped to back St. Joseph’s of Schenectady, on the losers’ court. What shots those were! St. Mary’s lost a close decision to St. John’s of Rensselaer on our home court. At the first quarter the score was 11-11, at half time the score moved to 33-29. The half brought a “bull fight”. The “live bull” was filled by Wirmusky and Elmer. The bull tried to attack “Muscles” Salluzzo and really did succeed. Cheerleader Nancy Driscoll threw flowers from the balcony to the victor. The final period found St. Mary’s with only five field goals. Down the ladder we go! RICH HAYDEN MIKE AKOURY DAVE CLOSSON BOB CRAWFORD DICK FLEMING We gave St. Ann’s of Albany a bad loss of 78-57. This was our fourth league win. A nine point margin run-up in the first half proved a sure place in the closing periods against St. Mary’s of Hudson. In a non-league contest at North Bennington, we came through in an overtime 54-51. In other important league games, we de- feated St. Joseph’s of Schenectady, 60-51. The team poured in 71 points to take over the victory against St. John’s of Albany. When playing St. Joseph’s of Schenectady on our home court, we beat them, 60-51. “In Unity There Is Strength” Stan Levandowski, Dave Closson, Bern Davock, Dick Fleming, and Dave Begin join Coach Smith to prove it.
