I The Country Day School type of education, with its insistence on participation in sports by every healthy student, finds Minor Sports and junior Varsity teams an indispensable adjunct to the athletic program. Almost every normal, healthy lad cherishes a secret ambition to blossom forth as a star in the world of competitive sport, and yet many likely prospects would never dream of pre- senting themselves as candidates for positions on School teams unless they had first won self-confidence and skill in minor competi- tion. Such boys turn naturally to the Junior Varsities and there under patient instruction and equitable testing they develop their in- herent abilities. Although the spotlight of student interest is focused principally on Football, Baseball, Hockey and Basketball, Minor Sports also have a definite place in the athletic program of St. Sebastian's. Tennis, Golf, Ski-ing and Swimming are not only encouraged, but they attract their share of ardent devotees who enter into them with a spirit that rivals that of Varsity competitors. This year the divot diggers did not wait for the Spring to begin their season. Taking advantage of the ideal Fall weather, Fr. Hannigan rounded up candidates early in October and tested their talents to find that he had quite a galaxy of stars in Bob Kelly, Fran Kett, Bob Murphy, Paul Corcoran, Barry McDonough, Richard 56 COUNTPP rr 1 NWEE I 1.

Early reports reaching us bring word of a 79 for Kel at Commonwealth, an 84 for the long bill hitter, Bob Murphy, and an 85 for neophyte Fran Kett. Although the reverend coach, Fr. Hannigan, has always been able to set a hot pace for his charges, he would not mind in the least if the members of his team turned in cards better than his own. Tennis enjoys a Fall-Spring season and the sport gets off to a good start with the Annual Tournament held each October. For two suc- cessive years, Captain jack Nawn has proven to be the class of the entrants and has won the Championship Racquet without too much opposition. As Number 1 man in team com- petition, he has proved to be consistent in getting his racqueteers off to a good start in matches played against Browne and Nichols, Huntington, Brighton High, and B.C. High. Equally important singles players were jim Ryan and Bob Zock, the former famous for his comebacks and the latter renowned for his baffling southpaw serves. For their de- pendability as doubles players, Tennis letters will be awarded to Art O'Shea, Dan Barbo and Versatile Manager Park Hurley. Under Fr. Aubut's expert coaching, these netmen will add their share of laurels to the School's -I 147 1-
