ability, Ray Burkland, letterinan here in '39, who, although somewhat erratic, may prove useful to the team if he is hot , Pierre Al- brecht, the South American flash, who, although only a freshman, has exhibited fine form, es- pecially on his ground strokes, Bill Bennett, the perennial two-year member of the team, who forsook his West End form to do or die, Austin BASK The basketball team of '41 will go down in St. Paul's records as one of the finest quintets ever to step foot on the gym floor. Coach Haire deserves a great deal of credit for moulding his players into as smooth and well coordinated a team as could be found in any preparatory school league. The final standing of the team was eight wins and four losses, two of the wins being over our traditional rivals, Poly Prep and Adelphi. Dick Morse, big right forward, led the team in scoring honors, while Al Tourangeau, the left forward, was second, Tubby Wasliblirn, play- ing at center, set up the plays and also did his share of the scoring. jack Comerford and Dick Rainey played with true ability, both defend- ing stubbornly and tossing in many baskets. St. Paul's began its season with four con- secutive victories winning over Hofstra Frosh, Mineola, Trinity, and Hofstra again. They were then defeated by the City of New York champions, Benjamin Franklin H. S., and in VARSITY TEAM Hogan, who has a cannon-ball serve, and Fred Kreuscher, who at times shows excellent volley- ing ability. As this Writeup goes to press before the team has been selected, it is still very probable that some dark horse will appear from the number of hopefuls which includes Vandenlleuvel, Far- rington, Barrett, King, and Avery. ETBALL the following game were tripped up by a power- ful LaSalle M. A. team. Once more the Saints settled down to check St. john's and then to vanquish Poly Prep and Adelphi in turn. La- Salle next played a return game which they won also, and the following week in a high scoring, exciting encounter the Saints bowed to the Rhode Island State Frosh. The season came to an end in the most exciting game of the season as the Saints whipped Newark Academy. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with the first five were Fred Giddings, Richie Harstedt, Bob Moore, jack McKeon, and Eddy Regnell, whose ability to fill in and work with the first team enabled the small squad to get the most out of the available material and thus lengthen the string of victories. Because there was no permanent captain elected, each of the boys took turns guiding the team for a game, thus giving every boy an equal position on the team and producing the outstanding team that it was Vane Furlv-One

BOXING TEAM William Bennett Herbert Clover William Reed Charles Brown Richard Harstedt Edward Regnell Rodman Deevy Austin Hogan Willis Rogers Richard Field Edward Rahe james Wynn . -- . 1 V 1 2 i 1 1 1 F Dramatic effort this year centered about the production of a Christmas pageant, which the plan is to enlarge and to preserve as a St. Paul's tradition. Presented by the boarders before their parents and the faculty and their wives, the pageant was divided into two parts. The first portrayed the Biblical story of the Three Wise Men and their search for the infant Christ, the second revived the ancient English customs associated with the Yuletide. The entire perform- ance was accompanied by appropriate carols. This was the first attempt at anything BUXING For the past three years a group of boys have been taking boxing lessons under the capable supervision of Mr. Salmon, a one-time welterweight cham- pion. This year, for the first time, the season was climaxed by a match with Carden City High School. Although the team lost seven to five, each bout was closely contested, with Hogan, E. Rahe, W. Wynn, Ahlers, and Harstedt ac- counting for St. Paul's five victories. Considering the team's lack of experi- ence, we feel the outcome was quite sat- isfactory. of this sort at St. Paul's, and its tremen- dous success was due only to the com- bined efforts of the faculty and their wives and of the boys. Mr. Ellis super- vised its production, Mrs. C. W. Smith was the accompanist, all of the ladies of the faculty, working under the leader- ship of Mrs. Dawson and Mrs. E. E. Smith, made the costumes, Mrs. Tanner taught dance routines, Messrs. Page and Dolbeare, assisted by many boys, pro- duced the properties, Mr. C. W. Smith was responsible for the make-ups, and Doug Criffin rendered great service with his typewriter. llilzlt' Forlv Thru:
