WE RAISED A SONG BOTH LOUD AND LONG l to r, first row: Thomas Raymond Otto Halboth, James McCune William Freehan BASKETBALL '55 AND '56 The St. Pau1's Basketball team had a very representative season this year as they won 13 and lost 10. The rebounding of Don Luger and Dick Barton aided by the expert shooting of Jimmy lVlcCune and Otto Halboth and the playmaking of Rodney Eerreria lead St. Paul's Eagles to a winning season. The season began on December 9 with the Eagles taking a close one from the St. Leo's Li-ons. Lead by center Don Luger the Eagles won in the Hnal two minutes of play. The final score showed St. Paul's 33-St. Leo's 29. Not much scoring took place in this game mostly due to the fact that the starting Eve all played football and didn't have much time to practice. Next came Tarpon Springs who the Eagles handled very easily. Otto Halboth and Jim lVlcCune lead the Eagles with 27 and 12 points respectively. The Eagles seemed to gain some polish as they scored 60 points and Tarpon only scored 43. Largo's Packers put a stop to St. Paul's hopes by beating the Eagles with a 66 to 58 score. Once again the Eagles were lead by McCune and Halboth as in the late stages of the game their sharp eyes almost overtook the high scoring Packers. 138

TO CHEER OUR SHOOTING STARS TO VICTORY LOOKS TOUGH TONIGHT THE BALL LAST I to r, second row: Richard Barton, Don- ald Luger, Rodney Ferreria, Anthony McNamara. On December I7 the Eagles took on St. Pete's Green Devils and absorbed a bad shellack- ing by the smooth working Devil quintette. Highlights in the game for St. Paul's were once again lVlcCune and Halboth, with their sharp eyes still pinpointing the steel hoop. Christmas vacation took over now and this meant time for the TBC Second Annual Holi- day Basketball Tournament. The Eagles play- ed Tarpon Springs in the first game, but they didn't seem to be able to handle the Spongers as they did before. The Spongers this time defeated the Eagles 48 to 44. A valiant effort by senior guard Tom Raymond almost turned defeat into victory as he scored more than ten points in the last four minutes, but this was still not enough to stop the fired-up men of Tarpon. The regular season started again and the Eagles traveled to Vlfimauma to take on the defending Champs. Wimauma's tall team proved too tough for the Eagles to handle and came out on top of a 48-41 count. Next on the list of opponents was Pinecrest. The Eagles got back to their winning ways as they defeated the Pilots without any trouble. Two new point makers entered the scene in this game, Dick Barton and Tony McNamara, as they too found the range liof the little roundp of the Basket. Final Score 73134. 139
